Mike Hotel Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Nice - the livery seems to fit the 788 very well.I would prefer the grime beneath the windows to be a bit lighter thou - I suppose todays virtual Pan Am is not that broke and can pay for cleaning their flag ships... What about an animated Pam Ann serving serving the drinks in the cabin?Cheers,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan P. Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Not necessarily because if they were here today they wouldn't have done that because that would help them go under. But maybe they would have, but as i see it if they were doing that today still they would be unable to do that without going under immediately. I guess i will just edit it myself.EDIT: Also is there really that much wing flex because there is so much wing flex on your plane?

Jordan P. Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Oh okay thanks just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Chang Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 yeah, the team recognizes that the wingflex rate of aircrafts is quadratic, not linear, so we're working on tuning that out properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Chang Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 took the 787 out for some long range testing today, a 13 hour flight from london to singapore just finished, a flight from singapore to toronto is scheduled. excuse the livery change in the middle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampster Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Already looks better than the payware 787, really nice!Be aware with your bumpmaps, although it may be fun to look at in blender, the 787 (especially the nose are around the cockpit and cone (hint, hint)) is smooth and sleek. No indentions anywhere. that grey line across the nose cone is not making the plane look realistic... Just my opinion scince you want super realism.-ham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Chang Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) the grey line is where the radome and the nose cone meet, it is there, however we are workign on making it look more realistic. if you look here, the nose isn't actualyl as smooth as people think, there are clear lines and dents around the nose and windshield. thanks for the kind words and advice, we are going to make things better Edited October 12, 2012 by Michael_Chang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan P. Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Is it just me or does the throttle quadrant look abnormally big...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael_Chang Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) here's another shot, i'm actually surprised that the plane looks so good even in low rendering settings.this one's from a trip between new york and paris, currently above the english channel. don't ask why the APU is on XD Edited October 14, 2012 by Michael_Chang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
