Sotonye Posted May 18, 2013 Report Posted May 18, 2013 Really nice. When do you hope to finish? Quote
Jordan P. Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Posted May 18, 2013 I could see it being done at the end of the year, cause this summer i am just hanging out, so i will have a lot of time drilling through it but really no promises. Quote

Michael_Chang Posted May 19, 2013 Report Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Here is another shot of the beast! looks good! i'd recomend rounding out the wing box fairing, just the upper level of it (near the front), also, the frames of the windows appear a little far apart, though it's hard to judge based on the distortion of the lense in the screenshot. http://www.aeroporto.fvg.it/foto_ok/albums/GENERAL-AVIATION/2006_Citation_X_6.jpg Edited May 19, 2013 by Michael_Chang 1 Quote
Jordan P. Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Posted May 20, 2013 Yeah i see what you mean in this pic you can see that the 2nd and 3rd frame is a bit to thick and the middle looks about right maybe a bit to big. I will fix the rounded area right now cause i see what you mean! 1 Quote

I will fix the rounded area right now cause i see what you mean! Looking good! notes for improvement:all the bars between the windows should be parallel (the edges of window 1 and 2 aren't parallel and are a bit too far apart)the foremost windshield should be largersecond foremost should be longer, but shorterthird windshield is too bigalso, note in the attached photo, the top and bottom of the entire windshield isn't a parallel line, the windshields get smaller and smaller, with the first two being level on the bottom, but not on the top, and the third one being much smaller than the rest.the first two windshields are slanted downwards, the third is horizontalStill, it's going well thus far, keep up!

And which ones are 1 2 and 3second foremost should be longer, but shorter = the middle one right? Longer but shorter? huh?third windshield is too big = is that the one closest to the dooralso, note in the attached photo, the top and bottom of the entire windshield isn't a parallel line, the windshields get smaller and smaller, with the first two being level on the bottom, but not on the top, and the third one being much smaller than the rest. = okay i see what you mean all windshields are parallel at the top except the one closest to the door for it is smaller and more slanted.the first two windshields are slanted downwards, the third is horizontal = gotcha Thanks,Remlap P.S. sorry about the confusion Quote

Jordan P. Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Posted May 20, 2013 Hahaha no problem thanks for clearing that up Quote
79carboy Posted May 24, 2013 Report Posted May 24, 2013 Amazing job on the plane, keep up the good work, I hope it does come out when you expect it to, because i am drooling over the pictures 1 Quote
Femke Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Well I haven't been around x-plane much lately as have been enjoying the summer with my new toy, the Canon Legria HF G10 camcorder and riding on steam trains. But I pop in to keep abreast of developments now and again and one of the first places I visit is this thread. Remlap you a doing a great job, and it is so nice to see a young person happily taking advice then acting on it without seeing it as some kind of personal attack. Carry that attitude with you through life hon and you should do real well. As regards this project your doing fantastic and I am amazed at how well those like you can develop such exciting software. If anyone shares my love of steam trains you can go to my Youtube page and see the video I just posted http://youtu.be/AU6H1YnqgG4 if that's okay Cameron I hope I am not trespassing on the boards good nature.

Jordan P. Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Posted June 20, 2013 bit of editing, i need to move the front part of the wing box back a bit, i know. But i started to model the basic H Stab, V Stab and but the object that joins them. i have to smoothen that object a bit and model it better but it is going well. My mouse broke so i couldn't work for the begining of summer. Suggestions please say them Quote

My mouse broke so i couldn't work for the begining of summer. Suggestions please say them looks good! Progressing really well for a first jet. A suggestion, the wing root fairing, or wingbox, is it not connected to the fuselage and in one mesh in this plane? because on the real airplane, the wingbox is smooth, not bumpy as it is in your rendering. If you take a look at the photo below, you can see that the wingbox has an up and down curve to it, starting from the third passenger window backwards. The blue and gray stripe provides a pretty good guide as to the shape of the wingbox 1 Quote
Jordan P. Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Posted June 20, 2013 okay so i should make it more of one mesh. So it has that cure and connects smoothly, if thats what your saying. Quote

Jordan P. Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Posted June 25, 2013 Engine needs loads of work but it is a start and the gears are coming along 3 Quote

Rear landing gear also being worked on. 3 Quote
Jordan P. Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Posted August 6, 2013 Here is a pic of the new cockpit, it is really coming together nicely. 4 Quote
brent123 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Posted August 24, 2013 Hey man, did you make the cockpit from a poster?If you did, where did you get the poster in Hi-Def? I only found payware ones and they cost a lot... Mat Quote
Jordan P. Posted August 24, 2013 Author Report Posted August 24, 2013 I had a poster that was terrible quality so i did it another way but that is a secret for the person who helped me (has nothing to do with using payware stuff and trading them) Quote
brent123 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Posted August 24, 2013 Ermehgerd Rem, why do you keep everything as a secret? lol Thanks anyway Mat Quote
