Flash photos will not be a problem. I can photoshop the flash out or just take the photo with a soft light filter on the flash. Goran

Plane shape and all parts are complete. Now I begin working on the really fine details of the aircraft starting at the nose and cockpit. Smoothing things out, etc... I'll put up a screenshot of the nose and cockpit when it's done. Goran

Progress. Lots of mistakes were made and a few deletions made because I wasn't happy with the progress, but it's coming along nicely. New fuse and new wingbox. Engines are hollowed out to make room for rotating fans and landing gear has been positioned. Tail section will be redone. I did a rough one to allow for positioning of the attachment at the bottom front part of the assembly. Goran

Incredible. The satisfaction I am getting in creating my own aircraft from scratch, the Hawker 4000 (Shameless Plug!), is priceless. I can safely say I am working on it on my own...for now. And I never have to worry about someone accusing me of stealing their work. Rafael, please, you are not doing yourself any favors. I have spent countless sleepless nights creating the general aviation aircraft in my virtual hangar because I truly do enjoy the Creative Process and I get carried away. The Hawker 4000 (Another Shameless Plug!) will be my finest creation to date. I do have 1 secret to tell but that will be known when I finish the Hawker 4000 (Final Shameless Plug!) Rafael, please, stop stealing other peoples work. When someone works very hard on something and then someone steals it and palms it off as their own hard work, it's very very bad. Especially when the person who created it in the first place, allows people to have it for FREE! Goran

WingBox and both engines are done (minus the fans). I got rid of the wingbox in the other screenshots because I found a better and more accurate method of representing them. No more screenshots until all parts are done. But it's looking good. Goran

I've decided to start the 3D modelling from scratch instead of modifying the imported obj. file. I have more freedom then and I don't have to be limited in the movements I do. Anyway, screenshot of the fuselage Slow going but it's getting there. Also, I have taken about 60 photos of the cockpit and other external parts. Goran

More Screenshots with added Misc Bodies. Now I start working fully in Blender. I made as much as I could in Planemaker so I only have to do some tweaking with what I already have in Blender. She flies beautifully and I asked the person I know to test fly it. He said it handles almost exactly like the one he owns. CG limits aren't entered so that might be why. Anyway, 3D previews coming. Goran

I WILL take you up on that offer. I'll be in touch! Goran

After making about 15 aircraft (Mostly GA stuff) in Planemaker, I've decided to make a possible payware model. The Hawker 4000. I was going to make a 747-400 but Javier told me it would be too much for a beginner in the 3D world, like me, and so I started on the smaller stuff. I have a lot of documentation on the Hawker and I know someone who owns one so I can get a lot of detailed photos on some of the hard to get areas. I've made as complete a model as I could with Planemaker and a lot of time was spent moving vertices around to make it look as smooth and accurate as possible within the constraints of Planemaker. Today, I have started on the 3D version using Blender. I was trying to get used to 3DS MAX but I think Blender is easier to get used to. Anyway, 1st screenshot of the planemaker version. I have added some more Misc Bodies onto the actual plane since this screenshot but you can see where it's going. This will have a full 3D cockpit with whatever systems I am able to model using the documentation I can get. More updates in the coming days. Goran

I have actually flown this route in real life. YSSY (Sydney Int'l) to YSCB (Canberra) I was an MSFS user but haven't touched it since I bought X Plane. All because of the video of the CRJ. Goran
