*Michael Chang and I.

I actually prefer the brighter green. Looks more like grass.

Close to release?

From what I understand, X-Plane is getting better for multi-threading, but it isn't great. It can uses other threads for AI aircraft and loading, but not for drawing things, which takes up most of the CPU. So while more threads will help fps, clock speed at the moment is more important.

Sorry, I didn't know there was one for 3DS Max. I know there have been some attempts but didn't know that any were fruitful.

No matter what 3D program you use you will be fine, but you will always have to go through either Blender or AC3D to export to X-Plane's .obj format, different from the .obj uses by other programs.

I have found that most joysticks work on mac. What doesn't work though is the software that enables you to configure a few things, such as different modes on the Saitek Yoke. The joystick that everyone seems to have is the X52. From what I have heard it is reliable and it comes with sufficient buttons for everything.

Make sure that all the edge loops are smooth.

I think C47 was asking what is going to be in the update("Only in lights system, or profiles, texturing, modelling etc?"), as it already works in XP10.

Hint, hint.

I am going out now to buy another computer and joystick. Just so that I can fly both at the same time. Looking really good there Pete, cannot wait to get my hand on her.

Zroman This would mean that if Heinz got, for example, his nose landing gear within 100 meters of its correct location (given the plane is only ~60 m long), that your nose gear would be within 0.001 millimeters of its real location, or 1 micron! You have made this claim from a picture that shows the highly detailed landing gear on a reference drawing that has the outline of the wheels. Somehow I think that photos have been used in the process, but photos are not very accurate. Unless you took the photos yourself and you know the sensor size of your camera and the exact zoom length of the lens, and have accounted for this and lens distortion, and have included several rulers in the shot for scale, photos are not going to be accurate references from which to design the plane. They are useful though to get the shape right and should be used in conduction with drawings. You are complaining about the accuracy of the work of Vezirgannis, and you are advising that the windows are painted on? Painted windows look horrible and are only as accurate as the texture used. Anyhow how do you suggest getting the interior to line up with the painted windows that you suggest moving around? Why are you complaining when you are making your own 787?

Was bored between school work, so i put a few renders together of the planes I have in the works at the moment. What do people want to see finished first?

All the guards on the toggle switches have the exact same texture on them.

Hold shift.

Its moving. To Melbourne or Adelaide, or somewhere down there. ;(

I look across the harbour at those buildings every day.

The problem with the infrared camera is that the buildings could still be hot from the explosions.

Or the microphone is directional, like a shotgun. Or a combination of the two.

LOL Except that Botany Bay is a massive port.

There is a default C172 that is pretty good, 3d cockpit and reasonably accurate flight model. There is a C152 available at X-Aviation.com. I'm not sure about the R44, though I'm sure there would be a basic one for free at X-Plane.org. Re the computer. It should be fine.

Carlos, what are your framerates like, if they are a bit low, try turning up the number of simulations per frame, I think it is under operations and warnings.

My time is currently devoted to the Extra 300L I'm making. That is when I have time, with school taking priority. But if there is any news relating to the Saab 2000, i will definitely be posting about it at the first appropriate opportunity.
