  1. This has been sitting around my brain for a little while now, I want to make a car for x-plane! I remember a while back seeing cars that worked in X-plane, and ground vehicles, and although this sim is for planes, I think that a car would be cool! The car would probably be developed by my team, and would feature high detailing (with polygon counts higher than most of my aircraft) and a variety of bespoke options if someone wants something special.

     

    I'm posting this to guage interest in this project. Most likely, it'd be a luxury sedan, since I'm not a huge sports car person.

     

    so the main contestants are:

     

    Rolls Royce Phantom family

    2013-Rolls-Royce-Phantom-6.75-liter-V12-

    This would include the Phantom, Phantom Extended Wheelbase, Phantom drophead coupe and the Phantom hard-top coupe

     

    Bentley Mulsanne

    08-2011-bentley-mulsanne-review.jpgThis would include just the Mulsanne, with the 33000$ option of ipads and ipods for a working office in the mulsanne.

     

    Bentley Continental Family

    2006-wald-bentley-continental-flying-spu

    This would include the Continental GT, GTC and flying spur

     

    Maserati Quattroporte

    2013-Maserati-Quattroporte.jpgThis would only be the Quattroporte, nothing else.

     

    Maybach 62

    Maybach62S_LAAS.jpg

    This would probably include the shorter models of the Maybach.

     

    Or the Brand new, Bugatti Galibier

    Other options are welcome, This project would be a nice small side project to the main 787 series.
  2. I find that B747 Classic package is great and totally wort the 20$ now if you want a really crappy payware plane just go and look at Peters DC-8-71 that he sells for 12$, now that is outdated, the 7 B747's are far from outdated.

    I'm done.

  3. That is your opinion, and honestly that is your opinion about almost every plane.

     

    That is more than an opinion, the plane is outdated.

     

    No, my opinion on this, and perhaps 4 or 5 other jets as it stands today is that they are outdated, others may be poorly modeled or insufficiently built, but not out-dated. Typically a plane needs to be old to be out-dated. 

  4.  

    • 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) = do you mean the top and bottom of them?
    • the foremost windshield should be larger = which one? And which ones are 1 2 and 3
    • second 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 door
    • also, 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 :D

    Thanks,

    Remlap

     

    P.S. sorry about the confusion

     

     

    omg so sorry i wasn't thinking writing this window 1 = front, window 2 = middle one window 3 = last one

    longer/shorter = longer in length but shorter in height

    yes third windshield = one closest to the door

     

    omg so sorry

  5. 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!

     

    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 larger
    • second foremost should be longer, but shorter
    • third windshield is too big
    • also, 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 horizontal

    Still, it's going well thus far, keep up!

  6. Yeah, thats what i hope. But i still think that the A350 looks not good. Well it has been build under the newest aerodynamical rules.

     

    The a350 has a huge number of common traits with the a380, it features a similar nose gear and gear box design, along with a very similar cockpit.

  7. Seems to me you have to make the nose look funny in order to make a next-gen super-efficient widebody. 787 anyone?

     

    -NR

     

    well, the nose is mostly aesthetics in both cases. MOSTLY. The other reasoning, is that now, designers have much more complex modelling tools at their disposal, and molds for planes like the 787 and a350 are becoming more and more complex in turn. although it doesn't seem that way, both the 787 and a350 have extremely complex nose cross sections, that need to be carefully designed for maximum efficiency and practicality.

     

    Following the general opinion, YES that plane looks amazing! It's interesting, how wide the landing gears are, and the shape of the windshield and "mask" around the panels
