Here are a few of new projects coming soon. Dornier 17...... Bristol Beaufighter, and one for the folks down under a DH Vampire, I had a requester ask why most of the War planes here are U.S, British ,German, or Japanese.

Curious why you are so determined to stay under 8000 polys? Even bumping up your limit to 10,000 would give you more room to work with.
Plus I'm pretty confident that it's not the poly count that slows FPS, more so the complex editor / physics of aircraft. If you need suggestions or help about collision meshes just let me know. I'd be glad to help you out if that's the reason.
Good job, keep it up.
Yes.. but if my model that had retracts that behaved that way I would not consider air worthy. That very reason is why I do not weather my CSs and such. While can certainly appreciate the the work I have yet to purchase a model with that kind of detail. Even if I were to scratch-build something I still would not because it just does not matter.brentg said:Thanks for the accurate rating on the Hawker, this one was at the wire also and decisions must be made in certain areas, I do think it goes without saying that most of the time as RC flyers we are looking at our models in the air with gears up and 100 ft away
Most of my real models I fly at home would rate a 3 or 4 at best, most are scuffed up..

brentg said:I totally agree about the complex editor and use of pods slow RF down, Trust me I am not determined to stay under 8000 polys, I have used collision meshes with just the right amount of positioning over the said part, Proper tree placement, The problem with me lies in the Dos kex convertor, it wont work at my end with meshes, and the Max plugin errors out also, I have had only one instance where this worked and it hung up in the editor when doing physics, so it has been easier to just take more time and stay under than fight the mesh issues.
It was one of those projects I just was not happy with at the time, I might re-visit it after I get thru some issues at home. Not much Realflight or modeling in the last couple months..bmz_loop said:Hey Brent,
Whats happened to the Beaufighter?
