I say an interesting image on on of the references I have so I though I would see how it looked.

 

[legoman]

Ahh something that is harder in the sim than real life: 150 bomb bay doors... they are garage door style doors that roll in a (curved) track.

Wow ... what a challenge that presents. A nightmare in the making.
You actually going to tackle that ... I counted 19 individual panels and 8 bays.
Without going to my calculator, I say ... that's a lot to things to move ... and in a curved track.

Very interesting feature, will be nice to see how the roll up doors are done, you just keep amazing us Legoman.

sorry for the lack of updates the internet has been out since friday night saturday morning till noon ish today and a power outage for a large portion of yesterday. I will try and get some pictures up at some point. I think i have an idea to make it "easy" ish (linear actuator). I have it currently setup via nup commands but they are not quite enough control without a lot of work multiple pivots/objects per door

 

[legoman]

A new Beta. it may hit lower end computers hard (no collison, lots of parts).

channel 5 open bomb bays and drops the bombs
Channel 8 slides the gun turrets out
the slider aim the guns

 

[asj5547]

Thanks for the beta Legoman

 

[technoid]

Thanks I'll check it out.

Love the XB-35, awesome roll up action on the bomb bay doors and delayed/sequenced bomb drop, the gun turrets add realism (hide/show plus pan left/right/up/down) with back sliders, the landing gear doors sequencing is another great feature, also the contra-rotating props, and lots of camera angles to view from (5 cameras).
Superb work Legoman.

good golly. That cockpit reminds me of the USS Enterprise bridge.

 

[legoman]

Brought The B-49 up to where the B-35 is.

 

[uncle twist]

Looks FANTASTIC Legoman...!!!!, got a question though regarding the canopies, specifically the small dome and the rear canopy......who sits in those positions, any idea ...???

 

[asj5547]

Awesome, great work.
