Started work on this one.

Interesting model, looks good.

Part plane, part DeLorean eh ? Don't forget flux capacitor.

 

[Donamy]

Lol !!!

 

[technoid]

Cool plane what type of propulsion system does it use?

 

[Donamy]

A pusher prop.

 

[Donamy]

I think I got all the naming done. Now for the texturing.

Looks great, nice cockpit details. Will the wing tip navigation lights work. ?

I tried lights on the Turbo Timber, but they really didn't work correctly. Can you tell me how to get them the glow properly ?

I think all you do is add ~csglow to the object. But then the other guys know better.

Here's what I did on the F8F-2. Then fly a night field and they should light up.

Thanks for the tip.

If you are flying at night in cockpit view, can you have lighting ?

I've never tried it but you could use the same thing to create small bulbs in the cockpit. I don't know if they'd be a pin point light or have a decent glow

Texture mapping is done. Now to import it to MAX for smoothing groups and parenting.

 

[Donamy]

Would anyone want to try this out, and see if they can get it to fly more stable ?

It's a pretty big plane. 15ft wingspan.

Give this a try and see what you think. It's not perfect but a lot better. I went with a non-turbine engine but you can change that back. If you stick with a gas engine I'm sure there is a better sound.

 

[Donamy]

Yes, it is a lot better. Please tell me you did more, than just move the cg and change the motor.

Thanks, very much by the way.

Yes I also added some down pitch to the engine, changed the prop type, etc.

Here it is with a better engine sound and the nose wheel fixed to steer.

Could you look at the nose door timing. They open after the nose gear deploys now.

I'll see if I can do something. Bedtime in a bit for my early am shift. It's going to be a nice plane btw.

Maybe technoid or Doug can take a look too. I'm not as up to par on gear timing.
