Nice!

Taz,

Here's an updated AV, where I've adjusted the low end throttle curve. See if this matches your engine more closely.

Just a small progress report. 1208 polys involved so far.

"Feels" much better. Of course I was also thinking it could be that we slam the throttle around on the sim, but not in real life? But whatever changes you made, much more realistic.

Awesome work. Thanks.

In that case the AV is probably ready to go. Andy, do you need my naming convention for use in your model?

Also I've got the main part of the engine completed except for some material assignments. It uses 3747 polys as is. There is another mounting plate that could go on the back but is unlikely to be able to be seen, so it will be a separate part if I do decide model it. I'm also going to add spark-plug wires and an exhaust system. These too will be separate items so they can be included or not depending on cowl cutouts and poly budget.

 

[abaser]

Motor looks great Doug. It probably wouldn't hurt to get your naming. That way all is good in the end without issue. Thanks!

Thanks. I figured we would be the same, but you never know.

Headers & Pipes - 2K polys

 

[Maj. Numbskully]

[abaser]

Doug, would you map the pipes and headers?

 

[dhk79]

I could, but probably best would be for you to import it as a 3DS and then map what you don't want baked-in along with your plane. Remember that you can only have one map for the whole project.

At present I have the tuned pipe in chrome and the header in steel. You could also cut off faces and/or parts that won't be visible through the cowl cutouts. Plus the headers will probably need adjusting to fit the aircraft properly. I just winged their curve, which likely has the pipes too low to fit.

 

[abaser]

Not a problem. Its looking great so far.

 

[dhk79]

OK, engine is complete.

If you want me to edit it to fit, just say so - if not have at it.

I think I can handle it from here. Thanks!!

 

[dhk79]

Andy, do you do your primary modeling in Wings? If so, I can also give you a .wings file.

 

[abaser]

Yup. I'm a wings guy now. I've tried blender and max, but wings is where I call home.

 

[dhk79]

Been there, done that...

 

[Taz_Hobbies]

Can you guys share what software you are using for this?
I'd like to learn a little more about what you guys are doing.
