What did you do that one on I'd like to take a look at it.If you really want to have fun make a rubber band stretch on landing gear when the wheels hit the ground.

I finished adding the servo linkage and imported it in realflight, they work like the ones on the built-in planes. The control horn rotates with the control surface and the servo linkage rod is static. I just centered the pivot points on all the parts so they're not setup to add animation to them.

As a request, here is the Hangar 9 Piper Pawnee. Used largely in the agricultural industry and for towing gliders, this plane is a real work horse. 3D model and CS by abaser Flight Physics by Boof 69

Thanks I just grabbed it I'll take a look at it soon.

You know, there's somethings about modeling that's just plain work. One is mapping and the other is adding the collision mesh. When you model the plane you get to see it take shape. But mapping and the collision mesh are just a way to make you pay for the fun of modeling it. I was going to start mapping today but I figured I better finish the collision mesh since I only created it for the tires and wings. So now I get to do the two most boring parts of modeling back to back. Oh lucky me. HA!
I've been working on the collision mesh but I gotta stop for a while.

Sounds like you’re putting in WAY more detail in the C mash than I ever did. 20-30 minutes and that was done. Only places I was truly precise on was wheels and wing tips. I’d literally have maybe 100-150 polys in the mesh.
Mapping…….I HATED mapping. That’s also one big reason I had so many models not make it to the swaps. Once I got to that point I was done mentally with it. I enjoyed pushing my limits on the visual model though.

Yeah I'm sure I put more detail into it than I have to, but that's just me. HA !
And I'm the same way, by the time I get to mapping something I'm tired of the project and want to move on.
Thanks for all your work! The custom models are my favorite part of Realflight sim. I'm sure completing a model takes an enormous lot of time, and I benefit from it! Some of your models are some of my favorites!

Would you mind posting a shot of your C mesh around your model? Just interested in how you do it.
Like I said before, the wheels were the only place I was really specific. I'd duplicate the wheels and delete everything except the center 2-3 rows of polys. Sometimes I'd even shrink that down just a bit to give the illusion of the wheel compressing under pressure.

Yup, that's why your models are better than mine. No way I would've ever put that much effort into the C mesh.
BTW, check your email.

Well thanks for your comment but your planes are super fine !!!Yup, that's why your models are better than mine. No way I would've ever put that much effort into the C mesh.
