What I do is create verticies, place them in spot loosely. Then using the create face tool in the side menu, create faces connecting the vertecies. After making them adjust as nessesary to reduce/eliminate the smoothing issues and make it look smooth.

Re: 717

one way you can save on polygons is to not have a virtual cabin visible in the exterior model, im not a fan of modelled in windows because you can't customize them at all expecially if an airline has a non standard configuration

otherwise looks real nice so far.

Have you replaced the FS9 model with the FSX model, that might solve the problem.
