Project Airbus – Talk

It's all real and great-looking...

It's 2010 here. Happy new year guys!

I really like the JetBlue livery!

hello to all.i have just registered and just want to say thanks to all team that makes this lovely plane. by the way i have some experience in 3d modeling so if you guys want i will be glad to help. Stefan Stefan, contact us via PM on these matters. Be sure to give us information on what you know, ...

I love it!

Is it due to editing, or does the actual engine intake have a very nice reflection?

Make it PAB-A388.

Having tried X-plane for a while, I have to say it feels and looks great (well, when it's night it doesn't "look" at all). The only thing missing from it is the vast user base to support it with extra A/C, despite the proccess being more straightforward. It does seem strange to me that not...

No rush, you just read the line.

There are two ways to make a fuselage (or anything): -Spline modeling: you use circles, and then use loft to get the shape you want. This way you make the cross sections of the fuselage, and Gmax automatically makes all of itfor you. You just need to make some tweaks. Depending on how many cross sec...

All things in time. The VC definitely needs some gauges to work, right?

I do not know how to compile sceneries, but I do know that you model it in Gmax as usually and export the airport in parts, then place it. I.e. you model the entire thing, and then export the main terminal & tower, then the taxiways, then the other buildings, then any surrounding roads and so on...

It seems you have become a bit familiar with the tools in Gmax. I think your objects are too high on polygons though. For objects that will be that small, you don't need to have so many polygons.

Keep it simple: the model will be native FS9, and should be compatible with FSX. Take PA's A32x and POSky's 777 as examples.

That's the art of it, making it look good! Go to the sites I linked you to, and look for beginners' tutorials. Then go on with the Cessna tutorial (one of the last I linked). Do these and soon you'll be doing some simple & good models. If I could help you any more, I'd be there showing you on yo...

Once you have created the cylinder, right click->Convert to editable mesh. Then, by selecting Vertex (the three dots to the right) and the move tool, you can make it any way you want. Just select the vertices and move them.

Sure.

Yep, got carried away...

That with the FPS don't sound good Alexis :? What is you PC specs? You won't like it at all. Core i7 920 overclocked @3,8GHz 6GB RAM @ 1140MHz Radeon 4870x2 2GB Average FPS over NYC with default 737: 8-9 With ultralight: 10-13 FPS on X-Plane, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3: 60-no more, no less Bad programming.

Yes, the VC merging in FSX is a great relief for people like me. The FPS however are a pain in the back.

I cannot give you a clear answer on the panel. We'll get to it and see how it goes. The cabin can't coexist with the cockpit because of the renderer's limitation in FS9. It's either one or the other. You will be notified with updates when there is some progress that is worth mentioning, don't worry ...

Hi guys, Following a brief period of hibernation, we've recently decided to get things back in action and resume work on the A380. Being that we don't work with deadlines, no release date has been (or will be) set. We would like to thank every one of our supporters and those who have not lost faith ...

You didn't spoil anything! I really like the logos on the A/C.

Whoever achieves to recognise the aircraft type will be rewarded with a free copy of white paper! http://www.airliners.gr/community/gallery/image_page.php?image_id=18311 http://www.airliners.gr/community/gallery/image_page.php?image_id=18313 http://www.airliners.gr/community/gallery/image_page.php?i...

Told you so! :D have a read at the last series of tutorials I posted the other day (the one with the Cessna). Once you're through, try to play with the techniques that seem interesting and make something simple (like a simple house). By playing around with the vertices and creating polygons for a da...

If you can't find the checkbox, then you don't have Acceleration/SP2 installed=>No DX10. In this case, you may have forgotten to install the texture folder or messed with the texture= entry in Aircraft.cfg, in the respective aircraft's folder.

In the FSX settings, click on Display. On the first screen where you select the resolutions you will see towards the right a checkbox saying "Enable DirectX 10 preview". Uncheck it, exit FSX and restart it. All the textures should be OK now. And as a rule of thumb: bmp textures don't appea...

Forgot about this one. Follow it: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16822

You can become much better. You don't want to know what my first models were made of...

The fuselage is a simpler shape than the Cessna. Why not? Make sure you put all your mistakes and attention into it. This way, you will gain a lot of experience sooner, rather than later.

Start with a few easy freeware models. Maybe try an Ultralight or a simple prop.

Take your time and learn the skills necessary. The method I use on my models is to set up the bacground images and then start out with the basic cylinder shape. When I want to make parts that don't follow a specific pattern (i.e. a wing's base into the fuselage) I do the following: 1)Select and deta...

It would show better in a wireframe. Some points to take care of when you start your next model: -On the nose you can see that the reflection bends a bit upwards. Make sure the splines are on a straight line when projected to their nearest tangent plane (that's how I define it). That means by lookin...

You're right. After all my doesn't have those luxurious tables. I couldn't afford them.

Andre, please PM me the name of the man who gave you permission to enter my jet, without my knowledge. There were three attempts on me in 5 years!

As atomic_13 said if you're posting, it's activated and OK.
That was the link you got: http://www.pairbus.com/?947637669e5a399 ... 623dba45e6

Nice Orca there. Are you making a VC as well?

And it is great, based on what I saw on the video. Really crisp looking textures!

Techmen, how is it progressing?

I thought the graphics revolution would stop for another couple of years, but they keep surprising me...

I love the St. Maarten landing shot!

Good! My only concern is that the nose and cockpit windows seem too long. Might possibly be due to the angle of the shot.

Those could be of use, I've been searching for them. Nice post!

Beautiful...

This can be done in FSX, but I think it only works if the separate models (interior and exterior) were compiled with the FSX SDK. I am not 100% sure on that though.
For FS9, the VC must be built-in, there is no other way (other than reverse engineering, of course, and it's frowned upon).
