Revised A321 Maps

Changes
Cargo holds added to the A321 Standard and included a new map for the AA Trans-con Seat Layout

Im going to have some time to work on it more so and have a bunch of unfinished seat maps so I would like to know which seat maps you would like made. Once I have the seat map maker program finished and stable I will release it as well as empty seat maps for custom seat layouts but until then which ...

Here is something I made that allows you to fly your aircraft based on how you tilt you tablet computer. Then if you have WideFS you can also use this as a means to fly your FS Aircraft on your desktop wirelessly. Minimum Requirements Laptop/Tablet with built in Inclinometer Windows 8.0 or later* Wi...

Here is a cool side program that I started last night. Using FSUIPC it reads the fuel burn and calculates the Fuel Burn per Seat Mile of the FS Aircraft. In this build it will calculate the the data for all Airbuses. Distance is also the true distance flown, not between departure and arrival airport...

Here and there, though on pause for the moment for the AI E170, main road block is texturing since it has to be redone completely

Another Update

Techmen

Mirroring the Engine

Techmen

Work is progressing slowly on the model/textures. Saw that some new models are featuring a modeled LPT so added that to the model. (For those who might not know LPT = Low Pressure Turbine, they are the first set of blades you see when you look at the back of the engine core.) http://youtu.be/X9LwBhV...

Techmen

Model itself: 97%

Whats being done is remapping all the textures to a new (hopefully better) layout which is at 15%. Then we would need to make some master textures for it.

Techmen

Shouldn't be an issue since it will be just the default 737 panel being used (any animation is either stock or hard coded XML in the model)

Techmen

Thank for the replies.

To any texture artist or FDE guys out there wanting to help let me know since I'm currently a one man show and other help to improve it will be appreciated.

Techmen

I'm revamping my 737 model and planning to release it for FS9 http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa196/tech44290/Revamp733-1_zpsdd817091.png There will also some minor tweaks to make it look better such as the new fan blades (Eng1 - New, Eng2 - Old Blades) http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa196/te...

Techmen

Update: Due to commitments the model was slow to progress but now I have been able to work on it some more, here are some screenshot from the last week or two http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/5049/7374l.jpg And a comparison between FSX and FS9 in graphics FSX http://imageshack.us/m/687/6819/fsxinp...

Somewhere between Dec, 2010 and Dec, 2943

We dont give release dates as things are always changing, but I can say is that if this project was a flight, then we have began the initial decent.

Question: Does Wing flex Have a Significant Effect on Performance in User Aircraft? In the A321 topic there was debate whether the wing flex was actually noticeable enough to warrant the FPS impact of modeling it. Well I wanted to test it and given that I am the modeler of the 737, I have a perfect...

New Feature - Wing Vortex Generators (its those pink specs)

Taxi in at KPHX

Model is almost done, just have to add pilots in the cockpit and add the large engine vortex generator

Techmen

Well its been awhile since an update so here is some pics with the latest model update http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa196/tech44290/fs92010-07-2815-31-44-33.png http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa196/tech44290/fs92010-07-2815-42-14-37.png http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa196/tech44290/fs...

Techmen

Used good texture resolution and set the GMAX driver to display the best quality

Techmen

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.

Techmen

Well, the fuse is still there, just hidden in order to reduce clutter

Upper area is more/less complete

Techmen

Time for a face lift Didnt like the curves above the cockpit so I decided to remake the area around the cockpit windows and then make the area under the cockpit and then behind it to make it nicer and more accurate. http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa196/tech44290/Nose1-1.png http://i198.photobuck...

Techmen

It has ABSOLUTLY NOTHING to do with how old it is. It has everything to do with how the slats are driven and if/how they are connected

Techmen

The following is my theory The assymetric flap deployment is from the fact that the slats are not mechanically linked as shown here . The slats are IIRC Hydralicly powered, Pressure in the pistons are what drive the slat up and down, and because pressure builds at slightly different rates across the...

yup

I would say 90% of us in the community use GMAX (or 3D Studio Max for some FSX designer) with the remaining using FSDS though IIRC GMAX is far more powerful in what you can do.

Techmen

Provided I remember to include it then that same gauge in the panel, It just XML gauge that when X speed is crossed, it force retracts the flaps and prevents rextending until below that speed.

Not set in stone yet but chances are pretty high

IIRC it is done by putting a full alpha over the satcom anntenna textures

only by a few months, Then I joined Enigma Sim shortly after thier formation to get help with texture development

Front doors punched out and roughly animated

Its different scales most likely because they fitted on the textures better that way, not everything needs a perfect tail alignment. there are not all that many perfect aligned Full fuse textures anyway such as the posky 737 as it has the tail and fuse on the same PSD but they are off by a couple pi...

Model: Enigma Sim 733SP

Both Items still a WIP

Techmen

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.

Techmen

its coming along, most work as of this moment cant really be seen by screenshots What sort of time frame Can you set for release for this fantasticly modeled 737 Older generation? sometime between tommorow and July 23rd, 2135. We dont give release dates or timeframes since they never can be held

New smaller height nose gear door

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

Also, Dynamic tail numbers are in the model itself so its not possible to add them unless PA decides to release a model with it.

Techmen

Doing a tutorial for a fuse is actually really hard just because shaping a fuse is such a LONG process, best thing IMO is to try to play with it and post your progress. usually people will tell you where it is off and sometimes post a pic to help in fixing it. also look at the wireframes that other ...

Create a cylender, convert to an editble mesh, then make the cylinder fit the fuselage from the front view. If the cylinder is not symetric, then delete the worse half and mirror the better half.

I dug out one of my old tutorials and posted it here http://www.enigmasim.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=329, should help with aligning vertecies to a 3-view

But as stated before, it is an art and will take a long while to perfect.
