Free Flight, Free Speech

Thanks all, little late reply

Still working on the animations I'll PM it soon to you, meanwhile made the paintkit for the fuselage from the MD-90:

Yes, you're right didn't fixed the animations yet.

I use Blender

@it0uchpods: Here I've 8 steps from the making of the fuselage from the MD-90 (.gif image).


And about the progress of the project, I still have to UVmap the engines. I expect that I could send you the 3D-model Monday over PM.

The engines are placed, but I need to re-do the UV-map because the engines are rotated 90 degrees compared with the A320. I also needed to make new air intakes for both engines. http://i.imgur.com/1gNgivT.png Probably I've got it done this week and with a default livery: http://cdn-www.airliners.net...

Thanks, it wasn't that hard :). I could show you with some screenshots how I've done it, maybe you could do these kind of things by yourself next time. I work quite a lot with 3d-model programs (Sketchup, Blender, AC3D (not my favorit)), at home and school (first we only draw in 2d since some months...

Wings, gear and control surfaces in place.

Now I only need to refurbish the V2500 engines from the A320-family and make them fit for the MD-90.

Fuselage is changed:

I'll UVmap it the same as the MD-88 is UVmapped I guess.

Btw: And we've again the same animations problems as from the 747SP, due that the length changed, should I fix those too?
