Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.
3 Years and 500,000 polys later...

I think that is an illusion. The wing colors are different, the ailerons are deflected, and you are viewing the aircraft at an angle.

Wow...500,000 polys. It's a nightmare pushing around half of that amount on my Challenger. You definitely have more patience than I do when it comes to all the little parts like the inner workings of those landing gear...that's insane.
It would be nice to see some isolated interior shots too.

Wow, are you really done Rob? I know you must be dancing a jig. Take a well deserved break then get back to work on your turret fighter then we'll have a pair. 
Rob probably made the rendering in orthographic view rather than perspective view which will distort/exagerate lengths.

When you start these threads you really should put a warning in the first post.
*WARNING-cover keyboard before scrolling*
...then post the pics in a reply.
Very nice stuff, will be well received.
cheers,
Lane

I do hope someone can explain this then! No Photoshoppery involved, just a long lens on the camera.
^ Wing dihedral. The wings are not at the same angle so the left wing is bent up a bit making it appear shorter at this angle while the right wing is also bent up which makes it appear longer at this angle. Try to visualize what would happen if you were to straighten the wings in this image.

Centrifugal force in the banked turn causes the higher wing to stretch.

Reminds me of a nightmarish physics problem that I had to do a couple of weeks ago...A car is going around a banked turn inclined at 12 degrees with a radius of 60 feet and a static friction coefficient of 0.4, and given that, you had to find the maximum speed that the car could go around that curve without skidding. With about 30 minutes worth of algebra, most of the variables cancel and an actual value can be obtained. I think it was something like 58 mph.
