• 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.

Might as well show you guys what I have been tinkering with. KRSW is giving me a headache as for some reason or another I am getting CTDs as soon as I get near Naples or Tampa, and if I load directly from KRSW, I can be only in cockpit view and be looking down RWY 6. So with the incoming arrival of my twin girls, I figured that I would be awake most of the night anyways, and might as well make good use of it. Plus it gets me back into using 3dsMax as it was intented....making models... (no dig at scenery makers at all). Plus it helps me get back into the groove of the EC155.

Bro, that's awesome news! I remember last snapshots from the VC and they are staggering! Keep up the great work and congrats once again for those beautiful babies.

Thanks to Mark, Bill, and Sergio for giving giving me tips on the best way to map this...Also got some more detail added in, along with cleaning up the mesh and re-doing the nose section..

Haven't decided yet Sean. Redoing the fuselage right now. Wasn't happy with the way it looked at some angles...

Went back to the orginal fuselage as the 3 views did not look at all like the original aircraft once I meshed it out....While the mesh looked great, the shape was completely off....So I redid the fuselage again, using what I learned about quads...

New fuselage next to original

Starting on the chin bubble using a different method. Started by extruding the center out in the shape I wanted and then extruding again to get the roundness I needed.... (with turbosmooth active)

Finished chin bubble showing the smoothness of the reflection. no lumps or bumps compared to the previous version....Very happy with this.

Goal for today has been accomplished....Got the nose done, and adjusted the bulge in the cockpit door where it meets the nose.

That's a beauty and you're overcoming all modeling challenges swiftly.

Keep up the great work!
Sergio.
 
Looks great bro. I saved this the other day as I wanted to do a new model later the road, maybe you might have a use for it ;)

Thanks George and Sergio! Still not 100% happy with the new fuselage, especially right at the rear door. The indents there are really confusing on how to correctly model it.
