• 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.

Hello Forum,

This is my first post here. It is excellent to have a forum dedicated to flight sim develpment. Nonetheless, I've begun work on an AI British Aerospace jetstream 31 model. I've completed most of it, but have not yet completed the nose section. I was wondering if anyone had techniques or help on how to model the nose.

Thanks,
Andrew | Ignite-AI

well there's 2 ways i see of doing that:

1 as a separate object:
start out with a cone; convert it to poly, then just use the vertices and the scaling and moving tools to align it to a side and topview, then you make it fit to the other part, and done


you can also make it from what you have there:

you take the flat (slicethrough) circle and you extrude that, then you split it up in a few extrusions; and then just use the vertices to make it down to a point;

eventually its about the same thing as doing the tail...

tips; use the + sign when the object is selected, then go left or right or top view, and click the 'vertices select mode', then you can select the vertices and use the move tools to allign them according to a reference image.

tip2 take a sideview image; like
77277547.jpg


then make a 'plane' in the side view, and size it the exact same size of the picture in pixels; for ex 1024*900. then just click 'm', and open the material editor, click the box next to diffuse (on the first globe, basic parameters tab), then click bitmap, and browse to your file;

the globe will now have a texture on it, drag that texture to the plane that you created, (dont forget to activate the white-bluecolored cube, so you wold see it and make the view not wireparameters.

then you can align the model like the real one, and continue where you left off... makes modeling alot easier.

i hope this was what you were looking for...
