• 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.

Newbie needing help with simple propellor model

Hi,

I am new to this forum and in need of a little help. I have little or no experience with CAD but purchased Abacuspubs FS Design Studio to create a simple model for FSX/Prepar3d that has only a simple Virtual Cockpit consisting of the Propellor and engine cowling only and nothing else.

I partly managed it but my prop animation looks dreadfull compared to some of the other aircrafts, mine always stops in exactly the same position (unrealistic) and looks very jerky and unsmooth.

I am currently trying to get to grips with GMax hoping this is going to be better but was wondering if anyone be willing to share one of thier prop models and animation to help me in the right direction?

Thank you for any help!

Regards,

Richard

Hi Richard,

I would suggest heading over to youtube and check out Krisby's videos. They definitely helped me with the modelling aspects. here is his link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCx8GQ7GU3FpuTUYQ4pDHEw

I would also suggest moving away from Gmax as it is quite dated now and Max has taken over. Personally I would suggest using Blender as its free to use and you can follow Krisby's tutorials with it as he uses the same program.

Regards,

Daniel
