• 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.

RELEASED: Fokker T.5 bomber for FSX/P3D

Hi Mr. Daan!

I like very much how detailed you make your models.

I think you are a very talented modeler! And would appreciate anything you could show me.:D :D

The sample on how you start a model does not have to be anything fancy. I would appreciate anything showing how you start a model. Especially on how you make your ribs for your fuselage and then skin it.

Thank you very much Mr. Daan!:D

Sincerely, Kris:)
 
Ok, made my official first flight today! Since I never made the official D.21 first flight in fact, I now decided to do it a bit fancy :D Location is Eindhoven Welschap, made by Cees.

There she is, next to the civilian relative F.36.

As you can see, I didn't configure the contactpoints yet. It is based upon the default DC3 now...

One more time. Basic material colors still, no texturing yet.

Come aboard! The main entry was at the right side, behind the wing.

This is what the cockpit looks at the moment. I made today the framework for the Solothurn cannon, to be placed in the nose cone.

From the position of the tailgunner, one's got a very nice view. Here you see both the old Welschap and Eindhoven AB!

Near Bergen, a shot from the tail gunner turret. Enough detail for the exterior model IMHO.

Coming in at Welschap!

The T.5 will now go the the hangar for modifications and further development!
 
Finally I have been able to assemble the truss structure in the rear fuselage section. I want to thank my Dutch friend Mathieu for this.

I keep going, at the moment with texturing. I unwrapped most parts of the exterior before. The first result of texturing is seen here. I've taken pieces from the D.21, easy as it is ;)

This is the nacelle (partly) with main landing gear assembly.

Detail of the wheel. With respect to the D.21, I improved the threading as well as the transition between threading and tyre wall. Looks awful on the D.21.

View to the front, main landing gear leg. As you might observe, I already made an AO pass.

The exterior is painted with the LVA base color: camo brown. I also made an AO pass, looks good. Next step is to finish panellines on metal parts.

I totally forgot about the color of the landing gear. I earlier showed you grey, but it should be brown. The rim was also dark according to images, but I like this texturing here...

Finished the riveting, what a job :P

progress_01.PNG


Also, started fabric shading. Big job due to the curved lines. The D.21 had only a few fabric 'panels', in a straight direction, but the T.5 has around 30, all curved...

progress_02.PNG
 
Finished basic effect texturing and camo schemes. The Dutch LVA regi of this T.5 will be 856. I've only 3 photographs of 856... And a basic layout for 850-857... Modelling and painting the old Fokkers will remain a challenge.

In the meantime Cees Donker sent me a beta of Schiphol 1940. Reasons enough for trying the textured bird on his creation. It is beautiful, feels like the last piece of the puzzle.

This is the T.5 with running engines in front of the Fokker hangar.

And next to the civil Fokkers. Nice uh?

On the runway, top view.

Wow! Looks fantastic Daan! Is the exterior done now, or do you have to put some more work into it?
 
Thanks Roel!

Yes and no :P the exterior is done, but the exterior model not. There still need to be some panels inside, a crew and armament.
 
Hi everybody,

As you might know, my FSX T.5 is part of a project for the commemoration of the crash of T.5 856 near the bridges of Moerdijk, 13th of May 1940. You can find more information at http://www.13mei1940.nl/
Please have a look there ;)

Kind regards, Daan
 
Thanks Kris!

Some things in the basic interior were still missing, like panels and seats. I added these now.

This is the front section seen from the walkway. The gunner had this kind of view when the roof was closed, he then sat down at the front spar.

Gunner's station, with seat, side console and panel (the 'block').

This was the office of the radio operator, offering us a view rearward through the truss frame to the tail turret.

Regards, Daan
 
Well, Felix, the T.5 should have 5 crewmen, so I would add them. The top gunner/2nd pilot will be controlled by a visibility tag I plan: visible in the top position when roof open, sitting down on the frontspar when roof closed.
 
So exciting to see progress on this aircraft. So much detail, really looking forward to seeing more!
