FSXA Airbus A350 XWB

[Hewe]

Did I already say that I love the finnair livery?
OH-LWA was also the aircraft that took me to Heathrow IRL

Although it seems to be me that the Finnair logo is too small, but nevermind its just a test after all and im sure I'll get to paint the A350 one day..

Well you'll probably get an opportunity soon At this rate I'm starting to catch up with AB them selfs, as the following is in the paintbay as I speak (or atleast I think). Why this one? Well because of the text possition, which I needed to verify So it's not just for fun, although there is that ofcourse (it's great seeing your creation take a shape you've seen in an AB news bulletin).

Fly, enough with the fun and games. Let's see some of those liveries in the skies of the sim with clouds and all that good stuff.

I think Paul noticed me using a glossy node to render the glancing new aircraft look instead of an FSX compatible alpha channel... And he's challenging my bluff....
I can tell you though they do actually work "in-sim", but look very stail (because of the lack of an alpha channel or any details).
I'll be trying if I can create an alpha channel tough, aswell as fix the gears, unwrap the engines and make a realistic glass material... One at a time though

Take your time

Looking at these photos gave me an idea for livery thumbnails! The thumbnails should be of a render or a photo of the aircraft partially sticking out of a hanger.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

 

[AASE]

Wow looking really good keep it up

 

[Marc L]

Whay, now, you can give it to me

Will you be doing a Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) livery?

Sure! I'll do that tomorrow!

Nice idea but I think I might aswell kep it simple, llike this:

Any Progress on texturing or modelling the Cockpit?

If there's nothing posted about it here then there's no progress... In a few days perhaps...

 

[F747fly]

These are the current Thumbnails...

and these are the latest liveries:

(fail on the engines BTW)

But in sim it looks rubbish:

I don't quite understand how to get specular/reflective maps working (or what they should be like for that matter). I think that (specular/reflective maps) and details would massivly improve it ....

 

[Marc L]

Its painful to see it in your sim and not in ours

Nice shots

Have you reviewed the FSX SDK section Environment Kit\Modeling SDK\FSX Materials? The tea pots tell it all.

TAM just received their first A350... Just to make sure you don't get bored Anyway, it is a real joy to follow the progress on this project.

Did read through it, but relating it to Blender has got my gears grinding... maybe tomorrow will bring more luck
