Thanks mate!

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.

Other images! (This time with the pylons)
I've taken a ground image from the internet, it looks rubbish but I didn't feel like making something myself...
Well I guess the point is, I hope you guys still like it... And tell me what you guys think about the modelling and how it looks

Nice job!
She sure is, actually when I sawher on a rainy day from up close on the ramp in Frankfurt I remember she really was shiny! But then again she was then just a few weeks old (A7-ALB if I remember correctly, I'd have to check my images again, edit: checked it, turned out it was a7-ala which means she was a bit older but still. Held a drag race against it...) and she had only been flying from and back to Doha and Frankfurt (with the exception of Toulouse ofcourse).
Thanks

Hey, its going to be a verry good addon, what about cockpit and C++ ?
Still supporting you buddy
Thanks Marc! Well the cockpit has mostly been smoothend, nothing to show really. The programming has (slowly started). In principal I should be able to do it, but what it'll be in reality.... Anyway, I've been working on the BMPS to work with, but again it isn't really something I can show (I'm pathological about posting a BMP here and someone using it... Redicioules actually but still).
Whatever the way, I've mostly been working on those things to prospone yet another try on the front gear, which would be the fourth time I've modelled that...

F747fly and me (well mostly me 
) weren't too fond of the Ambient Occlusion that was on the aircraft, so I jumped in and remade those. The result is almost uncomparable, but I still think things can be improved. Being a noobie and all, I don't know alot about AO baking, so here's a picture on how the AO looks like now.
my biggest issue here is, is that you can still see the edges of the fuselage. Is it better to remove them in Photoshop or is it preferred to set up Blender differently so it doesn't render those edges?

To this day I haven't found a workaround for these edges in Blender. I always process the AO map in Photoshop afterwards...

Me best guess at why that happens would be that edges, dispite smooth shading, casting small shadows occasionally (which has to do with the whole AO theory, I'm not gonna explain it again). So the question should actually if this happens to other programs aswell? And if it doesn't we should wonder if it either doesn't bake those edge shadows or if it removes them automatically... For now I guess the best thing to do is try and remove them manually with PS.
