• 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.

I am reworking an FSX airport at the moment and could do with finding a low-poly B-17 for scenery and/or for AI use. I have looked in the usual places but found nothing. Does anyone know if such a beast exists or am I going to have to make one? FS9 or even FS2002 may be usable as static objects or AI too.
 
I have never seen an AI one, Tako. But I must confess that your offer to make one is most promising :D

A simple Google entry "B-17 3ds" yields:

http://www-roc.inria.fr/gamma/download/affichage.php?dir=AIRCRAFT&name=B-17&last_page=56

Then - Gmax import of 3DS, a bit of tweaking (weld duplicate vertices!!!), and - presto! The above link is to a 100Mb archive containing 1172 3DS aircraft (:eek:) . Please read and respect their terms of use.
