• 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.

Hi guys,

Just a heads up on a new development of the Trislander for FSX and P3D. This is a purchased mesh with all permissions obtained to release it for FSX. At this point, the majority of the exterior is fully mapped with AO baked in, but that will change as I had to remap the nacelle numerous times. A VC is planned, but I need diagrams of the panel, overhead panel, etc. I have a contact that sent photos of active aircraft, but the more the merrier. Any assistance to this project will be greatly appreciated.

One of the ugliest aircraft in existance, but it's a cool aircraft nontheless!
 
An interesting project indeed, look for "Joey the Trislander" supporters for possible sources.
 
There are a fair few videos on yt that show Aurigny's trislanders, which have been retrofitted with GTN750s, as well as (as far as I can tell) Aspen EFD1000s, here are a few:

youtu.be/C5EzcC02uJY
youtu.be/lsuR_EzQCtk
youtu.be/9cQYZ7Lk20U
youtu.be/q3oFRfwsBIk

The last one especially has some good close up views of all the instruments.

I'd love to be able to help with this in a way more than this, but as I've never done anything to do with aircraft modelling I fear my input would be more of a pain than it would be a help, but looking forward to it massively anyway.

There is a good EFD1000 on avsim that I may be able to use in this project. I have some contacts from "Joey the Trislander" that have sent some material and David Rosario @pinkjr sent some really good photos of aircraft in service in Puerto Rico. I am looking for manuals, those will help the project tremendously.
 
Some new shots. The model is currently in the paintshop getting the bump maps and exterior paintkit done, interior work should start soon. I have additional contacts sending reference material that will aid in the development of the VC, so I'll start that area once I get the interior mapped. The first livery to be painted will be G-JOEY as that aircraft was retired from scheduled service last year. I am also looking at adding a custom sound system with sound cones for an immersive sound experience (no pun intended) :p, the Real Engine module which will add to the challenge of flying this unique aircraft. More to follow....

Wow, looking good Eurostar. When do we get to see the VC?

No VC previews yet, external model still being worked on at the moment. Once finished, the external model will become the VC as well, minus a few bits not required.
