• 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 had a moment of madness and made (in 30 minutes) a monstruous 700 meter span flying fortress inside which you can actually land, just remember to turn the parking brakes on and put the elevators in maximum down deflection!

I'm still fixing some stuff and adding effects... I'll be making a film with this firing balistic missiles and shooting up everything with 20 planes behind it! :D

Here are some pictures:

I don't know why, but I just want to shoot it down. Apparently looks too menacing, lol.
 
I managed to make it shoot balistic missiles (effects).
You see 4 small lights shooting upwards into the sky and a bit after a shockwave and these huge balls of fire!:

It looks like some sort of "alien spaceship" off of that movie "Independence Day.":eek:

Best. Movie. Ever.

Somebody needs to make super-detailed flyable models of both the alien fighters and the massive city destroyers from that movie :D
 
Nicely done XPand!

Thumbs up.

The shape is sort of like the first 'foo fighters' reported by that man in a Cessna or the like, a crescent shape.


I live in Phoenix where that V shaped flying wing thing flew over at dusk. Many saw it through out Phoenix. Someone told me to go out and check it out and I thought they were drunk. arrgh... It actually flew over 3 times before leaving. Appeared, flew to the gunnery range South of Phoenix, then back, returned and left.

Some reported on TV from different parts of Phoenix that they saw an illuminated bay in the belly, like a hanger of sorts. Wild stuff...

Lookin real cool. I look forward to the video! And when VRS brings out the tacpack, the fun will really begin :)
 
Great...you seem to whip these models up real quick...you should think about making a tutorial video for newbies.. from making the first shape to exporting to fsx..esp covering texturing and animations ;) Maybe using the Yak-15 as project.

Eheh, yeah I tried that once.
I think I still have the video:

But back then I had no mic. And it was for a friend of mine that I knew personally but lived a bit far from my place.
And was when I had only about 1 year or 2 of experience working with gmax so I didn't knew the tricks I know today to make them even faster and better...
 
Yes but now you "Oki3D Canobi" can teach me how to do it right..and texture..and animate. It come natural to you :)
 
I guess I could make a tutorial on a low poly jet fighter on how to model, texture, animate and export it on to FSX... But I have to get a mic first... And it will be a few hours of tutorial.
