• 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 Everyone!

I am working on a Jodel D112.D, it will be freeware. This model will have a virtual cockpit, and that is where I am running into some problems. I can not find a good image of what the cockpit looks like. I have searched the web and have found some images but they are not very good.

If anyone owns a real Jodel D112.D plane, or has images of the cockpit, and would send me images of the cockpit I would be very thankful. I will give you credits in the model as a resource contributor.

Also if you have any commits good or bad about how the body looks so far please let me know.

I have not applied any textures to the body yet. I have applied simple materials just for rending.

Images Below: Thank you Krispy1001

Nice! I guess the smoothing issues are caused by the fact that the fuselage is smooth shaded. At sharp edges, such shading 'artifacts' will occur. You better select the edges that make up the edge of the window, and do Edge Split. In Blender, hit Spacebar, click Search and type in Edge Split. Looks far better then!
 
Thank you, Zeiten, and Dutcheeseblend for your suggestions. I will fix the smoothing issues.

I appreciate your input very much! Krispy1001
 
Hi Everyone!

Here is update pictures of my Jodel d.112D model.

I have added pilot, and co-pilot seats, middle console, rudder pedals, rudder trim, aileron trim, and elevator trim controls.

Hi Dutcheeseblen!


I made the seats with more than one object, so that it will be easer for me the uv-unwrap them latter. I basically put them together the same way that you would make a real seat. I just do not have to seam them together using a sowing machine.
All the items in my cockpit are made like that. I like making at easy as possible to texture the objects as possible.

Is that what you mean?
 
Hi Everyone!

Here are updated pictures of the cockpit with the seats, and main panel textured.

Thanks, Krispy1001

Not a bad start! Keep in mind that AO baking is a possibility which will show off nicely, in particular with these seats (so take care with unwrapping to prevent triangles having a different shading)
 
Hi Dutcheeseblend!

Thank you, for you input. I will use AO bake when I start fine tuning my textures for FSX. And I only use polies when I making my objects.

I do appreciate any suggestions that you have to make my models better.

Also if you have any input for the video tutorials that I am making. I appreciate that also.

My next video will be released next week. It will be on starting the VC.

Hi Everyone!

I re-made the body for the Jodel D112 because of some smoothing issues I was not happy with. I make the mesh much cleaner this time and I do not have the smoothing issues this time.

Thank you: Capt_X, and Dutcheeseblend for your help.
