great stuff.. thanks
Let's make an Aircraft

Wow. Maybe you can find your new job after Easter. ha. 🤗
Good looking tail there.

Good luck on both employment and Carbon Cub.

Love it, this is looking really good!
Great attention to detail on the landing gear there Stabilizer also looks pretty much finished (apart from all the steel wires). Good job!
Can you please the tire for the tailwheel and the rough shape of the cockpit glass next? Throw on a little bit of texture then I can make this beauty fly in Aerofly
Maybe I'll record myself editing the file and speak over it, then upload this as soft of a tutorial

I'm pleased you like it boys..

I was gonna suggest that I'll finish the rest of the outside model to the same stage as you can see on the tail. No hinges, wires or anything smaller than orange for example. Basically I wanna get the main geometry done, smoothed and UV mapped before I send it over. Otherwise I'll have to do it again and again plus it will get messy with too many copies etc..
Also are you able to do joins and animation of moving parts?
I picked up a good pace and my brain is slowly restoring all I've learned using 3dsmax couple of years ago (I was mainly modeling in CAD programs since) so I ques you will have the first stage model by the end of this week (if you take care of the joins)
Over and Out

Flabbergasted. Amazing work.

I have basically zero experience in 3Ds Max, I think I know how to export a model from 3Ds max but that's about it. Usually I get the aircraft model in the aerofly engine format as well as the log file with the axes or I use a certain export file of ours to select my own axis.
What I am good at is everything in the tmd file, animations (based on the axes and pivots I get or from other internal files), displays, aerodynamics, logic circuits, etc.
So I can do the glass cockpit of the carbon cub for example or the electric system or fuel system, physics and joints and aerodynamics and fine tuning. That's why I'm offering to do the first setup of that file, this is something I do in my sleep by now Then you'd be able to convert your model by yourself and add a few objects directly into the sim, check if they look realistic, etc.
After doing the first rough setup, getting the export process flowing and the converter running on your end and and providing you the first needle animation I'd like you to try animating some needles and controls as well, so that there is some learning experience, too. Its actually not that hard once you understand the chain of commands. But I think the others could learn from this too and maybe we see other aircraft pop up, maybe a regular old fashion Super Cub derived from your carbon cub but with a totally different cockpit or some converted model from another sim, who knows.
So for now, yes I'm totally impatient here, please do your things first. It would be better to not have to many versions of the model floating around, that is true

A second opinion on the wing geometry - it is absolutely stunning. Imagine where your design will be in a week if you continue at this pace. Wow, double wow.
I can’t wait to read Jan’s thoughts. 😜

Thanks Ray,
I love doing this, can't believe I didn't start making planes ages ago...
-
BTW any response from CC ?

I am glad you are excited about this design. I hope you become the premiere user aircraft designer for AFS2. We know you will be one of the Pioneers.
It sounds like Jan is itching to make this one sing and dance. This could be the perfect match - Jay and Jan Designs. 😏

None, other than the one reply from the Director of Marketing. I was thinking about sending him a link to this thread to see if I could get him into the fold.

Hi Jan
Any point in starting a thread, lets make a helicopter

We'll have to wait for the physics for that, there are some effects we can't yet properly model if we did our own helicopter right now.
-
Then ...lets make an autogyro , i can help with physics also
-
Yes, an auto gyro would work for me as we wait for the helicopter. 🤪
