Great to see another developer for aircraft models!! Congrats on your model. This aicraft maybe had been my next project. But now i can research for other interessting aircraft. But first i will go for the Grob.

As soon as possible this will be my next step. But until mid december there will be not much time because of my job. From time to time i can do some modeling in the train. But there i do often more different stuff than the Grob because on the Laptop small details or UV mapping can be a little bit of a pain.

kai503 Yes it is a PIK 26. I was lucky to find some good blueprints. So modeling is a bit easier because i don't have to guess to much.

After some holydays it's time to work more on the models. Played with different stuff.

And after my visit of Corse i really like to see a scenery for this. What a beautyful island!!

Yes. That was a fast one

Here you see another testing of how to achive a shape. Ich try different ways and models to get a feel what is the best way

Jetjockey10 If i get this baby sucsessful into AS2 i will have a lock how much have to be changed for the B model

Jet-Pack (IPACS) I am pretty shure i will need help and a lot of answers for the flight model. Thanks for your offer to help

@ Chiefkoch, your right it is a Grob 109A.

KJKsimmer since i am not a professional developer it will a slow progress to get to a flyable model. Especially since the programming of the flight model locks quite complicated and not very well documented. So maybe later i will need a little bit more help from the community. It seems to me the modeling is the easiest part of the development despite it is the most time consuming.

Nice to see the small progress. Some Parts have been modeled before for another project and can be used now. So with every model you can build up a bigger library of already made parts like knobs and lever...

Beside the Klemm i did some testing on further modeling tools.

I use Blender and i converted some simple stuff into AC3D. For this plane i will do the same.

Still learning how to get the shapes i want in Blender and refining the fuselage.

Moin Moin,

as we say in northern Germany. Just started to block out the cockpit parts for checking positions.

Ok,

I startet a test with Blender and modeling for FS2. I did some models before but was never happy with the results. So let's see how far i can get.

This is a very early stage and is more or less a rough outline scetch. No interiors or small details at the Moment.

Thanks for the info

Hi,

sorry i use AC3D only for conversion. I do all my modeling in Blender because i know it way better.

Hi,

if you want to become a beta tester follow this Link and fill the form.

Hi,

the picture shows how i would create more than one runway. Each color is one seperate geometrie as you can see in the name list. The green runway and the blue taxiway each contains three pieces.

Hi,

thanks for your infos. So i will leave it like it is for the moment.

Hallo,

is it possible to give a runway texture an alpha value. Do i need a seperate alpha texture?

As you can see on the picture i want to blend the sandy side a little bit more with the scenery texture.

I tried a tiff texture with alpha inside but it did not work.

Hey,

i followes the example witch is descriped in the USGS tutorial and in the readme.txt of the geoconvert SDK with xxx.aid files.

When i download the xx.jp2 files from USGS there is no xx.ini file. So i downloaded the xx.xml files.

I can start the batch and it will finish green, but i can not find the converted files in the scenery/images folder.

you can find my tm.log and a example for one xx. aid file here.
