Brilliant photos it would nice to have some of these built for AI like the Beaver, Anson and Scout

Mike Cronin did a Beaver, search for that on Flightsim.com. I could fancy doing an Anson if I ever get up to speed on Gmax!

I've been unable to find the existing unconverted Mohawk; I've also struggled with the FS9 Neptune and Dauphin. I know I should move on, but in the meantime, where are these old models to be found?

Jon

Thanks John, that's very helpful, not least as I now see that I was getting a little ahead of myself, because I don't have all my textures mapped yet. I was also trying to get the axis of rotation "all in one go". Now I see there is an iteration to get the part positioned correctly in all axes at ea...

I'm making some progress, but I've stumbled again. I have made some wing flaps, which was a first for me, and one reason I started with Gmax, as I could never get on with Boolean operations in FSDS. That went fine, but animating a flap is not yet working properly. Whatever I do to the pivot axis, wi...

My apologies, I thought I'd caught that..

In truth, I made a small start in the autumn, but then real life got in the way for a while. Back on it now, though..

Jon

Yes, I've been able to do some tidying up. Most times I create a part, I'm wrong about the number of sections needed, so welding and slicing practice started early!

Jon

Thanks John; I've got there, learning something else in the process. The mirrored part was disappearing, but then I realized your picture just showed Editable Poly under the modifier list, whereas mine still included the Mirror modifier. I didn't realize I had to collapse the stack; there's a first ...

I've made a New Years resolution of sorts to learn enough about Gmax to actually build something, and I'm slowly making some progress now, albeit with a very long way to go. I'm edging forward on a project, and there are several parts that I need to mirror from left to right. I've already learned no...

Mystifying update: Fired up FS9 this afternoon and it was fine, but I had done nothing at all. Hard to believe there's not still an issue lurking, though.

Jon

Hi Hartwig, Thanks for the quick feedback. You might be right about the x86 folder, although my FS9 has been in there all along and it's been okay until today. I've had Windows 10 for a while now (3 years or so), and it's been fine, even through numerous updates. I tried admin rights, but sadly it m...

After a long period of trouble free FS9 operation, I had a new problem: the sim would load but then hang when I got to the main menu page, either with the aircraft preview screen blacked out, or, if that was okay, the sim would hang when I then made any menu selection. I remembered reading about Pro...

I have a confession to make: when I put together the flightplans for this upload, I had a senior moment and did not realize that I was using part of the plans from the MAIW Elefsis transports package; obviously I would not have done this had I been aware. I had forgotten that the CL-215 was included...

Like a Cessna, but also not. Part of a wider plan?

Cheers Paul, you beat me to it!

Nigel,

There are three downloads for Miljan's models. For the Luftwaffe textures, make sure you have part one, and that you are using 'MKAI_Mig-29_9.12_no strobe' and 'MKAI_Mig-29UB_9.51_no strobe' for the single and two seaters respectively.

Regards,

Jon

How do you correctly set up a long flight returning to Its departure point? As far as I know, the default is to return after 15 minutes, or is that just something inaccurate I've read? Are TNG's used via a waypoint, but at high altitude does that work? Realising I might have picked up some bad habit...

I would like to add some retro Luftwaffe repaints.

This thread has made me think. I am sure that time is an increasingly precious commodity for many, but I also suspect that there are some like myself who dabble but may not feel their work is of a high enough standard to share it. Maybe we should lose some of those inhibitions. Personally I agree wi...

Or Hornchurch (thanks uncle Derek)..
