Yeah, the RATS models are lovely. Happy to hear about Christian Muenier's ongoing works. For the time being, I'll find the repaints for the standard 76, that will suffice until someone creates a specific model. On a quick search, I found this page, https://www.picuki.com/tag/il76mf, where there are ...

Hello, I believe I'm not good at producing military paints because I lived mostly on the civilian part of aviation and cannot identify myself in all the details and "uniqueness" of every single frame variation (repaints and model mods). However, I fell it is important to express my gratitu...

Hi, Thanks for the information. Would be great to have them in sim. I haven't updated most russian birds since RATS released their new Il-76 models, not had the time to move on and replace the venerable SKJ (I know, I have a very obsolete AI setup, life is unforgiven). And, if I remember well, there...

Thank you for the tips. I'll give them a try

Thank both of you for sharing your thoughts. There are many relevant points already to begin with. I'm sorry, my questions are indeed too broad and should be addressed on each specific aircraft model rather than on a global scale. I can briefly pick some points : Yes, I do have interests in aircraft...

Hi, Here are some questions I have addressed to Military AI enthusiasts about modeling standards as of 2020, but including all previous Flight Simulators up to FS9 (which I still use because low end computer) I'm currently back in FS AI modeling and primarly focused on eye-candies. The questions : 1...

Hi! There's some time TFS shown the project of 747 models for AI. But since, I've continued my model of the 747-SP and found out on 747SP.com the some non commercial-SP are still flying. Here are some screen of the model (Currently 4-LODed) http://site.voila.fr/fsintegral/MAAM/Images_B74SP/Boeing_N7...

I'm using GMax so I don't know if this could do it : You could try using an opaque texture, but adding a new material in your list of materials (texture mapping template in 3DEditor) by cloning the canopy material (eg. Canopy_SemiOpaque) and setting the transparent tag of that material to 50% for ex...

Hi if you look with the naked eye to a falcon 50 and falcon 900 there is only one small difference and that being the 900 has a longer fuselage end thus more windows May I just note that I'm currently modeling a new model of the Falcon 900. I started a Falcon 50, but a friend of mine told me that th...

Hi! Thanks to everyone. (sorry, I'm not connected often as I live in a country which is at the beginning of Internet : Madagascar) I'll try the FreeFlightDesign forum next week. The model is about to be finalized, but without the shadow trick. I've done a scenery with LODs and custom shadows for eac...

Hi. I'm currently modeling several planes, and I've exported Models with 2 or more LODs successfully using GMax : All the LODs are in the same model using a Dummy "Exterior" empty object at the top of all sub-objects that are the main fuselage of each Lods : Exterior <- Dummy with no polyg...

You can search for godaired.zip in FlightSim.com files, both Fs2004 and FSX compatible. Find record 105 and change "2" to "0". Save and exit. That won't affect AI flight dynamisc but only show every (AI) aircraft using that air file. You can also use Ctrl+W to change in spot view...
