Wow I love the Skycrane. Will it come with the various pods that the US Army used? Is there a release date?

I thought I was quite fast Mins, but how are you managing to produce these models in days - Lynx Family 11th Jan, Hueys 19 Jan and now Skycranes 31 Jan? Are they reduced polygon AI, flyable models or repaints?
What is it you are actually working with and will you be uploading what you are showcasing?
Intrigued to know a bit more.

Hello, John.
They are all new AI models (FS9).
I don't make it in packages. I only make airplane models...1 LOD.
It will also manufacture multi-LOD in the future. (by your teaching...)
So I can make it quickly.
This is very big of your help.
Thank you.

Mins, if you want to send me your Skycrane source file, I'll make the second LOD for you and show you how it's set up.

Do your helicopters use the vtol system used in other MAIW AI helicopters?

Hello, John.
As I said before, I use FSDS. Is the FSDS source file okay?
And I can make LOD.You told me how.
I'll give you a model after it's completely made.
Thank you.

It is easy to build a vtol system.
John gave me many directions to produce.
Thank you.

No problem Mins, better that you try to set up the LODs yourself in the first instance and learn from that. The process steps in Gmax are easy, but takes me about 5 hours manipulating the parts and the mesh to get the LODs made. I'm sure FSDS developers here will be pleased to help you if you get stuck with the methodology if that's different to Gmax.
Love to see the model then, when it's all done.

These are wonderful, mins! I am so much looking forward to your first releases, and I am still hoping to see some ancient US choppers we talked about in the past....
