some of the planes i was thinking of were mentioned by some of you. i didn't mean this thread as a rant, just one of those times i sat down and was thinking "wouldn't it be cool if i could have it NOW." i have to admit though, i do have a pretty fair sim hangar already. probably tiny compared to some of you guys though.
Rob had problems exporting it as the model got too big.
Frustration set in and he got burned out trying to fix it.
We might still see it someday.

a P-61 Black Widow would be nice..
what happened to this one, Warchild?
Let's hope the Black Widow will be picked up again. The accompanying thread alone was brilliant!
I second the remark about the Accusim F4U Corsair.
But there are quite a few aircraft that have been overlooked a bit. I'd buy a DH-C 4 Caribou, a Fairchild C-123k Provider or a Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar on the spot. I have a soft spot for these old work horses.
Cheers,
Mark

Looks like Carenado's Reims F406 Caravan II is coming very soon (guessing a couple weeks)...

Regarding the P-61...
Dave was correct in that I was having huge issues with compiling the model. Between that and the amount of time I had been working on it I had to take a break from the project. In the interim I progressed to using Max for my modeling, and I also managed to overcome the exporting high-poly models issue. Using Max I have also got the hang of doing cool stuff like shadow baking. For the last 2+ years I have been working on a project for EagleSoft that is getting close to completion. I also managed to get a promotion to a supervisory position at work, the downside is that it resulted in my having to put in a lot of overtime that eats into my time to model anything.
That said, I occasionally fiddle with the P-61. The model has been transferred to Max, and I have no export issues. In order to render out shadows I will have to re-map a significant amount of the interior parts and that means I will also have to rework pretty much all of the interior textures.
I have too much time & effort in the project to let it die, and I also owe it to the others that were involved to finish the job. I am thinking that this could end up being sort of my master work in terms of modeling, and frankly it could be quite a while before I call it done.

Robert, if it helps:
there is a third party version of xtomdl out there that does not have the 65k limit. It is fully FSX compatible. I'm not sure but the P3D 1.4 version of xtomdl also is not limited.

Wouldn't be me if I didn't mention one of these, would it?
