Designing your own planes can be quite a thrill. It's always 100% accurate, and you can give the rivet-counters the finger!
Even tho that hasn't stopped some from pointing out "inaccuracies" in my designs....
I wish FSX had support built in for VTOL, Rocket, Gyro, etc. May have to sell my soul and go X-Plane 10...

Had a productive couple of days and managed to texture up the cockpit. Originally I had a cloth seat but it looked a bit too cheap so replaced it with a leather one. Don't you just hate it when you have to spend two hours retexturing something you've already done? Oh well, the results are hopefully worth it.

My seat will be covered with a towel during the summer. Had too much experience getting into vehicles with leather seats on a hot day. No need to iron the trousers :)
 
Just a comment.

You might provide side air bags or some cushioning to the sides of the control decks. Those side walls look like they could bash the hips fairly good. Too boxy looking.
 
Hey Pat, What if the seat was cooled? You know how some cars have heated seats (useless in Australia), why not have a cooled seat?
 
Wouldn't the cooling system add more weight? Would be nice as I like wearing shorts during the summer. Anything to stop the legs being burnt or sweaty.
 
Well, I just invented a brilliant new cooling system that only weighs 200 grams!!

And only last week I invented a brilliant new glass that completely blocks UV light preventing skin damage!!!
 
I will sell my 360 gravity generator so you won't spoil those gorgeous leather seats with seatbelts. It is a little heavy at 1.6 kilos so you may not be too interested.

Thats a really fine cockpit!! :salute:

That is doublec:mixedsmi::mixedsmi:l

better put some air brakes on that bad boy cause she looks like she'd never slow down :applause::applause::applause:
 
I'm afraid she is looking a bit ugly at the moment. I am working on the bump maps for the exterior and they aren't looking pretty at the moment :( . Once I sort them out I will put up some more exterior shots (with the massive airbrakes).

Don't forget the cup holder.

Take your time so it remains enjoyable, she's looking nice and very interesting.
 
Well, here you are then Joseph.

Won't be posting much more though as I have to write the rest of the code for the displays and the FMC (note that they only display an horizon at the moment).
