Okay, you'll get that freaking tank.
But if you ask for a stubby nose version, I *will* kill you! ;P

Geez Bjoern he's just making his desire known...you wanted to be a steely-eyed developer...this is what you put up with LOL!!! Hey could you do the stubby nose version?????

Excellent work,Bjorn :ernae:

j/k :d

Buahahahahaha

Yeah, still all I do is work, work, work and all I ever get is "Can you do this and that?". :(

I don't get paid for investing hours of my time into models, so I actually don't have to.

And even 'though I know that it'll bite me in the arse later on, I'll do it this once because it's in my "boundary of willingness".

But here's the catch...there'll be just a .mdl file for the airtanker subvariant and the end user will have to figure everything else out him/herself. Mwahahahaha!

That's it. No DC-8 ever from me!
 
Thanks Bjoern, the tank looks fantastic and I really appreciate the addtional work you've done. I'll happily add the retardant effect myself and fly the pants off her once she's done.
 
I've invested way too much time into the following feature...just to prove that it can be done. xP

Hi Bjoern,

Thats looks awesome! :d is there a way to apply rain effects to other aircraft in FSX? :salute:
 
:redfire:Excellent Bjoern, really like the wiper effect. She'll make a excellent Hooch smuggler aircraft for them Canada/US runs around Vancouver Island.
 
YOU DA BOMB Bjoern...uh......now do I get the stubby nose version?????????

Hey you're studying electrical engineering...right? I'll give ya a legal hint on a thesis. Mine was Machine Dynamics and Transients In Power System Analysis. A lot has transpired since I wrote that and tons of updated material on it...including new methods of analysis. It is wide open for re-interpretation.

Nope. Hardcoded into the model.

I kind of expected you to bite at one point, considering that Kelowna Flightcraft and Nolinor are major users of the 580. ;)

20,000€ and we'll talk. ;)

No. Try the mechanical department. And I've already got my thesis topic. It's all about polymers. :cool:
 
That's a pretty neat rain and wiper animation! Too bad the clearing action of the wipers is purely an "on" or "off" proposition. It would be nice if the wipers were constantly clearing a slowly reappearing film of moisture, but that might be an impossible animation with FSX.

Nothing is impossible in FSX, but both time budget and patience have limits.


I'll see if I can do something about the "popping" of the wiper trail. To have a slowly appearing film however, would mean a few more materials which in turn means worse performance and a ton more work for me.


Still, at the moment, the 580 is as performance friendly as Piglet's planes, which in turn means it performs slightly better than FSX's default aircraft.
 
Hey Bjoern,

The info on the frame rates is great. Your are honestly turning out to be one of the most innovative freeware designers of 2010/2011 :) :salute:

It's just a small step on my way to "Best FSX dev of all time". :icon_lol:
