  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

FSX: The 1940 Fokker T.5 bomber released

Great to see how you have used your FS artistic skills to bring the story of these men alive!

We need this sort of history telling to try to keep the memory of these people alive and to not forget the hard won lessens our countries got in 1940. Sadly it looks like most of the politicians here in Europe have done exactly that..
 
Meanwhile continuing work on the T.5. The panel:

Try this: [url]https://googledrive.com/host/0B3rXXshj-mHdSzdzSnRJVXUzTWs/t5_mainpanel_tr001.html[/URL]

It's the Blend4Web webplayer, that allows you to export a Blender file directly to a .html which others can view. Gives a nice impression IMHO.


Regards!
 
Thanks! Indeed I've a long way to go...

Anyway, some progress on the panelwork. I added the elektrical panel today and did an export to the sim. Looks pretty satisfactory.

From the pilot's viewpoint (yes, he was sitting on the left while his panel was on the right...)

The electrical panel, with the Ragonot fuseholders (does anyone have information on these fuseholders?)

And the VC from the viewpoint of the second pilot in his rest position. The bombardier/commander's workplace could be accessing by walking below the panel. Bomp!

Schitterende creatie !!

Hi Daan,

And a great movie in the end !
My hat off to you Sir.

Groeten,

Thank you thank you ;)

Did a render yesterday of both panels. Only thing left are some fasteners and labels, maybe I need top optimize the panel in terms of modelling. Unsure whether I'll do the needles now or later...
Anyway, I hope to achieve an AO bake on my textures with this quality. I should keep the texture not too dark, I think, in order to achieve that...

Back again, with some work on the left side console of the pilot. Here are located: the main engine controls, as wel as rudder controls.

Thanks Cees! I'm beginning to like this project more and more.

Made the control column today.

I improved the yoke according to references that were sent me.

The new yoke:

The animated sleeve:

This is one single object and is animated by a skinned mesh animation. Everything works fine fortunately.
