New FSX Aircraft in development?

It comes with a licence which prohibits hacking other's work.

I doubt very much that it was designed with hacking others' work in mind. It's developer is a leading developer of MS scenery add-ons and an MS MVP.

There is another utility that works with Blender. I believe it's a bit limited too. It's been mentioned in various dev forums too.

I always think it's a good idea to start models afresh if one accidentaly trashes one. The result is usually much better than the original and does not take much longer then converting an old model. I can see the benefit of this type of tool if one wants to update an old FS2004 scenery project to FSX standards.

Ah ok, thanks Rob, I missed that one.
Still I don't see why such a tool should be publically available.
 
i dont think thats the 'capture program' there talking about robby :wavey:

If its the 'capture program' i'm thinking off then a really cool use of it is to view the game in wireframe mode :)

For scenery, it would be worse, since the only way to capture it would be from a top down view in the sim, then you'd have everything on screen captured into one gigantic mess of mesh... including a/i aircraft, terrain, et cetera...

Aww damn!

So no change from either "pretty please" for the source files or remodeling the mesh and using the textures for personal use with optional "pretty please" to the developer in case of public release.
 
T-38...

I started one months ago and after joining a well known and respectable military add-on company, the boss and I decided to go for something a little less complicated to get my skills sharpen a bit more, right after we decided on a sailplane, BOOM! I had a car accident, I hurt my back and right knee and I'm just waiting for the Doc's test results to see if I can go back to spend endless hours sitting in front of the desktop designing ( I haven't even let my boss know about this but he'll understand ). I don't want to say I'm done with modelling but who knows. I just can't use the program to model with my laptop (which I'm currently using with a beer by my side and comfortably laying on my bed ). I just hope I can go back... I was lucky.

Here's a look at it:

BTW, the boss is around, so I'll keep it down ok? I agree that a FSX T-38 is very much needed. I don't know if my model will ever see the FS lights, right now I'm just hoping to get back in the saddle! oh... and If I do, I think I'll migrate to gmax once and for all.

Feliz Año Nuevo a todos,

Jose.
 
Sorry to hear about your accident Jose, that has got to suck. Great model, nice lines, hope it does see the light and you get a speedy and full recovery. :ernae:
 
Thank you guys!

Well, It's been months since that accident, the doc's getting back to work this week and that means time for new studies and stuff, so I guess I'll know soon how bad it is. After these two months of being served food in bed and pampered, the inflamation has gone. Maybe I could fake it for a good month or so more, just to get that kind of attention from my wife and kids uh! I have faith I'll be all right, I have faith in the good Lord.

Jose.
