well i decided to learn 3DS.... as such lets see if you can guess what i'm working on.... it is easy....:icon_lol:
 
Not for FSX anyway :kilroy: or that i know of... anyway 6am.... i'm heading for a power nap and going back to it after my minds refreshed and i've avoided getting told off by my gal' for not sleeping :icon_lol:

EDIT: last shot for now, until i get back up from my nap, canopy will be cut out from the model once the spine is honed (Hence why i did a rough shaping in that area...
 
Way cool!!!

Always use to enjoy the Lighting at the air-shows in South Africa. Very impressive jet indeed. Next to the Harrier the best the Britts came up with.

"The secret" is working !!!!

I was only thinking this week how I would love an FSX Lightning.

Now off to think about the lottery !!!!!!!
 
Excellent choice, Matt.:applause:

BTW...I remember hearing a rumour about some other developer doing an FSX'd EE Lightning too....can't remember who though?
 
yeah? i'm hooked now only just got up and already fired up 3DS to continue work... todays job.... fuselage...Phase 2 shaping :icon_lol: and possibly cut room for the canopy, depends how my learning goes, as i said this is the first time i've really poured effort into a project, my Grandfather has very close ties with lightning, so i'll be interrogating him about it at some point :icon_lol:
 
thought some of you might enjoy this...

you ain't kidding, just look at the acceleration from a standstill alone, and going into that trademark ballistic climb... that climb alone always and still amazes me...:jump:
 
Hey Smoothie,

Your work is looking great. Nice choice of jet.

Which edition of 3DS did you get, if I may ask? I hear that issue 10 will not export to FSX format. I recently obtained version 9 and it will not export or load the FSX tools.

Bill i use Max 2008, and it's likely to be a keeper in my eyes, this as i said is my first foray out of FSDS where the furthest i ever got was scenery items for my own use...

Everyone thanks for the comments, it keeps me going on this project... heres a little update fuselage phase 2 shaped... time for phase 3 shaping :icon_lol: i do the shaping in Phases, each time honing the shape and adding features, i think i have phase 3 noted as the underside ventral fuel tank....yup i do :icon_lol:
 
yeah this is really turning into a labour of love... not been able to put 3DS Max down all day :icon_lol:

as such i just put the ventral fuel tank on roughly, gotta smooth the fuselage and tank out now, not too much work i'm hoping...
