The B24 whether its D or J is close to my heart. I have started some preliminary work on it using files provided to me by Dave (Dangerous) Boyington. I have not gotten too far with it as I'm finding GMax very difficult.

Hello John, I'm afraid you're just the next person to hear my cracked record, :redf: but a fine set of tutorials on gmax modelling was available via the Aircraft Design and Animation forum here at SOH. Like everywhere else, the original threads were lost with the server crash, but Milton has promised to put stickies back up. Meantime the material is still available on Milton's own site:- http://www.flightsimonline.com/C162/

It doesn't cover everything since it's targeted at FS9, but I learned a lot from it.

And if I'm not mistaken, in AvH there is a Float Swordfish whose WEP is so powerful that allows you to take off even from land...that's very convenient in QC (AFAIK there is no way of starting QC in the water, isn't it?)

Wasn't that in CFS2, for launching off the top of the turret or something? I don't expect I was the only one who abused it copiously, either... :icon_lol:
 
i think someone should make a North Amaican p-61 black wido. it looks like alot of fun.

Thanks hairy and its not a problem. The problem I am having with gmax is unfortunately a little more complicated. I received model files in 3DS format from Dave (Dangerous) Boyington (B24J and B24D). The problem I am having is taking those files and making them usable for CFS3. There is still alot of work to do. I need to break the plane down to its parts basically and reattach them with the proper names and order and this is where I am having the problems. Had I been doing this from scratch I may have made more progress (am working on another project from scratch PZL 50 Jastrzab). But I am in bit of a stalemate at the moment. If anyone has any ideas I welcome any input though R/L at the time has my time at a minimum.

Thanks,

John

After he has finished the Mossie's, Dave (Dangerous) Boynton has the P-61 next on line, it's a plane close to his heart.

Hi guys,

I vote B-24. I hope Polecat can get it to work. The Sunderland really is a beaty. In my humble opinion the B-24 dominated the ETO much more than the Sunderland. Ans I don't use payware. So a freeware version would be beautiful.

Perhaps I don't get the argument (so don't shoot when I don' t) but I can not understand why a new build freeware version would cause a lawsuit. There are a lot of planes in pay- as well in freeware version.

Building one from the ground up wouldn't, but making stand-alones of the Firepower ship would, which is why the Coastal Command Liberator GRVI is a kit using ndicki's skins, leaving up to the individual to alter the other files
