konyo 14 Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) Microlight WIP Topic Im currently building my 1st ever aircraft addon from scratch. Its a 350cc Microlight aka a Powered Paraglider. Ive also got permission from CSJ to use part of his addon for this aircraft. So a very big thanks to CSJ for that :)Heres a few pictures for you all to have a look at ;)Picture 1 - Whole Model (WIP) Picture 2 - Engine & Seat (WIP)Picture 3 - In-game Testing (WIP)I have no release date worked out either yet as im currently trying to make it fly in game. Even though picture 3 was a picture of it flying in game but it wasn't on my config, i had it on a working config to see if it was ok in game.Hope you all like it :DAlso if anyone wants to help me scripting this model to fly in game then please give me a pm. Thankyou :). Edited September 29, 2010 by konyo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XD Hmm i wish i could release a mini too, but im not that experianced in O2 to build such a big project like that. However i was searching google for free 3D max models and i did stumble across a mini :colgate: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

konyo 14 Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Yes, sorry it's because i'm on my mobile phone.the pc version: Hmm intresting video, not sure if i take it on though, ill see about it after i finish this project. A update on the microlight while im posting. It flys in game now, flys nicely but just needs more tweaking as i think it still has its parachute bones, because when its flying it suddnly stops responding to the controls like as if its gliding through the air like a normal parachute :/ Im currently building the view pilot lod which hopefuly wont take long. Then after that theres not much left to do. Ill post some pictures tomorrow of its newish model. Also i want to thank RKSL-Rock for his awsome help hes given me :D Couldnt have got this far without him :) EDIT : Ive got the new WIP Pictures for you. Theres only 2 though but it shows what things have been changed. The first one is of the coloured parachute which ive been working on, there is still a multicoloured and blue parachute to come. Still got to find right textures before those coloured parachute take place.Yellow Parachute (WIP)The second picture is of the new Engine Design which shows how ive now mounted the engine to the chair which is how it should be.New Engine Design Edited October 29, 2010 by konyo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orson 0 Posted October 30, 2010 Glad you got it flying Konyo , looks great so far . If you do a search in google images for powered parachute ...almost every one that comes up is in the 3 wheel type configuration http://icons-ecast.wunderground.com/data/wximagenew/n/nlwi/9.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your search though, could see those microlight in a future update maybe :D New WIP Update! Ive now put a protected cage around the engine which is found on almost all Microlights. Heres 2 pictures for you to look at. Let me know what you think of it, still WIP so coloures will be cleaned up where the Alpha Channel removed them.

konyo 14 Posted November 6, 2010 Theres been a whole lot of work going on the microlight this past week. And im happy to say its now finished. Just 1 or 2 little things i need to tidy up but other than that the major work is done. Im going to release it to the community on Monday or Tuesday. So look out for then! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
