Wmdaniel 0 Posted June 3, 2007 I finally got to working on a model from scratch, I wanted to start with something ambitious and I actually stuck with it. And its starting to resemble the aircraft. All I got left to do of Modelling is Wings, Engines and Landing gear. I will more images as I progress Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters1807 0 Posted June 3, 2007 Seems like a cool idea, is it only going to be available to civis? or are you going to make it "military"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VXR 9 Posted June 3, 2007 Beside the wings, engines and landing gear.. is there also gone be a cockpit and LODs? Nice start on the model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wmdaniel 0 Posted June 3, 2007 Both, I will do it in British Airways, Air france. and a fictional military version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wmdaniel 0 Posted June 3, 2007 Yeah, I have to find a cock pit which is suitable finding some references. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_shadow 0 Posted June 3, 2007 i wonder where to land it :P i think the Sahrani airport are way too small Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrj-fin 0 Posted June 3, 2007 i wonder where to land it :Pi think the Sahrani airport are way too small We will see more bigger airports on addons maps. BTW nice begin from u. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wmdaniel 0 Posted June 4, 2007 i wonder where to land it :Pi think the Sahrani airport are way too small Actually Concorde is just big enough to land at the Sahrani airport. Even though it is a fast plane. it has been able to land at a real airport of near the same size. Cardiff International Airport. which I have seen land there when I was younger. But we will see if ARMA's AI can land this without damaging the aircraft. Oh the wings are finished. The Engines, Land Gear, tail and X/Y/Z controls are still need to be modelled. I might need help with the cock pit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wmdaniel 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Okay I need a tutorial on how to flatten the wings, I am going to release the model soon, so if anyone can make refinements, because this is the first time I finished a 3D model. But here is a picture of current progress, Oh here is the link to download the model along with the references I used. Concorde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abs 2 Posted June 4, 2007 Hi Wmdaniel, I took a look at your model after importing it into max8, and it looked fine. By looking at your picture, it looks to my like it's just a matter of smoothing groups. 1. Select all the faces that make up the wings. 2. Scroll down in the menu on the right side until you hit the smoothing groups. 3. Deselect any of the boxes that are selected. They may appear either as a yellow box with a number in them, or if more than one smoothing group is selected it may look like a gray box. Good luck! Also, feel free to add me on MSN just in case you need more help. Keep up the good work! Abs [Edit: I just noticed that your wings are flat planes. You should make them into 3D shapes.] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3157 Posted June 4, 2007 IMHO ppl should focus in creating realistic military units or maybe civilian ones that fit into scenarios. Hate to rain on your parade, but currently we don't have cessnas or hueys, why would we "drool" on concorde that is not even in the air in RL? :] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whether thats the 9 millionth M4 pack, or something more unusual like Concorde, power to them for making something, rather than just asking for it in the requests thread Horay for variety Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really, it's wonderful that people think that they can just sound off wherever they want to on these boards. But at least give this man the respect he deserves for just trying by not "raining on his parade". Maybe he's not doing this so you can "drool" over his work, but to practice? While you're entitlad to your opinion, use some tact on where you state it. Abs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want it give it a go of making it. Even though the plane is not in the air any more, but people could use this as either its intended purpose as civil transport. But could be escorted if there is an VIP, possibly a general on board. Oh For you information, it was quite contested technology as the USSR had used espionage to steal blue prints to construct their own version known as the TU-144. Thats another scenario right there.

smiley nick 51 Posted June 4, 2007 IMHO ppl should focus in creating realistic military units or maybe civilian ones that fit into scenarios.Hate to rain on your parade, but currently we don't  have cessnas or hueys, why would we "drool" on concorde that is not even in the air in RL? :] What a rediclious comment! The community is based around creativity, if we all where to make "realistic military units" we would have stock arm a still. (and even stock arm a isn't that realistic) Progression comes out of people like Wmdaniel, who use the forums to get experience, talk to others who have been doing this for years, so i think it would be wrong to just say "No" because it has no military purpose. And i think your bird looks lovely, i tried to make a concord and i failed miserable, its harder than it looks. Keep at it! Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoRailgunner 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Go on! Runway lenght should be more than 3600m therefore we need a new hub btw. is this plane for "South Star Airline" or "North Star Airline" or "Sahrani Airline"?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wmdaniel 0 Posted June 4, 2007 I am considering either Sahrani Airlines and Possibly a Royal Concorde, similar to that of Airforce One. Edit: The small "concorde.3ds" is something I looked on the internet its a midget compared to the P3d file, you wanted something to land at sahrani airport how about a scale version of it.

wipman 1 Posted June 4, 2007 Hi, i don't think that a concorde fits into the Sahrani airports; but... will be very pimp, to have one enterable/walkable where make some antiterrorist, antihijackers, assault, defense missions or things like that. I think that could be pimp to have some thing like that to practice our assault/shooting skills and that could serve for make small coop missions with good performance and realistic enought.

Winters1807 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Yea, even if you couldnt make it fly have one that people could walk around inside, for terrorist scenarios etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wmdaniel 0 Posted June 5, 2007 it can fly, but has trouble with climbing rapidly which makes it prone to crashing into hills. First of the problems was that it was flying in reverse, meaning tail first. I sorted that out now, All that is left is to make the undercarriage which will hold the landing gear. And make to collision detection correct. The build some thing of a cockpit. then go into texturing the different versions of the aircraft. If you want a go of it in its current state. Which is Alpha Version 0.01 tell me if there are any bugs or anything else I have missed. Concorde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcnools 62 Posted June 5, 2007 it can fly, but has trouble with climbing rapidly which makes it prone to crashing into hills. Well, I'm tempted to make some comment about it being realistic that it crashes, but it feels a little bit.. wrong. Anyways, it's a good idea and perfect for missions where for instance some big-shot is visiting Saharni and there's a terrorist attack on the plane, or something. If possible, you could add some sort of ramp that unfolds and make some areas inside it walkable. But I guess it's pretty difficult to do. Good job so far though! keep up the good work!

nephilim 0 Posted June 5, 2007 have you REAL MILITARY SIM freaks thought about that the concord might be used for hostage resuce scenarios. get grip of yourself and use your head Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBâ„¢ 1 Posted June 5, 2007 I remember seeing my first concorde at RAF Finningly in the mid-80`s. Good luck to you with your project mate Just make sure you build the tyres nice and strong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
