Au contraire !

Like jeff said , take a look at how to map the IP on any one of the models jeff and I did with an IP like the
Spartan Executive or the Corby starlet and a few others...... you may need to stack some parts or mirror a part or 2 (where it won't really matter) to make some extra room
mapping it that way makes the actual scale of the aircraft largely irreverent in regards to the IP

I think the FE2b looks fantastic for a first model all the way around even with out any gauges

You misunderstoof me Maj. In fact, I am doing exactly what Boof and you are talking about. I have made room so I can do instuments at greater detail. Your map you show is another excellent example of that.

And thanks!

When I say other modelers may disagree with my mapping philosophy I meant the modeling community at large not just here at the forums. The single map limit forces everyone here to resize parts at least a little.

[Boof69]

Here are some screenies......

[Madratter]

Oh yeah. It won't be too long now. And it still looks awesome in RF6. I hate to admit it, but I don't know how you made screenshot 4.

In a 3d field, change modes by hitting Q, then W,A,S, and D to navigate. Move your mouse to the rotate camera around.

The model isn't moving in any of my shots. It's frozen right where I want it.
Add this file to your scripts folder. Now whenever you wish hit the B&N keys and the model will lock position and orientation where ever it is. Then move to the models location. A quick way to jump to it's location is to press ctrl+e, then WASD to move into the precise position you want. Then use shift+PgUp/PgDn to move the sun up or down and shift+home/end to rotate the sun to give more dramatic lighting.

Just for the heck of it this is how the cockpit cam will work. Just cycle through the pics to see what I mean.

nice plane

[Boof69]

Thanks man. I'm kinda stalled on it right now but I plan on getting it done later in the week.

[Boof69]

This model is finished and ready to go, but I will not release it until Flex is dealt with. If he never gets dealt with then I will stop posting. Not because of Flexible but because of the neglect KE shows to these forums and swap pages. I guess this is just a one sided relationship.

[Boof69]

This model is POSTED!

[jeffpn]

Great!

[Boof69]

Really? Your glad huh? Tell me how she flies.
