Hi all!!!

I´m working on an F27 in Gmax, just thought i´d show this to the rest of the world.  8)
The F27 is a twin turboprop (RR dart 6/7), built in the Netherlands by Fokker from the late 50´s until the mid 80's. Supposedly it is still the best selling twin turboprop to date.

Right now in FS2k2, i´m using the panel and air file from the YS11 by the AFG, together with the superb dart engine sound package also obtained from AFG (that Dart sound is goose-bump stuff  ), all of which are rather close to the Fokker.

As you can see, a lot of work still to be done  , such as the props, texturing and getting the polycount down  . This being my first aircraft in Gmax after the Stupid Idiots Tutorial, most of my time is spent finding out how to get things done. But it´s giving me so much fun and satisfaction to see a half winged plane flying around in FS2k2 and knowing that I made that...
Thanks to much help from the people on different forums this will eventually be a fine F27 that can be used to please many simmers...

Hope the picture shows... (also a first timer  )

grtz Willem

Really nice.

Hello all!
Still hard at work on my F27. 

A lot of work is going into the bits that can hardly be seen (pivot points nightmares...) but the wing flight controls have been done now. I even animated the balance tabs on the ailerons, however i think i will remove those anims. I suspect very few people will even notice them  .

Check out these pics. 




And this landing was completed more or less successfully  .


Things left to do are the props and tail flight controls. And the wing/fuselage fairings as well, i´m still contemplating on my approach on that. Any suggestions are welcomed !  .

grtz
Willem.
