Have you people visited the Aircraft design forum lately?

If so, take a look at these pics I made on my progress with the mercedes.

If you never did visit the other forum, then I'll tell you this.

Project Mercedes is the GMAX construction of the German car formally known as the Mercedes SL600. It took me a hell of a long time to get this far.

But before that, I was at the point of sending this project to the scrapyard. But a change of heart has forced me to send it to the recycle yard instead.

What will this model have when finished?

It will have literally everything.

1. Movable steering wheel, Accelerator, clutch pedal and brake pedal.
2. Steerable front wheels
3. Active suspension on all four wheels
4. reflective textures on the surface, windows, and side and rear view mirrors.
5. Highly detailed interior
6. Animated doors, trunk, hood, and EVEN the side windows as well. You heard me right.
7. And lots more.

This project will be the first big undertaking of all time for me. I will be real busy on this model, especially the interior.

But this will not be the only car project I have in store for you people. I am also planning on make a '79 Corvette Stingray II when I'm done.

Ok, now for the pics.









It's not yet finished as you can see. When done, I'll start on the Corvette.

What other cars do you people want me to make?

I'm getting rather good at it.

Note: My first model will be somewhat of a Frame-rate eater.

nice pics and model. My little list:

BMW Z8
BMW X-5
Mustang - any year is fine
Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, or military Jeep
Explorer Sport Trac (can get some photo-real textures, sounds, pics etc of this.... )

You know, it would be kind of neat if you could link the CD player to Windows Media Player, that way you could listen to music while driving...

I don't like that tone.

Many flight sim users who have cars (the controlable kind) don't really use them a lot on roads. The roads are bumpy anyways.

Instead, a lot of flight sim users drive these cars around on the tarmac or along the runways (where the surface is concrete and smooth). Besides, most of the details are in the airports themselves, and all aircraft start in an airport.

I have been putting forth a lot of work on this model. I have spent months trying to prepare this model and to get it to be how it is now.

I am already planning on making 2 versions of this car.

1. A clean model that will not have a DVC and will only have a few animated parts. This will reduce the strain on Low-end PCs.

2. A full model that will have litterally everything on it. This is for High-end PCs only, due to its high poly count for its outer surface and detailed interior.

What in the world does GTA3 and GTA:VC mean?

How many of you are even aware of the Bricklin SV-1 ?

.......now that would be a nice addition to anything......and it was out before John DeLoreans 88 mph wonder.........

Is this for FS? Cars in flight simulater tend not to handle well due to the way they set up the terrain, they crash easily over bumps. I do love to take that Mercades that was posted a week ago and do doughnuts at down the Vegas strip or launch it off the ArrCab carriers.  Actually, that's how they test the steam catapults in real life, by launching old cars off them.

That would be awesome!  You could have a 1971 Hemi-Cuda vs. a 69 Chevelle SS!  Or even better, a Boss 429 vs. an F/A-18 Hornet!

Hmm, a souped-up car vs. an F-18 Hornet. 8)

Now that will be a sight to see.
