p.s. enzo interior on previous page

Looks great, nice modelling, lots of work gone into it.

if you need some pics of the engine, or the doors (how they open). . .let me know. . .

kind of dissapointed that i couldn't get any pictures of a ferrari this weekend. . .will keep an eye out though

p.s. remember on the wheels of the enzo it is a very unique "1 lug" setup

Hey Bman, can you find a single pic that can give me a considerable view of the rear interior? I need to know how the back wall [the one that separates the engine from the seats] looks like. Right now, one of the engine pics of the Ferrari is giving me a slight clue.

As for the Porsche, I use to have posted a screenshot of the car not so long ago on this thread on the first. For some reason, it got taken out. It was a sceenie of the Porsche that shows it's relative size to the jetliner that you see on the 3rd posted message. I'll post another one in case it can't be retrieved.

Here it is.

This is the updated model. I have added the animations on the door and on the wheels.



I seem to have run into a problem here. And this is an in-game problem.

Whenever I switch to virtual cockpit, the interior model seems to be somewhat burried into the ground. I have set referance datum to 0,0,0 (Y,X,Z axis) and the eyepoint to 0,1,3 in the Aircraft.cfg file. The reference datum has been set in Gmax using the Contacts maxscript that I have downloaded.

I tried moving the interior model to a higher position in Gmax, but in the simulator the model still seems to be in its original location.

Can someone give me a helping hand on this issue?

Also, I have already set up the wheels so that the Stock Animations are only used [the kind that doesn't require key-frames]. I am using the tags c/l/r_tire_slow and c/l/r_tire_blurred. However, only the blurred tags seem to work while the slow tags don't seem to function. As a result, a blurred tire is rotating inside a slow, non-functional tire.

Can someone give me a refreshing answer on that?

EDIT: Pardon the wide image size. I have a widescreen monitor. Rresolution: 1280x800x32

I assumed that my screenies were removed simply because they were too big.

So, I have this nice screenie of my updated Porsche that is signifigantly smaller [about 25kb].

As you can see, I have been fiddling around with the contacts and I have aligned the navigation lights with the contacts in order to see the true locations of each contact.



This was only taken while I was in slew mode. After I deactivated the slew mode, the whole model just went bazzirk [as in flying wildly around the sky].

I have the engine COMPLETELY OFF, station loads ELIMINATED except the pilot's weight, I checked reduced engine performance to nothing, and I have increased the cars weight to that of a 747. I did all that just so that the darn car wouldn't go out of control again.

But regardless, the model just spins, flips, and flies wildly as if the specs weren't changed at all. And the contacts [as you can see in the pic] are in perfect posistion. What is causing alll this mayhem? Obviously, I have completely overlooked something. I even dampened the wheels in the [contacts] section to 1.0 value.

And as a side note, the visual model doesn't want to get any bigger [no matter what I do in Gmax]. You can tell that it's too small by looking at the pic. Also, the visual model doesn't appear on the "Select Aircraft" display wiindow [The name appears, but not the model].

Am I going completely losing my mind here?

I must have struck gold.

On my way to the base library [where I now connect to the internet], I have stumbled upon a Porsche that is nicely parked close by. And it's for sale. Even though I'm unable to buy it, I can finally get some really good photos of the car. I'll see if I can contact the owner so that I can record sounds for the project [if I had digital sound recorder though]. It's not the exact same model as the one I'm working on, but it's close.

About my current project. I managed to properly scale the Porsche so that it is at its supposed size in relation to any aircraft. In Gmax, as I was looking deep into the visual model, I have realized that one of the objects still had a Meshsmooth Modifier that has not been collapsed yet. I looked at the rest of the model and everything else was fine. So, by collapsing that one object, not only have I been able to scale the mdl more properly, but I also got the mdl to show up in the preview window in the Select Aircraft screen.

very nice!!!! how is the ferrari comming?? cant wait for both of them!!
