Let's see, where can I find a nit to pick....

Meanwhile .. It looks very nice and clean (from a visual modelling point of view)

Hmmm I'll reserve further comment until I see how accurately that "Felix the Cat" is rendered.... Wink

it's in both our best interests for Felix the Cat to be rendered properly, he's there for personal reasons....one of my childhood heros 8)

I was gonna say it looked a lot like a Pitts, a little dumbed-down. Interesting, though.

Where did you get that pilot figure? It looks really nice. I've been using one created by none other than our own Jesse Corales (hope I spelled that right!

), but I've been wanting something different so that I can experiment with different styles. If you created it yourself, would you be interested in sharing the files?

thnx man, that figure is an adaptation of the CFS3 pilot figure imported to FSDS and reworked a bit with the help of Paul Rebuffat and Gramps. they provided me with the max figure and the dxf file, i did the rest. shoot me an email and i'll send you the fsc. i think i still have the ooriginal max file around if you want it.

I generated the first model today and corrected some minor bugs, the VC and interior are still on the to do list. if the VC comes out decent enough i wont include a 2D panel with the final release.

Boy, that is a real beut. Wish my stuff would end up like that . . .

My email is locke_piotr@yahoo.com

If you have a *.gmax version, that would be preferable, but the *.fsc will work great. I can import the FSDS version, but so far there isn't an import for Max to Gmax (seems ridiculous, but oh well), so I can't use a *.max version.

Thank you much, sir!

Nice. Smooth edges. I like it from the technical standpoint of how well it's done. Wanna do a design of mine that's been kickin' around in my head for 20+ years?
