I cant believe it is finally in the sim. Still got alot to do yet. Had a little damage on the maiden flight (see jpg) have a bad pivot in a couple of my tires. Also the plane is shaking like Don Knotts! Its 4:44 am and I'm going to bed. Maybe I'll make that April screenshot contest y

Looking phenomenal, Greg!

But what's up with the fan blades on the engines? Do they disappear occasionally, or have you not yet included the spinners in the model?

Thanks Locke. I have'nt replaced them since the slimming down process. Been working on airfiles and trying to get the airplane off a cessna 172 airfile. Also not sure how to get annimated turbines. I'm using the default still and blur turbines but not sure if they'll be annimated by FS or if I'll have to do something extra. Also figured out why I was having trouble with the sim crashing while trying to use the 747 airfile. Realised that I had to drop the model below the grid plane in Gmax. The reason FS would generate the model with the 172 is its static CG was only 3.6'. When I tried the 747 airfile its static height was 19'.0 feet and with the height of my airplane to the top of fuselage that put My aircraft at something like 90'.0 I guess FS did'nt like that. Going to annimate and try fixing a rear bucking problem today. Being able to edit the airfile sure is nice. Currently using AirEd.

Cool

"Realised that I had to drop the model below the grid plane in Gmax. "

One could presume it's created in Gmax but that isn't necessarily so; there are other payware progs out there.
