Project Dreamliner Update (Read 4033 times)

Hello,
I recently started my project called "Project Dreamliner".
I know there are allready one or two 787s out, but I hope to make an aircraft for FS9 and X,
which has a very high quality and much detail. I'm pretty sure I'll release it both pay- AND freeware,
with differences in version and painting variety I think.
Guys who are interested in helping me with airfiling, lighting or texturing are welcome! I would of course strictly seperate the texture ressources from pay and free version. Of course if you want to help me and you'd also do for the commercial version,
we'd need to find a good contract Wink, but I'm open for all tips, critic, and every arguement  Cool Wink.

From time to time I'll show you my work - if you're interested or not! Grin

Now I'll start with a question, I need your help!

Remember, I want to get this to really good quality!
What do you think of the polygon density this fuselage has?

Please tell me if you think it is too low-poly, too high-poly or whatever you believe how it should be.
And note that this fuselage has turned smoothing of for better visibilty while designing and no window and door cut-outs , yet.

...

best,
rev

Hey Rev. Thats a good poly count for such a large tube and it looks fairly good from that perspective. Could we see a non wireframe with some smooth applied you can always take the modifier back out.

The crashes the errors the reinstalls. Gmax you are the whomb of my aircraft design. Oh Gmax my designing creating temptress. It must be love for you have taken my heartdrive. By Greg Ebnit  ...

Thanks!

Yes, I will include a VC, but need to find how I can make the gauges clickable in VC view.

Of course, I'll show you a smoothed picture in about an hour; I'm busy now.
I also just set it to non-smoothe because of I can better see which polies are wrong.

Well, the view you requested Wink

Edit:
http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/preamup02.jpg - Original file.

I just overworked the fuselage! here the new file:

...

I just saw I need to overwork the width of many segments, the top view backdrop wasn't scaled correctly.....  Sad Undecided
Thanks to god I scaled the other two ones exactly right!  Grin

Hi rev.

I'd be happy to provide the flight dynamics, if that would help. I did the FD for Moach's 737 Experience and have one on the stocks for his new 777 Experience also.

Let me know.

Great, as far as I know, the 787 Flight Dynamics are much like 777's.

Thank you very much, I'll contact you then!

best,
rev

PS: It may take a while I first have to finish FullSplash, and school is hard at the moment.
Earliest would be in Christmas vacations.

I wonder...Are there any shots of the actual 787's cockpit floating about? It would be a shame to see a fake VC...LOL... Grin

You mean like this, Ash? Google's a wonderful thing ...   Grin

Not a problem rev, take your time. I already have a rough first version: test-flying it over Washington state right now!

One question - which variant are you modelling? The -3, -8 and -9 have different specifications. (Not to mention different wings!)

Thanks.
Though the first picture looks like a fake to me (real background, computer-created Cockpit), I think I'll just refer to original Boeing pictures.
And as I have to make the exterior first, Boeing still has some time to upload more pictures of their VC. Wink

Though I can't find the version info of my 787 on my hard drive I believe it was a 787-8.
I'll google for it later.

That's good - by coincidence I decided to make the FD for the -8. It's almost complete - pretty much just needs matching to the model now.
