Looks rather interesting...Will it have a VC?

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.

Now that looks beautiful! The shape looks very accurate...This should be good...But being me stupid me, I'm gonna wait till the actual 787 flies until I download it

Good to hear about the VC...

Didn't they fly it yesterday for the first time commercialy into Australia??? 

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.

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...

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.

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.

Hey, here are some pics that show a few suggestions that I have (I don't have a 787 for my FS9 yet, and I want a good one =p).
Plus, I know you aren't completely finished, but I want to make sure that if I buy the payware version that I get a fricken sweet one ^^. (Don't forget, I've never made something with G-Max before, so you're always gonna be ahead of me.)

The model looks fantastic Rev.

But if I'm honest. Going down both the freeware and payware route is wrong (in my opinion).

If you do make a high quality model, and even release it as freeware, even with a few extra perks. I doubt many people would justify making a purchase for something that is only marginally better than the freeware version.

Plus, about releasing the paintkit to only the payware purchasers. Surely you want as many paints as you can get to make your model popular? Letting some of the many talented painters out there do it for you is probably a much better idea that restricting it to only the people who bought it.

If I was you (however, I'm not) I would release the model either as payware or freeware, not both. And also (although it does look good) this is only your first model, so there may be some hiccups along the way, doing a project such as this and releasing it as freeware you will gain a few crucial skills that you could incorporate into your next payware product, that way your payware product would be superior due to your previous experience with your freeware one 

And in all honesty, people will be much more willing to give you help on a freeware project than a payware one 

I haven't decided about free- or payware, yet, but have got some results with the other problem.

Thank you Alex very much. I scanned some other drawings from FlugRevue and used them as backdrops.
You're right - I need to overwork the nose!
But there's also some other thing with the tail that lets my brain work....



As you can see, I always used the boeing's version. (blue lines on top of right drawing is fuselage).
Should I keep refering to the left tail version or the right one?

So it was correct to shape the rear fuse half with the left pictures?! good-good...

For the interior there are enough photos or computer-modelled images out everywhere.
And there will come more - the only existing interior things by now are mock-ups, not built-in in a 787 yet.

But the most important news for today:

Quote:

Would the interior be like the real 787?
Also, will the 787 interior have effects like tray tables, walking around,etc compatible be with FSX?   Because the Meljet 777 for FSX does not have that feature.

Well now, I completely overworked the fuselage in Y-shape, which you can see below.
The vertices should sit perfect now, but if you see something, please tell me. 
Tomorrow I'll then overwork the X-shape (top-view) which also needs some more work.

I added some basepaint to it, know it looks ugly but it helps seeing some special details (i believe so).
Please don't care of the pixel errors, I made this within 2 minutes....  and it was only wrapped as this works the fastest... 
Of course not the final way to texture it...



best,
rev

This is looking good so far. If you need a repainter I will be happy to help.

Is there any possibility to have enough painters? 

Neither nor!  FSDS.

A prospos, I wanted to tell you I can't work on it anymore this year, because of I get a new computer with Christmas, and it takes so much time to organize all files on my harddrives for their next life! 

But I heard there're some free dreamliners out at I think it was FSDome or something like that.
Why don't try them till this one comes out? 

best,
rev
