Do you think you're the only one I would say this ? do you really think is the first time I said this ?
do you have any idea how many I seen with failure airplanes?

No it wasn't for you ,and If was going to tell you I'll tell you in your post no other one post ,
Modeling and 3dmax goes together in this, and I already Told you , I don't repeat things ,I'm old but not that old 

I would encourage you to calm down

Wrong.. at least for me ,and that's why I keep like 12 abandon models that one day I might finish them one day and release

those were different time Ethan ,that First Citation X that piece of crap you see there ,believe it or not was once the most download it airplanes in 2004 ,today is different ,wayy different ,in that past you could make a cylinder and shape it ahnd if it looks like a f-22 or a harriet you put a 2d panel and that's it
today the model has to be very accurate to real airplane

I'm not saying no ,yes Its important the modeling Yes

BUT

  modeling using the less poligon countdown ,we have to make magic to make something looks good and fly well ..
I'm not good at skills ,maybe you better than me ,but your following a road were at the end the chopper won't be able to run in FSX
I'm willing to help you if you want ,you need to calm down ,this is just a pick of the iceberg ,I'm still a learner after all these years ,I learn because others tough me like Milton Shupe or Bill Leaming ..
there' a lot more like XML programing ,making XML parts , gauges, painting ,specular +bumping ,animations , and above all to make it run in FSX/FS9 without problems and smooth 

This s a wonderful hobby Ethan ,but very stressful ,I have become mad hundreds of times and I still do ,I wasn't offending you ,believe me there are still who are making and exelent model and they still don't know what is to export ,I seen it many times

your 43  I'm 45


don't take too much of that co0ffe

and I got the feeling I will help you with the rest ,

trust me ,when I read you ,I saw myself ,was like looking myself in a mirror, I really understand you Ethan and more than you think,

now try to focus from today in the animation and export ,you need to exports all the parts FIRST into FSX

for what I think the choopers doesn't need too many animations as the airplanes with wing flex animation and spoilers and flaps , in choopers would be Both Rotors the throttle which will twist  both blades , the doors,tires wheel and landing mechanism (I don't know too much about helicopters)         

I still got a copy of what you send me ,First center and turn in Top view window in the way the transparent helicoper is

like this



second lets export all this into a new thread Ethan Open a thread asking about animation etc then I will take this there ,we also want Others to see and learn 

Ok my friend let's get stated

Did you move the heli like I told you ,Push " T " and that's Top view and move the heli like I said put it where the main center grid and the main rotor is
