Hey!
So, yeah, in the last 3 months I started 4 projects in gmax... Guess what? They're all stopped.
This is somethign that has happened before to me: I open gmax to make something like a landing gear or some "15 minute" detail/fix and I just stand there looking at the plane and then I exit gmax without doing anything... Shocked

Does this also happen to the other developers out here?

This happens mostly to me when I don't find info for my (real plane replica) planes after some days of research... I stop and then I loose the will to restart...

Up is the way to go.

We all have those times. Sometimes I all of a sudden have the urge to fly a certain plane and the neeed to fly it. So I wait 5 minutes for fsx and wait for the plane to load. When it does you click on it look at it in different perspectives for about 5 minutes, Than just quit. We all have those problems. Even my pet dog had them Grin

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Was this real or a sim dog? Either way, we seem to be speaking of simulating problems.

I started a Grob Tutor project and it was going very well, with fast progression, but the nose of the aeroplane was giving me grief. I still have no idea how to visualise the design properly, and I simply cannot create the right angles and curvatures.

So that's a dead project for now... Plus, I have no idea how to develop it further once I have the model in place. Embarrassed

I occasionally suffer from that problem when sat on the toilet seat and completing the necessary process, and suddenly realising that there is insufficient toilet paper left on the roll...

I'm in the same situation with the Beech Starship's engine nacelle. Bloody tricky shape to get right from all angles. Plus, it doesn't help when your 3-view drawings don't align properly. Angry

Xpand, I'm sure you will find the inspirational spark once again, it just needs something to trigger it. I've seen your work, its brilliant and you've come to far to stop now. Just keep at it, it will be worth it in the end. Smiley

I has posted a similar topic before ,Yes It also has happened to me and Its happening now!! Shocked

but right now I will blame that "Flight" game its about to be release ,I do have 2 projects on my table , Sometimes I want to jump and resume while some others I don't even want to think about it..

there were also two updates that I wish to convert them into FSX-SDK which is the Hawker Raydeon and the 707 which the exterior its un proportional engines size and need a better works and details ..

Let just hope M$ will play for the FS community because that's another issue ,what If "Flight" its way better that FSX and all the people (the majority) jumps and leave FSX? like when FSX came out and FS9 was history ? what would it be with those recent works and the others? the old ones? , there is that Maya thing people keep talking about that 3dmax gmax will be useless, I have no idea how doers Maya works

I rather wait and see
