Thanks!
I've been making some flight dynamics tests... The plane flyes pretty well, though, if you make a hard landing it will scrape its nose on the ground by pitching down REALLY slowly after touchdown... Shocked

Wow, such quick progress and its coming along very nicely. The best thing about creating your own aircraft is pure artistic license in its design. With that said any ideas for a cokpit layout?

Cool

Hey! Yeah, you can believe that! But I also make the mechanics in order for them to make sense when animating. The landing gear took me about 1 day of thinking how was I going to retract and fit the wheels inside such a small space...
I haven't thought of the cockpit yet... I made some sketches in the corner of my linear algebra book, but nothing more... Grin

I do hope you will finish this one Tongue

.
But it looks great. It reminds me of a fiat 500 (the new one) Shocked

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.

LOL, wipeout is my second middle name! Grin

I love the goddamn game. Been playing it since 1999 'till today.
I actually have a few renders of wipeout ships models I made in my deviant art gallery:
http://threedmaniak.deviantart.com/

But, yeah, it kinda looks like them! Wink

And hyperpep, don't worry, I'll finish this one. I'm only moving slower because of the final exams in college.

I'm just discovering this topic !!
What a great little Sci-Fi aircraft, I love those. That exterior model is excellent, and the textures are producing a nice metallic/military impression. Do you plan to add a VC to it ?

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?
