Hey gang,
I'm using FG for some simulation of UAV flight and I need to present a

around and demonstrate in, preferably either NY City or Washington DC.

I only use the UV editor and it is very practical.
Is that in Blender, or a seperate program?
In blender.
First, split the main window ( right click on the window separator )
then in on window, choose the face icon,
load your .rgb file.

The face icon is in the bar that show up when you click on the leftmost icon.

You can see the carrier in FlightGear by giving the lat,lon,alt in

Or use the 3dexplorer (windows only) shareware viewer. If you
are interested
I could send you the wavefront .obj file format specs. The
carrier model is
a simple low polygon one
I could put that on my web page, no problem.

I also have built some 3ds models. It
would be nice if the web page had a 3D model repository with a little
screenshoot for each.

Yeah, but unless we put buildings everywhere, the airports will be too
easy to find. It is already easier to spot airports on the simulator
than they are in real life; let's not make it too trivial.

I'd guess that buildings and other ground stuff would probably top the

You're kidding, really? OK, I feel dumb.
I've never touched the geometry side of fgfs, so any pointers would be
appreciated. What can I use to look at this

I never made a 3D model of a plane before but AC3D looks so nice

Buildings. I can't see how any sane person could say Planes (I could be
wrong, though ;-) I like to be PIC
A man after my own heart. How about creating a small airport and jack it up
30 meters from the surrounding terrain? You'll get the same effect without
getting seasick.. :-)

Both of them. It is ugly too see an empty airport. An airport filled not
only with buildings but also with planes on ground would bring an airport
to life.
Next time you fly around look out the window. What do you see more of by
far? In fact, for great distances you may not see any aircraft.

You see aircraft three ways ...
Yes, of course. You are kind of biased, though - given what you want to do
with the sim. The scene - no matter which

Yeah, but think of it this way ... do you really think many people want
to dogfight with C172s ? I mean, it's one thing to do a highres dogfight
model of a fighter, or an aerobatic biplane ...
When did we get bullets, or collision detection? First things first.
Collision detection (with bullets) is relatively easy. And anyway,
I thought someone was implementing secondary aero bodies 8-)

Hi everyone,
I have been following this thread.
Pretty sure Objects/Geometry/saratoga.obj is a carrier
Yes, this would be cool.Definitely.

Jon, as pointed out by John, we already have an aircraft carrier. It is one
with a ski-jump and 3 arrestor wires. We use it in our design work.
