Re: [Flightgear-devel] QuickSilver MX - anyone making this?

If not, I would like to combine learning to make 3d models in Turbocad with learning to make an aircraft for Flight Gear. The MX is a very simple aircraft, with no instruments, and only a lever for throttle, and a joystick for rudder/elevator. The ones that I flew in the early 80's didn't even have brakes. Don I was mucking about with a flexwing design for a while. I did think of doing a Quicksilver but I decided against it because I like 'navigable' aircraft ;-) It'd be really good to have a fairly detailed aircraft like the Quicksilver with an 'ultra-open' cockpit to check out the scenery that we are starting to build. I also wondered about trying to simulate a BRS system that you see on many Quicksilvers but I'm not sure if the FDMs would support such a thing. Look forward to seeing it :-) Dave Martin ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

Look forward to seeing it :-) Dave, Thanks for the encouragement. It will take me some time, as I have a lot of learning to do. I have found information on how to get a model into Flight Gear, once it is made, but not too much success yet in finding info on how to actually make the model. At the moment, I am working on the assumption that I will find a way to convert the Turbocad format to Flight Gear format. Don __ Do you Yahoo!?
