Hi there,
I was quite excited to find the Harrier flight model. First I notice there
is not a 3D Cockpit or Aircraft Model for it. How do I go about creating
these. I am lucky enough to have 3DS max and the skills to use it.
Also what are the extra controls for the harrier - namely the nozzle swivel.
Any tips on how flightgear is used to control this beast would be gratefully
received. I had many a happy hour with AV8B - although this was more of a
game than a sim but it was still predictably tricky landing in the hover.
Cheers,
Al
Hello Al,
FG can use .3ds models but I don't know if textures are supported for this
format. I've not got the tools to create textured .3ds stuff, it's just a
geometry export option in my 3d package, so I've not been able to try it.
The A-10 and TSR2 models are still in untextured .3ds format but they have
basic animations so having a look at those and their corresponding animation
files should give you some idea of what you need to do when you make your
model.
