...no not watching Sasha Grey again, but another work in progress with another 3D model. Here's a Dassault Super Mystere B2 in the IAF service. It was the first trans-sonic fighter in Europe. Hey, who said the French can't build good planes?

A gorgeous AC and no mistakes!!

AB do you have an on-line library which we may peruse? Also can we 3d spin them in the style of PF 'Objects'??

I await in trepidation!!!

Thanks for getting the topic back on track. Yes I do have other models somewhere on my hard drive but no site to show them yet. When I get back home I'll see if I can make a temporary showcase of screenshots.

As for the view spin I may have to animate them so that's something to do. Not sure if this site supports video files though, Badge, m8. Better ask the Boss.

Is 3D model compatible with MS Flight Sim?

AltarBoy · Post by **AltarBoy** » Fri Nov 24, 2006 6:47 pm

I'm not quite sure. I have to check MS for their specifications for 3rd-party models. My models are high-poly which means it'll take a very powerful PC to make it flyable. Plus there's the programming for the model itself. But that's an interesting idea. I think I'll check on it since MS FS-X is on it's way.

I used the FM editor on a mates PC, but no idea whether the 3D model or skins would be adaptable from the software your'e using.
I'm sure Just Flight would take it on board.

In the last MS FS I saw a whole lot of 3rd-party add-ons so there must be some way to add models and skins, even scenery. Gonna do some digging up. I know Oleg said they use 3DS Max and have specs on the poly-count on models and other guidelines for damage models, etc. So I hope there's a site somewhere with guidelines for MS FS.
