[HHS]

Oh- just noticed: works only fine with the newer jsbsim-files like the 747-200 cause due to the properties

Gijs I sent you the 747-400 with the FDM. did you recieve it yet?

[Gijs]

Gijs I sent you the 747-400 with the FDM. did you recieve it yet?

Yes, I mailed you back because of some problems.

[julianjackson1]

Yep, I'm at work on them now.

[Gijs]

I don't think Julian will send anything to me so I'll try to solve the problems myself. If there's anyone else wo want to help with the FDM, please contact me!

Here's a tiny little update of what I got now. I was on holiday last week, so there's not much I've done on the 747.

Done:
- All exterior stuff is modeled and textured (except from the engines and wings) now.
- NAV-Lighting.
- Thrust reversers are animated.
- Rudder and elevator animations.
- Basic tutorials from entering the plane to takeoff. But to make them work right I first need to have all (needed) switches and screens done.

To do:
- Need more working screens/instruments in cockpit and a lot of switches.
- Rest of animations (ailerons, flaps, gear).
- Animated doors
- Model (part of) the cabin to make nice screenshots from a passenger view.
- Logo- and better landinglights
- Some Nasal stuff to make all swithces work.
- Bending wings like HHS described.
- Making the reversers work really. Not only animation, but also in the FDM.

So far so good:

Beautiful pics !
Lot of tasks in your to do list: good luck !

[Gijs]

I just made my first switch in the cockpit work!! I know it's not that much, but it's a great thing for me. Now I have to continue with the more than hundrerd other switches
Wing are textured to now. Only flaps and elevators need to be textured before the whole plane is painted.

Hey Gijs,

You probably have came across this on the wiki, but incase you haven't, may find this page useful:

Hey Gijs,
how is the 747 going ?

[Gijs]

I stopped for a while.
I had a lot of animations added, but suddenly lost them all
HHS made a FDM for me, so animations are the only things to do (almost).
But I will do that probabli after my holiday (somewhere in august).
