787-9 Project

Why does it look more like an Embraer to you?
The nose gear is positioned right where Omega left it. All I did was extend the fuselage a bit. Now I'm fixing things up.
Nice job.



There's a side view.

THe nose is so long...

Which model should we use?

About the gear - it's in the right place, for the -8.

[legoboyvdlp]

The nose does look long

I don't care really, but I'd prefer to change the old one, than have to manually edit the thousands (!!!) of animations.

[MSA-S23]

No, I didn't actually do much - only thing you have to do now is the gear and wheels, and the liveries.

[legoboyvdlp]

In that case, I'll edit the wheels right now and push.
You can fly it already:

Want commit access?
If you would like to use your model, please do it in a new branch, so we can compare the two models.

I could make this livery:

[legoboyvdlp]

Hi Martien
That would be nice. However, the plane needs some work before liveries can be made, since we have to move the nose wheel bay forward, and do a new UVMAP.
I'll let you know when we're ready for liveries!
Best wishes,
Jonathan

Ha! Looks like I need to do something which hides the nosegear if you are in cockpit view. Need to cut a new gear door too...

[Martien van der P.]

Could also help with the UVmap when needed.

[legoboyvdlp]

Sure, that would be great; neither of us two know much about UV Mapping xD

[MSA-S23]

I. Have. No. Idea. How. To. Use. Github.

Can you do it?

Oh, I can't see your picture, but I assume it's...KLM?

Thanks for the UV mapping offer.

[legoboyvdlp]

Sure! I'll compare them and see...

[MSA-S23]

Ah yeah I can see that picture! I love that livery - the beautiful curve downward is pretty much the prettiest livery in the (real) skies.

[MSA-S23]

Jonathan,

When we're done here, wanna do the -10?

And the 777-8X and 9X, and A330NEO, and...etc etc etc.

[legoboyvdlp]

Certainly the -10, but I'll be leaving the 777 to the Seattle Team, I think
And probably the A330NEO will come later, when the A330NEO comes.
As for your model:
The gears aren't animating.
The 'chrome' bit at the tailcone is wrong; too far back on the x axis.
The chocks need moved.
The nosegear doors need moved.

I'm not sure, I of course vote for my model, and you for yours.

Could I call someone else in to help us? Someone?
