Some time ago, I created an A310-300 model (3D-files and some liveries only) for another project. Since I really like flightgear, like to see my work in action instead of having it rotting somewhere on my HD and due to the fact that - for some reason - all of the A310-links on this website do not work any more, I thought it would be a good idea to share "my" 3D files.
I already tried to enhance the plain AC3D-files to get a simple flightgear-model, but I did no fully succeed. So... Here are my files and a request for help in one post
First: Some pictures. I really love the old Hapag Lloyd livery
As you can see, the model is quite acceptable for a first shot. On the other hand, I was/am just interested in getting some beautiful pictures, so I did not spend to much work to create a fully qualified FG-aircraft. Here´s a list of thinks wich are working and those that are not:
Finished/Usable:
- All Flaps, rudders etc are functional and react to Joystick commands
The lieveries look good
Paintkit available
There´s a FM created with Aeromatic
Very important for me: The front section really looks like an Airbus.
Engines: GE-CF6-80C2
Not ready but somehow available later or at least buggy:
- Obviously the windscreen got lost somewhere, I need to add it again
The polygon-count of the engines is too low, I´ll export a better version
Whenever I try to use the livery menue (wich was created following the FG-Howto), I get an "nasal runtime error no such member: dialog" error
The fuselage has no bolts or dirt etc while the wings and engines have
Not available:
- Most important: I don´t have a clue on how to start the engines!
Any other engine than the GE (but: might follow later)
Since I don´t have engines, I was not able to animate the fans and gears
No sound
No cockpit
So - If you could help me with the engines and menue, I would fix this. Once Everything is settled, I´d also like to provide my paintkit (vector based, created with inkscape) and the first ca. 10 liveries.
For the cockpit - well, as I said in the beginning, I´m the guy looking at aircrafts, not the pilot
But ok, if possible, I´ll continue finishing this baby. Unless some finds and reactivates the old A310-files again.
But first: Here´s the aircraft.

Minor warning: In this file, I used really big textures (4096x4096).
Have fun!
