This thread is part of another thread from the tech area, and is more of a general/FS Site topic, so I decided to move it here.Background: I am going to start porting FSD aircarft (1 a week) to SDOE, but not polish them beyond making one plane's shape look like another's. These freely usable planes will be posted in a spot on my site called 'The Lost Boyds'. Don't look for it now, it isn't there. The purpose is to give people the opportunity to work on a plane that just needs model tweaks, proper texturing, loadouts, FM/DM work, and a cockpit. Just if any one is the original creator of any of the fsd models posted on my site, email me and I'll give credit where credit is do or whatever you wish for me to do with the model (delete it, email the ORIGINAL, nothing else, to you, etc). Right now, I am moving (er, websucker is, actually) Hodge Podge (my website) into a new home (I sold my soul for 3 years to MSN, for a digital camera, Kodak 240, comes with all the cables, looks nice so far ). This translates into a possible delay in my Weds updates (maybe Thurs) since I have to get used to the new stuff. Anyways, what this is leading to, is I need a quick show of hands of which plane they want to see up at 'The Lost Boyds' first:
MC.200 (sweet)
MC.202 (semi sweet)
Cz1007 (sweet - semi sweet)
CR32 (sweet)
CR42 (semi sweet)
Betty (semi sweet)
Val (semi sweet)
betty (semi sweet)
kate (sweet)
George (can't remember, been 2 weeks)
A20 (solid nose - semi sweet)
Boston (clear nose - sweet)
Halifax (semi - sweet)
IL-2 (confused as to how porportionate it is)
Lagg 5 (Hoggin' it to myself, just ordered the signal for it )
Mig-3 (sweet, maybe semi...)
Kaga (sa-weeet!)
Battle Ship Generica (semi to sweet)
Ca13 (semi sweet) All of these are from fsd files from the net, and I can't find the owners for them (speak up, if you are!)

One per week? So it's easy for you, right  ? Would you mind documenting your progress, explaining how you're doing it.
I have loaded FSD shapes of the P-36 and the MS-406 in AC3D (and BTW the Beaufighter and the SM-79 too  ), and now I don't really know what I should do next. I guess it involves cutting the 3D model into pieces and exporting them as LODS but I'm sure you can explain in detail.
Thanks!IP: Logged |

Don't over do it Whirl. Burnout "can" happen. Just take your time and don't expect to much from yourself. As long as you do them all in moderation (not spending every waking minute on them) and have somewhat of a life besides just modeling this stuff, you'll do fine. Otherwise you may go 2 or 3 weeks full blast and then wear yourself out.I know, I've been there. IP: Logged |

Pachy:Yep, I put a post on how to do that somewhere in the general section. I should really cut and past it into a FAQ or something. I'm not much of a documentation person. Pete: That is why there hasn't been much of a Staaken update recently . I've been there in the burn-out phase before. Thanks goodness for darkstone and AOEII. IP: Logged |

Yes, don't want to 'Burn' you out but being a true blue Aussie, of course I'm going to say, seein' the Ca-13 (Boomerang right?) would be briliant!IP: Logged | |
