i made a little something

Postby Moach » Fri Mar 03, 2006 11:34 am

i had this idea for a flying car design a long time ago, but only now i thought i would be able to make it in 3DS Max...

i'm not sure if i'll be able to put it to fly in FS because the flight dynamics would require it to take off as a helicopter and fly like a plane...


here's a pic:

Lovely work Moach ;) The FDs could be tricky, why not set the UC (even though there isn't any) sufficiently high that the "car" can't land but appears to float?

It can be done, and then just leave off any "touchdown" effects so it would never kick up any dust on landing...

Moach,

I've done some damn-near VTOL FDs, a couple of which are on this site. It you want me to have a go, I'd be more than happy.

Im sure you can stumble across a Harrier air.file and equip it to your model etc. Nice render :)
