I know its not even close to the real models, and it not for any game, but i thought i a did pretty good job making a 28cylinder engine with a prop.


Here's a transparency to see all the parts and pistons

This is the mock-up without fancy coloring..

And this is.....well chrome


comes complete with 28 pistons,28 piston rods, 4 piston union thingies, and an engine block(s)

Very nice exercise.....  is the prop variable pitch?  :)

Wowee!

That's spiffy!  I just wish it were applicable to FS.  Wouldn't it be fascinating to see all that stuff moving while the engines click over?

I mean, I know its possible, but would absolutely kill even a top-end machine.  Too bad . . .

hehe...

I've toyed with the idea of animating rocker valves on a rotary engine, but the fact is that when the engine is on, you wouldn't see any detail at all!

Now, the visible R-4360!....

Either way, with all our poking fun and joking, I can appreciate the work and detail that went into Falcon's engine...

Yes it is, the propellors can do a 360, but it still looks alright.

No you would want this in FS, my computer can't really animate it when it's in stick mode (like the first pic but with out the filling between the lines) let alone pasted with textures.

It only took me 14 hours i think

It looks great
Can you do oil leaks too!!!!
A comon feature of the oldies.

Nice one !

A good friend of mine builds R/C nitro engines in real, he once build a 400 ccm 18 cyl. radial engine for a customer, as far as I know. He develops engines himself, pretty cool, he has got a website, can give you the link if anyone wants....
