Check it out my first flyable aircraft! Aint she a bute. ;D Could'nt get my EA-Super600X-2 to fly yet so I decided to build a test aircraft. Hopefully it will help me sort out some issues. Thanks to Locke who is helping on my S600 and has gotten me far enough so that I could get this test aircraft flying. Expect to learn alot from this little beauty. 8) For all that could use the help what I did was create a cylinder/tapermodify/scale some verts.Then create a box for the wings/One lenth segment/ Detach each side as l_wing r_wing/ Create boxes for the l_tail r_tail/one for the vertical with 2 height segments then deatached each side as l_vertical r_vertical/ Three cylinders for l_gear r_gear c_gear/ Three cylinder for l_tire_still r_tire_still c_tire_still/ Edit clone for l_tire_blur r_tire_blur c_tire_blur/ Through in some opaque polys for windows/ Set the view to local adjust the transform gizmo for the tires (x,y,z)/ Created a dummy named exterior linked everything directly to the dummy positioned at center of wings 1/4 from the leading edge. Then I took the default cessna172sp model file out of its folder exported my model and placed it into the FS2002 default cessna172sp model folder. AND THERE YOU GO ONE TEST AIRCRAFT TO GET YOU FLYING. Should teach alot about pivots,cfg,tuning,and what is exceptable to FS.Image

PS:DO'NT FORGET TO TURN YOUR AIRCRAFT AROUND 180 OR YOU FLY BACKWARDS!
