As long as you make a H1, Ill be happy.  I think the H2 and H3 are cheap knock-off Hummer impersonators >:(

I managed to find the perfect source of information for my project.

www.hummer.com [so simple it makes me feel stupid after searching endless through the web]

This site is flash based but it provides all the specifications, interior and exterior images, and 3-view diagrams of all three versions of the Hummer. And on top of that, they have 360* views for the interior and exterior of all three as well.

I also found this site that will be perfect for figuring out the components of the all-terrain vehicle.

And there is plenty more images out there. I think I made the right choice of modeling the Hummer. 8)

Sounds cool, im really not trying to criticize but just curious, why do you make cars for FS? I dont know if im alone here, but driving them does wear thin kinda fast(though i've never tried any of yours, i may be missing something...?) Wouldnt it be better to optimise you models (which look great btw ;)) for a game with a physics engine more suited to them??

Any interest in that challenge I posted in the other thread?


"I have a challenge for your next project. How about try your hand at a motorcycle? The dynamics should be fun to create with lean in and wheelies/stoppies. "

I don't think there have been any motorcycles since that Indian for fs2k2

I have interest in that as well. But I have too many interests and I gotta pick one. :P

Before I make the jump from cars to motorcycles, I want to make sure that I am prepared for the task. Project Hummer will be the ultimate test for me. If I can make it become the best car addon, then I will know that I am ready for the next challenge [motorcycles].

seems logical. . .

I would think the visual model would be much easier (minus the rider, you said you hand trouble with humans). The real challenge would be the vehicle dynamics

That's what scared me the most. Especially when the current sim doesn't normally like two-wheelers that don't fly. But it could be fun. Like you said before, the joystick could be used to maintain balance while the rudder is used to turn the wheel.
