It's starting to resemble an airplane..

It looks Really good Brett. Wow. You can be proud! Did you manage to get the tail animations right? It woud take a bit of thinking...I suppose. Would you be so kind to tease us with more shots...? Pretty please?

[BrandonF]

Pretty please with a flight yoke on top?

[Brett_Henderson]

Yeah.. I got the tail animations working.. The 'Rudder-vators'  are animated as regular elevators..  but they are children of tiny boxes (pictured) that are animated along the same axis as rudders. It's kinda fun to watch 





Asided from spending more time on the VC for this model, I'm also trying to keep repainters in mind, as I map it  8-)

That's a pleasant surprise! 

I'm sure it'll get a ton of use out of today's simmers!

It looks excellent overall, but I noticed one little thing in the first image.......
The landing gear appear to be sunken a fair distance into to ground, resulting in a "deflated tire" look.  :-/

I'm sure once this gets further along, the attention to detail will be unmatched however!

Finally, freeware or payware?

[Sir Puma]

That looks sweet. Wish I could do that.

You really are going to force me into using FSX aren't you?   ;)

And Brett, what is the full name for this type of airplane? I am going to add your plane to my add-ons under development list.   

It's a Beechcraft Bonanza P35

Please do, this looks just like the one I used to fly...brings back the fun days...though this looks a tad different for some reason...did they make different models of this plane, I know there was the P35 and V35...but I mean more like things like "p35 sport", V35, V35 "sport" etc...or am I just going nuts?

There are many subtle differences.. and from my research, it seems that some things,  (like empenage venting) overlap. And I'm sure, over the years there were modifications, and part swapping, as repairs were made.

The key things are over-all dimensions, and performance. In those regards, it's a P35

k...Then I guess what I had worked with was really a P-35 not the V...the two don't seem that much different in terms of size...weight I believe was more the determining factor between the two...too bad my buddy sold the nice plane, every time I went to see him id take that baby out and fly it... oh well...least this will be just as good if not better...least next to the real thing...just brings back the memories makes me wanna just go buy a new one (or used) and hop in and fly then work on it....

That's why I make airplane models for FSX
