Although I am addicted to my Microsoft flight sim 2002, I am not a computer guy, I am a paper/pencil illustrator and designer. Most of my time is being spent doing watercolor illustrations for my childrens book, but I am also an incurable aviation freak and would like to see some of my aircraft designs (both conventional and fantasy) flying about the virtual sim skies at some point. Can computer aircraft designers work from accurate three-view drawings? Do the software designers often collaborate with an illustrator/designer. I am unfamiliar with the process of sim airplane design. Several examples of my aircraft can be viewed at this photo-host site http://community.webshots.com/user/Bigfun1300
The "Neptoon" conceptual monoplane and the retro, tractor gyroplane are two example of my rough pencil design. Also, for a bit of fantasy, there is the "Fishblimp" from my book. Any interest out there in this kind of thing?
