I've never modeled a jet....

[Brett_Henderson]

... but I started tinkering with this,,, And I like.. (forgive me, prop gods)

Great choice, Brett! Still lots of BAe146s flying into and out of London City and Gatwick...

Just for FSX (boo!) or FS9 too (yay!)?

Whatever platform: great start!

Oh my god!

Looks good so far. best of luck.

Sounds like we have the makings of a team here! If Brett could model in FSX and then Fr. Bill could help him down-converting to FS9, and the our resident 146 expert John could test-fly ... what possibilities. I'd be happy to input where my meagre talents might assist.

This whole idea would be VERY WELL recieved by the simpit building community, althjough the 146 is far less utilized than say the 737 NG.    

Amazingly, no one has yet approached an aircraft model with the pit builder FULLY in mind at the initial design stage.  Level D (payware) is the closest yet, to my knowledge.

best,

To convert any FSX model into FS9 ,its easy cake , I've done it before ,kill some animations ,turn dds into dtxbmp3, convert materials Flightsimx into Standard maps, Mmm! here and there and whala! FS9 model

I'll think Ill do it with Both Citations ,two versions..

[Brett_Henderson]

OK then.. we're on roll

I can assist John with putting together key press controls to facilitate simpit operation. The majority of my recent gauges have been dual function, so that they either operate by mouse click or key press.

John, can you can give me a list of functions you'd see as essential for key press operation?

Brett/Alex, I can assist with flight dynamics if required (I did the 737 Experience dynamics).

Cheers,

Every little bit helps  :)

I make it a rule to build flight dynamics around real-world geometry.. so that's where it starts. Come testing and tweaking time; the more input from experienced simmers, the better  8-)

One of the biggest problems that has been the "900 pound gorilla in the room" on the BAe 146 series is supposedly that an accurate flight model has not been achieved yet.

Yup, I can.
