New space shuttle or lander..

[Oz]

Ive downloaded that space shuttle thats out, but i dont like it. [Model is so-so, textures suck!] Id like to see a real nice space shuttle with a lot of realism in it (and good textures)

Another cool space related craft id like to see would be the Lunar lander used in the Apollo program. That'd be cool...

There's a desent space shuttle you can get here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/~matmoxon/downloads.htm

Well, I wanted a new space shuttle, but than I got in to this topic and downloaded the shuttle that RichieB16 said it's pretty good. the model is ok, but I didn't like these simple textures... SSSOOO I made new ones! made in no time and looks pretty good! and, ofcourse, I named it Columbia, in honor to STS-107 crew, that included Ilan Ramon, a dear man HERE in Israel. may they all R.I.P.
It's the best that i could do with this model:

Thats a real good paint scheme erez. Nice job.  

[Erez]

Than should I upload it?

[Oz]

Of course you should upload it. But check if there is some restriction or permission required to do so.

I'd like to see a nice gmax shuttle. One with opening cargo bay doors. Better yet how about a space shuttle that actually goes in space. There are a few space sim games out there that are still graphically up to date. Unfortunately none have come out in a while. I like X-Wing Alliance because it's not just shoot em up. A shuttle would be a nice touch. Too bad XWA is not gmax compatible.

Of course you should upload it. But check if there is some restriction or permission required to do so.

Just to let you know, I talked to him about repainting the shuttle when he first released it a while back and he said I could.  I never got around to it.  But, I just wanted to let you know that you shouldn't have any problem getting permission to upload it.

I just emailed him.
By the way, I would like to see the shuttle "Freedom"  from the movie "armageddon", that it far more advance from the regular shuttles, with opening crago door and fully animated in Gmax or FSDS V2...

I got the e-mail no probs of couse you can use it those new textures ar better than mine, i am currently updating both the visual model and the flight dynamics it needs to fly more like a brick than it currently does! it will have a 3d cockpit (maybe not a virtual one as i have tryed before and it didn't work) the cargo bay doors are a possibility but i have to stess it won't be Gmax cos i hate that program with a vengance. Long live FSDS.  ;D dunno how long it will take but i will post it here when she's done and ill upload it to simviation too. it will also have new rocket exhaust effects (hopefully) im just witing for payday so i can buy FSDS v.2 which will make her even better. Oh and for some reason i coulden't reply to your e-mail so i answered here instead. If ya want a space shuttle that goes into space go here:-

Thanks Matt... I also got your mail....
but if you will make a better space shuttle than think I should wait and not upload it for now. And if you want a paint and don't have time to do good ones I will be glad to help ....

[matmoxon]

Thats ok At least you asked first there are so many versions going around that are ilegal mods and re-paints. i will notify you when the new vis model is done. If you want i will use your textures in the new V.2 release she will be uploaded to simviation.com and to my site.

Hey, i played that space simulator game, its actually pretty good for a free sim. I like the Atlantis model in it, the textures are ok, but the model is quite good. Too bad i cant use it for Fs02. Well anyways, ll be lookin forward to your space shuttle matmoxon. Good luck
