The engine unit is getting close to finish. Though there are still some minor details to be added, it already looks great. I successfully applied main animations related to the engine extension. Most challenging was a properller-stopper assembly. I wanted to make it fully working as in real thing. It is a very little detail however the final result adds a lot to the realism of the whole model. The spring in that assembly is also fully animated. It means it extends/compresses as the lever catches the "pad". I found it very hard to notice, so it is probably just for making me feel better about it :) . FPS are still very good. Just couple less then default X-Plane's ASK21. So no need to worry about over-animating. Applied animations:
Engine unit extension
Doors opening
Working Propeller-stopper
Propeller rotation
Muffler disconnecting
I started to intensively work on the finalization of the DG 1001 M . It means I work on it almost on daily basis. Goal is to deliver one nice X-mas present :). But can't promise anything yet. At least you may be looking for more often updates ;)
See you soon!
