New Aircraft

[Willem2]

Hi stmsoccer,

Have a look at this link post 39, http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=47364 I made some maps
to be used for that purpose.
Instructions on the page as well as in the config file.

Cheers,

Bill.

The Catalinas, two versions are now available, by default the wheels are down, and they land on the ground. To land on water, you would need to set the track height differently from other water craft, like the Sunderland, it needs to be set below the water.

The wheels do not automatically retract, they use the B key and the floats retract with the V key.

A quirk of the DLS approval process: The aircraft and then the dependencies were uploaded at the same time, usually the processing takes place about every four hours I think.

Unfortunately Auran has the habit of not selecting all uploads for processing at once, it did the aircraft but not the dependencies. The dependencies arrived on the DLS about 6 hours after the aircraft, from a later processing. Sorry for those who could nto get the dependencies on time, I will have to make sure I upload dependencies before the actual model in future.

Scott, a session results when you place a traincar on a map - it does not have to have an actual AI operation set up, to be a session.

The session for the carrier is not set up with AI for automatic driving. It is set up with aircraft and the trigger set to the correct numbers to demonstrate those setting and animations. You need to manually fly the planes as Craig mentions. After all, being able to manually control the aircraft is what it is all about, supported by other AI operations if you wish.

I have made the Swiss FA-18s into static models, and sent them to Patricia for testing, not uploaded yet. The Swiss use the standard Hornet, I still have to make the Super Hornet static models. I was hoping to so some more passengers aircraft before that, thought someone asked for a 767 but perhaps I was dreaming. :hehe:

stm, I did a tutorial on how to use Google earth to make baseboard tiles for laying out a route, it is not a ground texture.

Don't worry Ian, you're not dreaming.

And stmsoccer, I used the 240m Basemap Kit located on this page: http://www.widjabostudios.com/locoworks.php

It is a bit tricky to use but it all pays off because you'll have one realistic looking route.

Hello

Airbus :

[Est-ce que ce serait aussi possible de faire également des version statique !
It would be also possible to make also static version!

Hello all,
Patricia, unfortunately I wouldn't know where to start in making a static model, but here is my progress so far with the Swiss A380:



I think it's been a while since these three have meet!:hehe:




I bet a 767 would look good in the Qantas livery (hint!) :hehe:

I beleive somebody also asked for a blackhawk

If you do do one, will you do a Navy and Army one??
NZMS Very Very Good, attractive

Nice work NZMS, here is a link to the type of Aircraft Qantas are buying for regional Australia. They have 21 of these now and 21 earlier/smaller ones as well plus more advanced/updated version are on order.

http://www.q400nextgen.com/q400/en/home.jsp

I have sent an email to Ian about these before and they are on his to do list so one day it will happen. Until then I just keep flying my Qantas Gulfstream around, the passengers do not seem to mind :hehe:

Thanks Craig,

Air New Zealand curently operate the Q300 (the earlier one) on their domestic routes (the ones operated by Air Nelson). Air Nelson were considering buying the Q400 but Air NZ put a stop to it becuase they could outrun the slower ATR-72s run by Mount Cook Airlines (Whom are another Air NZ domestic subsidarary) on the routes they operated.

I do like the look of them though! Can't wait for them!

Do you mean McDonnell Douglas DC-10? I thought McDonald's would be too busy in the fast food industry to make a plane!

personaly i think mcdonalds should be makeing planes instead of fast food that obeseness is killing people
thanks for the spelling correction

Update,

A few more portals to add for trains and aircraft, need to finish laying track at Palmerston North yard. Hope to upload to the DLS latter this week.

Gordon

Edit: uploading map 73.90MB, not fully completed but it's time to learn transdem and do this properly, if you down load it and the session let me know what you think.

Hi Guys.

I understand that it isn't set up for automatic AI operation.
But what I mean by "it doesn't work" (sorry for not elaborating earlier) is that no planes are placed on the carrier and no triggers are set with numbers. I downloaded the Carrier route, session and all required dependencies, but upon entering the session, no planes could be located and no triggers were set.

Any help appreciated
I'm just going in to see whether setting the session as a "Favourite" will make any difference...

EDIT: Turns out I hadn't downloaded something, and downloading it gave me everything I needed.
Happy Planezing,
Scott.

G'day! :wave:

Vulcan, you absoulutely have to make the Airbus A340-600. The biggest airliner in Airbus's fleet. (Length) It is an aircraft that is full of epic win! I found some specifications on the internet.

A340-600 Specs:

Engines:

A340-600 - Four 249kN (56,000lb) Rolls-Royce Trent 556 turbofansSpeed:

Typical cruising speed Mach 0.83 [/font][/font]

Weight:

A340-600 - Operating empty 177,000kg (390,220lb), max takeoff 365,000kg (804,675lb)

Wing span 63.70m (208ft 11in), length 75.30m (247ft in), height 17.80m (58ft 5in). Wing area 437.0m2 (4704sq ft).

Except for one little error: The A340-600 has a 2-axle/4-wheel oleo behind the rear landing gear as this aircraft is so big.

Cheers!

Jake.

Thanks for the ideas and links, the list is getting to be a bit long now. How about some of you learn gmax too? :hehe:

Scott, I don't have any idea why the aircraft do not appear in your session, sorry.

767-400:

Ian

 

[H222]

Wouldn't be as good as yours Ian
Just reskinned my first sign today, aircraft next week:hehe:
Ian, you have to make a Fedex, DHL and Boeing One

I don't mean too be demanding, but your our Planes dude:hehe:

And one more Military plane
Can you guess what it is??

Jamie
PS 767's are in AlItalia too, your friend would be happy with that

 

[marinemania]

I sorry but that looks more like Boeing 767-300ER than a 400ER because there is something your missing I'm just use delta as an example because I think it might be easier to see the difference using the same airlines color scheme
-Boeing 767-300ER

there are 2 over wing emergency exits

Boeing 767-400ER

there is and entry door in front of the wing, and an rear wing emergency exit

 

[ShadyCadence]

NOT a request, just an idea

I'm no gimme pig, but there's something I would like I haven't found yet.

A float plane. Single engine prop, like a Beaver or Cessna 185.
Does one exist, or should I pound my head against my cube in Blender, hoping it turns into one?
