February 26, 201511 yr Saw this in my wanderings about the web: http://sploid.gizmodo.com/first-photos-of-the-largest-airplane-ever-now-in-manufa-1688085252 Absolutely gigantic! The scale from the pictures with people is mind-boggling. John Howell Prepar3D V5, Windows 10 Pro, I7-9700K @ 4.6Ghz, EVGA GTX1080, 32GB Corsair Dominator 3200GHz, SanDisk Ultimate Pro 480GB SSD (OS), 2x Samsung 1TB 970 EVO M.2 (P3D), Corsair H80i V2 AIO Cooler, Fulcrum One Yoke, Samsung 34" 3440x1440 curved monitor, Honeycomb Bravo throttle quadrant, Thrustmaster TPR rudder pedals, Thrustmaster T1600M stick
February 26, 201511 yr wow, bigger wing span the ole Spruce Goose but the fuselage on Sprucey is still much bigger. Pretty impressive. If you ever get a chance to visit Ole Spruce Goose I highly recommend it. Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
February 27, 201511 yr And some folks still believe Bill gates was the Microsoft partner behind them producing the MS Flight simulator program all those years back. And not Paul Allen, a man with his own Aircraft museum, the exhibits of which were used as reference material for MS Flights DLC
February 27, 201511 yr Author Why don't you model it? Hah - you funny man! Way beyond my skill level. I would not even know where to start... If you ever get a chance to visit Ole Spruce Goose I highly recommend it. I did have the pleasure of visiting the Evergreen Aviation Museum and the Spruce Goose. It is immense, that's for sure, but somehow the scale of this newest endeavor seems more ... massive.

February 27, 201511 yr Way beyond my skill level. I would not even know where to start... It was also way beyond my skill level too, but I took the time to learn. Gerry Howard
February 27, 201511 yr It was also way beyond my skill level too, but I took the time to learn. Somebody wants a cookie...
February 27, 201511 yr Somebody wants a cookie... I leaned how to model aircraft because I wanted one that wasn't available. I didn't expect some one else to provide it for me. Gerry Howard
February 27, 201511 yr I did have the pleasure of visiting the Evergreen Aviation Museum and the Spruce Goose. It is immense, that's for sure, but somehow the scale of this newest endeavor seems more ... massive. And also functional whereas old Sprucey only did a short hop.

February 27, 201511 yr I leaned how to model aircraft because I wanted one that wasn't available. I didn't expect some one else to provide it for me. If you seriously think that was the intent of the OP, I have nothing further to say to you. Enjoy your cookie.
February 27, 201511 yr f you seriously think that was the intent of the OP,... The tille of the OP's thread actually says what his intent is: Let's See Someone Model This aircraft! Gerry Howard
February 27, 201511 yr It was also way beyond my skill level too, but I took the time to learn. Would love to see some pics :rolleyes:
February 27, 201511 yr This needs to be modded into Kerbal Space Program, not FS. Philip Manhart :American Flag: - "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." ~ Plato
February 28, 201511 yr The tille of the OP's thread actually says what his intent is: I agree, The OP was talking about making a model and so was Gerry. Model making can mean digital or scale modeling, either form takes skill and learning a new craft. I highly recommend model building to anyone who ever has the time. I used to model Radio Control Aircraft and the thing about that hobby is every single model aircraft I ever built inevitably crashed, so I got out of that hobby as it was no fun watching 100 hours of model building crashing into a field. Also I had to get my finger reconstructed when I nicked it with the airplane propeller and it was dangling off, they had to reattach all my tendons and rebuild it from the inside out.....oh the fun of model making Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
