July 23, 200223 yr Hereby I want to announs the existance of this new porject.If I find other people that agree on my philosophy, we could create some nice jobs !! Whomever thinks I've got a point and is willing to join me, contact me !!Here goos: OpenSky (etc.) are very nice projects. They make outside view models which are eye-candy all the way. You install this plane on your PC and you use it with some 2D panel. When you're flying this plane you'll be looking upon a 2D panel that looks exactly the same as the one from, lets say, the default 737... because it IS the same panel !! So if you stay inside the cockpit, as a real PILOT is supposed to do, whats the difference between a heavy OpenSky plane and some default plane ? NONE ! Indeed. That's why I work on making a 3D cockpit and spending as little time as possible on the outside model. Most of the time, I prefer being a "virtual pilot" rather than a "virtual plane spotter". If you feel the same way and you're tired of looking upon these 2D panels all the time, and you've got Gmax in your fingers ... join me !The plan is to make as much 3D pits as possible. As I sayd with just a very simple and little animated outside model. Keep it as simple as possible so that you can spend more time and FPS on the inside view. Then work with 2D-Popup-Like-Panels so that you can access all knobs, twisters, buttons, handles, or whatever from the 3D view ! So that in the end, you'll be able to do a 100% flight from the 3D view possition !Thnx for listening and I hope to get some response here !!GreetzPhilippe Vanagt
