Awesome! Am looking forward to that :)

Alrighty, another incremental update. * added detail to RCS thrusters (I did this manually before realising what noz meant by using cutters!) * added sinonatrix heat sync objects * replaced hanger door with templated airlock * smoothed cockpit All changes pushed up to github: https://github.com/BobT...

Ok, I concede, that looks pretty nice. Smooth it is :)

Also:
* my greeble for the sensor package is a bit poor - if you have any suggestions/images etc... then I would be happy to swap those out
* thats a huge thruster you have put there on the side... gonna give the pilot whiplash!! :)

Back on 2.82a :-/ Im sill running High Sierra so could be related to that. Apple no longer support my model so Im stuck on this version forever (unless I want to start hacking...).

So cockpit angular windows. This is what I had in mind:

Well this is interesting.... Blender 2.82a had a weird issue on my Mac where it would regularly consume 60ish GB of RAM. It would run dog slow then eventually I would run out of Swap and have to force kill Blender. I have just upgraded to Blender 2.83.2 and as soon as I open my block.blend my Mac lo...

I could record myself doing the landing gear, to show the process, if that helps.

I actually think that would be an awesome resource for other contributors like me who don't have a firm grasp of Blender/3d modelling.

Thanks for the input Noz - impressed you were able go through that investigation so quickly!! RCS thusters: * I like that additional detail - will add * I can reduce the node count Engines: * complete fluke that the size of any the thrusters matched your templates - it was all done by "meh, see...

Another minor update. * have added RCS thrusters * cleaned up the cockpit * remodelled the ventral thrusters * remodelled the sensor module I still need to do some more tidying up but I think I am there with the general design. At this point before I go any further, if anyone wants to comment on how...

The modified gear look better to me at that scale - tho Im always impressed by how spindly landing gear looks on airliners and they seem to cope just fine... The animation is really nice and feels believable.

This is looking really nice!! Im liking the direction of the greebling on the front - something I'd like to adopt for my future projects. Criticisms: - Im not sure I like the brake lights at the rear, they kinda remind me of my old Ford Escort! /:) The style doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the ...
