Hey guys I'm Back!!! I'm finally finished with all of the plays I was in (not for long), My ACT retake, and plenty of other stuff... But in the past 2 months this is what I have been working on, on and off:

A new F/A-18E Cockpit and new landing gear:
Image


As you can see, I will be adding more lag at points 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5. Very detailed (No Shit?). Thank god for Advanced > Solid Of Revolution!


Image


I honestly night redo the new landing gear because it isn't to my liking for some odd reason.


Image


This Is just one part of my map, Lecanto, which I stole the name from Florida. I started this map after I got back from Battle Creek, MI in early July and have been on and off with it. I will be posting more pictures of it later on.

Holy crap, he's back. Those look awesome, dude.

@Shutter (currently HIVEMIND....) any reason for the rather frequent name changes? I've seen you with 4 different names since this morning.

Tiger, the only thing that I suggest editing, is the top of the horizontal radar piece should be tapered at each end.

It might be a little tricky, but you can get it with a some work.

Zak, that looks better.

My suggestion is you add more polygons so it's less "blocky" looking, and get it white like the 737. That would look great!

VA's you might want to be thinking about expanding some time soon. I'm working on a long range map that may exceed the current size of the Hawaii map. Not only that, it will have navigational aids, ILS, approach procedures, airport/facility information, and airports from large to small. Not only that, but I'm also including the military stuff as well such as an air base, naval air station, naval base, carrier, targeting range, and enemy targets. The map will be released with a detailed version as well as a lite version for server or low-end use. This project is also a joint effort including work from Turbofan and Airbourne as of this time. Not gonna tell too much more as I might give the awesomeness away but here's a pic of one of the airports in-progress.

I thought you guys deserved another treat.

Again, work is not final, not even close to how I want it to look by the end. Standby for further updates in the future.

The majority of the objects I use in the entire map are TF58, Airbourne, or stock stuff. Everything else you will see will be elevation grids. I've become pretty decent at using them now.

I guess since I showed the airport anyway, if you can make them out, there are gates for aircraft of all sizes. This means that soon I will be posting more information about each major airport and allowing some VA's to take their claim or whatever. However I can figure that out I guess. That was the plan at first at least.
