Could you please do a Starfly and E-Fair livery for the planes? Here's a picture of the Starfly livery.decaff_42 wrote:To those who guessed C-Series, you are CORRECT!
So far everything is scratch-made except for the engine fan blades which were taken from the 747/787 and fitted to the engine nacelle. I made ~10 different attempts to get the blades, but nothing looked right.
I've learned a few things with this project and I've had a lot of fun with different things, but the one thing that I've had the best effect with is the indent at the horizontal tail. I had tried to make a hard cut indent into the tailcone, but it didn't look right, so I multi-cut the fuselage and then scaled in a small area. It looks a lot closer to the real thing and also uses fewer vertices!

Re: Decaff's Garage
Edit:
Moar progress!
Up and Away
I'm going to try and have the fan blades be visible from behind, but when thrust reversers are engaged, they will be hidden to simulate the closing of the bypass ducting and outboard venting.
I don't know why, but the small nose coloring on the test aircraft looks cool, so I've put in a "production" version of the coloring.
Like with a lot of smaller passenger jets with this configuration, the landing gear are canted backwards when deployed.

Re: Decaff's Garage
Those windows look amazing, and the decals on the wings. This looks great.

Re: Decaff's Garage
Finally have the nose gear made up. It isn't quite right but it's close enough for me.

Re: Decaff's Garage
I have also updated the leading edge slats outboard of the engine. Now instead of tapering with the changing wing Chord, the slats have a constant chord from beginning to end.

Re: Decaff's Garage
I was tempted to just copy CHF's lights but I instead made my own version of them The circle bits are 10 vs 8 vertex circles and the light lens flare is a different taper profile with fewer vertices. Different colors and transparency values, but pretty similar.
The takeoff performance isn't where I'd like it to be. The model feels stupidly heavy so I'll have to fiddle with a few parameters. I'm not used to flying around at 200knots with 10 AoA...

Re: Decaff's Garage
Still need to do initial flights with it but I think it will work out okay!
