Lockheed P-2V7 Fire Bombers?

Well I am back and have been working on getting a working VC in FSX and have run in to a little problem I keep getting this msg. when exporting (WARNING: Index buffer exceeds maximum size) have I hit the export limet?
 
Does the model export ok? If you get warnings about texture vertices exceeding 65K then you have a problem, but if not...

I didn't check if the model exported ok on the last export try, I am at work now so I will check when I get home.

Thank You

Bill, I got to apologize to you and everyone else involved in the project. What it boils down to is time. Especially free time. Of which I don't have much to spare while trying to get things done around home and my family. What free time I do have seems to be things other than flight simulator for the time being. Hopefully (I'm being sarcastic) things slow a little this winter to where I'll have some time off so I can get back involved.

I hope everyone understands. Again, my apology.

Good luck with your endeavors. It's really taking shape!

I am with you on the free time, I could have had these models done by now if I didn't have too many projects going on. Thank you and if you get some time I would like to see what you have done for the panel lines.

I have a little update but not a good one, it seems that my flight sim has stop working and I am having some computer problems at this moment. I am trying to fix and get stuff working but not going to well so Iwill be doing a complete computer reload and upgrade to Windows 7. Everythingwas working one day and the next things started to go downhill, I will get theproject back up and running as soon as I get everything working on thecomputer. Thank you for all your patients and hanging in there I will get thisdone with 3D gauges and all the works it is just taking me a little longer thenit should and the computer is not making thing any easier.

Thank You

Bill

You can thank then-Secy of Defense McNamara for mucking things up simply because he was unaware that the Navy's TFX and the USAF's F-111B were the same bird. :sleep:

Looking great guys. I have a P2V-5 sitting at Fox Air Tanker Base if you need some external shots I would be more than happy to get them for you since I work over there. Keep up the great work.

Any photos would be helpful but I realy need some good cockpit photo at this time for gauge work. Thank you Matt.

I am knocking out one gauge at a time and getting the animations right, here is what I have at the moment.View attachment 47806

I am having some problems with the external view as it is not showing me the parts in the cockpit, not too sure what I am doing rong it is a very complex model with lots of moving parts and just lots of parts period. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Bill

It's possibly because the parts don't yet feature in the external model's hierarchy - each cockpit part you want showing from the outside needs to be in both VC and external model.
 
Well sorry for not posting sooner but things have been very busy for me, I have some brake threws as far as learning how to edit xml code and make my custome gauges. I will post some pics soon. Hope I have not lost any of you as this project is taking so long. Learning how to build a compleet aircraft from the ground up is no easy task and I am having some growing pains along the way. Please don't loose intrest as I will have a compleat Vc soon and all I will need to do is slap some paint in there and should be good. Wounder how the flight modeling is going?
 
View attachment 48835 I have a totle of six gauges with full animation and mouse click points. I know it's not much but learning how to edit xml's so I can make custome gauges is making things take a little longer but I am understanding them much better and am able to make some good looking gauges.
