Are you here to play the game or are you here becasue you want SantaTech to stirr the pot one more time? I love new toys like anyone else. But, a new toy is not combat or the interactive community in the arenas.

You got a point here. But I also like new "toys".

I can knock out a plane in X Plane 9 in about 4 hours. That is modeling, weight, and balance, engine design, and cockpit design. however Ive got to think that x plane 9 makes it a lot easier to model something seems how most of the physics is done automatically lol. The basic shape is definately the easy part. once your done with that you can start crunching the numbers and making the dam thing flyable.  :airplane:

Id imagine its faster now than 10 years ago. The tools have probably improved. Plus you dont know how many other projects unrelated to AH they may have going.

Actually the tools to create meshes have not changed a lot in the last 20 years. But the detail put into a shape/mesh has changed drastically.

I'd love to know what your target poly count was 10 years ago as opposed to now lol

The last time I remember reading a thread like this the name of the program used to create the aircraft was mentioned. It was not freeware (Blender) or shareware flight simulator related or even one of the more popular like 3D Studio or autocad.

HTC still uses PCPaint to create the textures ;)
EDIT: Nothing like re-implementing BSAVE loaders 30 years later ;)
