Modding Planes into the Game

[hawkeyeluke13]

With all of us whining and sometimes crying  about planes, ships, boats, tanks,  vehicles, and other things ; why dont we find a way for us to build em, I mean, alot of us have smarts and are computer savy and could help,  we could build the package up and then present it to HT. The presentation would  be why is it needed, when did it serve, did it serve in actual numbers, service history,  specs on the plane, and why we should have it. Just a thought

Any body want to enter their 2 cents

Just about everyone can get this information, which is quite easy to obtain, the problem is the modeling part - which HTC does to insure its correct thus is why nobody outside HTC does it.

It has been brought up before and HTC's answer was "No, there are too many specific things that need to be done to the point that it would take HTC about as long to validate an outsourced airplane as it would have to just have done it themselves."

take a wild guess how much the software costs.  hint: it's not 2 cents.

Just wondering, I think it would a good idea so people would do it them seleves and present it, instead of all that work HTC has to do, but i guess yall are right

last I heard and I maybe wrong but the software cost about 7 or 8k.

I hear ya, i was just thinking we might have some modders and or computer writers, coders, and such that might be able to help us

well as for the actual physical model, a good plane can be created in 3DSM, Blender, MS3D, etc. Now if that model could be converted to a game friendly format then modified by HTC, it could save them SOME trouble. for example someone creates a P-61.
Next if they set the meshes to the correct names:
Fuselage, Cockpit, Engine 1, Engine 2 etc.

Well then HTC could convert, animate, etc couldnt they? Just my 2c. then again I'm more a level designer lmao.

i am gonna use paint to make a drawing and ask htc to turn it into a Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso.
