[huub vink]

Great work guys! I'm greedy, so like Alex I will take them both.... ;)

Cheers,

[srgalahad]

There's only one thing left to say...


Uzae_SqbmDE

[Bjoern]

Uh Oh...3622636227

Scratch that, do the 228 instead! :d

[kilo delta]

Scratch that, do the 228 instead! :d

or the 17??:icon_lol::running:

[full]

If this were a payware version I would continue with but who needs two freeware versions of the same plane....

I have many more projects in the pipeline, so its over to you Tim.

Maybe Freeware designers should have a sub-forum to post about their projects ? to stop duplicate projects from happening.

[OleBoy]

Only comment I can think of is, DOH!!!

[Roger]

Both Tim and Craig should perhaps compare notes and decide that whoever started the project second could defer to the other? I know that Craig has had the Dornier as his avatar for some time now and I know that he has been working on it for some time as seen in his TOH forum threads.

[Bjoern]

or the 17??:icon_lol::running:

The 228 is cooler. WAY cooler.




If this were a payware version I would continue with but who needs two freeware versions of the same plane....

I have many more projects in the pipeline, so its over to you Tim.

Maybe Freeware designers should have a sub-forum to post about their projects ? to stop duplicate projects from happening.

To be exact, there's yet another Do-28 in the works by a german designer. But I think she's doing it for FS9...


Then again, why not continue the project anyways if you want to.
After all, there's more than one possibility to distinguish your model from the rest...


Btw: What's the other planes you'd do?

[Piglet]

Umm.. Never been in this situation before.
I say Full should continue with his DO-28. The main thing with doing freeware is doing what you want, when you want, and how you want.
So what if some one else is making the same thing.
And I never considered plane making to be a contest or sport.
P.S.
Air America is gonna be the primary texture for my Do-28. Hence the differing antennas and stuff.

[huub vink]

You're right Tim it definitely isn't a contest. I assume you both make models because you like it. So just keep doing what you like to do. I', convinced both models will have their own dedicated fans and there will be some who love both models.

I can imagine one of the joys is to create something which not has been done before. So one small hint...... nobody is working on an early Bf109 model ;)

Cheers,
Huub

[myles]

Personally, I think that both Tim and Craig should continue with their Do-28 projects. Although they are the same aircraft type, they will be slightly different and some people may prefer Craig's while others may prefer Tim's. The appearance may be slightly different, the FDE's may differ and the fitting out may differ, depending on the research material available to each. The D0-28 is quite old now, so there will be variations in "standard" equipment in reality anyway.

If both Tim and Craig had acquired '66 Mustangs for restorations, nobody would expect one of them to stop because they learned of the other one, would they? Just think of the project in those terms and carry on - I'm sure they will both be excellent!

Myles

[Bjoern]

One of you guys could also turn his 28 into a 128 (the one with PT6s)...

Or even this:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/D-IFNT-Do28TNT-1980.jpg




And I never considered plane making to be a contest or sport.


Now that would be something...72 hours, a set of three-views and all your airplane creation tools at your disposal. Who wins...wins.




... nobody is working on an early Bf109 model ;)

Tim mentioned an early 109 a long while ago.

[Cag40Navy]

Tim & Craig, please do these models. It would be great to have 2 of these beautys. I look forward to both models of this aircraft!!

[Ferry_vO]

Would love to have either or both Sky servants!

:wiggle:

[peter12213]

definately think both should be done, they both would be great to have!!

[wbuchart]

A lot of us still live mainly in the FS9 world so I'd love to see at least one of them developed for that, and I know Craig said we was going to do an FS9 version (and a float version)...

[Stefano Zibell]

It's raining Dorniers! :icon_lol: And from two great designers! I say bring 'em!

[Railrunner130]

The main thing with doing freeware is doing what you want, when you want, and how you want. So what if some one else is making the same thing. And I never considered plane making to be a contest or sport.

Exactly! I'm glad you're thinking that way. I will gladly welcome both airplanes into my hanger.

[roger-wilco-66]

Ahhh, good news! That'll go nicely along with the AA Pilatus Porter! :applause:

Cheers,

[Thoe6969]

Uh Oh...3622636227
Don't stop on yours,keep it coming.I look forward to all your releases.

[LouP]

LOL, what's scary is I can see no Dornier's coming out of this because two class guys both back off for the other. Ughmmm, ....really uh oh... yikes!!! :wavey:

LouP

[Cag40Navy]

Please Tim and Craig, keep working on them as i want to see both of them! (As well as everybody else.)

[Ascua02]

Second that, the more the better!!
And if I get it correctly one for FS9 and Another for FSX, wonderful

Saludos :salute:

[full]

I've been thinking over the last few days and I will continue with my Do28 but at a slower pace, I'm sure Tim will complete his way before mine but that's fine, also I don't know if Tim is doing a float/medivac/utility version but I definitely will be.

[myles]

See - told you they'd be different!

:icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

Myles

[Piglet]

I'm just gonna stick to the basic config. Do-28. Maybe just do a few paint schemes. Although the floater does look wacky-cool!
There's just SO many planes I wanna build!

[Roger]

Really glad for both of you:jump::ernae:

[full]

An update on the Dornier, all exterior parts are texture mapped now for the interior parts...

[StormILM]

Nice! Very excited about this model. :applause:

[OleBoy]

The Dornier looks real good, Craig. Another nice GA twin for my hanger. I'm really looking forward to seeing (and hearing) more news of your work :)

[full]

Bump ! quite literally all day, I hope you can see it in the screenie.

49087

[OleBoy]

You sure can see the bump mapping. And the rest of the added details. Looking real nice!!

[Gibbage]

I love normal mapping! Its a tricky thing and really hard to get those fine details. Are you using Xnormal or the Nvidia tools in Photoshop? One trick I found was to put a drop shadow on the rivits and then do the normals. It gives the rivits a dimpled look, like the body skin is slightly pulling away. Keep up the good work!

[huub vink]

It looks amazing Craig I can imagine it will be very popular model as there are many who love GA aircraft. But as you might know GA aircraft aren't really my thing. Therefore I still have hope you will redo the He51 an Dewoitine 510 for FSX one day....

Cheers,
Huub

Yeah its great ! thats exactly how I do rivets as well, although I use Crazy Bump. Heres a couple more shots with some paint added this time to check the mapping is all correct.

Thanks Huub, lol I hear ya.

Which one.... the He51 or the Dewoitine....

[OleBoy]

You got it looking good Craig. From the looks of the paint lines you're using for your mapping, that should do the trick alright!!

[Roger]

Great progress Craig!:applause:

[Sundog]

This is going to be a great plane to use with all of my Orbx scenery. Love the progress shots.

[huub vink]

Thanks Huub, lol I hear ya.

Which one.... the He51 or the Dewoitine....

Craig, you should know me by know *big grin* When it comes to vintage aircraft I become a bit greedy.... :icon_lol: But dont' worry as I realise your spare time is limited and I don't want to claim too much of it, I will try to behave.

Both aircraft as very interesting. The Dewoitine is one of the best examples "in between stage" of aircraft development from the fabric covered biplanes towards the "modern" full metal modern WWII fighters.

The Heinkel is much more conventional however it does have my preference, as for me it marks the birth of the Luftwaffe.

Now enough said on this topic for now. I don't want to distract too much the attention from your latest beautfiul model.

Cheers,
Huub

October has become a vintage month for 'X. A Howard for X, just came in from checking out the Nord3500 with some ridge hopping-Sweet!; and now a Dornier Skysmasher! Mine leibchen has claimed me MIA, broke my plate, burned my chair and moved the dogs onto my side of the bed. The divorce lawyer is sending Craig a thank-you note.

[deathfromafar]

Craig, much thanks for a model that looks and flies great!

I always liked this airplane since first seeing on in the late 1970's & now I have rekindled interest in it.

Again, thank you. :salute:

One question: is there a tailwheel lock anywhere in the cockpit?
Yes there is, one of the pull-out knobs on the right side of the dash panel. Going from memory from flying it last night I think it's the yellow one.
