Static Aircraft Library WIP

**kjb** · September 21st, 2009, 17:19

A little scenery filler...these are not exquisitely modeled aircraft. Think of them as buildings that look kinda like planes

**N2056** · September 21st, 2009, 17:25

Wow! Those look pretty good!

I've never been into statics, prefer AI, but those do look really nice, great job! :ernae:

Those look outstanding Kevin.

This came up when the AI weren't filling enough slots at KARR. I'm doing KARR for Doug Horton who writes for Computer Pilot. He owns part of a C182 there. We talked about it and I thought I would just add some static aircraft from the FSX default library. The problem was that the selection is pretty limited, so I thought I would try to make some I (or anyone else) could use anywhere. They are FS9 models that can be used with either FS9 or FSX.

They look a LOT better than the standard ones that come in the FSX library.

Fantastic work!

Buildings....I wish that all static planes looked like buildings than! Great work! Any ETA?

I would guess it should be finished in the next couple of weeks. I want to get at least a few more models/variations in. I'm trying to do things that the default AI doesn't have.

Very nicely done! Mabye you could add some of those to your KSDL scenery as well?

I agree. They look great, Kevin.

Yes, I plan on it. I'll be adding them in a separate BGL at any future airports. That way if people don't like them, they can just disable the BGL containing the static aircraft. I'm also including LODs so they'll vanish at a distance to minimize frame rate impact.

Added four Huff n Puffs...

Everything I've seen thus far is so much better than anything available as objects for placement kjb, very nice work.

We need these! Thanks for your hard work!

You've got a nice variety, and these look simple awesome compared to the default static groups in FSX! Can't wait to place these in and around my local field/next project

**kjb** · September 27th, 2009, 15:44

An update...

The first four shots are in FS9, the last one is FSX.

**heywooood** · September 27th, 2009, 15:51

those are sooo much smoother and finer than the default kjb - outstanding idea and very nice work

MCDesigns · September 27th, 2009, 15:58

Outstanding work man!!

**kjb** · September 27th, 2009, 16:08

I had to throw a couple of Ercoupes in there

***fsafranek*** · September 27th, 2009, 21:26

Thank you for the Skymaster!

**kjb** · September 29th, 2009, 06:52

I've added a few Piaggio Avantis.

Man, beautiful work kjb, what a boon to the object placement community, lol. . .nothing this good exists outside of what you've done here. Will these objects be released as a separate library, or are they only available within your sceneries?
