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.

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.
