Boeing B-797 Double Decker Flying Wing is Released!

[Lionheart]

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you all know the Boeing B-797 'Blended Wing-Body' is now released and can be downloaded here. Go to the Addons-Whats New section here at the SOH library and you should find it. If its been out a while, look under key words Boeing B-797 Lionheart.

This features a basic VC, 32bit resolution textures, (not all of them), a retracting sky-stair in the belly, 2 futuristic fuel trucks that appear 3 min's after the engines are shut down, clam shell rudders, a 'flat turning' airfile to keep passengers in outer wing seats from spilling their drinks, 3 liveries, and features the new 'FS9 Unlimited Export' system with super small switches in the VC perfectly modeled, and a giant 13 meg model file. This shatters the 65,000 polygon limit and 4MM Vertex proximity 'auto-weld' limit.

If your computer stumbles on the textures (as they are 32bit), then simply recompile with DXTBmp.exe (google that) and change their resolution to DXT-3 format.

There should be a paint kit link up tomorrow.

Happy flying,



Bill

Bill, you are a star, a gentleman and a scholar all wrapped up in the one package! :ernae:

Edit - taken it up for a quick flight from Seattle; MyTampa, Seattle, Ultimate Terrain, Zinertek Water, Flight Environment clouds etc - not a stutter on my system, ran at a solid 30+ FPS! Bill, you are a Marvel!!

All that Andy said...
A really widescreen monitor helps with something this shape
Heathrow could not find a jetway to accommodate this behemoth, so it was guested in the cargo area until they figure out how to attach to it.
Mind you there is something distinctly C-17 about that nose...



What a wild aircraft, what a wild time was had in making that "accidental" VC, splashing polys on very round objects!



Many thanks for this lovely toy, Bill.
