@Bee
I was going to add the BV-40 to my list of aircraft I was going to build, but making the DFS 230 and doing its many variants has made me putting that one onto the list on the backburner. You never know I might get round to it.

With the low Polygon count of the glider, it would only require a LOD 1 right?

Also if anyone can help me with this. This is the trolley for the glider for take offs. When I texture it, does it go into the main map with the glider or does it have its own map and go into a seperate file?

I'm not 100% sure, but if it's visible on the D0 external model, then it's best to make it part of the main map. You'll be able to mirror the map for the wheels and those little purple struts, and this will save some space.

Great work, BTW - will be an excellent addition :)

Cheers Brandenburger.  I'd probably follow the Me163 model as a guide for jettisonable components.

I checked out the ME 163 template in the skins folder and couldn't find the jettisonable wheels anywhere in the template. Although I do have room on my DFS 230 template to add them to be textured. Guess I will have to dig into the folders to look at the ME 163 in detail to find the answer to this unique problem.

Sorry its been so long folks. A new computer, Xmas and a feeling of, should I work on my submarine or should I work on finishing my planes caused me not to do either. So New Year and new found enthusiasm (of sorts). Here's two new pictures, also an update of my first post about progress.
