Hello

Here is a model that would make a good addition to the DOF flightline - an early war Vickers Gunbus. The model itself didn't take too long to build, but the project has been on hold recently - my old PC is dying and I'm currently buying parts to build a new one - and there is still much to do. Here is the basic D0 model with a rough texture in a couple of test renders in 3ds Max. I hope you like it.

Nice looking model. Claimed to be world's first operational fighter aircraft? (wiki)  ---  Anyone disagree?

Thank you for your comments everyone

I've just built a new PC and after a few weeks,  I'm glad to say that I am back and up and running now I  have configured and reinstalled 3ds Max and my other tools.

So - back to the project and I am currently working on LODs for the the model.

But now I have a question: I have to cut the model into mesh objects for importation and I am familiar with the wing subdivision of wing_in; wing_mid; and wing_out for monoplane designs, but how does this work for biplanes?

If anyone can suggest how to divide this model to follow rules for IL2, I would be very grateful

the question is, who is going to export?

Good question! I would like to learn myself (I have been reading the tutorials here and have obtained Maraz exporter) but if anyone would like to help on this please let me know

For my Alb CX I used WingL(In, Out)_D0 as upper wing and WingR(In, Out)_D0 as the lower wing.  In is to the left, Out is to the
right.  Parenting is your choice. Hope this helps.

I like the Vickers.

Thank you for your advice, Mike. I will look into it.

So far, I have created a LOD & shadow model. Work is progressing steadily. Damage caps will be next

Hows this lovely thing coming along?? Just a curious bystander who cant wait to take this out for a spin.

This will join the Be2c and Farman 4 as one of my favorites!
