Question about static airliners

[Stratos 3,260]

Hi!

Anyone know which static airliners do we have? and do we have the MAX available?

And templates?

Have an idea, but need to know this.

talk to Gepard, i know he's done some stuff with airliners recently on his terrains.

Wrench may have a few suprises in his hat as well, at least on the helo side

and you know i have a half million era specific markings for the flyables i've done over the years

I used static airlines in some of my terrains. They are made by JimBib.

Same here, by JimBib

707, 727, 747, 757, 767, "regional jet" (uses Russo's static Sukoi super jet as it smaller than a 737), Caravelle, DC-8, DC-9, Comet, Concord, Tri-Star, A300 series. There's also a Learjet 25

Plus if you know where to look, a DC-3 from "somebody else" (not DAT). I also have some other, made from other things.

Please note, the 707 is the -300 version, and has 2 different versions, one is PanAm the other is BOAC. They're based off the TMF 707.

A lot of these WILL be showing up in the "Espana" terrain rebuild when I get finished with it.

What I'd love to see, is more prop jobs -- DC-4/6/7 series, would love a Constellation (one of the most beautiful birds ever to grace the sky). Also, more general aviation birds; Cessnas, Pipers, wherevers. On any side of the fence.  Those of us that build terrains, have a really good sense of "what can go where" based on stock 3W airfield parking slots, and how to avoid them.

As to helicopters ... that's a tale for another day ... (for other reasons)

Do we have older 737's?

What about the MAXs? are those available?

[Wrench 10,291]

I wish we had the 737. For 1970s-to date, they're EVERYWHERE!!!

Converted static, by me,  from the Alphasim freeware Constellation. Let me know if you want the other versions.

YES!!! Those would all come in handy for something, at some time for somewhere!!! The 121 series for Southeast Asia definately. IIRC, russo's Connie is the alphasim...wonder if the textures will work? Well, downloading now

Thank you sir!!!

Ed was working on one in Coyote Aerospace, but that is of course sidelined now. it was the newer (not newest) type, so no cigar engine 100 through 300s

will look at it again soon, but i think it was gonna need some MAX fixes. all we had gotten to was the slats when it left off

[Wrench 10,291]

It'll have to be rebuilt as a static, so slats and flaps aren't needed. Thinner nacelles would be good, but for 'eye candy', it can slide. Just landing gear. Don't even need airliner livery, maybe a stripe. I've removed all such from parked statics, in keeping with the 'generic type'.

Here's the Connie at Lisbon's international. Looks perfect!!!

nooooo.... it have to be Southwest fer shore   

that said, why not a few basic airlines. Lufthansa, Pan Am, BA and Air France for Europe installs, American Airlines, United and Southwest for US. 

iirc, dude at YAP RW got serial nums on static C-17s by declaring them non moving boats. could use my decals from over the years in a similar fashion........

yes i know im just complicating things

[Wrench 10,291]

trust me, ya don't wanna go down that road. while not a difficult, even if each is in their own folder -- and this would have to be the way it's done, AND each lod would have to be uniquely named, with matching uniquely named textures, it's not really worth it. (i've already ran that road, with C-130s, and trust me on this)

Note the Caravell next to the Connie, while it "should" have Air France markings, don't. So it can be used anywheres.

Found a nice DC-4 with Radar.

ConstellationEC-121R. I renamed the textures, so that your can add both Connies to a Terrain folder, instead of making it a Groundobject.

re: DC-4

Is that John Wayne in the copilot's seat?????

Many, many thanks!!!!

I've been putting the statics directly into the terrain folder(s), but inside their own sub-folders. We've been able to do that for ???? some time ??? and it makes not only for a (slightly) cleaner more organize folder, but does allow for textures to be linked directly to a lod, even when same names are used (example are some C-130s I've using)

 

Souli: not flyable (or flying) , but a static Terrain Object. But thanks for the links!!!

opps, forgot the picture!

I'll keep him there, when I convert it.

DC-4 Default texture is TWA. There are 2 other textures.
