747SP

[KIWI34]

Wow SOFIA comes to NZ sometimes, she stays at Christchurch and flies around antartica i believe, well there is a NASA 747 thatches down here in the summer every year, might not be Sofia but it does have a large camera up her bottom

[Octal450]

Yes, great work!

[N3266G]

Can you animate the door so people can fly with the option of having an open or closed fuselage?

[Martien van der P.]

Yes, that's exactly my plan N3266G.

More news,

Here I've a .gif image with all side views:

Now I've added the characteristic concave in the tail section and the wings. Also made a new Vstab and undercarriage. What's missing: main gear, spoilers, flaps, ailerons, and some other stuff. When that's in place I'll UV-map the 747SP.

Cockpit development has started, an EFIS cockpit for the SOFIA model and a Steam gauge one for the regular. Just like real life

[Martien van der P.]

Yes, you're right it0uchpods, SOFIA had an EFIS cockpit upgrade back in 2012. Before it had just a gauge cockpit just like all other 747SP's.

Edit: For the 747SP you could use the 747-200 cockpit model, it will fit perfect you only need to adjust some things.

[Octal450]

I could, but it is rubbish, I might use the one from the 747-400 or 747-8i and adjust it.

[Martien van der P.]

I've already looked at the 747-400 cockpit, and I think you could use components except the cockpit shell. I think we have to make a new one.

[Octal450]

Yeah.
