Beechcraft KingAir 350

[IAHM-COL]

The new fuselage (a bit longer, 7 windows, other winglets)

No. It is not longer
I resized the model early during development to the correct 350 size.

The original model was like a 1:6 scale or something like that.
I used spec sheet size for the 350 for wingspan, height and lenght.

about Engines.
If I recall correctly, @JWocky is going to be working on them, and on the FDM.
So, I would not import the b190d engines yet. It may be loose work

@D-ECHO

The improved 3D model looks OUTSTANDING!!

@D-ECHO it looks fantastic.

Thanks!
Unfortunately the vertice count is FAR too high on this model, I already tried reducing it a bit and I'll continue merging vertices (at the beginning it was about 150 vertices per circle (one time around body))!!
[EDIT]
Just reduced the poly count of the nose from 1500 to under 500! yeah!

I found the model rendering smoothly as is.
Do you think that dimming the vertex count is a must?

I say I have not seen any FPS impact as of yet

[D-ECHO]

About the smooth: This is a comparison, left is with ~450 vertices and right with ~1200-1300 vertices

and dimming the vertex count is important 1. for people with slow internet connection, so it takes shorter to download and 2. because the FPS impact is there, especially on slow machines (also, fg will probably load faster with less vertices)

[IAHM-COL]

Sounds good

don't create a 'star point' at the tip.... any large number of vertex points at any one single spot will create a point at which the smoothing fails.

@D-ECHO

Beautiful Job.
Thanks for animating several surfaces and the gears!!
