So I've been working on a DC-10 that @jetspeed1001 requested and it's going very well as you can see in the pictures below
I just can't get windows on it. Does it look good now or should I put windows on it
I need some help

I'm not actually sure @MemeKingsIndustriesAndMegaCorporation but I really like it. It's kind of how you do it and decide wether it's hard or easy for yourself. I find it a little challenging but that why I like it so much
Is it okay if I ask you this? Is Architecture Studies what you expected it to be? Like is it really hard or easy?
I know, I've just uploaded it tho, it's finished @chichiwerx
@Theman19 don't rush...I've been at the "Upload" step and have literally hit "Cancel" instead because there was something I remembered at the very last second, so take your time. The site will be there tomorrow...
Thanks a lot @chichiwerx I'll be posting the final product in about an hour as soon as I'm done making some tweeks to it, but thanks a lot
Be sure to put two more big cockpit windows at the back of the flight deck, it's a distinctive DC-10 feature, see here: DC-10 flight deck windows. Also, recommend you shorten the nose a little bit, the DC-10 has a stub nose...
Again, this looks really good, your best by far, can't wait to see the final product!
Hey, this looks pretty good, by the way. Yes, you need windows. Do what @Shmexypilot is telling you to do: build some windows from fuse pieces, probably .75x.75x.25 (thick), reduce your fuselage pieces by .25 smaller than what they are, put the "windows" onto the fuse where you want them, then increase your fuselage width back to the original size (.25 thicker). Your new "windows" will "submerge" a little bit into the fuselage without disappearing and will now not stick out too much. Mirror each window individually on the opposite side of the fuse when you're all done--you DO NOT have to reduce the fuselage size when you mirror to the opposite side, SP will put them in the right place, semi-submerged. Easy to do on iOS, this is the way I do it, as well, I did it here, as an example. Your challenge will be to do it for all, I dunno, 100 or so(?) windows, which may prove tedious. It will be worth the effort, though. Also, highly recommend getting rid of the "infinite fuel"...IMHO it's a cheat, plus you'll learn so much more (and have more options) when you have to place the fuel throughout your plane to adjust your CG, be sure to put it a little ahead of the CL. PLUS, SP will actually adjust your aircraft performance as the fuel burns off, just like the real thing, so I think it's actually much cooler to have fuel that burns down as you fly around. I know that I don't keep any planes that I have infinite fuel onboard, as an actual pilot I think it's a negative in this game.
Make the fuselages one block smaller, put the windows on and widen the fuselage and the windows will clip nicely without modding
Hey @chichiwerx I got the pics working, I'm on mobile tho, is there a way I can mod on mobile
And without even looking at it, you should put windows on it, otherwise it's incomplete. That's the extra effort that will get your builds noticed. Fine tuner mod may help get the windows in place...
Can't see the pictures, sorry...
Can anyone actually see the pictures
