    @QuiteInactiveWhiteBread Yes, although some mod parts are modelled externally.

    @PlaneFlightX so you completely build it first then make it one part I think, seems way too complicated for me I’ll just continue to do the 1000part builds

    Comment 1:

    Many reference pictures from Google and my own. I've also visited like 5 cockpits (multiple 787, one 737, and one A320) in person, asked questions, and took pictures. That's moreso for the cockpit details, but for landing gear, I again do a lot of research, and the fact I'm building fictional allows me some creative liberty.

    Comment 2:

    I modelled the entire livery in a 3D modelling program called SketchUp Make, then added it to the game as one mod part.

    Comment 3:

    Just like the livery, the entire nose gear (aside from rotators and springs of course) is modelled in SketchUp Make. I actually made a video a while ago explaining the process, which you can view here.

    @MobileBuilder21 The thing with an A380 or a similarly sized plane is the detail density would be a little lower due to the performance requirements. In fact, if/when I work on my next project in a few years (it will likely be me finishing this 717), I will be able to add even more details due to the slightly smaller plane.

    About SP2, I will port the SWL-120 to SP2 myself and rebuild the mod for that game too. I do not plan to just "abandon" this plane in SP1. While the SP2 version of the SWL-120 won't be a fully SP2 plane with all the new parts, I might add a few features in SP2 if they make sense.

    @Kassap While it is a little ignorant, even if he doesn't finish it, the build videos and funky trees code will help people out in SP2 for years cause after all if he wanted to make a god tier plane then he would have just put all this stuff on something like a A-380 build.
