I created an Excell spreadsheet to calculate the front sizes, angles and offsets for the angle fuse parts. I have one for straight ones and one for offsets. It was that sheet that gave me the numbers to paste into the XML file. @FennVectorCWA
@DavstrWrexham yea for me i must quit simple planes ....use jota editor ...type a scale .....go to simple planes ...load the new Xml folder , findout that the scale osnt right .....then repeat the whole thing XD it may take 10 minutes to make the right scale of one object only
It required allot of maths to get the lengths and angles right, but it was worth it. I also like the cockpit view you get from this as well. @FennVectorCWA
@DavstrWrexham yea it's amazing i used to make this kind of sci-fi cockpit by using fuslages XD
Thanks. After I made the cockpit, I saved it as an assembly so I can use it again. @FennVectorCWA
Remembers me of V-wing (star wars) ...and i love that cockpit
Thanks. @rubbishcraft
