To get flying again, uncheck realistic boat speed. That should do it.

Ilan can, but noone else here can. I wouldn't think so anyways.

im very sorry, but I cannot help with Gmax as I've forgotten what i did with it in the past in the ways of file conversion. BUT, I could give you a suggestion for the future... 3dsMax. It costs a lot, but its not hard to find other means of getting it to work :lol: *wink* *wink* :lol:

Which came originally from HangSim, the glider sim that came before Micro-Flight. Besides, it couldnt've been too hard ass all 3 sims are based off the same engine....

Kinda, but on pics that are much more darker. I'll give an example in a few minutes. (Eating Ice Cream ) :lol:

Heres a good tip:
When posting a nighttime or dark pic on a forum with a light background and color pallette, it might be a good idea to put a thick black border around the pic to compensate for the contrast of the pic and the forum background. It will make the pic a lot easier to see. I'll post an example in a lil' bit.

The sad part is that I have to download this possibly huge program on a 56k connection!

Just delete the vs.ini file in the main vs folder. Beware tho, it will reset the resolution and may turn the joystick on. (Wether you have one or not! lol)

1. The water "problem" is not fixed within the program, but more rather the modeller of the boat. He has to define the cabin area to clear the water.
2. VS 7 will most likely be noticeably slower on most lower-end machines, but in this day and age there comes a time when you just have to bite the bullet and upgrade your machine sooner or later. Preferrably sooner...
3. In a couple of weeks is the expected release of VS 7.

For the basic model, that is not bad at all! I think your getting on an excellent start with it. Good Luck.

Got some progress from the X-Cad ppl. They've
reached the 100,000 mark. Heres th e-mail:
Hi ,
Thanks to your participation in the X-CAD 100,000 Seat Giveaway we have reached the goal of 100,000 registrations early!
Some of you may not have heard, we announced on Wednesday that Alibre is the company behind X-CAD and X-CAD is Alibre Design Xpress, the newest member of the Alibre Design product family.
As of August 1, Alibre Design Xpress will be available to all for free. But, as one of the first 100,000 to register, you're getting a little more.
For you Alibre Design Xpress will include all the features listed on the new Alibre Design Xpress site, plus:
* Advanced part modeling, which includes features like shelling, 3D sketch, reference surfaces, etc. View the Alibre Design brochure on our web site for the full part modeling feature set.
* Create and edit assemblies with up to 25 unique parts. You can open an assembly with more parts in read-only mode.
* Create 2D drawings with standard orthographic views. All drawings are fully associative: you change the model and the drawing updates.
* 3D import/export of all the standard formats Alibre Design supports, including STEP, SAT (ACIS), and IGES. DXF and DWG are supported in 2D, and STL is supported for export.
All free versions of Alibre Design Xpress require an Internet connection and will display a banner of Google ads through a built-in web page. No third-party adware is installed on your system. If your Internet connection is lost we have taken steps to ensure that you can save your work. The Internet connection requirement can be turned off for a small fee.

What's anybodys thoughts?

You are using Gmax right? Is it version 2.1? It
shouldn't matter tho. In the lower left corner
of the prog are zoom and view controls. 6
buttons total. (might be 4 in gmax) but the
lower left one should maximize\minimize the
selected view. I don't know what's wrong with
your paint app tho. So to fix that one go to
http://www.google.com and and search for
Wisdomsoft Screenhunter and the first link
will be the home page for the screen capture
program I know many ppl use. All you need
is the trial version, the full version has
nothing at all that you couldn't do better in a different program.

Here goes:
1.Go into the Gmax program and load the model.
2.Select the Perspective viewport and press Alt+W and that will maxamize the view.
3.Press the PrintScreen button on your keyboard.
4.Open Paint.
5.On the top of the paint window click on >Edit>Paste and it will paste the image into paint.
Save and then load onto the forum using add picture function when making new posts.

Don't take my word for it, but I think his problem is he already has a simple hull already done, and it has a pointed tip that he needs to round. If we had pics it'd be easier to tell tho.....

I "Might" be wrong, I use 3dsmax now, but I think if you select the point vertex and chamfer it multiple times that would do the trick. OR chamfer the vertex once about halfway inbetween the surrounding ones, and them apply a meshsmooth to it and mess with the 3 different types of smoothing options. BTW, could you show a pic of what your working with right now to get a better look?
Vs Guy

look, I didn't mean anything about the remark. I was just wondering the spelling of a word. Is that so wrong? 8)
NE ways, every e-mail I send to them, I get back an automated "We will reply soon" message.
Hope its real tho.

My eyes might be bullshitting me, but I think the landscape is far smoother then the hard-edged look of previous installments.
BTW- Charlotte, Could we get some specs of what Ilan is running, and what machines will be able to do bump mapping? (I'm hoping that the bump mapping is done entirely in DirectX.) Also, how much performance loss is associated with all these new graphical touches.
Vs Guy

A complete loss would be a shot in the heart as the site is a great asset to the VS community.

i disagree with the disagreement of #2, but theres nothing I can do about that. #4 on the other hand goes like this: I Jumped down his throat, I know, and I acknowledged this by helping in any way I could. I had no intent of leading someone away from the forum which seems to be what your suggesting, but I was broadening his options If he needed any help. Is that so wrong? I agree and disagree with the disagreement of #2. I think that I was wrong for jumping down his throat, but nontheless, he 'did' in fact post 5 times about the same topic. Thanks anyways.
Vs guy

all it takes is patience and practice. If you cannot find any of that in yourself, then you likely won't be seeing all the boats that you want made. Also, sorry for my lack of sanity, but you've created like 5 different topics about the same thing, thus moving useful threads on down into anonominity. So please understand. Thanks in advance.

1. Modellers don't do many requests. (I've never seen it happen l8ely)
2. You sure as hell littered up the forum when you made all 5 posts that were pertaining to the same thing.
3. If you want a boat modeled, then go out to http://www.discreet.com click on products, and download Gmax. A free and powerful modelling tool. Just find some tutorials on the net, and model it yourself.
4. If you have any modelling questions, e-mail me at Gu1l7y5p4rk@gmail.com and I will be happy to help as best as i can, just so I'm not throwing you to the curb. :)
