@234576739 Yes, it should work for Windows 7, but it requires the latest version of Python. Please take the time to read the script notes, and make sure you have the right version of the script for the appropriate version of Blender. (Script v3.10 is for Blender 2.49, Script v3.20 is vor Blender 2.5+.)
@danklaue That's a nice idea right there. But the nearest flight school probably is half an hpur driving from my house, but I'm too young for a license, so I'm not sure about that. I'll see what I can find, though. I also read that you can start training for a license at any age, so I think I qualify :) I will try to find a mentor, I'm pretty qctive on some local flight related forums. By the way,usually I'm not so annoying, hope I'm not annoying you with all the questions! (;
@Stickman698 It's all a bit complex... but I find it easier than learning programming. I guess I'm a more visual kind of guy.
I think it's not JUST the complexity that gets to people... there's a ton of creativity, problem-solving, artistry, etc. involved, so once you get over the complexity aspect, you still have lots of ground to cover to actually achieve the vision you have.
Well, I'll try to delve deeper into this topic later, right now I'm not even finished with the livery... By the way, can you share some insights about gathering information about systems(and how they integrate those into the cockpit)? I really want to go 'hardcore' about my current work.
@Stickman698 You have to love it, yeah. I've been doing model airplanes since I was 7. I find PlaneMaker and Blender to be a realization of my life-long quest to make awesome planes. I'd definitely say I have a love for it.
Insights? Research, research research! Try to talk to pilots, try to get connected to people who maintain these planes, download manuals about instruments in the cockpit, join the X-Plane (dot) org forums, to discuss topics of interest with others, and just be dedicated.
@danklaue Well, I also love planes. Ever since I was 3 years old, I asked anyone I knew about planes.
About the x-plane(.)org forums, I already am a member, and I suppose you are familiar with some of my work. I'm Hornet-Hurricane there.
About research, well, the best thing I could do is get checklists for a 747... I suppose that's not good but I don't do this full time, I have school :(
By the way, how do I get to pilots? I mean, is there anything special? Or do I google "pilots"?
@Stickman698 I'd probably go find a local flying school, hang out at their cafeteria, try getting to know some of the people, ask about their flying program, take home some pamphlets, see what it would take to get a license, hope that you could find someone patient enough to answer some questions, ask if you can get a tour of a plane, and come back for more next time. If you're young, you might find someone who will take you under their wing a bit, and mentor you, if you're not too annoying. :)
Hey I'm trying to get my hands on the 3.20 for blender 2.5 but cant figure out how to get it. When I go into the download. It will only show 3.1 for blender 2.4
I need some help, i downloaded the new script (XPlane2Blender-3.10r1.zip — Final v3.10 r1) and I installed, but in blender after i hit ALT+P blender says PYTHON SCRIPT ERROR: CHECK CONSOLE. i don't know what python does it need, were i can download and how to install it.
A Python error is not necessarily caused by Python. You can go to python(dot)org to get the latest python, and that MIGHT solve the issue. Otherwise, you'll have to take a look at the console (as the error message also states) to track down your problem. It may be that you are trying to do something that the script doesn't support, that the script was altered (which is easy to do when you're trying to hit "Alt+P" in the script window), or something like that. Could be anything.
Is there a version of this for Windows 7
I took the time too look at the install command and it listed that it was not for win 7, at least I think, I just skimmed it

That's pretty complex... Or is it just me watching those awesome tutorials while not being 100% focused?

You have to switch branches on GitHub. It's a bit confusing, I know.

@danklaue Yup figured it out :) need a little tutorial in how to use it though :P Ah will figure it out

is there any ways to make x-plane planes using 3ds max.. would make like soo much easier
LTF85199 1 year ago
Here's what I know:
1. 3DS Max would require an export script (just like Blender.) I read about development of such a script, but it seems the project has stalled.
2. You can use 3DS Max, then port to Blender before exporting as an .obj.
3. 3DS Max is very expensive, and it is the goal of these tutorials to offer people a FREE way to make planes.
4. According to many user testimonials I've come across, they find Blender more powerful, faster, and better than 3DS Max for this purpose.
