[WIP] Boeing 747

hugojackson18 · Mar 6, 2014

Here's a little wip of the unit I'm making for Gedemon. It's a Boeing 747 as you can see.

I'm still fixing some bugs in the texture, I'll finish the animations tomorrow and figure out what fx I'm going to attach to it (notice the JetFire at the tail of the plane in the second image)

If you think you could use this unit for your mod and would like me to do a special texture for it, just ask!

Looks nice!
You might want to take into account that 747 has 4 wing-mounted engines, none of which have after burners. So while the JetFire at the tail of the plane's Auxiliary Power Unit might be eye candy, contrails behind the wing engines would look more realistic.
Cheers

Thanks bc1! Yes I am aware of that, and I was planning to put effects behind the engines for the final unit. This was just some tests to see the effects =)

You might also want to consider adding semi-transparent white lines extending behind the wing tips and tail plane tips, to give the illusion of speed !
Cheers

Thats done already! They are only visible during the Run animation, but they will be there! Thanks for the feedback =)

It looks great already

Now I must seriously think of the gameplay for air routes... More tourism than gold, require an airport, remove (part of) the airport tourism bonus to balance the new route... :think:

(and new missions for spy...)

it would be cool if air routes enabled culture or faith bonuses instead of gold.

So I finished the animations and the texture. I tried to work on the AnimState to be able to have a TakeOff>Flying>Landing kind of animation, but didn't succeed with anything unfortunately...

For the effects, I didn't manage to find anything useable for the contrails... I put some wingtrails as a placeholder for now, until i find something more suitable... If any of you think of one, let me know!

I'm attaching a useable WIP for now so you can test it if you want.

I'm going to make more textures for it, Icons and I will definitely try to mess with the AnimStates to get the animations playing as I want.

I thought the jet fighter does contrails

Would an air trade route work similarly to a caravan or cargo ship?

Unpillagable... Berlin airlift anyone?
