Title: Model size limit?
Post by: vamitul on May 07, 2007, 03:25:03 am

what is the max size a model can have? i was thinking of making a mission with a planetoid.

I've seen people put Earth sized planets into the engine.

Go for it.

you could probibly script it in if you wanted, but without newtonian momentum youd fall like a brick.

I'm not sure if you've noticed the designs of most of the ships in FS2 or not, but I'm pretty sure falling like a brick is exactly what most of them would do.

Without engines, definately. Makes me wonder which ships have engines powerful enough to prevent falling while having no aerodynamic shape. I was actually thinking most of them would work quite well, some would actually fly in the atmosphere (Ulysses,  Pegasus, a number of thin vasudan designs)

I don't think they need engines at all.

Vasudan cargo containers, which ARE bricks, are 'atmospheric'. But that probably means they're shipped around on trucks. Keep on playing Big Rigs, people.
