My first ship is up and running!
I posted this a while back, but I have finally gotten my unnamed destroyer into FS2.  It's turrets all work and it (finally) does not have any holes.  Thake a look:

I'll put it up for download one of these days...

BTW, how do you make LODs?

Looks pretty nice :yes:
I like that dome thingy on the front... very cool :yes:
Can you get us a render in 3dexploration (or whatever) for a closer look? :D

Then Setekh could Steakify it too...
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

I've posted it before, but not with fixed textures.  Here's a layout of the ship design and an old scene file:

BTW, thanks to LtNarol for the texturing; I really needed that done.

Is that a Beam on the front (or back) or an engine?

It's a beam cooldown.  I missed capturing the beam on that shot.

That thing looks pretty. Really well mapped textures (something I am still not able to do) :mad: .

Very nice. It uses the Terran design scheme perfectly with both the models and the textures; I like this one a lot. :yes:

Oh, and use VPView to extract them.  Best have an image viewer to convert them to BMP, too.
