I'm looking to find a builder who could take these images and model this to fly in FSX. I would even consider paying for it if the quality and flight dynamics is excellent.





Thanks in advance for any help or information!

I'm building the model in 3DS MAX. I wonder if it can be converted to the program for FSX.

I've begun modeling the UFO myself in 3DS MAX. Is there a way someone who knows how to build add-ons can take this model and convert it to the program that is used for add-on creation?

I'll be adding more detail to it, but here is what I have so far...

Thanks...I can create a basic fly-by animation...I'll post it once I do. What I need to do is find someone who builds quality add-ons for FSX and see if they can take this model I built and add fully functional flight dynamics, the highest Mach speed available, hover ability, lights, etc.

Then make it available to download for free.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

Here's a 5 second cheesy animation. I'm a novice with MAX...Just learning the basics right now. The model looks good from a distance but it's far from perfect.

Thanks!

If I can find the right person to put my model into FSX reality then perhaps I can remake the model to be really outstanding. This one took me a couple of hours to build. If I really take my time, say over the course of a week or so, then it can be totally cool. That is again, if I can find the right person who can make the lights, flight dynamics excellent.

FSX'ers deserve a killer UFO, don't you think?

1.) Put some little steps drop down for the primary exit.
2.) Put legs coming out of each bulb on the sides as landing gear.
3.) Make the back of the engines light up bright blue when afterburner (76% and past).

Here's another model of a classic style of UFO. This one was a public domain 3D model I downloaded. I'm really surprised these haven't been modeled before for use in FS.

If you want you can contact the developer Hama he's the one who built the Queen mary 2 the titanic the hondajet for fs9 and fsx although I don't know if he speaks English you can try he is a great developer here is the website

p.s if you are using internet explorer I think you can right click the page go to page properties and click translate to English. And if you can't find the e-mail there just search hama at avsim and download one of his planes and look in the read me it should say it there.


As you can probably tell I am really looking forward to this ufo lol

Thanks...I'd prefer English-speaking for obvious reasons but I do appreciate the help!

I've posted this in various FS forums and even a FS Developer forum and nobody is offering any help. I'm a bit frustrated. Confused

There are tons of add-ons out there that a lot of people have created yet I can't find any developer database or resource...Hmmm....
