Indeed, it's lookin' good. Could never get the hang of Sketchup meself (no problems with FSDS or GMax ... weird, I know). And once you start designing, it's sooo hard to give up. biggrin.gif

Looking good, Eddy. Plus it looks like you might have inspired a few to look at making their own models.

Nice one NZeddy - you're coming along nicely - so are the buildings... laugh.gif Seriously, it's great that you're having a go. I've done alot of research into creating stuff, but just haven't made the time for it. I can see it would be HUGELY addictive. Humans were designed to be creative - whether with paint, clay, music ... or digital buildings... biggrin.gif

thumbup1.gif I admire you Nzeddy....looking great. Ive never got my head around all that tech design stuff. Maybe i should .

I made a donut once with sketchup , but cant think of a flightsim application for it.

Keep going...you are now one the creators at nzff thumbup1.gif
