Good day everyone.
This post is simply to let you know that my 767-400 has passed 7640 parts and is about halfway done. It will either be completed by the summer, if I have access to a powerful enough computer, or the Christmas of 2021 if I have to wait. Either way, the aircraft will be finished in the next nine months.
The reason it will take so long is because the funky trees that I am using for the ILS features, Autoland, main panel displays, etc is very time consuming and difficult. Some of these codes are over 1,000 characters each. If yotu would like to look at recent progress here is some:
Main Fuselage (5099)
Wing (1001)
CF6-80C2B8F (312)
@AriakimTayo 9700k.
@klm747klm747 what generation?
@AriakimTayo Unfortunately it probably won't work, I run an i7 at 5.1.
@klm747klm747 i run a i5 at 4Ghz, 16 gb ram, RX 580 at 2Ghz, 2Tb storage, 750w psu, all watercooled to run at abt 60C.
@AriakimTayo I'm working on the rest of it this summer. What are your computer specs?
Hopefully this gets finished soon, it will be a good stress test for my PC lol. Although, I have managed to run about 10,000 parts on it before...
I wish you luck, for me also haha :D I’m gonna see my iPad mini crash I guess, haha my iPad mini maybe can handle about 1000-3000 I’ve tested.
Man I have huge aspirations. I am going to try and download this entire 9,000 part plane on my iPad. I highly doubt it is even going to finish downloading before my game crashes. Wish me luck boys.
I see @klm747klm747
@Optical Another quick note, the cockpit details are about 4,000, so I will also test the aircraft without them. Actually, I'm at 8000 without any details on the cockpit now, and the wings are 1500 each, so that means I technically am only at 3500 parts excluding the cockpit and interior. my limit is about 6,000 for testing, so I will have to make sure that I include the cockpit working details in that limit (ILS hold, Speed/Altitude hold, etc. because they need to be flight tested. Static details like words and lights technically don't need to be tested.
Well... I’ll never be able to download that unfortunately but I wish both you and your computer the best. @klm747klm747
dear god @klm747klm747
@Optical Yes, the aircraft is expected to be about 15,000 parts. I have tested my computer up to 12,000 parts over two models (4500 on my aircraft and 7,500 on the AI) and have about 7 FPS. The trick in what I am doing is so install the 5,000 part, zero mass, zero drag interior after everything has been tested and approved, including the autopilot, landing gear, flight testing and aerodynamic tweaking, etc. This way, I will be able to test the airplane at 9-10k parts. (which I can run at about 20 FPS, 15 being the absolute minimum I can test at.) I will not be able to run the finished aircraft on my overclocked 9700K.
“7640 parts”
“Halfway done”
jeez man
Oh man @KLM_747
@ACEPILOT109 I am looking to finish it quickly as well, I don't really want to be using all my time on this aircraft lol
Really, all I have to do now is the cockpit, nose gear, and finish some small interior details, as well as the engine reverse thrust animation thing. I also need to take my test for my private pilot's license shortly, and finish up some more cross-country flight before that.
Oh my god that’s so much stuff
I really hope that you finish this thing dinner somehow! @KLM_747
Oh gosh, those are oddly specific answers lol, I’ll go ask.
Sadly I didn’t get much. He’s moved to the A320 because of the whole rona thing and doesn’t really remember specifics like that. Lmk if you come up with any other questions I could ask though. I do have cockpit posters from when he was training on it if you need those.
Sorry I couldn’t be more help @KLM_747
@CRJ900Pilot Thank you for the offer! I actually never knew that! I do have two questions.
1. How many PPH does the APU use on the 764?
2. What is the voltage of the battery?
Can't wait to see it! Let me know if you need any help or references. I'm not sure if I told you, but my dad used to fly these
@ACEPILOT109 Thank you! Unfortunately the project will take, in total, about a year. I am currently about to start the cockpit, which is actually very similar to the 757 (meaning that I can reuse parts). However, the increased number of numbers means that I'll need to redo some of the displays, adding some parts. For example, the engine panel will be accurate, showing the correct N1, N2, EGT, Fuel flow, fuel remaining, etc. The airplane will also have various warnings, like low speed, overspeed, incorrect flap setting, sink rate, bank angle, landing gear, engine starting, APU running, RAT deployed, G overload, low fuel, flap load relief, etc.
I can’t wait for this
@KLM_747 ok make that 0.01 almost 0 percent
awesome. sadly won't be able to run this beast tho.
@WolfSpark Actually it'll be about 13-14,000 parts. Not sure how many people could run it, but my intention is to have the most detailed airliner for a long time to come.
