@Maina Thank you. I referred to the model as incomplete because it lacks retractable landing gear, proper cockpit, control surfaces... etc. The modelling process for one of these should be modular. This was rough work. Making it a commercial venture will involve a ton of other complex considerations and costs...Marketing, Advertising, Accounts, Investments, looking for Funding etc. It is abit difficult to get all those sorted out due to lack of funds and manpower. I would rather avoid all that headache and go with a simple open source route. Besides attaining the objectives I mentioned previously will more or less guarantee countless intagible benefits. _______________________________________________ *Good judgement comes from Experience.* *Most of that comes from Bad Judgement.* _______________________________________________ * * 2011/11/28 James Maina <jameskmaina@hotmail.com>
Your 3D model is sawa kabisa. For those without blender, I've attached some image screenshots of the cool plane.
PS: my two cents is maybe if you do a profitable business model (and game), maybe more people might consider joining in given the tough economic times.

Ever since I got my hands on Hoary Hedgehog, The lack of a proper linux Air Combat Flight Sim has been a bother. I have considered filling up that void afew times before to the point of building 3 incomplete aircraft models but development halts due to lack of moral, moral which can be generated when working as a team. Sort of like going to the gym alone versus going as a crew. In former you are more likely to quit after 3 days. XD
Kwa ufupi, is there anyone who can channel some time towards the opensource coding adventure of your life?
The objectives (I think) :- Bring a formidable WW2 Combat Flight Sim to Linux distros (though a cross platform sim wouldnt hurt much) Prove to foreign IT investors that local devs are very very 1337. India's coding BPO biz should be challanged. Build a verifiable CV. Bring together local codeheads who can rely on each other for expertise on different coding areas. Sharpen your 1337 codding skills. Whatever other advantages an opensource project brings to you
Find attached an *incomplete* blender model of a "razorback" P-47<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_P-47_Thunderbolt>C thunderbolt - "the jug"
P.S. It will be a GPL v3 FOSS app (God willing) and thus chances of it being a commercial are very very very nil Consider it a constructive pass time project that is healthier and cheaper than drinking. XD
