Fokker Aircraft

[retspan]

I have no relevant experience beyond regular graphics editing but would like to establish what it would take to get 2 generations of Fokker airliners into the game (F27+F28 and F50+70/100) and see if others would assist. I have found that existing models are available for download in Blender-importable collada (.dae) format aplenty: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?backendClass=both&q=fokker. Presuming that would end up working with the import/export add-on, is this a realistic route to go down? How much more would be involved? Any (Dutch) enthusiasts with regards to these types or people who'd just like to see more regional aircraft to add a realistic touch to the game's airports?

Fokkers? Yes please! Those Dutch are just as crafty as the Americans! Plus, we don't have any Dutch aircraft here, so I wouldn't mind a Fellowship or 100.

Note: I'm British, but I don't mind if a plane is British, Dutch or European so long as it's over 25 metres long or wide.

On further thought: I'm actually willing to pay for/towards someone pulling this off.

Sorry! Not a modder.

Wel i think if u port the models over to 3max ore blender ore somthign liek that an expirenced modder could put it in the game for u without to mutch efford...

Even if you ported an aircraft you will still have a number of complicated issues to resolve. i have done quite a lot with DDS TGA Textures recently and started to get into blender. Whilst 3ds max is tge way to go its £2400/pa. Whilst off topic, mods should be chargeable at say 2/euros or similar, so that modders can use better software and make more refined models as they are being paid at least something for the HUGE amount of time this takes. if you were to make the Shard in London it would take a minimum of a month full time to to do this including Kondon Bridge Station.
