While I'm at it, I'm going to see if I can perform some modifing on a Shivan craft and see if it can be flyable. It may take a lot of tweaking, but I can handle it.

You'll need to extract the FS2 textures from the VP and convert them to TGAs (or BMPs) to make them work in Truespace.
You'll need a batch converter if you want to do this for more than a couple of files. Check my tools section for a link to Irfanview.

DID IT!!!!!.......one shivan craft, useable for players. I used the Fs1 Shaitan model and it works well. I modified it using the Erinyes table info. Want me to post it?

LoLs.
Sorry to say that flyable shivan ships have been done quite a few times before.
Good to see your playing around with it though.
Oh, and there is an edit button you know.

Hey, I'm in luck. Just finished my model but ummmm, I have no idea how to finish it all up in PCS before I add it to FS2. In the like case, The designing part is complete.
When I get it all polished up and ready for all-out madness lol, I will send it along. Dunno how long it'll take at this stage.

Bobb made a tutorial for PCS. Link's in my FAQ on the modding page
Your title upgrades as you post more. BTW use the edit button if no one has replied yet and you want to post again. It's easier on the eye

Yeah, Karajorma's FAQ is probably the best resource we have. That and the FSWiki. (which the FAQ links to iirc)

So yeah, don't forget to hug karajorma for everytime you use his FAQ.

*hug*

Hahahah!

Good news is, I got my model to function in FS2. Bad news is, the programming part to the ship is a bit tricky so I can't do that part. In the like case, it works. Could someone maybe help me with my model?

What seems to be the problem.
I'll help if you hug karajorma a couple of times.

I got my model working but the textures on it look horrible and hard to get right.....also, I'm finding the PCS program a bit tricky to follow. Do you reckon you could help me finalize it a bit?
By the way, 'hug' 'hug' 'hug' 'hug' 'hug' to karajorma lol
