This is a large, simple, modular fuselage system that rivals the Mk4 in size. It is not complete; the textures are ugly, there is no edge shading on the models, and some functionality is not present yet. However, this add-on is open source (GNU GPL v3.0) and is entirely part-based, thus there is no risk of bugs.

This add-on is designed to be used with FAR; I don't know how it performs with stock aerodynamics.

While the add-on doesn't have an dependencies technically, you will de-facto need the following additional add-ons in order for your aircraft to be flyable:

Procedural Dynamics - for creating large wings

Tweak Scale - for enlarging the jet engines

Looks nice, although I'd suggest using smooth shaders to get rid of the faceted look and make the models round and smooth. I look forward to seeing what you do with it in the future.

Nice, we could make a great Antonov with it! However, I suggest moving this in add-on development, because it's not finished yet.

Thank you, I'm glad people like it. The smoothing of the fuselage is next in my plans, but I can't figure out how to make it work in Blender. I use the 'edge split' modifier, but it doesn't work with this model. I have no problem doing it with a plain cylinder mesh, which is weird.

Looks promising, I've always wanted to make a ridiculously large cargo aircraft. Good luck!

We need this

mein gott....

[Hellbrand]

we totally need to get this guy some Quality IVA's and some cockpit ideas

[Gaalidas]

I gotta say, until I saw the lack of smoothing there, I really had no idea how the curved models in this program got to look so nice. Not too surprising though, I'm as much of a modeller as my pet cockatiel is a grand-piano tuner. And it's not...

[DanHalen]

The non-smooth fuselage is indeed a problem. Unfortunately my Blender skills are limited, which is partly why I made this open source.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me figure out why the 'edge split' smoothing techniques are not working for me.

I sudgest that you contact TT. His Mk4 fuseladge system is great and I still use it for building masive SSTOs. He might give you a nudge in the right direction.
