From engineer to engineer: Salute!
When I started the project "Fw-190A-3", I took all the knowlege of the FW-190A-3 together. Performance data, flight data, air speed data etc. I went to AAA and soon I got an FM expert on my right side who works in the avaition buisness. I gave him the sorted data and he wrote the first version of the FM. On the left side I had a 3D god and his padawan.
I still do not know the knowlege behind an FM because it is not nessesarry. But I know how to read performance data and air speed data. I have the FM in my head.
There are so many guys who think they need to know how to make an FM but they do not have the technical background. There was a guy who told me a FW-190 should out turn a Spitfire!!
hock:
I always told him that agillity is not turn radius but he really believed in this fairy tail and if he whould be able to create a FM we whould have a FW-190 that flies like an I-16.
And the Modding community lacks professionalism .... there is really a way to go to reach the IL-2 standard but we do not have any tutorials by Oleg that show us how to make a new plane or map. I personally get a big head when I see the size of the new textures. They sometimes have a size of 1024 x 1024 pixel. This is too big. But the professionalism grows. We have a growing archive of turorials and there are more and more users that work with this standards.
Back to the FM. You do not have to know how to make an FM. You just have to know WHO makes FMs and you have to know how to talk with other people. The secret of many sucesses is that the persons try to find a solution instead of protecting their arguments. The same is with 3D work and other stuff. The magic word is: communication.
