[REL] SCAG Boeing 777 Project

And this would be me using my multi-core CPU trying to render 3 777s at once

I have a multitude of other programs running too!   AMD's Phenom II x4 is simply great....

[joelyboy911]

Awesome!

[RG59061]

wonderful to see the program is back on track! Can't wait to see how it all comes out.

[KoV Liberty]

Now THAT is a lot of rendering at once!

[pilotdaryl]

joelyboy911: I know, right?
RG59061: Yea, according to my schedule this project is actually pretty much looking good.
Driftmaster07:  Yea, it's really stable;  so far, rendering speed overall is doubled from my previous computer and I can render 3 at once; that's a six-fold speed increase

The way rendering works now, I've been able to finish rendering much of the 777s and now have just a few more liveries to adjust; I could be releasing that first prop pack really soon.

[KoV Liberty]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A release!

[RG59061]

Hmmm...do I sense mild excitement here from Drift? 

Glad to hear your back in business and moving forward ahead of schedule! Can't wait to be parking these lovely 777s at the International Terminal of my airport.

I'm sure that is just what every other airport fan in SC4 is saying!

Keep us posted Daryl!

Well, since most of the 777s that will be in the initial set have been finished and rendered, I've decided to take some extra time to create a few more liveries for the 777 set so that all airlines (and most respective liveries) that operate the 777-300ER in real-life will be included in the initial release.
Introducing Gulf Air:

There are about 3 or 4 more liveries I'm willing to create that shouldn't put the 777 project too much off-schedule.  The next one is likely going to be a more challenging special livery, so make sure to check back every so often!

[cameron1991]

A challenging special livery?
Let me guess, Air Canada Vancouver Winter Olympics livery? 

But also very nice work on that Gulf Air livery! It's great to know a release isn't too far away.

[Kumba]

Looking good! Gulf Air is one of my favorite livery, its unique and stands out. Great job on it.

[KoV Liberty]

Lookin' good!

Hey Pilot,

I hate to post this so late in the program, but I was wondering...would you be able to make a FedEx 777? Boeing just delivered the first one to FedEx today. The 777F is a derivative of the 777-200LR and looks quite stunning!

If that is something that can be added into this release, I know I'd really appreciate it...and I'm sure others would too. If not, maybe in a later pack?

Thanks for the hard work by you are your team on the 777. It is shaping up to compliment our aircraft beautifully.

Stay Fab!

Can you make a United and a continental version of the 777?

[RG59061]

Yes, I completely agree Jack...the new United blue livery on a 777...gorgeous!

As for Continental...I can't believe I forgot Continental...yes, please if you can, make a Continental 777 and a United 777...as well as the FedEx 777 I also requested above! 

Thank you!

[Nexis4Jersey]

simply amazing piece of aircraft u modeled !

[joelyboy911]

@RG59061

The current set of the 777s is the -300 and -300ER models. The 777F, is as you said, a derivative of the -200 and Continental and United only operate the -200 as well. I think Pilotdaryl might be thinking about doing the -200 after he finishes with these ones.

[RG59061]

Thanks for the response. If that is the case...then we can wait till the SCAG team begins the 777-200 model.

Thank you again.

[pilotdaryl]

cameron1991: Actually it was a Cathay Pacific livery I was looking at, though the ACA-2010 livery is really interesting.
Kumba: Thanks - I find myself a fan of their livery design as well
Driftmaster07: Thanks!
RG59061 -1: Yes as a matter of fact I'm planning to follow up on the -300 series with a 777-200 series that will complement the 777-300 and 767 in the SCAG's large aircraft series.  Among these is the 777F of course, which will be part of a major cargo aircraft project that may take shape later on.
Jack Bauer: United and Continental operate the -200 and I assure you that those liveries will be present in the 777-200 series
Nexis4Jersey: Thanks and it's nice seeing you here!
Joel: Yes, thanks for answering me on that one and that's mostly correct; I'm scrubbing the original 777-300 though as it's a less common model that is never ordered and the airlines that do operate the -300 also operate the -300ER.  I figure that rendering two versions of the same livery can be a waste of time and disk space in certain cases.

Well, in order to avoid possibly severe delays to intial release, I decided to scrub the inclusion of any special liveries in the first release; this doesn't mean I haven't been busy these past few days.  I decided instead to create some liveries that referenced airline alliances.  So, in no particular order, here they are!

All of these have been rendered too!
There are about 3-5 liveries left to be created (or edited) so I'll be working on those for the rest of the week and if scheduling remains strict a prop pack could be seen on a local exchange very soon, so keep checking back every so often for updates!

[joelyboy911]

I'm ever so excited!

Those last three are amazing!

[Jack Bauer]

The One world painted aircraft looks perfect!!
