AC Aircraft

[cogeo]

Here's the real deal -- a brand-new A321 render

The engines, same CFM56 as Monarch, squished to normal size nicely 

Indeed, in the actual render it looks just right! Excellent work!


May I request another livery? Will require re-engining though. Please also note that the gray at the undercarriage isn't metallic, just painted gray.

Congrats again!

Two new aircraft...

TAP Portugal A319	Lufthansa A320

Updated Aeromexico 737...
   Sorry everyone, that's my internal development version, meant for the upcoming Menu Management Lots (which use rewards activated by a script). The regular-version SC4LOT is attached, just delete the original file and replace.



Anyone downloading ACB-VLT Series 2 after tonight, 4 May 2009, won't need this fix... I'm updating the installer package right now.



========================================



joelyboy, the 747 is the last pack coming out (hopefully in August, on its 2-year anniversary)

The 757 is indeed next after the A320 Family.

Thanks cogeo! We do have the IAE engine available, but the airline list (at least for the first batch) was set some time ago. After the 747 release, probably in August, I'll take requests for any type in the AC fleet. Until then, I have to limit the pack size, to achieve the release dates we want.


PLT - going fast, now 13 done

[joelyboy911]

August. Ah. I was so built up with anticipation. Will it be put into one of the prop packs, before then, as you have done with some other planes?

[ShadeSlayer]

The new planes are great. I'm especially liking the Lufthansa.

[PLT]

Looks great, especially the Air Portugal, as we didn't yet have any carriers from Portugal.
Keep up the good work! 

[strucka]

Where can I get the airbus lots? Great work you do here.

Small Update...

Aeroflot A321, silver livery

Thanks PLT, ShadeSlayer, & strucka... no lots yet, need to finish the airplanes first 

I'm back from a short hiatus, and production is resuming... only 2 aircraft to go, then the Lots and some icon work.

tomorrow: Big Update

[Igor]

OMG, that Aeroflot looks great! Can't wait for more. 

[PLT]

Aeroflot's livery looks absolutely stunning!
I'll be curious to see what you show us tomorrow!

Many more A319's -

Avianca A319	EasyJet A319	United A319	Virgin America A319	Volaris A319

edit for the airline names, they were running together.

[joelyboy911]

They look great! As expected, superb. But for some reason the pics took forever to load? EDIT: Scratch that, it's fine now...

[PLT]

Wow, that looks very nice!
We've finally got a United A319 in new livery, brilliant!

[Jack Bauer]

I like United A319!!!  &aplsLooking froward tosee more planes such as Air France and British airways  planes.

First Airbus lots, and two new aircraft

Aer Lingus A320	British Airways A321

Thanks jack, PLT, Igor, joelyboy. Overall, I still prefer the gray United myself, but the new paint is better from a ground-level perspective.


Next task is preparing the Lots, including revised loaders (different cargo deck height). Release hopefully in 2 weeks, still all the lots, icons, readme, and installer to go.

After this, I'll be taking the 747 next, to make the anniversary date (only 6 weeks away). It's not just more airlines, there's tons of new modelling -- service vehicles, cargo compartments & more. The midsize heavy jets will follow, in a combined pack sometime around September/October.

[Jack Bauer]

these planes looks breathtaking!!! I like the BA A321!! concerning the 747 pack, it's going to be released for teh summer or in september/october?

[XiahouDun]

Oh my You just continue to impress

[joelyboy911]

I don't want to be gushing, but these are wonderful once again.

I never did hear back regarding your intention/or not to make an Air New Zealand A320. I can (probably) make the livery textures if you wanted.

You are planning, then, to use beltloaders for these planes? Over at the SCAG, we have had, done as a collaboration between myself, RustyXL and Cameron1991, some LD3 unit load devices(Cameron) as well as some dollies(Rusty) and loaders (me) for these. Cameron tells me that jets from the A320 in size and up (excluding B737) can use these to load passengers' luggage as well as other freight. Not all airlines do this, but it is something to think about.

[allan_kuan1992]

I can't remember asking this so if I did then I apologize.

But... I think we all know that HD props are now possible... has that been tried in some of the new props lately? Or is the result unsatisfactory?

@Voltaire: This looks fantastic! Can't wait to use the Airbuses in my airports. 

Btw, on Voltaire's latest picture, I notice a retro Lufthansa livery on a B-707. I also notice that the gate where it's parked looks a little different than the others.

Is this because the aircraft is an automata replacer, and appears now and then at the gates (eg. such as the WestJet Avro automata)?
Or is it because the lot with the retro livery is a part of an earlier release? In this case, wich one..?
