When modeling a plane such as a P-38, is it possible to properly create multiple fuselages in the Paredit program in order to properly simulate such a craft? Also, can I have more than one engine and locate them accurately? If these things can be done, can someone please let me know where in Paredit to do it?

thanks,
James

I'm a bit of a newbie at this myself but I think the par file is very versatile. It should be able to model (almost) any shape. If you have the .x file then you could examine the set parameters in the par editor supplied with 2.8 (I appear to be a lone fan of this tool but each to his own). I use a text editor to get the shapes right and then set the locations using the par editor. I am hoping Mr Gunners will help me sort out a slight roll problem on a twin I'm working on and I in return would be willing to have a look at your model to see if I can get you close to where you want it.

Do you have an actual r/c model of this airframe? I am ineterested on how FMS compares with the real thing.

i'v had up to 6 engines, on a single model.
I use by Masuoka Hideaki.

It lets you place engines, wings, etc. visually in comparison to the .x model.

Any number of fuselages can be added as they are just another flight surface or wing. However, I'm doubting that you'd need the extra booms in the .par file as they will add very little to the actual simulation.

I have been using Paredit, but I don't see where you can add more than one engine...Can someone please explain. I don't see a place for # of engines in the motor tab.

Hey thanks I figured it out...And I finally got my first model flying with it's own .par file that matches it's geometry.

Quite satisfying isn't it?

2 Fuselages? Possible? - Can I create multiple fuses in Paredit?
