Create variants: Military, General Aviation, Freight, Commercial

[IAHM-COL]

Hi All

I was wondering,
How possible does it seem to have two versions of the B727

One as the regular one, the other one as a Freigth, example 727-230F or something.

Most liveries I previously made during the "spirit of FG tribute" fligths were made off real life Freigthers.
Most of the 727 still alive today (operating) do that in this mode. But really cool civilian transport versions also existed, as in the Lufthansa and Cruzeiro liveries.

I guess, that's doable with 2 set files.
What I am more interested in knowing is, if using this method, as an example, the liveries available for the plane can different in the menu, and whether, as an example, the interior of the plane fuselage can be different, like having seats or boxes?

Best,
Israel

It's some work, but basically possible. The FDM versions are independent
form the interior/livery questions because they share interiors/liveries
anyway. So it's just Freighter/Pax to talk about. The trick is to put
the livery.xml files in separate folders like models/liveries/freighter
and models/liveries/pax but the actual .png files a level higher so they
are always available. That solves the livery problem. The interior can
be done with submodels, I do that allt he time in the Voodoomaster part
of JPack. You make the interior of the main model just a big empty room.
Then you have a lot of boxes and seats and you can add them to the
model.xml files. Then you go in the xml file for exmaple for the box and
make a select animation for each livery you want:

select bigbox whatever/livery name_of_freighter_liv

That is just a sketch, probably I have to reword it a little, but that's
the rough line. The problem is, you have to transfer some mp-properties
to make it visible for other players. I still work on that.
