    Me and my friend are making a map on blackout, and need an aircraft, which looks good both inside and outside, it must be possible to be inside it. That's essential. But it also has to look good outside...

    Not asking anyone to make it for us, but does anyone have any bright ideas as to what we should use?

    It can be either a plane a helicopter or another kind of aircraft really...

    It doesn't need to be too big, and there's no real limit on resources we can use.
    I agree it may be too ambitious... But I'll manage it. *cough*

    Take the idea of a pelican and edit the ship like that and make it your own. Seems like a good idea to have a floating ship on Blackout. I believe you would be the first to make a ship like that.

    Hope it turns out good and I hope this helped!

    Sounds like a sick idea I never seen an aircraft on black out. Good luck!

    Yeah there are plenty of aircraft on avalanche but none I have seen on blackout. I saw this canvas of boxes and stuff above blackout, I would search for that thread and download it. It might be in the aesthetic section right now.

    But the thing is we don't need any floor for the map... Except in a spot where the canvas hasn't got... Don't ask - it's a minigame, but the essential thing is an aircraft at the top of the map. Not necessarily a large aircraft. Just something helicopter sized and pretty.

    Yeah, the problem with aesthetics is that it usually never works out well in looking good both inside and outside. My suggestion would be to use the flatest items you can for the details - bridges, doors, etc. The bottom of the bridges will give you the best effect visually, but to add to its appeal I would greatly suggest using some of the lighting effects available. It is also possible to interlock the boxes in such a way as the "grooves" are perfectly aligned to hide one another, but this would take an absurd amount of precision on your part.

    And that's not even touching the inside. I'm not sure what's available on Blackout for dynamic items, but I'd imagine computers and the like would be point of course.

    Do post it once it's done - I may not have a Live connection at the time, but I'd love to look over your screenshots...

    That might be hard to make I'm sorry butt an airplane would probably difficult to make and would take a lot of time I'm Just saying if it was good and forgerd well it would be awesome to play on. Good idea tho!!!

    from experience, helicopters look terrible. you just can't get something that resembles blades, except for radio towers, but they aren't on blackout. a dropship isn't too hard to make. Basically a box with wings and a cabin, then make it look nice
