Cool, the mesh is looking awesome! I remember as a child I had some kind of card game with aircrafts and the SR-71 was my favorite! 
It was the fastest jet in there 
So I'm really looking forward to fly this in orbiter...!

Eh, didn't have time to actually look at it. It is the big MFD in the middle just bleow the pilots view. It should be seen clearly on my picture what I am using as a reference. Like I said before though, I won't be able to develop that much at all right now because I got in trouble so do what you have to do with other projects and such so when I can work on the meshes, we can hit it full blast.

THe projector, the display, whatever it is. I am not too happy today and I am a bit sketchy this weekend.

Any progression at all is good to me. What exactly are the two boxes on the left and right of the pilot for? Engine controls?

Fortunately that part will be easy because all I got to do is make small, flat cubes.

What would be nice, would be having a SR-71 engine starter cart mesh, ideally with V-8 motor sound, for doing a really nice engine start.

At the end of this video, you can see the starter carts in operation for starting the engines - nice detail: Watch the green TEB flash when igniting the engine.

Do you also make the aft cockpit? If you do it, make sure it is a separate mesh from the forward cockpit, as it is not visible at the same time and would allow us to save a few frames/second for cheap.

The cart doesn't look that hard to do. Im going to save it after the main part of the meshes are done. I am indeed making the aft cockpit. I'll make sure ti have each part separate for another. I would like more fps too, so that would help out.

Lol. I have a question about the mesh. How would you make my sr mesh and cockpit usable in FSX? I have never tried making anything for FSX.

Most suck because they make sloppy 2-D cockpits.

Lol. An F-4 I used on FSX went Mach 2.3 so quick you wouldn't even know. It was stupid. Also, the ailerons and elevators were so sensitive it was almost impossible to land.

What does the cart do exactly?

Cool. What is the final RPM? Can we have it overheat?
