Again, taking a page from the @Jettuh play book, small and cryptic, pushing the development I’ve made with the Trent engine, I will parley that into a new build of a couple of planes. So it begins. Sorting sizing out first of all.

Out of curiosity what do the x’s stand for?

I think it is to locate a location on the “flat” drawing versus the grid on a “full” airplane body.

They are markers illustrator make for text anchor points that are called Greeking, while the actual measurements are in outline mode. Work on 5m intervals.
I was also zoomed out to keep you guessing what I was building.
This is what you see as the X’s with resolution resolved when working with them as to what they actually are.
I did Say I was working out the size of the models. I was matching scales between the two models. Easier said than done.

how to do you add mods as I download from steam but doesn’t seem to appear in the game. HELP please
Do you see them in the ‘Modding’ menu in the start menu and did you enable them there as well?
I go to modding on the main menu and I see couple which I’ve subscribed through from steam on the bottom
That’s good! Have you enabled them as well in the modding menu?
how do I do that.

It probably looks something like this now:
If you click on one of the crosses next to a mod you enable it and it looks like this:
You also have the option to switch the default businesses and airlines on and off in the top of the menu. Please keep in mind that you need at least one on to let the game function.

So while the build of the Trent 1000 took me a few weeks sorting everything out as you know, the first variant built from it (not even a RR engine) has begun and been substantially quicker. There’s about an hour here and it’s falling into place very very quickly. The benefit of layers and masks and the setting up of the original engine with an eye to the future. 
About another hour and it should be 90% completed. A far cry from the time the original took. The time spent planning the first is paying of wonderfully and providing a very solid base to build from.
PPS Yes, the engine is a way lot smaller than the Trent 1000. I scaled that one down to work it for the new model.
PS In case any of you were wondering, and thinking, that looks different from what I remember. Yes I do update the image with the latest version. Save’s me reposting the same thing over and over again. I’ll just update it. Had a little more time spent. The rivets are wrong I know. They will be looked at. I’ve not yet worked from any reference photos. That’s my next step in addition to the pylon connecting the wing to the engine.
PPPS Work Continues. Been busy with other builds.

Not a fan of Southwests livery, but that’s one beauty.
