Re: Gmax Guru required!!!!!!
The doors on the Sioux could be removed, if required. As far as being a full bona-fide CBFS project, I think it can be said that the gurus here would probably prefer to start from scratch and a converted Agusta Bell 47 would not top their list.....a Westland Westminster though, now we are talking serious helicopters!!!

Ok, consider this cancelled. Gives me more time for the UKFS revamp...............calypsos wrote:The doors on the Sioux could be removed, if required.

I'll keep the files incase this resurfaces at a later date.
Ah well, at least I know what a Sioux is now

Re: Gmax Guru required!!!!!!
Shame but I think there would be quite a bit of work in it.
I've always thought the Whirlwind is very overlooked (not just in FS!). Obviously it started as an american design but by the end was a very different aircraft to the S-55, and saw a lot of active service too.

Re: Gmax Guru required!!!!!!
I agree about the Whilwind, that French guy did an HAR10 for FS2002, but it would be nice to have one with a VC, and a Belvedere...oh no! I could go on for ever.
Perhaps the Gaffer at UKMil will still want to look at this, just changing the pilot would help!

Re: Gmax Guru required!!!!!!
Tbh,if DC is still up to it as a joint project, I'll most likely un-cancel it as I did start making mods to the Bell 47 (adding aerials and other bits to the outside and interier). I think what I've done, adding duel controls to it and a changing the pilot to a militery one (which i believe DC has from the Skeeter he did..................) would cover it. And changing some of the piping on that engine obivously.calypsos wrote:I agree about the Whilwind, that French guy did an HAR10 for FS2002, but it would be nice to have one with a VC, and a Belvedere...oh no!

Re: Gmax Guru required!!!!!!
As far as I'm now concered, this is uncancelled. Mainly cause I got bored and have just spent 3 hours on the engine, cockpit and trying to create cruved piping.
Doesn't look like much but a fair bit was spent studing photographs and experimenting with what gmax can do.
Note, now duel controlled as per the real sioux and the start of the new piping for it.

Re: Gmax Guru required!!!!!!
Good man! Anything added will enhance the slightly basic Bell-47, do you have any 3D drawings?

Nope but some would be good. Going to do some more work on the piping today if I can work out how to do itcalypsos wrote:Good man! Anything added will enhance the slightly basic Bell-47, do you have any 3D drawings?

Re: Gmax Guru required!!!!!!
No luck yet with a good 3D, but this NZ has some nice detail shots......but I think it might differ from a UK variant!!

This guy has nice detail shots of the AAC Historic Flight Sioux, make sure you enlage them too. They are halfway down the page.
