The new mod of the Cerasim Blackhawk is near completion, with the help of Jeremy Ulloa (textures) and Eduardo Mansilla (animations)

Very nice detail on the exterior Firehawk.
The interior looks a little bare..?

[jagl04]

The original Blachawk is full of weapons and soldiers, not very adequate for a civilian helicopter

yes thats right,but when used for fire fighting,well the new Cal Fire fire hawks ,should have crew seats as they carry a crew of groundpounders to build line .called a "Helitack " crew.i dont know if LA county or San Diego counties have helitack crews,but cal fire will (or do currently) and the contract for the 11 new ones call for crew capabilities.

The design of a new interior, with specific crew, is not in my plans, at this moment. By the moment, I will go on with the Seahawk mods. There is a lot of work with this project, and many bugs to correct

I was just hoping for pilot seats...hard to hold the cyclic on your knees....

I have tried to upload a fix here at SOH, but the server says the file is too large (?). So, here is the link for the fix.

yes sir,i understand..i was just sayin...:adoration:

What if a good gauge developer could make a water control gauge with associated logic.
The screen shot shows a derivation of the CL415 V3 water bomber control which is not made for helicopters
and gives confused operations. (The two animations do happen)

-Make each animation separate.
-Make the hose extension and water pumping/dumping separate.
-What if the water hose intake could not pump water unless the intake was in the water..? (radio altimeter data?)
-To fill tanks would take a certain amount of time and levels would be shown
-You can't dump water unless you have something in the tank.
-Length of dump would be based on water quantity in tank.

I know there are fire missions out there but am clueless.

Smashing news!
Regarding the fire gauge, I (as an happy customer) suggest the FireFighterX addon which meets all the requirements you have given.

Certainly the level of realism is high, but I did not see the interaction for where the pilot needs to perform certain action to get water.
I did watch the bambi bucket video, but did not see the pilot controlling the drop.

I would think the Firehawk and Erickson Aircrane might benefit from such a gauge.

[Kekelekou]

You have to fly below a certain radar altitude for long enough to have the tanks filled. The scooping height and duration are both settable.
The object release button (Shift D by default) is used to drop the load.

For land-based tankers, you have to roll close enough to a filling station, and cut/reduce power to start the refilling process.

Great idea. Added to the model for future versions

The Firehawk external lights seem inoperative...

Hallo Friends,

the original S-64 Erickson Skycrane done by Jordan Moore (for FS2004) contains
the well known hovercontroll gauge and also a gauge that allows to drop and to
pump again water into the tanks. these system gauge are also incorporated in the specific
panel I did for this bird.
The two different snorkels for sea skoping and for land refill are operated via the door controls.
All works ver well in FS2004.
For FSX I do not know as I do not have it nore the cerasim choppers.
Yours
Papi

Thank you. I'd forgotten all about those early birds.

I was wrong about the external lights, they do work, pilot error...:banghead:

EDIT: Does anyone else find it hit or miss if they work..? With the Blackhawk, no problems.

I have tried to upload a fix here at SOH, but the server says the file is too large (?).
Just happened to be looking over the thread and saw this. I have had the same message on occasions when uploading scenery. The message normally is given when the image you upload for the file is too large. . .so it's not the actual downloadable file, but the image you included. If you reduce the size of that, it would probably accept it.

[Daveroo]

there are a couple new articles on fireavation.com about tanked helicopters,a 2500 gallon internal tank for the CH-47 helicopters,billings helicopter will be using it this season.and an 850-1000 gallon internal tank for the firehawk.this is awesome news for fire fighting aircraft,and more importantly for fire fighters.

Narrow landing lights added.


light.7 = 6, 8.50, 3.50, -1.75, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow_down_45,
light.8 = 6, 8.50, -3.50, -1.75, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow_down_45,

Thanks a lot. Included in the aircraft.cfg file for future patches

[LouP]

Am I the only one having trouble when selecting this in p3d v4 :-(

[LouP]

Never mind, brain malfunction. I missed the very last step.

[firerx]

sorry for the ignorance guys,. where do you add those Light codes?

In the aircraft.cfg, there is a "[LIGHTS]" section almost to the bottom of the file.

Does it work in P3DV4?

[firerx]

Does it work in P3DV4?

Yes it Does... Beautifully: :applause: you gotta follow the instructions to the letter on installation. in search in the P3D menu type " Firehawk"

Have you more detailed pictures of the bird? I´m not very good with textures, but having some more details I could ask for help

[Daveroo]

i dont think any of the new ones have been delivered as yet.you can check sites like fireaviation.com or wildfiretoday.com and look back in the archives if he has anything more.

[firerx]

here she is:

it will be the same as the LACF one. Just need the Cal Fire paint job. :wavey:

[jagl04]

Really beautiful. By the moment I´m very busy, but this is a very interesting duty to consider

[firerx]

yeah, please do sir. I'd be forever grateful. I can retire my 205's :applause:

[firerx]

hi sir, Any update?:wavey:

[firerx]

Bump:redfire:

[jagl04]

My apologies, I´m very busy with my job, and have had no time in really interesting things.
