Hello there guys
I have been really really busy lately, that is why I am not chunking out so many repaints like i used to and I still have some requests to do more SAAF planes but for now I am concentrating on expanding the SAAF Ai capability for FS2004.
With the success I had from my own side of my first and Second Gmax model, the respective Casa212-200 and Casa212-300, I have decided to start working and modeling the SAAF helicopter capability since the majoriy of Squadrons and flying vehicles in the SAAF are helicopters.
So I started modeling on the SAAF Oryx, an upgrade to the old Puma fleet the SAAF, more so the SA330L type, so after this model is finished, it can double with a few changes as a L varient also.
I have created and recreated some of the features of the Oryx, because of the lines that make it an Oryx it takes me bit longer then the Casa for the LOD 1...
I plan to give it pitot covers, a first for me would be full gear compression, maybe a similar animation to Nick black's Apache but would see if they can help me out on that etc.
I hope you like it an feel free to comment on any of this!!!!
Will definately tell you when it will be ready, but here is some sneak peak Gmax screenies of LOD1
