Goodbye Abacus gazelle. Hello Tolga Piskin.

*Edit* It would seem they are actually the same model :redf: After the beta, which is dated 2008, he must have sold the final model to abacus.

[WarHorse47]

Nice find. I like it? :wiggle:

Curious. Tolga Piskin sounds familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard of him before.

Thanks for the heads up MM. For a beta it's awful nice. I also like the fact that I can actually fly and land this bird; for me flying most FS helos is more akin to balancing a unicycle on a basketball. This one doesn't seem to be as twitchy, and I like!:ernae:

[Motormouse]

Ok, first look is that the paintwork is a little too shiney; unlike real ones eh?

I'm sure someone clever could de-shine it a bit (please?)

And...the same chap also done a proper Huey with teeth too; search the authors name over at Flightsim.com and you'll find it in the FSX section; just drop the complete Huey folder fom inside the zip's 'sim-objects' folder into your fs9 aircraft folder and.......

Taaaaa ----Daaaaaaa...just the ticket for trips upriver with the air-cav!!

Hi,

That's what I call a "Master Beta" :jump::jump:
Very good sounds also.

Must admit I didn't check any further :icon_eek: :redf: ; saw it was a nice model and thought I'd share..
put it down as an 'oldie but goodie' then...

Y'know every time I see a Gazelle I think of the October 1986 cover of Motor Trend Magazine 'Countach races Chopper!'--every teenage boy in this era (myself included) just ate this stuff up.
Now if someone could do a black-and-gold Gazelle....hint hint nudge nudge wink wink...

[Blackbird686]

Nice Find!!:ernae: I'm not much for helicopters but this is a good one, for a "beta". Took me some real gettin' used to, just to be able to hover. Sounds are pretty good too. Thanks for the HU.

Excellent Huey actually. The VC guages are a bit pixely, but short of replacing every one with a better looking example, there isn't much that can be done about that. The only oddity about the heli is that after startup, I continue to get the "Startup" sound whenever I change views. If I stay in the VC view it's fine for the entire flight, but switch back and forth from interior to exterior and back again and the startup sound plays over and over again. . .very annoying.

You'll find his name and mark on a lot of Abacus Model's.

has anyone tested this helo in FSX? How well does it work?

[Desert Rat]

Yup, he did the Abacus one, I do like it though, but had to repaint it and de-shine it some...

I use another HUEY sound .. and the prob was cured :)

a-ha...thats' more like it..care to share please?

Pete

[Desert Rat]

mine is the payware Abacus, can't share the model though and I'm not sure if the texs are the same. Does this version still have the transparent underside to the sight bug that the Abacus has?

here's my skin if it works, just a direct copy of the original.

blurs too,

Hi,


I'm not sure if the texs are the sameVery easy to know ...
Or you download the freeware .. and test
Or you upload your textures and we test :)

I did attach them above, but it seems the forum software converted them to jpg's. Converting them back would loose the Alpha channel, so have deleted them.

here's it zipped up if it works? Backup your originals and replace with these, they are not accurate as far as panel lines, just a quick and dirty copy of the existing to get a better 'look'
