Cool, thanks for the heads up! I'd like to see if the S-55 and the Cessna 170 can be made to work in FSX. Unfortunately, the Avsim Library seems to be down again now.

Thanks for the Hu on the S-55.

It's not that I think stupidity should be punishable by death. I just think we should take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem take care of itself.
Don't forget BananaBob did two great photoreal S-55 repaints.
Pretty certain they are available at Avsim or definitely certain they are available at www.screenshotworld.com
Lovely (well I like it ) little Helo, just right for put-put-puttering around
Bobs pics
cool freebies
thanks for the HU Guys

There are also many S-55 repaints on Flightsim by Remi Pierlot. They work in FS9 also and they look very good. I think he covered almost any nation that flew these.
Looking forward to downloading the S-55...whenever the file library works again. Odd how nobody on the Avsim forums has posted that it's down.
Cheers,
Nick

There's no point in saying it any more, it happens so frequently.
Yup. I'm after that heli too.... <twiddles thumbs and ponders where his registration is for the Nemeth Mi17...>
I guess that explains why they are madly advertising for a techie.
Cheers,

I just d/l'd the S-55 for FSX and every time I switch back to the VC it freezes the sim and I have to do a hard reboot. I've had to reboot 3 times now :help:
I've un-installed it for now. Shame too since it was so nice of a visual model.

There was no FSX version when I painted the original textures so I have never loaded it in there myself. I did notice that there are six texture sets (or at least folders) in the FSX version whereas there were originally only five in the FS2004 version. Maybe the sixth is a "common" folder? If so then I wrote up the File_ID.diz file incorrectly -- oops. :whistle:
Do you recall what texture set you had loaded or was this freezing up across the board?
:ernae:
I just checked them all and I didn't experience this. Hadn't heard of it before either. Fun to fly this on though.
Does anyone know how to get that left rear wheel out of the mud in FSX? It wasn't that way in the original FS9 version.
Also the FSX version is not wearing the final textures I delivered way back when. Some details are missing. You might want to convert the FS9 sets into DDS and use them.
I had no problem with crashing on the S-55, but couldn't restart it after shutting down. **** time I think, there, because I couldn't get it past 500rpm following the kneeboard checklist, let alone up to 700fpm.
Other than that, superb fun. :ernae:
I assume you've extracted the required textures only if you're using Fs9 textures? I've loaded Bob's photoreal after keeping the ones required for FsX and converting them to .dds. The rest of the textures required are in the common texture folder and of course the Fs9 paints will need a texture.cfg in the folder too.

Changes i made in the aircraft.cfg:
[lights]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing
light.0 = 3, -33.20, 0.00, 17.55, fx_shockwave_navwhi
light.1 = 1, 6.89, 0.00, 4.75, fx_shockwave_beaconh_lowl ; top
light.2 = 1, -4.60, 0.00, -3.12, fx_shockwave_beaconb_lowl ; btm
light.3 = 4, 28.26, -1.64, 2.11, fx_shockwave_vclight ; pilot
light.4 = 4, 26.11, 1.61, 2.66, fx_shockwave_vclight ; nav
light.5 = 7,0.500, -14.000, 0.300, fx_iris_smoke
light.6 = 9,0.500, 14.000, 0.300, fx_iris_smoke
light.7 = 5, 32.67, -0.50, -3.75, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow_no_flare
For the smoke, you need Nick's smoke gauge and i replaced the taxi lights switch with a beacon switch (by default the beacons are enabled with the Nav lights).
Works only with XPack:
[launch_assistance]
launch_bar_pivot=21.5, 0.3, -13.0
launch_bar_lug=21.5, 0.3, -16.5
[GPWS]
max_warning_height = -1 //No need for GPWS
[VoiceAlerts]
LowFuelPct = 0.1, -1, 60 //Low Fuel limit (percent), Check BELOW, Check every 60 seconds

EDIT:
@Chris and hobo
did you change the texture.cfgs? Or you can try the $vpanel.bmp of the FS9 version (panel folder).
EDIT2:
Regarding the differences between FS9 and FSX version of the S-55:
FS9:
[fuselage_aerodynamics]
drag_force_cf = 4.25
yaw_stability_cf = 0.27
FSX:
[fuselage_aerodynamics]
drag_force_cf = 3.25
pitch_stability_cf=0.000000
FS9:
[MainRotor]
Position = -0.5, 0.0, 4.91 //Longitudinal, Lateral, Vertical feet from datum
inflow_vel_reference = 59.0
FSX:
[MainRotor]
Position = 0.2, 0.0, 4.91 //Longitudinal, Lateral, Vertical feet from datum
inflow_vel_reference = 55.0
FS9:
[electrical]
max_battery_voltage = 28
FSX:
[electrical]
max_battery_voltage = 24
A few questions about the new "Trim Gauge" in the Alpha S-55 . Got installed ok and it shows up I believe when I hit Shift + 4 . A little rectangular gauge shows with three parameters itch , bank , and yaw . Value of zero is showing . Do I click on this gauge and change the value(negative) because when attempt this I can't insert any numbers in the gauge . When I figure this out I understand fron the ReadMe file that any changes I make creates a confuration file (Somewhere?) and this config file must eventually end up in the main S-55 folder ?

(Goal changing nose pitch down to level as discussed here in this thread)
You just trim the heli using your standard airplane trim controls. The gauge just shows you what your trims are set to.
