Looks Great , cant wait

Nice work!

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

A landing light always works well as a search light...
Code:light.5 = 5, 13.50, 0.00, -2.70, fx_Shockwave_landing_light
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.
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.

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
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.

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.
Code: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,
