After serving the NYPD for a career until a injury cut it short, I had always looked for anything NYPD that can be used in FSX. I looked for textures for the default Bell chopper in FSX but no luck. So last week with a little bit of time I was able to recreate the chopper we had used in 90's.
I stumbled across a Hovercontrol post in here sometime ago and had seen they had a Bell 412 chopper. After trying and failing I had contacted a gent who had done some textures for the Bell 412 in the LVMPD colors and asked if he wouldn't mind doing one in the NYPD version.
For many who witnessed the events on 9-11 or had seen pics, you will see my fellow boys in blue hovering and circling the towers as they were burning. After witnessing the collapse of the towers they flew across to jersey and landed after the emotions were to high for them to endure.
Well 2 days later the gent came through with a killer repaint of the chopper who on many of night had watched over me while chasing a perp through the dark backyards of Brooklyn NY. Here's some shots I just wanted to share in here.
The real one. I have also included the one I did of the default Bell Ranger with pics of the real one below. Special thanks goes out to Robert Harsha for his awesome job on the repaints.
