FSX Cera Bell412

[gajit]

Hi all

I missed you guys.

Just downloading this from simmarket - looks promising. I'll let you know if it is!!


http://www.cerasimaircraft.com/bell_412_fsx.html

[gajit]

Quick report - wow wow wow and double wow. Its a mix of Dodo sim and nemeth - the realair Duke of helicopters is the best comparison - fully functional VC with twin engine start ups.

Sorry - got to get back to cockpit. :wavey:

Even got animation panel that allows doors to be part way open and closed.

[Boomer]

I bought it & put it on my flash drive...

Cant wait to get home!! :running:

[gajit]

Im sorry to report just one really bugging thing - its scale is wrong. It is the same lenght as a 206

EDIT - actually it might be the 206 that is too big - im trying to post some screenshots but cant.

Yes - forget all that - its the default 206 that is not scaled properly - the 412 is big next to some of the nemeth helicopers.

[gajit]

More good news - theres a repaint kit :jump:

Im having a great conversation with myself here LOL

[hews500d]

Holy crap!! Those screenshots on their site look amazing! How is it flight dynamics wise, and how is the sound? When I lived in Virginia one of the nearby medical centers had a 412, I swear I could hear it for what seemed like 5 minutes before it ever flew over our apartment when it was enroute to the hospital. I think I'm gonna have to get this one.

Darrell

[ryanbatc]

lol at first I was like "Hey they Stole Jordan Moore's version"

Then I looked at the VC....nice 3d bordered gauges and all, beautiful...

How are the fps and yes, what about the FDE?

[gajit]

Hi

In RL i have only flown a 222 and an A109 to compare. Flying with full realism its a bit "twitchy" for a heli of its size but its manageable. It needs a bit more stability.

Frame rates are excellent even on my steam driven PC. Yes - those guages are as good as RealAirs and some of Dans more recent work when he was with Alphasim

[Fireball6]

It`s a great helicopter - fun to fly and great looking :applause: Love it !!!!!!!

[mike_cyul]

I have 13 real hands-on hours in a 412 (which obviously doesn't make me an expert), and lots more just sitting inside, and that was 10 years ago, but it's pretty much as I remember. I wish the autopilot worked, and I don't really like the fake TCAS screen, but flight-wise it seems to be weighted much like the real aircraft.

One thing I do remember is how extremely sensitive the controls were when a cruise speeds, and how absolutely gigantic the stick movements seemed to be when trying to hover or fly sideways or backwards at very low speeds. This doesn't quite do that, which I'm guessing is an FSX thing. However, I really like it, especially the attention to detail on the main panel.

Would also like to have had the Ctrl-E option for starting, as I unfortunately don't have that much time to fly....

Overall, however, great job! :applause:

Mike

[gajit]

Your right Mike - that start up every time becomes boring not challenging. It would be good to have the choice. Also I would expect to fly on trim on a large heli - the work loads are so much less that in something small/cheap!!

But then it is Flight Sim so cant expect everything.

[Cag40Navy]

lookin pretty good

[gajit]

Sure is - and its great fun creating a single engine out scenario by pulling one of the fire handles!

[ryanbatc]

So you can't start this thing with Ctrl+E?

[jeansy]

can we get some non promo shots please up close and a far

[gajit]

Hi Jeansy - the forum is stopping me from uploading screenshots so I cant help at the moment.

The VC works so well. I have been flying ILS approaches with all sorts of failures set up and the guagues work as expected and so smooth and clear. Nice to fly a product that has obviously been tested properly!!

[Old Crow]

Cannot upload any images, but if you go to my Webshots Album, I have a number of screenies of the Cera Bell 412. I was a bit hesitant getting it, but did and I am Amazed......:applause:

Make sure you click the magnifier glass to see the full 1920x1200 size.
Here is the link: http://entertainment.webshots.com/album/573584813hBzbks?start=36

[gajit]

Im also impressed with the way you can select to remove the cabin seats to make it a cargo version.

Has anyone been able to get the a dome light in the VC to work yet? I can only get the instrument lights so its OK to fly but you have to grope around to find switches!!

Good shots Old Crow

I hope you get it Jeansy as your repaint skills will be so apprechiated on this one.

[lawdawg]

I have a question for anyone who is willing to answer.
I just purchased this tonight and it seems the server is down for the download link provoded at simmarket. I got a partial download, it stopped, then....nodda!
I see some of you have not had this problem.
Just asking.

[Old Crow]

So you can't start this thing with Ctrl+E?

Ctrl+E did not work for me, but I found that sitting on the tarmac and hitting Y "Slew", then elevating the 412 to a thousand feet or so using the Q, then hit Y again and I am flying with all systems operating properly. This works with a lot of aircraft, but not all.
Hope it works for you. :wavey:

lawdawg, Try logging off SimMarket.....clear your browsing history and cookies, then log back in to your account and see if you can download from the link under "My Orders". I just tried it and it worked for me.

Good Luck. :wavey:

[lawdawg]

OK Old Crow....thank you.
I will try that.

[lawdawg]

That worked.
Thank you Old Crow.

[Txmmy83]

I think I have to get this Bell

it is a bit against my plans since the realflight hellcat and razbam dagger are also nice but I am a bit more into helos so decison pro Bell412

Figures, I'm broke when this comes out, looks fantastic, on the list for sure! :applause::applause::applause:

[sim-paticissimo]

What about the flight dynamics?

[Fireball6]

In my opinion this is a great helicopter - great looking inside and outside, easy Start-Up Sequence and great flyght dynamics. It handle`s great. Very funny to fly and good maneuverable. The VC is beautyfull.

Greetings :wavey: Dirk

Well summed up - the start ups are very good - simular to Dodo 206 and everything seems to work well.

I still cannot get any cockpit dome lighting - has anone else other got it switched on - I can get the gauge lights no prob.

[hews500d]

I'm torn between getting this one now or saving for the Lotus L-39 due out any time now, and then get the 412 a few weeks later....:ipepsi2: Oh How I Wish Money Grew On Trees !

Darrell

[Kavehpd]

What are the model variants, guys? Any with hoist, water tank, floats, etc?

[lawdawg]

Hey Gajit...I can't find that light either.... I am thinking there isn't one. I tried the "L" button for lights just to see what all went on/off...no dome light.

Kavehpd, there are no varients, floats and as for the rest...there is supposed to be a bambi bucket. I have not reached that point of messin around yet.

[Kavehpd]

Aaah, bummer. Still, even from those awful promotional screen shots, it looks really impressive. I'm dying to see some decent screen shots or videos (night VC shots, bump close ups, etc.). Nothing yet. Even Hover Control has gone quiet!

[gajit]

Sorry I cant help with screens but I cant upload here.

[Kavehpd]

Sorry I cant help with screens but I cant upload here.

You can always use other hosts, gajit. imageshack and photo bucket are the most well known ones. No need to register or anything. Upload. post the link or hotlink here.

Also saves SOH hell of a lot of HD space and bandwidth.

[Kavehpd]

Sweet. :applause:

[Txmmy83]

what I wonder that this level of details doesnt hurt frames
it has even better frame rate than the default aircraft with less details


it was my first purchase from Cera and now I am awaiting their 212

[spatialpro]

Does it come with Bump Mapping and other FSX goodies??

[gajit]

Yes it does - here is my first ever repaint of anything :sleep:

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq119/GAJIT/1strepaint2.jpg

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq119/GAJIT/1strepaint.jpg

[Kavehpd]

Does it come with Bump Mapping and other FSX goodies??

It does. It's a native model. And a damn good one. Stunning VC.

Two minor problems though...

VC light effect entry is missing from the CFG file. Coordinates are there. But FX file name is missing. I've replaced it with one of my own effects for the time being. But have not had the time to load up the sim and see how it looks. From what I see in the CFG, I am assuming that there is no passenger lights. Just one centre light for the cockpit. They've probably missed this in beta testing. Could easily be fixed by the user and requires no rocket science. No texture light maps in the VS, by the way (gauges excluded, obviously).

Second issue, which is really annoying me (because I'm considering abandoning my repaint all together), is a texture mapping issue. Part of the engine inlet and top of the fuselage use the same texture. In cases where the fuselage and engine inlets have different colours, top view is going to be messed up. I can't understand why that one small area is mapped so poorly whereas the rest of this beauty is perfectly textured.

Though this won't be that big of a deal, unless the repaint looks similar to mine (RAF 60 Squadron). I've left the wireframe on for the screen shot.

http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/9421/200973003253143.jpg

Nevertheless, I can live without the RAF livery. It's the wrong model, anyway!

[gajit]

Hi Kavehp

I am not going to have time to do another screenshot but if you look at mine onpage 2 you will just be able to see that I have different colours on those "green" bits you highlight. Yellow up top and black below. It can be done.

[dennison]

Kavehpd, which effect are you using? i used the default fx_vclight but it was too much so removed it.


gajit, will you upload your DHFS repaint please?


Thanks

[Boomer]

Hover gauge???? Sacrilege!!! :kilroy:

I gotta say I love this helo. IMO its the best FSX helo yet.

Only squawk I have is the FM. I tends to float like most FSX helos. Not as bad as some but much worse then the defaults.

[gajit]

lol :applause:

[spotlope]

I'm not necessarily a rotorhead, but I really like the looks of this one. Also, I'm a sucker for a well-done flight model and realistic systems. On average, I have about an hour at most to fly, however, and some of the comments about involved startup procedures and a lack of documentation have me concerned. Has anyone seen a good tutorial for this bird yet?

[Boomer]

Bill I am in the same boat with little time to fly. You can have both engines running & in a hover in under a min.

I have not seen a tut on startup but if you like I will do one for you this evening.

[Kavehpd]

This should do the trick, Bill.

CyaVam4pv0s

[spotlope]

Thanks, guys. That answers a lot of my questions. Is there a decent checklist included?

[Kavehpd]

25 pages in the manual. 6 of which are check-lists.

[vuong]

Does anybody try the auto yet ? Is it like in real life or ..... just like every other rotary?
Juimmy

[Boomer]

Ive done a few autos with it & as I said in my last post it tends to float. The blades have way to much energy.
That one niggle aside its an outstanding add on.

[CBris]

I finally went and got it.

Ummm... CTD every time. Depending on how swiftly I can start the engines, I can get airborne, but sadly every flight has ended in a CTD so far.

ALL other Release Candidate models work so far (although there is a beta that is causing different heartburn - and has been removed to see if that affects the 412). FSX behaves 'normally' with other planes etc. (haven't tested all of course) Just the 412 causes a crash.

I have written to CERA on their page and I am repeating here just in case anyone else has similar funnies.

Oh - one thing that I have noticed... the attitude indicater has "stutters" on my installation, but the startup video doesn't.

Once I did get this thing flying for a while though, I found her not to be that responsive. Even with reality sliders maxed. Needs a bit of flight experience I guess.

I see some nice paints already guys - good going.

[CG_1976]

One thing they could improve or an idea is like the Dodo offer a skill level so all can enjoy and work up to a full cold start. While i enjoy the bell412 from them and is a great purchase for me with matt's OZ customs service paint im still on the ground scratching my head how to start this beast. Err I'll get it sooner or later. Were did i park my Jayhawk I need a stress relief flight.

[dennison]

Have you seen the start video a few pages back? it also helps if you are in DX9 with tool tips enabled. Hover the mouse pointer over each of the throtles and make sure they are wound down to 0% if they are not flick the idle stop switch (on collective) then reduce to 0%.

That may help.

Errrr, im still trying to start this beast following the video but it wont start:violent:. Guess im going to have to treat it like a hind helo, Hit the center control panel with my virtual fist and see if it starts:rocket:.

The quickest way I've found is to switch everything oun the overherad console 'on', everything on the center console 'on' and then on the collective start eng1 then eng2, then increase engine rpm up to the green on the individual rpm gauges until the RPM light goes out.

[dennison]

Errrr, im still trying to start this beast following the video but it wont start:violent:. Guess im going to have to treat it like a hind helo, Hit the center control panel with my virtual fist and see if it starts:rocket:.

OR YOU COULD CHEAT, go into slew mode by pressing Y move the aircraft with the joystick then press Y again followed by a double press of Q.

Should then be started. From here you could get it on the ground and save the flight while it's still running. When you next start the sim it will auto shutdown,and should be in the correct condition to start as per the video.

Errrr, im still trying to start this beast following the video but it wont start.

Start at the center console & flip every switch in the fuel control section so it is toggled towards the panel.
Glance up to the overhead panel & the 2 switches that are bottom right click on so they toggle towards the panel.
Look at the collective & using your mouse rotate both twist grips about 10deg.
Push the start switch (also on the collective) towards the left & you will see the EGT rise. After it peaks move the start switch to the right until engine 2 is running.
Next go back to the overhead panel I switch on both generators & both inverters & then turn off the batteries.
Lastly twist both throttles to full.

engine to idle
fuel related switches on
battery 1+2 to on
generator 1+2 to on
inverter 1+2 to on
lights switches on
radios on
start engine 1 wait until it is up
start engine 2 same procedere
engine 1 switch it to full rpm same for eng 2

Yep - thats pretty much how i do it within 40 seconds - also bleep back the rpm before lifting to get the last warning light off!!

Well, I can start every time now - but still getting odd crashes, which may be FSX and not the Bell. I will wait for Win7 and rebuild the whole system in 32 bit as opposed to 64 bit Vista. I really have been having too many issues since I went that way.

My startup sequence?

Shortened by the book.

Four switches on the OHP to on (batt and inv)

Cycle the throttles

No. 1 fuel sys - three switches to on

Start No. 1 engine and switch off starter above 55%. Increase throttle to 10%

No. 2 fuel sys - three switches to on

Start No. 2 engine and switch off starter above 55%. Increase throttle to 10%

On OHP - switch on Gen and then lights as needed.

Check instruments and lights and throttle up to max.

Use the throttle trim to reduce RPM until the rotor RPM warning light goes out.

Fly

It really does fly nicely when I can get it there... Drivers are all correct, so there is something in the FSX setup that doesn't like my flying anymore...

Thanks! Just have to change the pilot's outfits to dark blue, and helmets to white....

[dennison]

Hi,

For those interested in adjusting the FDE, you may wish to check out a small program called "Heliforce". Available from the downloads section at
hovercontrol.

http://64.34.169.161/cgi-bin/ifolio/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Utilities

You can use it for all your FSX helicopters if you wish, and save individual profiles. (NOT required for the DODO of course).

Hi Dennison - thanks for the info :ernae:

[gajit]

Im struggling to find the right green for this one.

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq119/GAJIT/green3.jpg

[jeansy]

i know what you mean, a faction of a shade out it can look wrong and be very frustrating

[CBris]

Yep, that can be a PITA sometimes. I usually start by opening the photo in my painter program and using the colour pipette on a largish setting (5 to 10 pixel). That gives me a certain amount of averaging and a reasonable colour for use.

Also - have you tried Simmers paintshop? The have a lot of authentic colour tables with the RGB values.

[CBris]

Oh... BTW... my eyes are improving:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y276/CBris/Helicopters/thumbnail.jpg

How's the progress on the Canadian Tiger SAR paint?


Just a quick one, in my house hold it's been a nightmare, firstly my youngest gets rushed into hospital with suspected Swine flu and ends up with a 10 day stay because she's also got Meningitis. and then to top my week off the Royal pain in the A**e, the missus decides to go into hospital as well.

It will get finished when when my family decide to stop having holidays on the NHS.

CERA will be releasing a patch with some corrections;

-Full animation of wipers; parking, low, mid and hi.
-Corrections on the texture and paint kit.
-Default flight with 412 ready to fly.
-Better flight dynamics.

After this patch they will work on a 412 EMS version.

Cool, I found some excellent scenery for Oulu from a Finland Scenery Design group. Found out thru Fsdeveloper, been adding more Finland scenery as soon as more for FSX becomes available.

Yeah it's great scenery. FISD did a huge bunch of free, but payware quality airport sceneries for FS9.

Hi Guys,
Just thought I would show you some shots of my new Heli the Cera Bell 412. This aircraft has eventually pulled me away from FS9 and I must say not disappointed one bit. The detail inside and out is what you might say out of this world. It's a shame that you can't take out the pilot/co-pilot when your closed down etc. Timm

It would have been nice if just one model had a clear floor, those seats just do not look right with the military re-paints, far too comfortable!

Where are most of these great repaints going? I've checked Avism & Flightsim.com and haven't found them. Where can we download them from?

I really must re-do my website for decent hosting soon...

Miami Dade Fire Department - Air Rescue 3 in 2007 colour scheme.

[Fireball6]

Ok - did a few more ..... this Time it will be a 4-Paint-Pack. As you can see below, one more Helitack-Chopper, one spanish registrated yellow Chopper, a german registrated white Chopper and a new version of the "Bundespolizei"(small Enhancements to the textures, new Reg-Number)

Must pack and zip all together, than i`ll upload it :mixedsmi:

Greetings :wavey: Dirk

[CG_1976]

Fireball6, Excellent paints and i look forward to adding this pack. Would you if you have time to consider giving the Turkish CG one a try. Seems logical as there not represented in FSX according to my CG FS Records please.

[VCN-1]

Where are most of the textures being uploaded?

I have seen images of some that either don't get uploaded or there are sites unknown to me.

Completely fictional Navy rescue, WIP.

[jeansy]

nice

[bushpilot]

I hope Cera will fix this ugly mapping issue:

http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m465/bush_p/CERPAINTS.jpg

[MCDesigns]

Pekka, did you let them know about it? Is that area shared somewhere else? If not, can't you paint over it?

[bushpilot]

Yeah I'm gonna report that to them. It shares the texture with the area straight above it, so there's nothing I can do about it if I want to keep the upper part yellow...

[bushpilot]

Anyone knows, if they have support email address? Their website only has a contact form, and the simmarket order confirm didn't hold any support contacts either. It would be much more convenient to explain the issue if I can sent them that screenie with the email.:engel016:

[Timm]

Hi Guys,
Just a small Question on the external lighting. Other than the Anti Coll and Position Lighting would the 412EP have had a STROBE as well or was it not fitted with one? If it had one would it be on the top of the tail or there abouts Timm

[CBris]

I guess you could add strobes using the A2A redux lights. Don't forget to use a pre-set keypress sequence via the controls options in FSX because there don't appear to be any active strobe switches in the Cera 412.

Should work...

[Timm]

Hi Chris,
Thanks for info. I have had ago at adding a default Strobe to the tail. I notice that there is a yellow thingee on top of the tail don't know if that has anything to with it. But what I have noticed is that I can get it all centre to this point when viewed from one side but if I pan the aircraft this effect seems to go off the point, and reduce in brightness. Here is what I mean. Any clues how to sort? Timm

[CBris]

Sorry, I am lost there. But I have noticed quite a few models where certain lights change position with perspective.

I reckon either the model maker or A2A or MS used different measurement scales when building their addons. Tricky...

A few days ago, I asked on another thread, "What's the best helicopter model for FSX?" This one came up a couple times. Query: what makes this better than the Acceleration EH101 (which it would be "replacing" in my stable)? I know about the EH101's engine surging and too-small-to-read-comfortably VC instrument panel.

[Boomer]

what makes this better than the Acceleration EH101

What makes a Porsche better than a Ford?

I generally hate questions being answered with a question but this is the only analogous thing that comes to mind.

The default EH101 only has the exterior model going for it. I have yet to find a downside to the Cera 412... You'll see :engel016:

[MudMarine]

I'd rather have a Ford Mustang anyday!:engel016:

[taseal]

so nobody wants to attempt the Turkish CG? :(

[bushpilot]

so nobody wants to attempt the Turkish CG? :(

I can make it, but no promises when it will be finished. I'm currently waiting for Cera's update, if they will fix that little mapping issue:engel016:

This got me wondering. I could never fly the EH101 on my old rig, to heavy on resources and she seemed unstable (probably because of the choppy performance) Well I just loaded her up at Dillingham and what a joy to fly, I love the rotor animation, very well done for a default model (why isn't the 206, or even the CERA 412 like this?). While I still prefer many of my other helis to this one, I can definitly see getting more use out of the EH101, thanks for bringing it up.
