Bell 47 (v1.1) for FSX Updated Release

[Mikrco]

It is with great sadness that I report that 78 pilots who have downloaded the recently released Bell 47 v1.0 may be killed or maimed if they continue to fly it.

It is unsafe! While looking at the recent screen shots posted by members I noticed that something was wrong. It became painfully apparent that I had uploaded the wrong package. So if the vertical stablizer fell off (no mounting hardware), or the engine fell out (no engine mounts) while you were flying - we'll I hope you were not seriously injured in the resulting crash.:isadizzy:

Of course being the good pilots you are surely you caught those problems during your walk around. :running:

Take heart though Bell 47 v1.1 is ready for download to correct those and some other issues I noticed were missing or the wrong file(s).

I apolgize for the hassel and will now go to the virtual cornor and stand banging my head against the wall for an hour.:173go1:

Is anyone having sound problems -My sound won't work???

Make sure you placed it in the right folder . Rotocraft instead of Airplanes folder under SimObjects . I initially did the same thing and when I switched it over to the Rotocraft folder sounds worked fine . (The sound is aliased to the default Bell 206 in the Rotocraft folder )

M*A*S*H looking good, :medals: thanks, hope to see that paint released soon. :running: :running::icon29:

For sound, I suggest alias to the Robinson or copy the Robinson files and paste to the Bell folders. There may be a better sound file to download somewhere.

Thanks I will give that a try!

Thanks that should be helpful
And if anyone could find some large high quality side shots of the mash chopper it would be of a big help
Thanks

Beautiful helicopter, Mike. Thank you.:guinness::medals::applause::icon29::jump:

Yep, found a nice closeup view of the MASH Heli, fired up PSP and went into FSX to setup a new texture folder and transfer all the textures so I could do a repaint only to discover that this is a true FSX and uses dds which I don't do. If it was a straight FS9 style bitmap I'd have it done by now, but that goofy reverse/flipped. . .only on the 3rd wednesday of every other new moon texture mapping. . . .nope, I'll wait for someone else to pull this one together.

[Wingmate]

could you send me the closeup view please?

[JimC1702]

Never did figure out why Version 1 didn't work for me, but Version 1.1 works just fine. Nice work, Mike!

Jim

[GT182]

Nice Mike.... and thanks. :applause:

[falcon409]

could you send me the closeup view please?
As it turns out, it's the same one Mike found for you. Everything you should need is shown in that closeup.

[anatolpopov]

I did small preview video. I will upload it soon to youtube and link it here. It's very nice helicopter, I think I'll paint it today

Did I miss a secret handshake along the line somewhere? Or am I just plain blind?

Where can we download this from please?

[JimC1702]

It's here:

You'll have to register if you're not already.

Oh yes... the site that doesn't work in Firefox... now where did I hide IE8?...

Give me 5... and thanks

I'm currently doing a few repaints for British Army Air Corps (AAC) Sioux AH1 (technically the wrong model!), including Blue Eagles, Bristows, Royal Marines. Illustrated here is XT131 of the Army Historic Flight.

I need to paint the skids entirely green. Does anyone know which part of the paint kit will allow me to do this?

Many thanks.

Nice paint Airtrooper.

If you need any shots of a blue eagles machine let me know and I'll get some of XT242 for you.

CBris, I'm running Firefox 3.5.1 and aside from the initial screen where the black text overlaps, the rest of the site runs fine.

Yes please! That would be very handy! Cheers.

Here is a rough WIP. Lots still to do (e.g. wrong shades of blue) but you get the idea...

Here she is with [too much] smoke:

BTW, I need to have the horizontal stabiliser in light blue, not dark blue. Does anyone know where I can find this part in the paintkit??

[Hurricane]

Looking good so far.

The XT242 page on our website has a picture of that scheme: http://helicopter-preservation-yhpg.org.uk/

The current scheme is slightly different but I'll take some anyway on wednesday (assuming I've got time, got to move the workshop round to spray the whirlwind).

[spatialpro]

Excellent James, I look forward to the shots.

I'm also glad to see someone is taking care of the Netheravon gate guard. No doubt she'll be in need of some TLC?! I'd love to help out myself, but Yorkshire is quite a stretch from Dorset! Keep up the good work.

Here is another WIP. Better shades of blue now, plus pilot in blue with silver wings!

The Netheravon aircraft is under restoration off site. I'm told its progressing well although work has stopped until the Whirlwind is done (roll out day is at the end of september). It'll then swap places with '242 to recieve the same treatment.

Well if you wait a bit you can do your military paints with the right paint kit- it will be include in v2.0 which could be available later today.
