Official Kickoff: Agusta AG-109 Helicopter Project

[Roadburner440]

On to some Milviz news, we have started work on an Agusta AG-109 helicopter for one of our partners. This model was started by a different company, and will be enhanced a lot over the next few weeks. We are aware the main landing gear is wrong, and that there are no screws and such on the cockpit. As always feel free to comment, and thanks for taking the time to look.

yeah i've always been a fan of the 109, especially with the retracts but a 109 is good none the less...

[MCDesigns]

SWEET!! can never have enough FSX native helis!! :ernae:

[krazycolin]

This will have retracts. No worries.

[Matt Wynn]

excellent! what series are being made? A thru E? and the AG?

[Dain Arns]

Well, if you decide to put a hoist on it for a SAR operations, and have a separate ambulance version, I'll bite. :jump:
And I'm not too proud enough to admit if you need someone to test it I'd be happy too. (Gotta try) :icon_lol:

[Matt Wynn]

only experience I have of a 109 is visual and as a passenger not much use :icon_lol:

[krazycolin]

The only version planned at this time is the E (Civilian), though we might well add a hoist... There are a ton of variants of this one out there so...

We'll see. Right now, we're working on getting the VC done up in insane detail. You know, SERIOUS detail...

Mwaahahahahahahah....

kc.

[Matt Wynn]

cool as a jewel pal! looking forwards to them images when they get shown, having been Pax my eye will be scrutinising every little thing :icon_lol:

great work... keep it up guys :ernae:

[MCDesigns]

We'll see. Right now, we're working on getting the VC done up in insane detail. You know, SERIOUS detail...

Mwaahahahahahahah....

kc.

Now I'm worried :eek::eek::eek:

I'm with Dain, an EMS version and an SAR version with hoist are on my wishlist also.

[ryanbatc]

Renders looks nice! Is this a Nemeth bird or who's doing it?

[krazycolin]

Don't be worried. A SAR version is a likelihood. An EMS... well, we'll have to see.

As for who is doing it, it's sure looking like the Nemeth's. We do like working with them so...

[deimos256]

Very nice! Back in my firefighting days I once set up a landing zone for the NJ state police medevac which I believe is a 109.

[N2056]

While I am not really a whirlybird type I can still appreciate a good looking mesh when I see it. Knowing that Milviz has it's hands on it only tells me it will look better than it does now!

[krazycolin]

awwwwww..... I'm blushing....

[Roadburner440]

We are looking into the many different variants out there. I saw a nice looking paint on google for a civilian one, but I see it is in many different roles around the world. It is ultimately up to what the end product winds up being geared toward which is still to early to tell. Glad to see the interest in this one. Can't wait to get at the controls myself.

[waka172rg]

Our airforce is getting these great timing will be a good insite on how they handle:ernae:

[Dain Arns]

.... An EMS... well, we'll have to see...

How about, "Pretty please?". LOL, best I can do. :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

[Dain Arns]

Very nice! Back in my firefighting days I once set up a landing zone for the NJ state police medevac which I believe is a 109.

Actually, the NJ State Police use a Sikorsky S-76, which is similar looking indeed.
But thank you for mentioning Jersey's NorthSTAR and SouthSTAR medivac S-76's.
I would LOVE to see a native S-76 for FSX as well as the A-109. :jump:
(Yeah I'm greedy for FSX helicopters :icon_lol:)

[euroastar350]

Very nice! Back in my firefighting days I once set up a landing zone for the NJ state police medevac which I believe is a 109.

NJSP operates Bell 206B3, 206L3, 206L4 and Sikorsky S76B:wiggle:

[Roadburner440]

I know the Nemeth's did a S-76 for FS2004 (maybe 2002). Don't know. Looked at it a long time ago. I didn't start buying their products till they released the CH-53. Maybe at some point they will revisit it. I forgot about the S-76, personally this one reminds me of the HH-65 without the ducted tail rotor.

[krazycolin]

If anyone has pics of this bird's VC (the real one please) and shots of the VC for the AW139 as well, those would be appreciated. We've already gone over to Hovercontrol and elsewhere on the net but we are looking for those who have access....

thanks much.

[kilo delta]

and shots of the VC for the AW139 as well, those would be appreciated.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh yes! An AW139 for FSX, pretty please! :)

[euroastar350]

KC,

Did you not get my PM?

[Roadburner440]

Eurostar350, if you don't mind, and KC isn't responding to you feel free to PM me and I can get it directly to him. He tends to get swamped in work, and projects. So I can assist in getting info to him faster is you want. On a side note I didn't feel this necessarily deserved it's own thread, but the Nemeth's have decided to let us announce that they are in the long haul to do all of the helicopters that we are offering up for FSX (quite a few haven't been announced yet). For right now they have accept the AW-109, and AW-139 on top of the S-64 (which hopefully they will be able to pass on an update about that one soon). So there will be many more helicopters to come. Which is a good thing cause that is one area there never seems to be a lot of aircraft.

[krazycolin]

I never got your PM dude... send it again please...

thanks

kc

[krazycolin]

FYI, we are not doing an AW-139 due to the fact that someone else has beat us to the punch... Ah well.... sad.

sorry,

kc

[JamesChams]

Mr. Steve & Mr. Colin,
You both are "totally" teasing me and the FAA Guy....:kilroy::jump:

If anyone has pics of this bird's VC (the real one please) and shots of the VC for the AW139 as well, those would be appreciated....
Please, allow me to do the same with a few of these...

Any more development shots of the 109?:jump:

Also...whilst an AW139 has been released for FS2004...there still isn't one for FSX. Would be great if you guys in connection with the Nemeth brothers could reconsider building one?:salute::ernae:

[Roadburner440]

No more news on this one for the moment. For the last week or so it has been full steam ahead on the 310 working on the flight dynamics, and tweaking the model. The 310, and Skycrane are in FSX and those will be the next off the lines (no timeframe at the moment). F-15's were in FSX but they are work stoppage at the moment. F-22, this, and the Harrier are still getting work done in 3DS.

Thanks for the update,Steve :ernae:
