ABSimulations NH-90

Does anybody have this helo?

All I've seen are some external pics - no cockpit pics. So, I was wondering what it's like. Anybody have any comments?

Seems like there's an original RNZAF download and several German packages. Not sure where to start.

Thanks :ernae:

Hi Warhorse,

I'm not surprised that you can't find any cockpit pictures...
This must be the worse 2D cockpit ever, and there are no 3D views!
Such a shame, as the outside modelling and flight characteristics are great!
She needs a few adjustments in the lighting and effects department.
I am also tweaking the sound file, even though it is relatively good.
Over all, I like this helicopter, but she certainly needs a replacement panel!

I'll be following up on this, as it would be injustice to let this one slip through the net...

This is a reasonable photoreal 2D Panel, quite confusing though.

This is turning out to be a great helicopter!
Unfotunately there are no modelled landing lights, so I had to improvise:

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit ORDER IS : Z , X, Y ,
light.0 = 3, -5.118, -5.922, -3.045, fx_shockwave_navred,
light.1 = 3, -5.118 , 5.922, -3.045, fx_shockwave_navgre,
light.2 = 3, -31.594, 0.827, 8.331, fx_shockwave_navwhi,
light.3 = 2, -31.594, 0.827, 8.331, fx_shockwave_strobe_sm_nl,
light.4 = 1, -8.360, 0.00, -4.230, fx_shockwave_beacon_rotating_red,
light.5 = 2, -8.360, 0.00, -4.130, fx_shockwave_strobe_sm_nl,
light.6 = 1, -31.594, 0.827, 8.331, fx_shockwave_beacon_rotating_red,
light.7 = 5, 13.10, 2.00, -4.37, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow_down_22,
light.8 = 5, 12.90, 2.00, -4.15, fx_shockwave_navwhi,
light.9 = 5, -4.08 , 4.322, -4.145, fx_shockwave_navwhi,
light.10 = 5, -3.23 , 4.322, -4.47, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow_down,
light.11 = 4, 11.75, 1.50, 1.0, fx_shockwave_vclight,
light.12 = 4, 11.75, -1.50, 1.0, fx_shockwave_vclight,
light.13 = 4, -3.00, 0.00, 2.0, fx_vclighth,
light.14 = 3, -13, -1.5, 3.2, fx_Heatshimmer5,
light.15 = 3, -13, 1.5, 3.2, fx_Heatshimmer5,

Sound soon to follow!

Well, the Nemeth S-76 and ICARO AW 139 really spoiled me. If it doesn't have a decent cockpit, I'm going to pass on it.

Thanks guys.

Well, at least no one can complain about the price. If someone made a payware version I doubt it would be for FS9. So this is what you've got. Maybe some folks can ban together and give it a good going over?
