Attention Rotorheads - new Nemeth/Milviz Huey UH-1C and H available

KC, the door issue is probably on my end. They function normally until I fly.. After that, I can open them by clicking on them in the VC, but they very quickly close on their own. I've seen this in my sim before, though, so it might be a conflict of some sort on my machine.. My installer reads version 2.0.0.24, size 348mb.

You're not landing on a fuel bay parking spot are you? There's a very well known bug in FSX that causes the door animations not to work around fuel squares - they open when asked, then instantly snap shut again.

Try moving to the other side of the airfield and seeing whether they work there.

On the subject of sticky doors...

I've noticed the Shift+E commands open the right side bay door only and the pilot doors don't open or close at all. I can, though, open both sliding doors by clicking the handles - it is just the Shift+E (+2, +3, etc) commands that don't seem to work.

I should note these commands don't seem to work regardless of the aircraft's position either in-flight or on the ground.

Cheers,
MT
 
A few things are only working if the switches in the VC are used (e.g. doors, lights, fuel main switch).

I attached an image of something which looks strange.
 
Thanks for the tip, Ian. I guess I was, because as we know the military air fields with no assigned parking put you on the fuel cell. I did not know about this bug... I'll try it later and report back. JT8D-9A, the textures in your screenshot look like the fuzzy ones I reported earlier in this thread. Is that shot of the H model, by chance?
 
I thought there was, but had not heard anyone else say for sure. At least I'm not the only one... Thanks for verifying that for me.:icon29:
 
I've not seen this issue anywhere else. However, I will see what i can do. It's added to the fix list.

We'll add the doors as well.

thanks,

kc.
 
Many thanks to Jeansy for his great repaints @Aussiex.org :applause:

BTW, is there already somewhere a sharkmouth repaint of the 174th AHC? Thanks in advance!
 
Beautiful Paint and Screen Shots :ernae:

I always think of the H model with the Huey

But I'm Very glade they did and included the C model...Thank you:wavey:
funny I've been flying the C model more then the H

Some Civilian Paints would look Brilliant on the C Model

No Guns Of course...

Agreed!

Nice shots Nils, I also want to thank Matt for his painting recently.

Even though the paintkit is a bit awkward, I hope we get some more paints for her!

I have more time in the new huey than any other aircraft in my hanger, love the VC texturing.

Without meaning to sound like I'm complaining, I am wondering why this thread is no longer a stickie...

Click to expand...

Simply because I try to limit the amount of stickies (there are 10 at the moment) and I go by last response on a topic. This one just happened to have the most days without a response when other new releases popped up.
 
Ya. It took a few days for the skinners to start bumping it. Just a roll of the dice. Now it seems like the skinners are starting to pump out some nice work!
 
In the update is there anyway to get a clean model (without outer gun)

Guns on her are great and great looking

the clean model is just an option...

C model would be a great civilian bushhelo :applause:

Thanks again for the "HUEY" for FX

Unless you are flying in a full on war zone, guns are seldom fitted to any military helicopter. If required, they have to be collected from the armory and fitted by the crewman as part of the pre-flight. The GPMG on my avatar was fitted for an exercise, even in N.I. the weapons were not fitted (at least not during my time) but we crewmen carried SMGs and the pilots small side-arms.

Having them as an option (via a menu or load set-up) would be a very good idea.
