Also makes it tricky if the ship you're trying to land on decides to hide under the only thunderstorm in the Caribbean!
Ireland is no where near the Carribbean..... Just sayin.....

Well it's the same ocean and I was using a small scale chart...
Sorry, i love studying places and its pet peeve when people should know better...
So, any new developments?
The project is still moving along nicely , no news or pictures at the moment though , just be patient , one thing i know is it will be a hell of a chopper when its finihed

The only new thing to say is that the Irish Coast Guard paint is being redone to match the new rivets and lines. Almost finished. Don't want to update to often and start boring everyone to death! :

Irish Coast Guard paint is finished. I won't be doing any more repaints on this S-61 yet since more stuff will probably be added to the texture sheets, and I don't want to have to modify 10 repaints!
Here's a pic of the ICG paint:

Surprise! Here's Mr. VC! That's right. There has been some secret work. I finally got the VC to work and have been starting on some of the details. Here's what's going on:
-Seats have been modeled and textured
-Cyclic has been modeled and textured.
-Left side of the interior has been textured, along with the floor and wall behind the pilots
-Main panel has been started (Was done a while back, just placed in the cockpit recently)

Did anyone say it was finished ?? Of course it needs work :-|
I know that, just didnt quite think that much.

Just a little update. A few parts have been textured. (The main panel, and a few exterior parts) The collective has been modeled and I am trying to fix a view problem the collective has created.

Finally fixed the view problem yesterday. The cyclic and collective are in place causing no problems. Finally!

Today, I finally got the main rotors to flex! (I was taking the wrong approach before) I also textured all the back seats, and now will try to finish off all the exterior texture mapping. I will get some screenshots up soon!
