Native Bell 47

I've got it and I'm very satisfied: high quality textures, easy to fly (for a beginner heli pilot) so a joy to hover around and look at the scenery.

Excellent! I can't wait to get to work on repainting this one.

However, I can't see your screenshot (broken link maybe?).

Now what we need is an update to remove the pilot figure. Short of that I'd settle for a much better pilot figure.

the images are in PNG format, some people have problems viewing try F5 i think that may work


I know theres RNZAF on the tanks but the way the model is mapped, it prevents it

Wot no text on the tank??!! That is a serious mistake in the texture mapping by the manufacturer! Without that a lot of repaints will be lacking/impossible. That, plus the pilot, warrants a new version in my books!

 

[jeansy]

the tank textures are mapped for one side only so any text will appear on both sides on both tanks meaning 2 sides the txt will be reversed, otherwise theyre fine to paint lines etc

and the way the blades are mapped it makes it very hard to add the blur

and yep the pilot is, errr um.....

Arrrrgggghhhh!!!! That is soooooo annoying...!!

I will the paintkit zipped up tomorrow if anyone wants it

 

[OleBoy]

Map the tanks separately? No reason too. They're the same color. Why map each side differently? LOL!!

The pilot. Well, he's a midget. Ever see all the clowns get out of a Volkswagon beetle? It's the best way to commute these days!
An update for all the noted issues would be welcome. I don't expect to see one anytime soon. With the noted deficiencies, I think is the reason for the sudden 50% price drop just days after release. That's my guess.


I would not mind testing your template work, Jeansy.

the kiwi paint is uploaded

I kept the dirt to a very minimum due to the alpha shine of the model, a dirty shiny model looks horrible IMO

Yes please!!

existing customers just need to remove the old version and install the new one.

Sounds good... Looking forward to FS Pilot Shop posting the update too.

Does the update change the texture mapping so both sites of both fuel tanks are independent of each other??

I assume the scale of the pilot figure must have been fixed!

Well what I'd seen on their website, the repaint kit is updated, but the pilot figure is still the same midget with the stiff neck......

LOL yes - i wont buy anything with an Alien flying anything other than a spaceship.

 

[kludger]

Thanks for that awesome red repaint @Jeansy, I'm off to download it.

@Airtrooper let us know what FS Pilot Shop says about the update, I ordered there as well and can't seem to find any info there on any update and the support link from the product page is returning a 404 error and doesn't seem to have a product update notification for this product.

There's probably many of us in the same boat who took advantage of the great sale on this helo there and look forward to the update.

I'd stake my job on it, that the developer is watching this topic. Why he does not reply, (add reason here)
