We dont use panthers. We use the AS365 Dolphin aka HH-65.

And here is a barn full of them at Travers City CGAS.

Correction, AS366G1 to be exact:jump:
 
Well, there is an Hellenic Coast Guard version. That has the winch modelled. It'll only be a matter of time before some painter gives it the treatment. So I don't think there's any worries for you.

And if no one else, there'll be me. I have been looking forward to another Eurocopter/Aerospatiale build.

Hi Chris

I have been flying around in some of your paints for the great Nemeth EC-135 - good work TX for sharing :ernae:
 
Chris, It would be great to have a USCG paint by you for this helo if they dont put one in. So I may reconsider my purchase thoughts.
 
Well, I have this thread subscribed, so if I miss the launch, someone give me a shout and I will take a look at the sale page. AS Choppers are almost always of usable quality. I have their Kamovs etc.
 
Agreed. No USCG Dauphine, no money from. It doesn't matter if we beg, plead or protest here anyway, Phil won't be stopping by to read. Almost all US citizens only know the Dolphin as a coastie bird anyway.
 
As I said chaps, there is a Dauphin, but no Dolphin nor Panther. The equipment on both Dolphin and Panther is different inside.
 
Bit more info from Remi over at AS.

Hi Guys,The AS 365 N Dauphin is on the final lap, some preview shot of the WIP on the AS site

Just some news about this project, to make the point. I've read lot of thing on the sim-outhouse forum about this project, and as I can't register on the forum, I wanted to make the point here to avoid the bad publicity about this model.

So, to be clear:

1 THE TEXTURE ARE NOT THE FINAL VERSIONS. I work actually on the VC to try to improve the render, as all the internal part, external and alpha layer.

2 There's no USCG version because the USCG is not an 'N' version of the Dauphin. It's a very specific version dedicated for the US market, that have a real different shape than the European N, N1 and N2 versions.
And by all saints... There's not only US customers on the FS market, so I can understand that some of them are very desapointed by the fact that there's no USCG version on the package, but they have to understand that the USCG version is not the same chopper than the N version. And the AS package depict the N1 and N2 version, that's all. And not a sort of "I don't care of US customers" from Phil. The evolution from the N version to the USCG one was to complicated to be done on this model.

I know that AS crossing some trouble in its team, but please just let the product speak by itself, because we, as usual, put all our guts in this model to give a great chopper to our customers. And trust me, this one has been a very long walk for Phil and me to make it correctly.

Some picts of the WIP asap
 
<dl><dt>AS365 N1
</dt><dd>Incorporating many of the improvements developed for the SA 366 G1 (HH-65 Dolphin), this version introduced upgraded 526 kW (705 shp) Arriel 1C1 turboshafts, an improved 11-blade Fenestron with wider-cord blades (which reduced the AS365 N1's noise signature), movable undercarridge doors replaced by simplified fairings and a higher gross weight of 4,100 kg (9,039 lb).</dd><dt>Now im stopping myself, not because of AS but because Chris offered a diplomatic solution. Thats more then I can say for AS.
</dt></dl>
 
Trans,

Nobody is disputing the fact that it's an AS365.

The cockpits would have to be different.
 
Following the demise of the Aces Team FS itself appears to be becalmed in the Doldrums and ANY new offering is to be welcomed.
 
Funny thing is, there've been plenty of AS releases that we've all worked on, that have had exactly the same responses as here.

To each his own. It is unfortunate that AS is a black term in some parts but then, equally, there has been plenty of praise for other AS projects.

Lets just hope that this thread can actually come back on track to focus on the Dauphin and not the crappy side politics.

OK, you win, floors all yours.

Outta here.

To be honest - if it was a Nemeth production looking like that I would expect to see the same comments to be here about the appearence of the product from those screenshots. Also requests for different versions.
 
Stick at it Remi, Michael and whoever else is involved you have my full support. Don't let the recently departed spoil what looks like a good chopper. :applause:

If you don't like it, you don't have to buy it!!
