Baldy's rehash of Jim Jacobsons Piasecki was the start point. It's using Mick Posch's H-21 VC.
Now, I have not had this in sim, as that craptacular bletch just had a craptastic hemorrhage that crashes on start, exit, menus and looking sideways at it. An update made it in and totaled the lot, the last splat wiped out every single Cfg and Air file, panel files, sound cfg's, quite a few model files. I don't know if I want to re-install the ***, so I might be folding up shop. I'll see how I feel about it at a later date, but I'm about ready to drop anything with gate's fingerprints on it over the goddamned side of the boat.
So. A HUP might have some appeal for the navy types. Note: Basic doesn't do it justice. It's old, with a basic conversion. The wheels are still non-rotating, you can get at those with the hierarchy editor. It has Piglets Navy pilot in the hot seat, I think I've got all the visibility conditions set correctly. The Doors are shift E1-E2-E3 and E4 for cabin door, two DV windows and the belly hatch, the model is compatible with the skin packs (2) in the library, Micks Glenview skin is one of the selections. Except for the contact points, the CFG and air file are Micks H-21 butched to fit. You can fiddle with it in MDL X, it's a good, basic, stable file and it looks not too bad. With some further TLC, it may even be serviceable. No promises, though.
Now I'm going to see if anything else is salvageable.
Forgot something. I did have the visibility conditions in a knot, but an easy fix. This one. And the exits section may need a couple doors added.

MS update...If I had a rocket launcher (nuclear capable with sufficient range) Redmond would be a self-illuminating crater right about now- Word also got splattered and ate a number of revised manuscripts. I'd be a little less irate if it was a virus and not a @#$%?!*&#%@ 'update'.
