Bell 222

New shots here. Virtual cockpit updated with working gauges.

On a side note, we still haven't found anyone willing to help us code the gauges. My plan is to release the Bell 222 (FS2004/FSX) with default Bell 206 gauges. At a later date "IF" we can get someone to code the gauges for us, we'll release a panel expansion that will include customised gauges, etc. It wasn't something we wanted to do, but had no choice in the end. I don't want to keep working on this helicopter forever as we have other helicopters and airplanes on the drawing board.

So for the base release of the Bell 222 for FS2004 and FSX, the gauges will be default Bell 206 gauges and we'll be using the 3 or 5 engine flight model until custom gauges are made. Sorry folks, but it is what it is:kilroy:

Pleased to see this, nice work so far. :) There was a "Lifeline" '222 that would fly in from Rapid City to Chadron on occasion, the hospital helicopter pad being 2 blocks from me at the time. Some of the finest lines of any whirlybird, in my opinion. Always loved to watch them fly. It was distinctively louder as well so you could hear it coming well in advance. Will happily follow this project, thanks.

Thanks guys. I am squaring away on the VC at the moment. Won't be a flown blown 3-D VC for now. Since this will be a work in progress, I may end up doing a full blown 3D cockpit later in the future once my current and future works are caught up and released:ernae:
