Cera Bell 412EP

I just received an e-mail that there is a patch available for the 412 which addresses the issues that were brought to their attention.

"Changes:

- Texture and Paintkit problem is fixed.(Repaint made previously, must be repaired with the new paintkit)
- Full animation of wipers; parking, low, mid and hi.
- Default flight with Engines ready to fly (Please do not load a previously saved flight with Cera Bell 412 FSX).
- New flight dynamics.
- New Nav and anti-collision lights effects.

Additional notes:

- You can quickly activate the electric system (battery, inverters, generators and radios) clicking on the top left panel of animation."

I couldn't find a new paint kit not that it would do me any good.

I just tried looking at the area around the air intakes to see if I could see whether it had been remapped, but it doesn't look like it. I'll try applying an existing repaint to this model and see what happens, later.

Edit: Putting the DHFS ZJ239 repaint back on, I get a blue patch not only on top of the air intakes, but also on top of the exhaust cowling. It does look like some of the mapping has changed, certainly.
 
I don't know what they mean by saying "Repaint made previously, must be repaired with the new paintkit". Sounds pretty vague.

But flight model is better. It is now much easier to slow this thing down.
 
The Patch is great, but now we have to do a lot of paintwork - they have changed the section behind the Rotordome - see below

Greetings :wavey: Dirk
 
If you look at the top texture using DXTBMP you can see where it has been extended to come to the edge of the map. Panel lines and rivets added but it does look as if a new paint kit is needed.

Did someone found the new Paintkit ? - the Patch didn`t contain a new one - the new textures looks like they need to be reworked.

In my opinion the patch need a patch ....... :mixedsmi: I also notice that the Rotor-Animation stutters after the patch - the old one was very smooth and looks much better.

Hi,
Installed the patch and I found the rotor-animation sttters as well. Patch take out reverted to orginal. All I have used is the new rotor sound and the light effects to my 412. A real let down in my opinion.Timm
 
I`ve tried to add my Repaint to the "new" model - but the lines and rivets did not look so good as before - what was the reason for this "update" ? In my opinion the "old" one looks realy good. Like Timm and gajit, i use only the new air-file, .cfg, effects and gauges - so that the engines running when start FSX.
Hopefully CeraSim can sort that out.

Has anyone told them? They don't have a forum.

I was planning to buy this one. Presumably, though, the patch is going to be baked into whatever package is distributed now, so unpatching will be difficult -- or even just using the .air file, as suggested here.
 
I`ll try to mail them later today - I want to know what other Members thought about the patch. The new FDE is great - with the new .air and .cfg-files, it handles
like a dream. Very much fun to fly (my opinion:icon_lol:).

The original unpatched setup is still downloadable from simmarket.
 
So... you fix old paints by moving upper section in bell_ext_2_T.dds 38pixels to the right. But they didn't bother updating their bump maps to correspond new diffuse maps, so you'll get misaligned bumps:sleep:.
