Looking for One More Helicopter

These photoreal repaints look awesome !
I think you did a good choice with the G2 and the freeware S-55. If I remember correctly, the Alphasim S-55 also has the piston engine, and it has a working clutch as well, right ?
It had a missing texture (or incorrectly declared in the panel.cfg, perhaps) in the virtual cockpit, but you fixed that in the past, didn't you ? Or am I confusing with someone else ?

The MP Design S-55 is also a very nice beast, I hope somebody will make photoreal repaints for it too :)

Where did you get "Hoppy?
 
MSD s55 didnt come with a paintkit when released like everything with them the phrase "its comming" was thrown around a lot by the 2 MSD staff posters

so the old saying wish in one hand and S#i# in the other and see what fills first applies to this package just like their gazelle

due to the lack of bump and spec mapping with their models, i havent been bothered to look back after deleting them



but the alpha sim s55 has hundreds of paints, mainly in fs9 format however every one is easy to convert and you will get the same finish that the msd s55 gives you
 
why dont you take the freeware s-55 and use its model to replace the model in the payware s-55? that way you can use any paints you want, and still have a great flying chopper..

a valid point, there will be no loss to the exterior texture quality, at least with the freeware model you can add bump and spec mapping and publicly release it, for the others who already have it, its really not a bad idea

however for falcon, it kind of defeats the purpose of him buying only one to get the most bang for his buck
 
This, in the immediate, is quite true. However, there is, next month, the month after and gods willing and the creek dont rise, next year. Once Falcon has one, theres no saying he cant get the other at a later time, and use the myriad of textures now, while upgrading the flight model later on. It's really the best of both worlds as the newer model comes with no paint kit, but the alpha one does..

very very very true, its a cant loose
 
Speaking of old Helo's...

has anyone tried an FSX Native conversion of Brian Franklin's Westland Wessex? That was probably my favorite Helo in FS9
 
"And should someone put a bit of air in that left rear tire?"


I scoured SOH as well as many other sim sites to adjust this and add other little tidbits ..... contact points, HD VC with new seats, heli-trim gauge, smoke effects, engine smoke gauge, heli dust landing effects, ... and all seems very nice and quite realistic. A great little model. Thank-you, @falcon409, @BananaBob and all others involved in this project.
