Wow, that's great! Now it's only a small step to a Westland Wessex, innit???
cough cough
Hello everyone!
Manschy - it might be close to Westland Wessex, who knows... maybe we release it in future.
speedy70 - almost whole Westland Gazelle is done except doppler navigation system used in military Westland variants. It's going to be released just after Cabri G2
As you know folks, we are hard working now on Cabri G2 which is going to be complete helicopter for training purposes. You can train your self in VFR and IFR conditions at all.
I'm interested how do you like effects on Sikorsky S-55? Did you notice exterior sound when windows are opened ? How do you like LTE (Lose of Tail Rotor Effectiveness) when you hover with moderate tail wind for instance? Do you like that that cockpit vibration effect characteristic for piston engine helicopter? VRS ?
Cheers!

Looking very forward to the Westland Gazelle as well

No. The sound remains the same with the windows open or closed. What should I be hearing, different sounds or change in volume?
Cool. Challenging to fly smooth.
Definitely. I also noticed the rotating drive shaft from the external view.
Vortex ring state? Like the Gazelle? Again, nice effect.
Question. Is there a keyboard command for the windows, or is that just activated by mouse hotspot? And can the hoist be lowered and raised?

Despite the challenges of fly you are the most important textures?
Why would never interest in model,flight dynamics?
No texture are not at the level FS2004,they are at the level of FS95!
From what I see on the screenshots this is utter nonsense!

I take it English is not your main language by means of your fs95 remark or your confused which is the most current platform and what abilities it offers
yes textures are important, like the gazelle the model lacked modern day capabilities, from the 2 texture folders from the S55 someone sent to me the other day, I was asked to do a repaint, i noticed there was no spec mapping again, and no bump mapping again and all textures are in a outdated format, I have question all the hype about the advertising of HD and realistic textures that are on the product page
making a outdated format and talking it up, from what ive seen, its an expensive fs9 or older portover, for nearly 21USD its a little incomplete by early fsx standards
no your right, Im not having a go at you as a person, only the product
just your posts are somewhat confusing as you are going backwards several versions of it being fs95 rather than fs2004
and Cees' post is somewhat defending the product, (correct me if im wrong Cees)
hence why I questioned your native tongue

Or you just don't get his sense of humour....
true..........
so do a lot of good quality fs9 products but that doesnt make them quality fsx products, they make them expensive payware portovers as they lack all the platforms full capabilities

My impression, being in communication with the modeller, is that this model was developed from scratch and is not a portover. I hope I'm right.
I haven't bought it, as I'm waiting for the Westland Whirlwind(s), but it appears to be a good mesh with good flight model, but with BMP format textures and lacking bump and specular materials (I note this was the case with the Gazelle, which I did purchase)?
If this is correct, would users regards it as a good all-round model for FSX/P3D if the textures were DDS and bump and specular maps were included?

You know how it is like in humans!
Everyone has their qualities and disadvantages!
The only question is with whom,want to socialize.
