MV 407 Released

Well....all I can say is......AWESOME! Love this as much as I thought I would. The 407 has always been a fav of mine. The sound file for this blows any helo sound I've ever heard....away. top notch attention to detail and from a painters stand point....love the bake! :wiggle::jump:

Of course TG probably said the same thing about the 737-200....

this is is an outstandingly fine flying chopper!

Cheers. Tom
 
Does anyone also have the Dodo and can compare? I love the Dodo. Pretty much made me abandon any other helo, but the graphics are getting pretty dated (never were a strong suit), and I don't fly it much anymore. This one tempts me. Does it model VRS? Translational lift?
 
Hi,Just a small question here, but has the pilot been modeled to the correct size? He seems a bit small compared to a real shot of the aircraft.

Hmm... yea, looks like the proportions are a bit off.. or maybe it's the angle? Heard it's coming with 4 paints.. a bit handful, but I guess if the paint-kit is good, more paints will come later.. especially when Jeansy is the one who did them. Speaking of, that blue paint is really nice!
 
pilot definitely looks undersized. i recall their ch47d also had a tiny pilot.

kw's pilots here look about right. i've been on a b407 and it's not big side to side.

Ha! I flew that very same -58D tonight, but with the doors off w/hellfire's because that is what I see most of around the stage fields.

The MV 407 looks really really nice. I agree that the pilot looks underscale, but, the rest of the bird looks very well modeled. I am going to have to give it a close look to see if I want to pick it up. Keep those screenshots coming please.
 
agree, mv407 looks good and if the boss allows, i'd get it. and i know exactly which repaint i'll do.

just hope mv has a streak of being perfectionist like Dino with his jets, to address the pilot scaling and other issues. just a mdl issue, texture sheets can stay the same.

I doubt it, because there are no 737 airtankers... There is however, a firefighting 407. And its made a name for itself here in California. Guess we don't get one in the sim world. Some of us prefer mission oriented aircraft to fly, because there are very few times I feel like sitting down for 30 minutes and pretending a flew a corporate executive to a nearby city for a power lunch... Thrilling as that may be...
