Nemeth Designs Aerospatiale SA2 Samson released

Ryan..

I'm not a pilot except in fsx, and even there, i have never rally flown choppers before. but a i have stated in this thread, your SA-2 is perfect for me. I prefer it over any of the other Nemeth designs as its perfect for an entry level chopper.. The only annoyance i've found with it is that i cant seem to fly over 7 or 8000 feet without the windows going opaque, even with de-icing on.. but thats just an annoyance.. it doesnt detract from the enjoyment of the chopper itself.. You folks did an awesome job.. many thanks..
Pam
 
You folks got me curious, especially as i looked at the samson in profile and was reminded of another Roger Dean creation; his ornithopter.. So, i dug this up.. the resemblences are uncanny.. perhaps the entirety of Avatar was taken from a roger dean vision.. Take a look and you'll see what i mean. the ornithopter is at the botom of the image..

Good grief Ken, you're a Yes fan too ? We're all 'coming out' now. :)

I had the pleasure of meeting Rick Wakeman when he was recording Myths and Legends of King Arthur etc . Even had a pint and a game of darts with him.

Would you be willing to share with us what you have in store for future work that involves beating the air into submission. I have bought a couple of your specimens (EC-135 and MD902) and I am very pleased with you work. Although I am hoping you'll take a step backwards in the era to bring us some (in my opinion) finer and more unique whirlybirds.
....Some of them I would really enjoy,

Enstrom 480 http://www.google.com/images?um=1&h...opter&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

Funny you should mention the Enstrom, I did my training in an F28F so I would love to produce one of those for FS, which going from a 28F to a 480 is not much of a strech in development, but in relation to sharing what we have planned, I can give you what's on the cards, some may make it to the development stage some may not due to material gathering issues.

Already in production

AS350
A109 power (joint Milviz)
Chinook (joint Milviz)

Planned 2011

BK117 - and possibly EC145
EC135 addon pack

Much past that I would hate to speculate :)
 
Thanks for the response Ryan. It appears you've got your plate full for a while, in that if reading your posting correctly a possible three are either far in the works for release this year or shortly thereafter. I recall reading about the Chinook but, others are news to me as I don't read all the posts.
....I'm real impressed with the EC-135. And I'm especially impressed with the MD902. My kudos sir.

For the past week I contemplated spending some of my allowance on you SA-2. Then the Iris frenzy smacked me upside the head and I had to indulge. I got so wrapped up in that subject I felt possessed. So much that I forgot about the Samson. Until late last night that is. I was reminded of it while talking to Warchild on Teamspeak and it sounded as if she was enjoying it. Unknowingly to her having fun she made me think about the SA-2 again. I picked it up last night. And I still have some allowance left over ;)
.....I took the Samson up for a bit and had a ball. Nice job!! I enjoy the animations and FDE friendliness as it flies fairly easily.

More feedback later on as I have to spend more time with it. But very happy with it thus far.

By the way, why is topic not a sticky as like the rest of the new releases?


For the fogging, increase ambient temps as needed. *Note Altitude*

Probably because the topic went south there for a bit as to why it's not stickied. Thanks for that pic, makes it a lot easier to explain than text, I actually grabbed it to attach to an email about that very thing :)
 
Is it possible to make the monitors in the cockpit a little more bright in night conditions? I find them very hard to read sometimes.

The thing with the mousewheel was a hard nut for me. I had to ask around before i got that tip from someone. So i had the same problem like most people with fog on the windshield in some circumstances. But now i have clear sight.

I think the Samson has some potential to get updates. Maybe a hook and a winch that is working. Or missed i something, i cant get it work?

This switch "Dome" in the overhead panel is that one without a function? I dont see anything happen if its clicked.

Ok i found out that i can put cabin light in the aircraft.cfg and turn it on and out with that switch.
Not bad at all.

That was my thoughts on an explanation too. Just makes more sense.
.....I also hope to see an update to fix a few things in the future. I hate having to do things manually ;)
 
NICE... Looking forward to them

Funny how much I fly this helo...i'm not into the modern (glass) cockpits but this thing is COOL :wavey:

PS Glade to read this about the AS350... and others
 
Just out of curiosity, anyone know why they attached Aerospatiale to the title? Afterall, this is a fictional aircraft or did I miss the latest issue of Janes Defence Weekly? Not that it ultimately matters, but just curious as to the origins, if anyone on here were to know that.

Anyway, considering this after the holidays as I really dug the flick Avatar and especially liked their various birds displayed on the movie.

Because all the best lies have a small foundation in truth? It's become the norm in movies these days, to use not so much product placement as name placement for endorsement purposes. Haven't seen Avatar, but I suppose there's a credit for Eurocopter/EADS at the end, somewhere?

Or it might be that Aerospatiale `ceased to be` in corporate terms back in 2000, so suing would be a waste of time, yet the name is familiar to many?

Well they're French so obviously it's the kind of dirty behaviour you'd expect of the continentals. I mean no American company's products would be used for the attempted destruction of a peaceful indigenous population...

Thank you for your understanding. I am sure your superior level of film watching qualifies you to make such value judgements. Is it because you are a professional reviewer, or because you don't have a life?:salute:

Absolutely. And the peaceful indigenous populations of the Australian continent so benefitted from your convict ancestors arrival, such that the government only recently apologised for the attempted genocide.
Obviously if you had the use of such aerial machines, you'd have made a better job of it, but you don't buy French. Austrian, American and Swedish maybe.
