Nemeth EC-120B Colibri

Wow, thanks for thew HU. My fav FS9 heli comes to FSX. I still use the FS9 version, it's one of a handful of ports.
 
Geez and I didn't get a message from Peter about this:173go1:Notheless, it's another chopper to add to my FSX collection:ernae:
 
Can't really afford the Bird Dog or Lizzie, just too many budget concerns being unemployed yet. Was feeling down a bit, that I have been waiting for a long time for those two to be released, and not able to afford them today.

This is a very nice surprise from ND, and one I've been waiting for too. The price is pretty good, and well, I'll get the most use out of it anyway.

Thank you Nemeth brothers and Merry Christmas. :applause:


EDIT: I've always liked the looks of the EC135 and EC120. This is a very nice upgrade to FSX. I think very good for the price. Very tasteful bump effects.
Plus it appears at this time looking at the paintkit, all of the old FS9 repaints will work. Just need to be converted from .bmp to .dds
 
is this a fsx rebuild or a updated port over?

i hope its not the later of the 2

can some shed some light? bump mapping? spec maps?

Uh, I guess you didn't read my post. Is this picture proof enough? :icon_lol:

I second that!!

The FS9 version was a joy to paint, did several for my old VA.

This one will be the same. Really nice layout on the paintkit.

Converting the FS9 repaints is a snap. No flipping or mirroring. I already converted a RCMP repaint from .bmp to .dds this morning for the Police version. :icon_lol:
 
NP! Hope this means your going to get the paint brushes out? Love your repaints! :jump:

im trying to think of a reason not to get this, i need to save money as ive just bought a new car

but im struggling to keep the visa in the wallet as i want to do a few paints for this
 
Well, the nav lights aren't working. Looks like they intended to add their own effects possibly.

To activate the lights, go to the aircraft.cfg, [Lights] section and look for lights that end in "_nd"

light.0 = 3, -14.40, -4.36, 0.95, fx_navred_nd ,
light.1 = 3, -14.40, 4.36, 0.95, fx_navgre_nd ,

And edit them to:

light.0 = 3, -14.40, -4.36, 0.95, fx_navred ,
light.1 = 3, -14.40, 4.36, 0.95, fx_navgre ,

And the default light effects will be used, activating the nav lights.

Or use the A2A 3D Lights, like I do. :wavey:
 
That with the lights is a pain - I used lights from the BO105... same difference - you get the lights on in the end. I guess there'll be an update soon anyway. Bigger bugbear was that for two og the EC120 types, the aircraft.cfg file was without linebreaks.

ive forgotton how horrible the paintkit is for this thing and how sloppy it is, it looks like it was put together by a child with a half arsed approach
 
Oohhh I wouldn't say half assed. It's a standard Nemeth paintkit with all the detail necessary.

Here's one I did for FS9 and just converted this morning to dds for fsx. I added spec layers AND the fresnel ramps - which the brothers forgot or don't know about.

Metallic black has something I think...
 
I never had the FS9 version. Are there supposed to be radar altimeters in the panels? On a couple panels it looks like an open spot. I noticed there is a radar altimeter gauge in the shift+1 pop-ups.
 
Hi Chris - I know I go on about VCs but is this one any good - some of the screen shots show the main panel as not being rounded on the edges? I trust you - is it as good as say the EC-135?
