UH-1 for FSX

I saw a picture of a payware UH-1 Huey for FSX but haven't a clue as to who is producing/produced it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
 
There's one by Abacus currently available. I have the 1wk demo and won't be buying. Aerosoft are doing a more in-depth one which looks very nice, but isn't available yet (or, probably, for some time!)
 
Thanks, I beleive now it was the Aerosoft one I saw. Hope it comes off of hold status; their work is very detailed.
 
By the looks of it Aerosoft have the better model and Dodosim should have the better flying dynamics......maybe they should work hand in hand on this one? :amen:
 
I really looking forward to a native FSX Huey. I've been flying this ported UH-1B around 'Nam. It flies OK, but as you can see, it has the usual rotor/cloud issues. Oh well, it's better than a poke in the eye...
 
That's not a B... it's a D or an H (compare the doors on the side with photos of a B... ;))

Whose is it? I tried porting in a MEDEVAC B and most of the model was missing in SP2.

Ian, I dont think there are any Bs around ?, I didnt find any usable ones when I began developing mine, most developers tend to opt for the long fuselage variant or the twin engine types. Cant remember the exact variants I'd planned, but Army and USMC were two of them, a B and an E ?, must dig that old project out again LOL, it'd be nice to get it going with out the poly limits for FS9 that I originally had.

I'd previously been using this model. I think that I got it at Simviation?

It looks like Abacus' to me (I don't think it is Dean Baunton's), and it was posted on Simviation a couple of times, but was removed both times because it was a payware item posted to a freeware site. I think the demo and single version Abacus has is a slick or a medevac, but the armed version was in the Chopper Havoc(?) package, which has apparently been replaced by the Military Helicopters 2 package?

As far as B's and C's, there have been a few around (Lynn Rogers, Richard Frady, TheLZ) but I don't think any of them port over to FSX well (if at all).

TheLZ's B model Dust-Off is the one I tried, which wasn't successful.

The new Abacus one looks nice from the outside, but has a very irritating looping startup sound in spot view and the panel isn't that good.

These screenies were taken back in 2007, can't remember who the developer was. I don't have it in my current FSX hangar.....I'll hold out for a native fsx Huey (with a good vc) :)

Yep, my bad... It is a D model. I looked up the readme and it was ported by Eric Buchmann, and I'm pretty sure I got it at Simviation. The screenie was shot in SP1, and it worked fine except for the usual ported cloud issue. It will not work in SP2/Accel. If I remember right, it was pulled from Simviation because it was originally FS9 payware...
 
That's the Abacus one. Does it have the horrible looped engine start effect sound when looking at it from outside that the current one does?

There is still a Huey Gunship based on the Dean Baunton model at Simviation which isn't too bad, I was just testing it. TheLZ one isn't as bad as I thought it was either - the big problem with that one is the way the spinning blades are done... See screenie below. Many of the gauges are also FS98 vintage and FSX doesn't support them, but that's resolvable the old fashioned way if I really wanted to (i.e. put new ones in!)

dang, been using this one for awhile now, wasn't aware it was a payware theft, bummer. Works fine in FSX accell SP2 for me though with the usual prop issues and has a great exterior, but the VC needs some work (why I guess I didn't realize it was a payware bird)

I'm dying for a native FSX detailed bird also. was waiting for the DoDosim one, but doubt I will support that one since they stopped development to work on the 206 (which I have no interest in)

Sure wish I had Deane's huey source in Gmax, we'd be flying it right about now if so! :amen:
 
Well if I can get someone with FSDSV3.51 and knows all the FSX texturing and animations, I can deliver a UH1H for you all. Best of all, will be freeware:ernae: So who's going to step up to the challenge?:wiggle:
