Bell UH-1 Huey - VC and sliding side doors

[Ericson]

Hello ! i've made some improvements for Jordan Moore's UH-1 Commercial Tan :-rotor model using his UH-1 SDK. I've added simple VC ( no gauges ) and i've switched side doors to landing lights so they can be open during flight :D I've also changed main panel ( minor mods )... Shots showing modifications are below :-)if you are interested in this model/panel just e-mail me ( [email protected] ) and i'll send you back zip fileregardsEricson

Excellent job! Expect an E-mail from me when I get home tonight. Any chance you might be able to model an underslung load for it? Fire fighting Bambi bucket, rescue hoist, or even just some cargo crates??? Just a thought.CheersAlun

Cool, I've been waiting for a Huey with a VC. E-mail sent, thanks!

Is there any chance you could redesign the textures for the nose. One of my big pet peeves with Jordan't otherwise fabulous Huey is that the entire front of the aircraft must be the same color, from top of the windshield to the botton of the chin. 99% of the Hueys in the world have a black glare shield over the top of the nose, while the section between the chin windows is the color of the fusilage. This is impossible to create on Jordan's model, and seems like it would be pretty easy to fix.

Excellent additions to Jordan's wonderful Huey!I've been repainting Jordan's model for a member of the A Company, 158th Assault Helicopter Batallion, 101st Airborne Division, "Screaming Eagle". He sent me pics and asked if I could make Jordan's helo look like the one he was in in Vietnam.I also second the request for texture files for the "generic color" areas. I'd also like to paint the underside of the horizontal stabilizer separately from the top (in the "Screaming Eagle's" A Company Huey, the tops are red, but not the bottoms).Is it also possible to add two light fixtures to the body or does Jordan need to do that? These are for the nav lights that go above the cargo doors. See attached photos (note blue arrow).The light fixtures not only match the pic, but will help to "contain" some of the nav light effect. Currently, half of the lights' spheres show up inside the cargo area because they pass through the skin of the model. Moving the lights out without fixtures makes them look like they're floating bulbs.Thanks!

Sling loads would be a terrific addition to the helo's in general.... could we have one with a 155 mm too !?? :-) :-outta Francois :-wave[table border=0 cellpadding=10 cellspacing=0][tr][td valign=bottom" align="center]"At home in the wild"[/td][td valign=bottom" align="center][link:avsim.com/alaska/alaska_051.htm|Don's Alaskan Bush Charters]"Beavers Lead the Way"[/td][td valign=bottom" align="center][link:www.avsim.com/vfr_center/mainpages/vfr_flights_main_page.htm]VFR Flight Center]"Looking Good Outside"[/td][/tr][tr][td valign=top" align="center]http://avsim.com/hangar/air/bfu/logo70.gif[/td][td valign="top" align="left" colspan=2]http://www.fssupport.com/images/moose2.gif[/td][tr][/table]________________________Francois A.

I'll second the idea for an underslung load.. that would be a cool addtion... As for the 155mm Francois.. Why beat around the bush (no punn intended) why not go all out for twin mini-guns either side!!!http://www.avsim.com/vfr_center/avsim_sig.jpg
