Good Easter

[Guest Jan]

Hi Dan.Looks great.That would make Georg very happy I think :)Here is a link to a site with drawings.You'll also find dimensions.Thanks for your contributions to FlyII.Janhttp://www.suurland.com/blueprints.php?cat...y=12&order=namehttp://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly/dfdg/bannerjh.jpg

Hi Dan,that is really good news.Jan already gave you a link to a wonderful site. I compared the dimensions with those of the Eurocopter handbook and they are ok for a BO105 CBS. Your model looks like a CBS with the very small third window - the shorter CB version (cabin 4,30 m against 4,55 for the CBS) has only 2 windows at the side.I already copied several pages out of "some" docs and look for the CD where I have sampled outside views, details and inside shots (instruments). The screenshot shows that you already did some "inside" work, I will look for dimensions of the panel, etc.Please contact me over AVSIM and I will mail you the docs. Please tell me if you need other things, though the helo I am flying in as a crew member (not a pilot) is a BK117 I'll try to get if for you if possible.Thanks a lot again, all next steps via email, that is the better way.Some pics I have at hand without searching as a "preview":http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/112459.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/112460.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/112461.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/112462.jpgRegardsGeorg HeliFLYer EDDWPlease be patient if you have to wait for an answer. From time to time I have to stay at work for more than 24 h (and often really work 18 to 20 h of that time), then fall asleep like dead. Just to explain that it is NOT lacking interest, as you might understand!

Hi Jan,thank you for your hint, that is really a wonderful site - I bookmarked it at once!And now as spring is coming you Norwegian people seem to leave your caverns and go out to hunt bears - and post at AVSIM!Ok, ok - with that my chance has gone to ask you some questions if I go into the Bo105 project at summer time. Or not?All the best to you, Jan. I hope all is ok with you and your family.Best regardsGeorg

[Guest Jan]

GeorgI'm still in my cavern.Spring is a bit late up here.But I'm one of those friendly one's,so the bears have nothing to fear ;)A BO105 project would be nice,yes.But right now the F2FD team is realy busy with the other helo projects.And they are coming along nicely,belive me.Hope you are still signed up as a beta tester.We'll have to come back to the 105 later.If you can provide photos,info and sounds.I have always wanted to fly one of those.Take care down in Bremen.JanBTW,if you have not seen this video of the BO105,here is a link.It's in German,so you should have no problems;)Unbelivable what it can do.http://tvtotal.prosieben.de/components/vid...band.html?mode=http://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly/dfdg/bannerjh.jpg

Hi Jan,some time ago we had a BO105 as a backup helo for some days and I had the chance do have some flights with it. I really enjoyed it - ok, to be honest, the BK117 is the much better solution for serving patients. But feeling how agile and responsible this smaller helo is, that undisturbed view outside .. Actually my internet connection is rather slow. Next month I am on broadband, then I'll have a look into that BO105 video!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Back to FLY: if I understand right, you/you and F2FD are planning to create a BO105 after your actual work is finished? :-)That would be a really professional solution, much better than that I thought of, that would have been a naive trial to do something because there's nobody other outside who does the job.Of course, I offer all my help regarding docs, photos, etc.There are still some BOs flying in Germany although most of them are changed against EC135 - as the police BO105 CBS above, I shot these photos some time before they got out of duty.And regarding Betatest - we already did it one time, if you were satisfied with my work, you know my eMail!CheersGeorg

[Guest Jan]

Hi Georg.To clear things up,there has not been any discussion in the F2Fd team regarding the BO105.That was just my personal thoughts.We work very freely in the group.It has to be so,because of the enormous work to create an aircraft for FlyII.If there isn't a personal interest or relationship to the aircraft,it would be hard to get finished.The first problem is the 3D model.It's a freeware model from the net,without animations,And not prepared for Fly.Also the number of polygons needs to be lowered.Not sure if it can be used,or if any 3D artist want to convert it.If we get a good model,I will be interestedin working on a BO105.Or the BK117 for that matter.That is the status right now.Give me a hint when you get a broadband.You might get some helos ;)Take care.Jan http://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly/dfdg/bannerjh.jpg

[Guest HeliFLYer]

Thank you Jan,for your explanations which made clear for me how to difficult it might be to start with such a complex model as a beginner - when it is not clear whether even your F2FD profs could use it. So we have to wait until further decisions are made :-hmmm Your helo-offer (and enclosed screenshot of the S61N?) is great - they promised me to switch me on broadband at the beginning of May, I'll contact you immediately! :-)CheersGeorg

[Guest danieletona]

Hi all,for the model I believe there are no problems.It is not completely ended, there is still some job to do. And as all the other models, I place it available of whom wants to convert it for FLY!Dan

[Guest Fly II Pilot]

Steve,I don't think they have your actual e-mail address unless you responded to them. I setup an automatic e-mail forwarder that takes anything you receive through your f2fdesign address and sends it to your actual e-mail. I can disable that if you want, and turn it into a regular e-mail account.I haven't received any nasty e-mails lately but I did get something about sharing a bank account info. I can't believe that people fall into this trap...Take care,http://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly/dfdg/banneraa.jpg

[Guest Steve Brown]

No problem Alex :-) The Goonie that was sending bad emails to me was caught and banned by his ISP. I think legal proceedings are taking place against him/her from what I understand.The person Emailing me from F2FDesign website is very Confused/Simple or their lift doesnt go to the top floor :-lol as they are asking something I wouldnt do for them for free by myself, even if I could. It caused my face to look like a Bulldog chewing a wasp for a while, but Im not bothered now :-hmmm All the best mate, no need to make any changes.While Im thinking about it, when you add lighting effects in 3ds max, can this be transported into Fly2? Jarno/Giorgio or Dan, do you know? For example, to add a glow for a lighthouse, or night lighting?If anyone could help me, please post here. Thanks guys :-wave Steve[divalign=center]http://www.wrexhamspace.org/sig.jpg][/divNASA ATX Graduatehttp://www.wrexhamspace.org

Hi Steve,I believe that the only away to position the lights is through the file ELT.In the document HowTo-Models.pdf is written there:10.3.6 Light list recordsIf we had this to do over, the lights and cameras would be extensions, rather than a requiredpart of the file. Oh well, just ignore them if you don
