I already postet this on gta4-mods but I'll paste it here too

''Looks good.I think that engine vents would look better if you would cut out them and create the meshes rather then using normal map, the same goes for the fuel cap and housing. Btw I hope you noticed that the rotor shadows are missing.''

the missing shadows are caused by using vehglass as material for the moving rotor but I think that's okay... maybe I'll change it to some other... Also I didn't cut out and re-model anything to keep the polycount on a low level (less then 2 MB) for this release. There may come another version whith liverys, so I gotta change the materials again and that way I can't use the normal maps anymore...

now my comment is here, too thanks for your suggestions

Just make the rotors like the original helicopters. They use two materials and two meshes for the rotors. I think by using other shader other than the vehglass the rotors may not be breakable.

Well I'm fine with them as they are for the moment, I may change it in an update (maybe there will be a version with different liveries. For now I started a new one which is on it's way... but It'll take much time as there are many things to fix.

It is a replacement for the Swift this time as I found a really good looking Sikorsky S76C, but every polygon is doubled and fliped which causes strange shadowing issues (I don't even want to say what this means to polycount...)

I already fixed the main body in one day of work... The other problem: this helicopter is made out of 1450 objects! Every switch an circuit breaker is an indipendend object... also the windscreen and instruments are splitted in numerous objects... anyway: It will fly! The model itselfs is just great.
