I think Liberty City needs more different helicopters as there are many helipads in and around its real counterpart New York City.





The following progress is already made on my Police Bell 407:

• Exterior and interior model converted from gmax to Zmodeler2
  
• Unneeded things are deleted which were important for Flight Simulator 2004
  
• Windscreen fixed (wasn't that good shaped)
  
• Half of the Dummies are added
  
• Texture template created (but will be improved as the exterior will be new mapped)
  
• Objects detatched and attached
  
• Main collision modell (Rotors and main body)
  
• Chassis_L2 Model (need some tuning here and there)

What I have to do:

• Detailed "virtual cockpit" for flying with camera hacks
  
• Create and apply a bumpmap
  
• Light emmissive objects as navigation lights and instrument lighting
  
• Chassis_L1 Models
  
• Collisions on some parts
  
• Create working landinglights (very important for me )
  
• Make a good paintjob for the LCPD
  
• Testing and tweaking...

Legend:

• done
  
• in progress
  
• in a very early stage
  
• not begun yet

And what's planned after that?

Actual Overview:



I'll make a civil / tour version of this helicopter too which will replace the Tour Maverick. It will offer many extras like changing antennas and multiple paintjobs
Maybe this helicopters will be carcols compatible, but only with one colour / reflection colour! There are going to be some cool paintjobs with it anyway

After that I'll maybe make some other models that I've got in the backhand

Full credits for the free source go to Alan Devins! He made the mesh for Flight Simulator 2004

GREAT!
Finally some more choppers in GTA4. Perhaps some more airtraffic would be nice 2 ;-)
Can't wait to see the first results.

[EduardKoeleJuck]

Looks promising.

[[Delta ²k5]]

Thank you! more airtraffic would be nice, but I don't know how at the moment

Here is one more shot:



The interior

stay tuned!

[GTAdedan]

Looks sharp

[lowridincrew]

Damn good, Looks low poly but high quality, how many Polys?

[Rob.Zombie]

Looks nice. I love the model.

~ 26k polys, without low level detail, by now But there will be many details on the exterior (like antennas, navigationlights, beacons, strobes, landinglights...) and interior (like knobs, switches, instruments...) in the future, so the polycount will go up a bit. but I won't touch the main mesh anymore
- thanks

[Timske]

[zzcool]

[UltimateGTR]

Any progress on this nice helicopter?

At the moment there is nothing new that is worth to show. I overworked the tailcone (the part where the tailrotor sits) and the tailrotor itself. also i've placed some dummies. RL is hitting me hard at the moment too... I've some exams in the next months and beside that I'm working. I promise I'll finish this helicopter. but not in the next weeks

Cant wait! Will be good for SA/VC too...

We'll see... but I won't promise anything now, because the modifications for SA would be really heavy First the IV version is only planned.. as a Police version (With slidedoors on the back [you can see the guidrails on the screenshots] and the searchlight) and a tourmav version with normal doors and many liveries wich will change automatically (will be easier and nicer as with normal carcols).

The problems which I have at the moment are the dummies... I try that the doors will open and close like the real ones, and that is not like normal car doors. they open like something between normal and lambo doors. Also the other problem is the landing light. It will be focused about 45° to the ground. It will function as a normal headlight. Well... thats the plan.

Sounds incredible

I can't wait for this.

[EZ2009]

any updates on this awesome helicopter as i cant wait...

[[Delta ²k5]]

I'm sorry for the lack of updates in the last time, but since I applied windows 7 to my rig I can't get Zmodeler2 to work. I know that it's because of the missing C++ 2005 files, but I cannot install them. Everytime I try the installation is aborting. The only way I could make updates is on my notebook with windows vista, but it's a pain because Zmodeler creates graphic errors So be patient, I try to fix my problem asap

EDIT: Problem sloved, Zmod is running again! some pictures will follow of things I hadn't shown yet

EDIT 2: Pictures!

The fixed tail:



Without tail:



Cockpit (needs some switches and better instruments) :
