Thanks, but it'll be a long way to ingame status... I'll remake most textures (since the ones now are really lowres). I also planned to make the 2 small doors "working" too as fall off parts (one like the the signs on taxis and the other maybe as a boot). Maybe [but only maybe!] I add a 3D engine with a bonnet on one side. but if its too much work I'll let it go. next Step for me will be adding the self illuminating instruments in the cockpit and the navigation lights on the tail. It also still needs the landing lights under the nose (yes, lights is correct... there are two!)

I'll progress when I've some time. Atm are exams in front of my door

BUMP: Here are some Teasers of my other projects that are in progress or will be in progress by time.

Erickson S-64F Skycrane made by "Six Paths of Pain" :



I think I'll convert this even before the 407 (The mesh has a better quality as it's made for GTA)

Boeing Vertol CH47 Chinook (Open source design) :



I've to remake the whole left side of this helicopter as theres a big hole in it (I don't know why the person who made it not mirrored the other side... the only difference is the door...)

MD 500e (Open source design) :



Nice mesh... but only a small helicopter... so I'll do it later.

UH-60 Blackhawk (Open source design):



Many parts to attach and delete... so this will took much time to finnish...

I also have some other free, open source design helicopters on my harddisk, but they are far away from the release.

anyway... this thread isn't dead yet... only RL sucks.

Guns-A-Go-Go Time... Progress: functional landing lights added (you can see them under the cockpit), basic materials set for later development, began work on the interior, some mesh fixed (there where some flipped polys...) Things attached / detatched for easier handling, modified cockpit windows (the two pillars in the middle were too big)



RL picture of how they looked like:



only four were build and three of them were lost in vietnam. The last one is stored in a museum

[zzcool]

this is looking good perfect helicopters for this game

and a blackhawk

Amazing helis Delta! You deserve a medal for them! LOL

But I got a question! Where's the yacht that you showed on Picture Post & Commentary? LOL I want to shoot on it with your helis! LOL (Sexy time, anyone? )

EDIT: I know you didn't finished but I LOVED IT!

The yacht is also in the works, but there isn't any progress atm. I don't work constantly on one model as I'm learning how to make everything right for IV. Also I'm making some experiments like what happens when I use a dish as the moving rotor part with an transparent texture on it (like at the Bell). This is very time consuming...

[Costar]

These heli pix are sick Delta
I am wondering tho, where is your version for *hardened criminal* ? (Lil Jacob & I need custom heli for.. hmm, special purposes)

That skycrane loox similar to the one in BOGT .. I havent playt it yet, just few missions in TLAD so far. I still wonder why R* puts specialty vehs ingame that are useless other than stictly for mode of transportation only, like towtruck in TLAD. Trashtruck in IV can only open close rear comp during mission, cant even lift/lower forx on forklift. Atleast in SA you could lift/lower vehs on the towtruck, you could control shovel on dozer etc.. mehhh.

Anyways when you finish these should be able to put in EFLC like other IV models
As for a yacht I did not see this.. I thought it lacking that R* put in a HUGE tug boat (again useless) but no yacht & IMO it would be nice IF they'd put in a ferry boat, you have subway & taxi to take you places on land but no *taxi* service for water .. You could get on as pedestrian only or drive a vehicle onboard and ride to destinations

[[Delta ²k5]]

Thanks Costar! Yeah, the Skycrane looks a bit like the TBOGT Skylift, but the TBOGT one seems to had an accident

Well, I think that you'll like the ACH-47A "Guns-A-Go-Go" Armored Chinook. I try to make a collision model, that you can stand in it (maybe only at low speeds as the player will fall on higher speeds). Also this one will have the weapons of the normal Anhiliator. In RL this heli had some equipment aboard as you can see here:



I think I'll only do the version with gatling gun for now. Also I won't make the mg's on the sides and the rear as they would be useless in IV, but maybe I'll put the two rearseats on the ramp, so that you can shoot from behind... we'll see.

later.

Can you maybe make the Boeing Vertol CH47 Chinook enterable to walk around inside? Would be epic fun.

Oh well, forget it, impossible. Well, it is possible, but it wouldnt have any sense, because you fall into ragdoll mode if you walk on a Chopper.

[goin-god]

This is looking really cool so far.

Let me correct you: It's an ACH-47A, not a CH47 And the Back will be enterable as it's the only way to get in the Cockpit (The Chinook has no doors at the cockpit, only in the cargo bay). I know that the player is going in ragdoll mode, but as I wrote:

Also if the helicopter stands still in the air you can walk arround, so in multiplayer for example you could sit first on the "rear seats" and when the chopper hovers you can go to the open holes in the bodyshell and shoot out of them

And to goin-god: Thanks!

Yw

Maybe I'm not understanding but will this Chinook allow you and 3 friends to fly in it or is it 2 seater only ?

I've not seen one up close it wasnt @ that airshow I went to a few yrs back w/ Family. They had lots of other stuff, a HUGE transport plane, a sort of rescue-like heli, an Apache, a single engine jet, some vintage & stunt planes n stuff.

There is actually an army reserve a few mins from me, there isnt much air traffic in this area anymore after ppl made a fuss, one night a bunch of Apache filled the sky, I thought it was cool! Ppl flooded 911 panicking so.. It was a training exercise ..
I've also seen a sort of std transport copter fly over and a few Chinook, they have awesome sound!!

I've not really cared much for annhilator because his guns are fixed ATA, I mean you COULD land in the street and try to *bounce-hover* to spin around shootin @ ground targets but I like a targeting system of some kind. R* had a jewel w/ lock-on rockets in SA, now we dont even have rockets on aircraft @ all

I think someone made a mod tho, was post to put the buzzard in IV w/ rockets ?? Ill have to see if I can find that ..

The one I make will have 4 "seats": 2 at the cockpit and (maybe) 2 on the rear ramp (without a model... only the dummie for seats ) so it can hold 4 persons. The real ACH-47A had only 2 seats. The cargobay is full of ammo boxes on both sides, so there's no room for jump seats. on a normal Chinook (like the CH-47D) you can hold up to around 30 soldiers on jump seats. Here's a picture:



The red ones are the jump seats. They can be removed to transport cargo like HMMWV's

Hello Delta ²k5
As i am a huge helicopter fan and agree that there must be more helicopters in 'IV' i was just wondering what the progress of this mod is?
It seems to be on a pause as of late, and I'm really loving that ACH-47A.

Just wanted to really know if there were any updates as of late or have you become really busy?

I had some computering and rl problems in the last time, so I took a break from modding. No I've got a new display ( LG Flatron E2340T ) as my old one ( a 21" CRT, created in 1995 ) broke down last monday. Before that I had my final examinations and took a vacation, so there wasn't any room for the helicopters. I think I'll make some progress in the next weeks again Also great to hear that some people are interested in helicopters. So keep this thread allive as I don't want to make doubleposts I'll show you now a fresh teaser of the Ericson Skycrane after fixing some parts:



What has been made? Well... The steps to the cockpit has been fixed, the tail is breakable, the rear cocpit window is longer, small fixes...

Also I'm planing to export the 407 soon to test something (the rotordish...) If It's working as I hope I can make it on every helicopter I like... If not I've to think about it again
