Sweet- finally a decent 117!

Please post your repaint in the Announcements forums when it is complete natas- I am looking forward to it

lol nah me first trolly

update shots this one is going to take alittle to workout good so far this is photo texture of the wellington rescue but real ruff to me but i could have been looking at pixels to long
id real like it if there where more out there to re paint this then we can like pick witch one is the best all rounder ,,,like the door i put in this is also its on varation and has atc call signs etc ,,well i think so thats what i asked it to do you just never know
anyway this is the best shot at the moment


anyway i dont think this one is going to be quick to upload not until im happy with it and im not really a fan of this model design it needs more detail and a vc but its a start

WOW i made it to 150post gee i talk to much well heres some more screenys
i lov to see more people out there try this re paint as im using fs repaint and i really dont like the way it looks ive seen far better paint jobs out there and i lov to see these done properly



just had alittle go with otago rescue with photo real look intersting doesnt it

well these are still not finsh to my liking so well see
cheers mike .....

Thanks Squirrel, it sure handles better than the 117 I currently have.

This one is nice and steady, holds a real beaut low level hover. Though I find the fact that you change seats when looking left or right in the 2D view a bit strange. The photo real interior is a nice touch.

Really looking forward to Mikes updated version.

I must read Jimmy's post and try to teach myself how to repaint.

I finally got a chance to test the MBB BK-117 today and it is a nice machine to fly and as stated nice to hover at a low altitude Im finally back on the net at home so see ya round from time to time

hi

your repaints look really nice i would like to download both the westpac rescue one and the lion trust foundation could you please tell me where i can download these from or could you please email them to me at captain_hamishharvey@hotmail.com and have you thought about doing the tranzlink rescue bk117 it is a silver one and it was at warbirds over wanaka 2004
i am not sure where exactly it is based but it looks really really NICE lol

thanks

I finally got around to downloading the AirMed BK-117 today, is your Westpac Rescue repaint available to download anyware yet Mike?

It will look great against the REAL NZ Wellington scenery

hi

i downloaded the airmed bk117 and tested it out and it is not a very good model cause the doors don't open and does'nt have the best sound and does'nt fly like the bk117 but it will still look very nice in westpac colours

couldnt send it to trolly as mail box is full so here ya go i did nt like what i did they are photo real textures not that good up close anyway
download here
just back up cfg and drop new cfg and textures into airmed aircraft folder back up your cfg !!!
mike
ps i really dont like this model and my paint job is not that good at all


EDIT h you got 30days to download from the 26/9/06

Thanks for the link Mike, I downloaded it and installed it and can't get it to show up.

I don't really like the AirMed model either, I think it is the same as the hovecontrol Canturbery Westpac Rescue one... it looks ugly and doesn't handle the way I like it.

Hey Capt Hamish that BK-117 you mentioned is the Otago Rescue Helicopter Im unsure if it is still painted silver but they may use it for there back up machine when ZK-HUP is away for servicing ZK-HJK was covering for it a few months back hope this answers your question. check out this link if you want to know more

http://www.111emergency.co.nz/RescueHelicopters.htm

The Otago Resuce Helicopter is now actually the "Lion Foundation" rescue chopper. It's run by Greame Gale, and his highly dedicated team out at the Taieri Aerodrome, a few miles north of Dunedin Intl Airport.

The "Silver" Tranz-Rail chopper has been gone for a number of years now, replaced by the BK117.

This is a picture I took in June of the the mighty Boklov-Kawasaki (BK117) ZK-HUP sitting out on the Heli-Apron at the Lion Foundation Rescue Centre.
