Westpac Rescue Chopper

[ardypilot]

Great work both BM and natas!

I would love to see them both up for download

[creator2003]

id be happy to give you what ive done the only thing is ,is that the textures are painted right over the air zermatt as350 textures because i use abacus fs-repaint had probelms making up new textures folder for this one nemeth bros are always that way with fs repaint so my textures are just over the top of others,
these were just done for plesure as i come down to ratahi every year and stay two doors down from where the rescue choppers come in was going to do all for new plymonth as well but still havent started but i could maybe send you what ive done and you can fix it up

[Blackmagic]

ratahi every year and stay two doors down from where the rescue choppers come in

We need to PM my friend as I live/owned a house on that very road

How big is the download of just the textures? I have a lot of photos of the bird to help you clean the image up well not that I need photos I can just ask the pilot to check it out as well

[creator2003]

this i have also seen fly in the clark&jolly think its from taupo dont know if they use it for sar but i did see some doc worker fly out in it
would like to do the taupo rescue on this chopper fspainter as350ba from
http://fspainter.helicoptere-avis.com/p ... e=Produits
just got to work out the french to download it

[Blackmagic]

I see I am going to have to link my Taupo photos to this site now

Yup that bird is based at Taupo! Used mostly for contractural work taking Hunters into the bush hence why you saw a DOC worker on it. Not usually used for SAR unless requested like the big search last year.

Mike that ZK-HZJ repaint is wicked I have forwarded a copy on to a good friend of mine who is the pilot of that machine Dan Harcourt no doubt he will love it also unsure of whos ZK-HNL texture it was but that looked great it is a very basic machine but very very nice to fly in but still nothing will beat the Bell222 I have a proposal to chat about with you Mike I think you will find it very interesting I willtry e-mail the details to you at some stage today.

[Magnumforce]

Hya Squirrel not sleeping I see Yea that repaint of ZK-HNL was done by Blackmagic.

So you know Dan as well? What a small world is he still driving around in that old mitsi?

[Zenith]

Dont think BM released that repaint! Squirrel would you like a copy if so then email me.

[creator2003]

there is a re paint at hovercontrol called (Blackcomb_Helicopters) that is nearly the same just would have to take a logo of the back and put some numbers on it

[squirrel350]

lol I have totally messed up my sleeping patern so I was up all night on here reading all the forum posts and checking out the screen shots so hence the reason I couldnt make it today Mike I was catching up on some much needed zzzzzzz hopefully I can get it back on track hahahahaha

Also I would like a copy of those HNL textures but I will let you know as I dont have fs9 running on the pc yet.

[creator2003]

yeah i dont have them textures for that helo done yet , but in about five minutes work i would if i used the blackcomb download as a template for the paint job as it looks the same to me

[squirrel350]

Oooops just remembered I didnt answer magnums Q any yes I do know Dan have now for a year or two knew him before I started at the hangar very funny guy and full of knowledge Im not too sure if hes still driving the mitsi last saw him a few weeks back when he was up at the hangar doing sim training.

I forgot to post this link yesterday Im not sure if any of you have this repaint but it is for NZTG TECT Rescue Helicopter if I remember rightly it is ZK-HZN aka Careflight 02 I think dont quote me on the careflight callsign I can only remember ZK-HZQ , HZJ , HNL

[Codge]

Squirrel,what do the pro's you work with use for a sim

[squirrel350]

Hey Codge they use the Elite Professional Sim just a google search for Elite Simulators it is a squirrel cockpit with 3 projectors and 3 screens to provide the views

[Blackmagic]

Just to confirm that yes I did the repaint of ZK-HNL and no I have not released it as I am not 100% happy with whats there yet! I have not had the time to finish it off but it someone wants a copy then PM me.

Squirrel, Do you work with Dan? He was piloting ZK-HNL when I got that photo I used for my repaints. Lucky me to have a association with the rescue helicopters in the central North Island especially as it used to land on my front lawn in Raetihi.

[squirrel350]

Squirrel, Do you work with Dan?

Sorry Im replying so late Blackmagic.
In a way I work with Dan but not along side him I help out at the Hangar at Waikato Hospital and only see him every now and then.

From time to time he will txt or e-mail me.

HNL is mainly a Ag chopper but covers all the bases if a primary machine is in for servicing its very strange to see HNL in the Hangar instead of the HZQ

Also HZJ is being upgraded to a AS350B2 Im unsure if it is still in Ardmore or whether it is back in NZAP

Well hope that answers most Q's

[Blackmagic]

Also HZJ is being upgraded to a AS350B2 Im unsure if it is still in Ardmore or whether it is back in NZAP

Thats the reason HNL was being used for the Medical Lift when I saw it!
