Westpac Chopper

[Ellipsis]

Does anyone know where I can get the westpac chopper at all?

There is one at

http://64.34.169.161/cgi-bin/ifolio/ima ... s&bool=and

Dont know how good it is. There are a few models of the BK117 around, this seems to be the most common.

Get the Bell 222B from Hovercontrol instead and Natas2003 has done a repaint for it in the Westpac Waikato Air Ambulance colours its a much better machine as alot of the BK117 models arent that great but try them out you may like one of them.

I've got a copy of that Bell 222B but can't for the life of me find the Westpac repaint you mention. Does anyone know if its still available?

I had a go at my first ever repaint attempt of Alan Devin's 222B on Saturday using PhotoshoEssentials. Its rough round the edges mostly due to my inexperience but also coz some the texture file components seem to be replicated over the model in places which means I couldn't quite get colour blocks aligned right. There don't seem to be texture files for both sides of the aircraft either which means the text on the right side is back-to-front. Would love to know if anyone can explain in non-designer terms how to replicate those three concentric circles round the "W" logo thats on the real-world aircraft, someone here has done it on the B117, you know the way the lines in the circle increase in thickness?

Anyway, here's a pic of it sitting on creator2003's Hamilton scenery Waikato Hospital pad



It was a fun experience. If anyone wants a copy let me know. Feedback welcomed, go easy on me though :-)

Gday dude looking good ,i have the repaint for the 430 with full westpac logos but not that great as i only did for a movie i was doing ,as for the chopper you have there 222 i did try and do the same as you with it but because of the textures it has i gave up trying ,to answer your question there is no way that can be fixed with out having the sorce model to remap the model with double sides etc..as for the logo i have always used the real logo of the side of the helo ,but you can do searches on the net for the pics try here where scott AKA squrril350 crew man posts his shots http://www.111emergency.co.nz/RescueHelicopters.htm
you should find all you need ,but if there is a shot you can get ive got many on my puter that i could upload one or two but most should be on that site ...

next question i dont remember putting trees in the hanger ? are you missing the afcad i put down there for it ,if so read the readme and put the afcad in the addon scenery scenery folder just to make sure it works ,should be in there somewhere and "should " i hope get rid of those trees there

Eeek, sorry about that Mike, misrepresenting your fine efforts and all, after I'd uploaded it I thought something was funny, then thought maybe there was a new full-width door at the back of the hangar
