The main exterior is just about complete except for small details etc,..FDE is quite good and really stable. There is no VC "yet",..and i am no gauge wizard so unless I can get someone with that programming knowledge on board it wont likely get one as the NH-90 has some pretty complex glass cockpit instruments !. Anyway,..if anyone is interested in throwing it around and reporting on any quirks let me know. Model will be ready for testing in about 2 weeks,or sooner...
i'd be keen to give her a working over, i won't be too brutal

Nah,..its not a biggy,..just check for strange FDE behaviour,..visual model solidness(no weird holes,..parts fitting properly etc...,when you spend so much time making the models sometimes things get overlooked and that is where testers come in..., Here are a couple more pics.

Ooophs .. May i try this machice out ? I brought a recent Panel design program , still have a few glitchs with it .. hav'nt tried latest Heli glass , but sure would work for both 9/10 FS
i am using a few pics from airliners.net for reference,..at the moment im just using a generic panel close to the NH-90 but ill make up a 2D panel using the photos. Problem is if you look at the NH-90 instruments they are quite unique,..and will take some doing to create a good looking a faithful rep of it.. Check yer inbox Ian.....

no problems, i can give it the once or twice over for you, see if there is any peculiarities with it, let me know.

As an aside, some of the Hover Control helos (EC145, 412?) have glass cockpits- You may be able to get permission to use their gauges (they may not be totally correct in the NH-90 but a VC in choppers is a prerequisite in my opinion- You need to look around a lot for visual clues etc)
Hovercontrols an excellent site,..and i agree a VC is needed for sure.... All those who put their hands up,..if i havent messaged you let me know cause yer on board .
As i have stated in the new topic i just posted,..the tester list is now full up for now.

I have about 6-7 testers at the moment,....I had to do it this way without any warning other wise I would have had to start choosing who I wanted which I really didnt want to do so as avoiding any bad feelings. I have always done things on my own in the past so sharing the load will take a little getting used to !,...and in saying that I am no texture expert ,nor am i a real chopper pilot or C++ programmer for gauge programming so will be open to help and suggestions in all those departments. NZFF MEMBERS WILL BE THE FIRST TO BE OFFERED THE FINISHED PRODUCT FOR DOWNLOAD OF COURSE !!.
