Since there's no sign of anyone else still working on one, I went back and finished uvw unwrapping my old Ka-25 Hormone model. But I'd like to give it to someone else to complete so I can focus on my behind-schedule ship projects.

It's a modest 7800 polygons. The landing gear shocks are animated, and the rotors are properly aligned (but no fast rotor tga installed yet). It could benefit from some more details like doors, rudders, cabin windows, interior, and maybe a recessed weapons bay like on some versions. So if you like cutting holes in polygons, here's a job for you. As it is, the model is better suited for sitting on the Kiev deck or flying around as an AI target.

 

But mostly it just needs a decent skin. I unwrapped it in the most logical manner I could think of, so it should be obvious what's what just by looking at the uvw templates. I've included a great reference pdf that was given to me by Snailman, IIRC. 

 

So, here's the package with the Max file and uvw bitmaps. Free to good home. Have fun.

I'm back, and it's in progress. What I am stuck with is a flight model, since the AI cannot land any kind of helicopters, not even on runway... to say nothing about ship deck...

 

One experiment is pending, namely to try a biplane FM from FE2...

This is very interesting. A great addon for the Kiev carriers.

I'm glad you're back, and that the helo is in good hands.

 

I've gotten the Ka-29 AI to land on a runway before... not reliably though. And it tends to go out of control after sharp banks or turns. All I can say is, good luck.

Someday.

Glad to hear that the little helicopter is back in business.  I would ask Eburger about the flight model, he did an amazing job revamping yeye's mi-24 included in his recent mega-mods

Thanks for all of you. I'm not ashamed to ask for help in this, as it was really a discouraging for me and partly a reason I halted the project that time(

Can you guys fill up this topic with WIP shots :)

 

To be honest, Im asking myself for help multiple times, cause sometimes you are stuck with your knowledge. We have many good guys here who are willing to help you.

Bit updated rotor structure. Still missing some parts, like kamov syncroniser-disc (rudder disc)

      AFRICAN AND MIDDLE EASTERN SKINS
       
      The second set in my collection of UH-1H Hueys, this pack consists of the following nations. Burkina Faso, Imperial Iran both Army and Airforce, Islamic Republic of Iran Army, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Rhodesia, Uganda, Yemen, and finally Zambia. As with my previous upload, of Latin Hueys, everything is contained in this pack to enable you to plug and play , I must also add, as I failed to do so in my last upload, that enclosed are 2 DATA.INI files, one is the vanilla one, the other has the settings to allow the cargo net to be underslung, use one or the other, which ever flavour you prefer 
       
      Hopefully this upload is error free, however should you discover anything that my proof reader has missed please contact me and I will sack the bugger, and repair the damage !! 
      Thanks again to Yakarov79 for the original model of the UH-1H

      View File SF2 Westland Wessex HU 5 (DAT)
      Westland Wessex Hu 5
      Royal Navy skin 
       
      A re work of the skin for the Wessex HU5 , the aircraft is originally from the A-Team site, so you will ( if you want to fly this aircraft ) have to obtain the files and lods from there, 
      This is a complete re do of the whole thing, as I was never happy with the colour, so I have corrected that, I have re drawn all the panels relatively accurately, I haven't bothered with rivet detail as to be honest it doesn't actually show up too well, I have corrected and updated ALL the stencilling, as the original effort was a dogs breakfast to be honest. I have also re done the decals and markings.
      So what is included.........2 skins, one for aircraft from 848 NAS who were the squadron in action during the Falklands operation, and one skin for 845 NAS flying off HMS Bulwark in 1966 during the Brunei and Indonesia debacle. I have included the decals for both Squadrons, and also the pilots that I personally use, although green helmets were more the flavour of the day during the Falklands, so feel free to swap out the pilots if that is your taste.
      A quick note about the shortfalls of these skins, the aircraft I believe was originally done for SF 1 so it is a little aged, therefore there are some clipping issues you may encounter, I am unable to do anything about this, in reality, we could do with a completely new model of this important aircraft, and hopefully one day it will happen !! So pretty much I have made a silk purse from a sows ear here, the aircraft itself. looks a little "off" I am sure there are some dimension errors, it doesn#'t seem tall enough, and it looks a little bit odd from the front view.....but I could of course be wrong, and the thing is perfect, but I doubt it. The stuff we all are getting used to like working lights and hatches......yeah ok.......not happening on this model, and I forgot to make lights work at least....oh well, such is life !! 
      Hopefully I shall do some skins for RAF HC3's next so watch this space for those.

      F-15C: Aggressors BFM Campaign on Steam
      Purchase from: STEAM Store F-15C: Aggressors BFM Campaign
      The F-15C Aggressors BFM campaign puts you in the cockpit of an F-15C Eagle as a new Aggressor pilot with the 65th Aggressor Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base.
      Based on real world procedures, you will fly as "Red Air" against "Blue Air" forces. Upon arrival you will fly a familiarization flight around the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). Then you will face a series of challenging Basic Fighter Maneuver (BFM) missions against similar and dis-similar aircraft.
      Your opponents include the F-4E, F-14A, F-15C, F-15E, F-16C, F/A-18C, M-2000C, MiG-29G, CF-188 and MiG-21.
      Additionally, there are 10 single player practice missions with in-air starts so you can perfect your BFM tactics, techniques and procedures.
      There are over 1,000 voice-overs and over 45 pages of briefing material including the F-15C Amplified Checklist, RED FLAG Spins, Red Forces In Flight Guide, Maps, Diagrams, Custom Kneeboards and Mission Data cards.
      DCS World War II Update
      An important aspect DCS World War II is the addition of additional player-controlled and AI aircraft. Some of these include the P-47D, Mosquito, A-20, C-47, Fw 190 A-8, and Ju-88. All of these are various stages of development, and they will serve a vital role in fleshing out the DCS World II experience in concert with the new damage modelling, new World War II era maps, and dogfight AI. As each of these elements progress to the point we’re ready to introduce in DCS World, we’ll be talking about them much, much more.
      Today we’d like to show off some of the P-47D skins we are working on, as well as the Mosquito.
      Sincerely,
      The Eagle Dynamics Team
