Those Lynx would be at home in the Balkans map!!

[JosefK 911]

Both the Lynx and Merlin will be very welcome in SF2, ditto some H-60 variants in CombatAce please!

[+russouk2004 6,958]

Is sub object materials in game 100% not working \ supported ?...as the Merlin has meshes split materials....like fuselage roof is mapped to the same dds as the exhaust fairing mesh,and the nose to it also.....nose sorted as ive moved that to the fuselage map....it means a lot of moving maps,and hen also the templates...

or....I detach the offending polys and make as new mesh....hmmmm

I seem to recall I have read in another thread that the SF2 engine does not support it. Not sure though, I don't remember well.

Rather than ugly mesh joins ive redone base texture...moved mapping to same textures..luckily space on the fuselage map for the roof bits etc...also some polys not showing been removed so less to alter...now to edit template....oo err...will be fun lol

[+russouk2004 6,958]

setting up helos is right job,especially when you havent a clue what ur doing lol....I get the basics of adding the RCS points to a degree....where the ones for simulating flight controls...when comes to setting up for the engines and thrust...its a mare....im looking at the points set on helos using mues lod viewer but its a job and a half....so please be patient with me lol....

[+swambast 722]

Keep at it Russ, will be great in the end.  And get advice from @yakarov79 - he is the absolute best helo expert out there.

Fingers crossed.

[+russouk2004 6,958]

hmmm quite a few variations

[Stratos 3,188]

Now that's cool!

In the Alouette III I use, AngelP added a pilot activated gunner, so it is possible to fire those MG's!
