Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi lads
It doesn't look much new... however it's been a hell of a time hand painting the floating casings
. Also, all tailboom sensors and antennas are all mappped and textured:
I did some extra detailed fuel caps... not sure what the placard says
Almost the exterior base model has mapped and painted with basic colors (no go with the finest details; such as panel lines, rivets, shadows, etc.). The nuances of a consistent paneling, it's gonna be a real challenge for me.
Anyway, I hope you like what I made so far.
Cheers,
Sergio.

Sup' boys
I finally fixed the darn problem in the VC (which gave me a lot of head aches) with all the instruments, displays and gadgets ... All materials have been ordered and each part correctly identified. In the next phase, I will give some colors to the cockpit and the rear cabin in general. All remaining details are a work in progress.
In the image below, all components are in the "right" place; I did my best to achieve the overall look; forget the correct sizes and angles... but here we are:
Regarding details, the engine housing in the EC725/H225M is done and ready to be repainted:
I am testing gray colors for the basic military version; however, non seems to be the right one in the rendering trials.
Either way, that and the exterior final details are in the "oven".
Enjoy!
Sergio.

Hi friends
Hello Keith, thank you! Doing the best I can.
I will ask for some help; I am stuck again in the VC. The main reason is the pedal section I am actually modeling isn't clear to me and It is not entirely shown in the images that I could get.
The screen capture composition below depicts the issue:
In advance, thank you so much.
Sergio.

Keith, thank you. By any chance do you have a more detailed image for that section? I wasn't able to get it...
Thanks a lot.

Hello lads
@manschy:
Thank you kindly; this wouldn't be possible without the outstanding grouop of developers who designed and refined the Unlimited Export Sytem (aka ULE System for short). All credits goes for them and my own admiration and respect
for such and amazing way to export to FS9 giangant models (AFAIK 500,000 polygons). If I can recall, our dear friend Lionheart modeled in his own FS9 era a fantastic Boeing with at least the amount of polygons I've just mentioned.
@Keith:
Once more time, thanks for your kindness. And sure, I'll be bombarding every friend here with questions and oppinions!
By the way, that's what we have so far for all pedal's hardware in the images in thread #46:
At least, those are the parts I was able to "figure out". The honest truth, I don't know what needs to be done there; that is because I don't have any clue of the missing parts in that section
Addendum
Keith, where do you think the hydraulic oil reservoir cylinder for the hydraulic pedals should be connected to the parts I've shown? An educated guess, somehow attach it to the far bottom green rod...
In any event, thank you all and have a nice one!
Sergio.

Hello again
I found and trimed a picture for the pedal section, where it seems to be right position of cylinder for the hydraulic pedals. I will assume that is the same cylinder highlighted in blue the previous two images. I'll do the changes and as soon as I have it,
the result will be here as well.
Take care and have a nice day.
Sergio.

I call this: "The Extra Mile Hydraulic Cylinder"; even the fluid is "modeled".
On the other hand, this is an example of modeling overkill; part piece of
but it looks good, right? 
More seriously -if that's possible now, should we have it on the chopper?

Hi lads
@Keith
Thanks, in the photo above, I also realized that the pedals are slightly curved newar to the tip. However, I won't add more geometry to that section; it's heavy enough already.
Still have to fine tune the alignment between the pedal's main vertical rod with the pedal itself; it shouldn't be that difficult and create the uv's asap.

Sergio - I don't think you're gonna like me for this - but I really don't think those pedals are correct. If that's a hydraulic reservoir (and I agree it looks like it should be) then it should be completely separate from the pedal assembly. It's mounted in that position to make life easy for maintenance. The pedals should be driving a master cylinder that is fed from the reservoir. Look at the first picture posted by Keith: the two red 'buttons' are covers for the master cyclinder input and output ports. Lastly, if Keith's second picture is from a (Super) Puma then it definately shows two hydraulic reservoirs mounted on a bracket that is separate from the pedals.
I know exactly what it's like working with a lack of readily-available information. I created PILOT'S Boeing B-314 which was designed in 1937, so you can imagine how much reliable information is available for that aircraft. I got very good at interpreting pictures that showed one thing but actually gave me a lot of information about something totally unrelated to the actual subject.

Correction: 'the two red 'buttons' are covers for the master cyclinder input and output ports' should have said
the two red buttons are the covers for the master cylinder input ports.
the two red buttons are the covers for the master cylinder input ports.
