FSXA Bell 222

[euroastar350]

So here I am with the virtual cockpit and the 4 different communications radio setup. These are selectable in sim via a control gauge which will have other neat features as I progress along.

Analogue radios


Digital radios 1


Digital radios 2 with customizable gauges

Customizable gauge to add your favorite avionics


2 things I would like to add is a payload manager and fuel load/dump gauge which will be accessible via the control panel.

Overall, this base project is about 80% complete with little left to do. Hope you enjoyed the new preview

And one of the liveries to be included in the base release....

The Bell 222UT has the pilot in place already. I've been spending the last few days getting all the models up to date and making sure I have at least a working model(s) for an initial release. Here are a few snaps from the current testing.

A few more....

Awesome, really great work . Is it ready yet?

Close, but not that close. I am building the 222, 222B and 222UT, all with multiple configurations, lighting, etc. I am having issues with the multiple avionics displays not working correctly in the 222UT, so I am fixing that issue before I go onto the 222B. Paintkit for the 222 is pretty much done, I need to do the kits for the B and UT models as there are parts that are different from the base 222 (3 paintkits in total). And so I won't get burned out on just one project, I am doing different aircraft at the same time, one of which is the Turbo Commander, so it's going by slowly, although lots have been done

Well I hope you get all the appreciation you deserve for it mate,

Update,

Almost close to completion for the base model. The new model has features that can be toggled on and off via a control gauge, payload that can be toggled on and off using XMLToolsV2, the ability to add and remove fuel via a control gauge and much more.

Looks good!

It's been a long while since the last update for this project and I have since picked up on it just to take a break from other models. In this latest update, I have added 3D lights and volumetric rotor effects that will be the norm for all my models. I've also been adjust textures and code so it'll be more efficient. At the present moment, I have the Bell 429 in testing and will be released not too far from now. I also have the Bell 206 to be tested and released...sigh

Nicely done brother!

 

[euroastar350]

Bell 222B base completed. All 3 models have been optimized in terms of materials and model efficiency. Next up is the cockpits and code optimization.

Updating previous textures from the old model to fit the new model. They are not completed and are a work in progress. 11 textures so far.
