• 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 guys,

Since I am almost done with the base model for my Bell 222, I decided to take a break and work on something even more complex. Say hello to the Sikorsky S76. This model started out as payware from Nemeth Designs and has since been released as freeware, I was able to obtain the gmax files from Tamas Nemeth for conversion to FSX, but it's going to be quite more challenging as it did not come with FS9 makemdl parts dictionary with the custom animation XML, so I am taking the liberty of rewriting all the animations or use what I have from my Bell 222. This one won't come quick as I have obligations with other projects including the Commander 520, C1A Trader which is nearly completed and a new project I just picked recently. Texture mapping will remain the same as the FS2004 models, so not to worry about anything changing on the models. Tamas has graciously allowed me to add any kind of modifications to the base, so any mods are under consideration:)

What I can do in a day ;) Approximately 70% of materials have been carried over with some left to do, animations are about 60% complete, also with some left to do and this is only the exterior and the executive variant, EMS variant to be completed once this one is done. Once this is completed, I can then tackle the VC and yet I have run into issues. No makemdl parts dictionary + no custom animations = writing my own animations or use what I have from my Bell 222 since the current engine gauges and systems are no good in FSX, although they did work fine FS2004. Lots more to get done:cool:

S76 medical version in the workshop, now that most of the engine systems are in place. I can't show the VC yet because it is not fully converted over with the proper FSX material settings, but it is identical to the VIP VC, but with medical equipment in the back. Hopefully I'll hear back from the 4 painters that offered to paint this wonderful bird for it's release or I'll use what is available.

George,
Like all of your previous projects, this bird is looking very nice.
Thank you for all of your hard work on reviving her for FSX, and many thanks to Tamas for allowing you to update his model. Looking forwards to seeing all of your projects come to fruition.

Cheers George

Best Regards
Gary
 
Thanks Gary. I have 2 other remaining FS9 Nemeth helicopters to convert and the only remaining in their source inventory, the KA26 and MI2, but those are beginning their stages of development as I have other aircraft both freeware and payware that I'm working on. The KA26 and MI2 will remain payware as FSX models with the possibility of the FS9 models becoming freeware, not sure yet.

Everything more or less finished, just finishing up some coding for some of the switches...but they are being a pain as they all haven't been scaled and transformed before adding a mouserect and animation tag applied, so I have to fix all of those before I can get them to work. Engine systems more or less finished, just some minor adjustments needed to get them to work more properly. Then there is the issue of parts not displaying properly and have to fix those as well. The wonderful life of a 3D modeler :D

Of course a stupid question, but will you also supply Tamas' paintkit for this model? Because I just have to have this paint!

The FSX native version of the S76 uses the same paintkit as the FS9 version, no changes have been made to the texture layout or mapping. The only changes made are the spinning rotors, the addition of a 3D GPS, the electrical and engine systems, taxi lights that turn off and on when the gear is extending/retracting, coded navlights,strobe lights, flashing beacon. Plus spec and bump maps :)

Would love to get this when it gets done.
I was flying this over my house and my wife took the picture from a cell phone a few years back. Yep one of the pilots.
