Helicopter Effects

Postby Falcon500 » Wed Mar 22, 2006 9:09 pm

I was wondering if Helicopter effects are hard coded into the mdl  ??? I browsed around the effects file and found nothing.

I wanted to make the size a bit bigger for big helo's like the CH-53, MI-8, etc
What do I do you ask? I struggle! Then destroy! Then try to put back together what I just broke on accident.....

I recently saw Dobro make a post about this on hovercontrol, here is the link. I hope it helps:

Down in the thread he explains how he did it. Though its probably not about the chopper you are looking for.
