Helicopters with SKIS

Postby hertzie » Wed Jan 31, 2018 1:55 pm

Hi all,

I'm looking for a (CFS2/FS9/FSX) heli with SKIS and an acceptable VC.

Suggestions welcome!

There MIGHT be a payware Super Puma on skis but did not find it. The other Helicopter that might have skis are the Chinook and maybe MD500. I looked (Googled) all over the place and could not find one. Even looked at Hovercontrol. If you do find one for CFS you won't be able to convert it for use in FS9 or FSX so forget that. I did find a AS332 HAF on floats (inflateables pontoons?). I'll keep looking and will watch this thread. Something might pop up, you never know.

Someone over on SOH made alterations to the default Eh101 with skis AgustaWestland EH101 Ski.zip the VC in the eh101 is pretty awful. Most helis have skids. This is one of the best freeware helis for fsx https://forums.simviation.com/phpBB3/vi ... 5#p1292369 you will find it here HS_Design_EC135_X at hovercontrol.com

I have a FS2002 TLUK UH-60 Blackhawk on skis, I converted the model to FSX, looks good, flies well, BUT: tailrotor not spinning and no VC. For the 1st problem I wasn't able to find a solution so far, if I did, maybe VC-guru Michael Pook would find a solution for the 2nd one.

Thanks guys for your response, much appreciated!

Helicopters are not equipped with ski's in the real world as there is no need for them. Why would you want this?

A few pictures on the internet of a Chinook and Apache fitted with ski attachments to the wheels.
