Anyone?

The fs9 one I mentioned is buggy with FSX acceleration so hope someone can make the fs9 one work with fsx accel or design one altogether for fsx.

This is the best I can do with the Alan Devins model. I can't fix the the rotor discs.

It's easy enough to tweak the textures with DXTBmp. If you would like to try it I can show you how.

Thank you Hagar! :)
The textures is what was giving me probs before (invisible rotorhead, blades, tail rotors, and cockpit) however the simple to follow texture tweak you posted fixed all of those problems.

One other small issue and you seem to be the man to ask
with the engine off and while sitting on the ground, it sounds like a grindstone churning?
the grindstone sound can also be heard with the engine running at low idle.
any ideas as to what this is?

its no big deal though as im very happy you posted a way to fix the textures.

Was checking over the sound files in the heli's sound folder and the culprit is the skid wav.
Not sure why but on my pc at least, the sound keeps playing over and over even when the heli's engine off.
I will either remove them or use another birds sound clips.

either way im just happy those parts are not predator cloaked anymore ;D
