• 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 gents,

As some of you may know, I am working on a Bell 222 series helicopter for FS9 with FSX after FS9 model is done. The following shots show where we are at with the helicopter. There is one shot of the native FSX test model.

The exterior is almost done with only a few things left do to. Once done, work on the virtual cockpit will begin.

So far, all passenger/pilot doors, baggage door, cowlings, avionics nose bay/nose have been animated, the rotor blades have pitch and collective pitch applied, tail blades have been animated to react with the tail pedals, the rear turbine blades are animated, but for some reason they continue to spin even after the engines are shutdown...must be an issue with tick 18.

I want to implement cyclic movements on the rotor, I even setup the animations correctly...but for some reason, they aren't animating properly in sim. Any ideas from the gmax gurus?

I need someone with good XML knowledge for gauge programming. Anyone interested, please let me know.

The models in the series include the 222A, 222B, 222UT and 230. The 430 is undecided right now and there will be no Airwolf from us as NBC/Universal won't let anyone model Airwolf in any form for free or profit.

Enjoy the shots;)
