• 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.

Need Help on ASTAR Project

Hi all id like to just take a second and introduce my self, im Jake and i am new here. I'm very involved with helicopters and i live to fly them. I just recently found the Dodosim bell for fsx and its amazing. So it got me thinking..Why cant i create a super nice helicopter of my own.

I am trying to gather a few very experienced people to make one of the nicest helicopters for fsx. Im not planning on making it payware but if we actually end up making it and its pro, decisions will be made then. So this is the helicopter i'm looking at. The ASTAR:

I want to make this helicopter like the Dodosim one with as real flight dynamics as possible. Counteract for torque with left pedal, vortex ring, rpm, engine start up and shut down and all that goody stuff.

A very nice helicopter, ive flown in it a few times along with the bell jet ranger. I'm looking for a team of good 3d modelers, UV mappers, texturing, and possible coding for it. Worst part about this is i have no experience in 3d modeling. I'm currently trying to learn aircraft.cfg coding and sound coding, so i might be able to pitch in there.

I may have a chance to go back to the hanger of where my dad used to work with these and get a TON of ref pics for you, and possibly record start up and shut down sounds. If anyone has ideas or suggestions please feel free to post here as i could really use the help! Thanks a lot!

Jake

With respect, I believe you've answered your own question. You don't have the knowledge or skills to do so yet.

Might I suggest a better approach would be to join in with someone else's team and learn what you need to know before trying to be a "team leader..." ;)
