AB-212 / AB-412 / Huey II look-alike facelift MOD for the UH-1H

It looks like @Eight Ball's finding still works: when in game, select rearming panel and choose the livery containing the "pylons off" args. I.e. the AB-412 Bristow livery. Then the AB-412 loadout stays, but the pylons disappear. Somehow weird though, but a workaround for now.

Got it working, thanks.

Any plans to expand on the AB-412 and add a UH-1Y engine section and nose?  Would be greatly appreciated.  The UH-1Y is essentially an AB-412 with reworked exhausts and a FLIR turret under the nose (aside from all the internal changes).

I have thought about this, but IMO it does not make too much sense. It needs a new model, since the Venom is longer in the mid section, and it has a very massive 4-blade rotor. plus 2 turbines and certainly a completely different cockpit (not sure about this).

That is true, the Venom is longer, but the AB412 is similar, and it has a 4-blade rotor system IRL.

Why don't my engine and nose cover change with the Livery? They're just black and green

What am I doing wrong?

Which liveries do you use? You need to use explicit AB212 or AB412 liveries. Normal UH-1 liveries do not include nose and cover.

It works with the 212 Gatari, 412 bristow and Armanda. I just assumed by some different screenshots that it worked with every liverie, but maybe those users modded their own skins.

Thanks for explaining that, i was thinking i missed a step.

Great mod, is there a top cover template for the 412?

i would like to create one for the RCAF CH-146 Griffon

Did you have any luck! This looks brilliant.

Unfortunately not, the template provided didn't have the top cover

Hi Rato!  Love the mod so far.  Quick question.  Is it possible to move the attachment armament to the forward miniguns?  As the USMC didn't use that forward setup on its UH-1Ns I'd love to be able to use both rocket pods.  Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

[Stratos]

I bump my request for the IRIAA AB-214, will be perfect for incoming Iraq map (that will came with some of Iran as well, for Iran-Iraq war)

A skin to start with.

And how the real bird looks!

Sorry for my slow response. If I change the mounting connector all other payloads cannot be carried anymore. I wanted it to be compatible to Eightballs civil loadouts. Doing both (your idea plus Eighballs loadouts) would make the hole mod very tedious and inconsistent.

Thanks for the skin, have seen it before. Currently i have no plans to modify the mod, I apologize. But it is "bumped" and may be included at a later time.

Not yet, there are some issues with the collission because of the large surface. But what the heck....maybe I should just share it. Thanks for your interest. Needs a couple of bad weather days though...

[cochise]

Gov Huey II and a Fatcow! Awesome work on this mod, thanks!

can someone help me figure out the texture editing for this ? i edited the nose section in gimp and exported it to the livery i wanted to use but it still shows up default green, then i copied the last bit of the lua with all the 212 412 stuff added it in and then there was no texture at all, can someone help me figure out whats going wrong here ? im just trying to make some UH1N and Ch146 liveries

Should be standard texture editing of the files in the mod pack. However, to see it in the ME, for some reason sometimes you need to switch between livery chosing and loadout back and forth. Best practise is to check textures in Modelviewer as usual.

The above still works when flying, but not in replay....how can we remove the weapon stations in replay??? Did anyone experience this as well?

[rato65]

I am testing a Firefighter AB-212 highskid, but I cannot get rid of the pylons in replay since last update... really strange.

... and it should look like this (AI Flight works after loading livery with pylons-off arg and leaving the aircraft).

Watertank System made by Upuaut.

STILL, loving this mod. Does anyone have a USMC livery with the 412 components matching grey? Pretending to be a UH1Y!
