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

[Capybara]

Why are the liveries not texturing the new engine shroud, winch radar, wsps, etc for me?

[Neo47]

Because the textures need to be adjusted accordingly. You either try it yourself or ask the group if someone can help out.

A question about the White Top cover:

It seems completely white without details, panels, rivets etc. What am I doing wrong?
I Edited an existing livery (United Nations ITALAIR, easily found on the User Files) and put the white .dds files into the livery folder, changed the .lua with the lines posted above in this thread.

Added the argument to remove the pylons etc.

I don't know if it's just the skin file that is "basic" or something is missing.

Yes, at this stage it is without any structure itself. The 212 has air intakes on top. I hope to make the top a bit more realistic with a later update.

However, if you use the spec map this will produce some reflective diferences. See screenshots in first post.

Thank you so much

Here are a couple from me for Upuaut's US Navy Lemoore Rescue liveries.

Would be cool if a variant with a FLIR pod was made. That would look good for USMC UH-1N variants. Looks great!

WIP detailed textured AB-212 turbine cover to come in next update.

First you need to make sure you have the original liveries: US Navy Lemoore Rescue and US Navy Lemoore Rescue Green

Then you download the extra textures for the UH-1N

US Navy - UH-1N Lemoore Rescue

US Navy - UH-1N Lemoore Rescue Green

Copy the content into the original livery folder and overwrite the description.lua

They are meant to be used with the AB212 clean and AB212 Cutters attachments.

Note: sometimes you need to reselect the livery or the attachments for the textures to display properly.

 

After installing the extra textures i get missing textures for the livery itself.

oops, my bad. Updated the link for the custom textures, it should work now.

Thanks a lot for this great looking mod! @rato65 You posted some screenshots of a grey USMC huey. Is there a compatible livery around and how do I get the grey Twin huey intakes? I also love the fact that this mod is compatible to the other huey attachments. I noticed that - at least for me - the flex cam seems to hover in the air next to the helo, all other attachments are working fine.

[rato65]

Great you like it, thank you.

There is the AB-412_top_grey.dds file which you have to adress in the livery. Check the Armada example livery description file how it is done. In ME, you can load one of the AB412 / 212 loadout kits.

I had this also, you need to download the 2021 version of Upuauts addons. Here is a link:

OK unless @upuaut has a problem with this, I have put all his files on my Google Drive here:

Hope this helps everybody.  Plz credit him, not me, with the materials at the link.

These links arent working. I was having the missing texture issues as well and went looking for the originals. Thanks!

[ST0RM]

Obviously, I've been playing around with this mod a bunch this morning. 
@rato65 Looking through the LUA, the 412/414 bits seem to be assigned to station 2. Can that be changed to station 1, so that we could regain use of both Mk151s? The forward minigun mounts are rather odd on a modern-ish Huey

Thanks again!

Not without repositioning the complete meshes in blender, basically a complete change of positions.

Ahh, ok. Too much work for minor change. 
Thanks again! Still love the facelift.

What about having the Huey pilots without helmets and with a baseball cap and David Clark headsets?   Would it be doable?

AFAIK, no, we cannot change the pilots in any of the modules.

It's such a shame that ED is basically abandoning the huey. With a bit of "lifting", a couple of variants (212, 412) and civilian/military option for the pilots, the guy would be up to level with the recent announced upcoming modules for some transport, recon, and ground forces support actions (C-130, CH-47).

Uncheck "IR Exhaust Suppressor" on the last tab
