BO-105 PAH1A1 progress news

[Andi31]

Current state of work is that the whole outside model is complete (no skin). Aries Wing Consulting is busy programming the flight behavior and the logic.

i decided to do the whole skinning when the integration is done :)

 

Thats nice to hear :)

 

I've asked a College to shoot some photos and squeeze some information out of the BO-105 pilots at Roth Airbase at 28th of July

 

If I woud have known that earlier.. I have been in Berlin Gatow (Luftwaffenmuseum) a month ago ;) I just took one photo of the Bo-105.

Hi Guys, here're 3 Screens of the finished Tailrotor.

Amazing!

[The_Fragger]

funny, what's so hot about HOT?

Is it at least possible to get info on HOT 1 missiles and older targeting systems?

Still this chopper is a fast and agile mover, I guess working towards an accurate military/Acrobatic chopper could be the way to go and hopefully in time enough info will become available to model the HOT missile and Targeting system to allow a full military machine to be realized.

 

Race trim... mmmmmmm..

Race trim in the Grand Canyon... never happen!

 

It's not the HOT itself it's the functionaltiy and guidiance system which is classified (here in germany). The big question now is: BO-105 PAH1A with analoge Weaponsysten or the BO-105 PAH1A1 with digital weaponsystem.

To be on the save side it's better to implement the analoge one. Actually it makes no difference because all Symbols on the digital one are self explaining :D

Analogue is good for me.

It is great to see that work progresses and it also looks very good indeed.

[IonicRipper]

Do you have pictures of analogue and digital weapon system displays? I'm curious to see the difference.

This is the digital version. The analogue one have a big rotary switch for the HOT selection and several dip switches.

Analogue all the way then! If it keeps you out of trouble thats the way to go.

+1 Go analogue! :)

[The_Fragger]

Can anyone provide me with a closeup from the section marked in the pic ?

[Ich666]

Those two in combination show pretty nicely, whats going on there. Makes up a nice turbosmooth exercise :P

[The_Fragger]

Hey ! Thanks, Fire :thumbup:.

 

I wasn't sure if all PAH's have this addon :D

[Flagrum]

Can anyone provide me with a closeup from the section marked in the pic ?

Interestingly it seems, there are also variants where the slits are horizontally:

Hi Fragger,

 

sorry, there is only one BOH-105 at Gatow and the cockpit was covered. :( I hope, these pictures can help you anyway.

Thanx, Flagrum ! :thumbup:

 

These slits driving me nuts. I can't align them. I first have to bool the inlet out. This can only be done when the skinning is done. The problem is the unwrap UV modifier where I have to connect the seems. The more subdivs the complicated it is. I have to use the "not subdivided Version" (less polys to connect) :huh::)

[The_Fragger]

First lookup in the Model Viewer :)

 

It worked at the first attempt :thumbup:.

 

PS:

Does anyone know why it doesn't applied the smoothing groups from 3Ds Max ?

Thanx again, Fire. That helped me very much :thumbup:

Update 26.007.2013.

 

Yesterday I started with the Cockpit-Model.

Ipanel, Centerconsol and Weapons-Terminal are done. Next week or maybe in the weekend I'll finish the Overheadpanel, seats, cyclic, stick and doors. The cockpit was actually finished but I had to reduce polygons because the complete base helicopter which I started from had about 500.000 polys:music_whistling:

 

The next step is modelling the Pilots.

Thanx !!!:thumbup:

[Aginor]

What is your poly target?

Looking at other models I would probably recommend something around 200.000 polies. (maybe less)
