[Models and textures]

Hi Julien,

Pics of the 2 governmental Ecureuils I took this year and last year:

Let me know if there is any else I can do to help.

[MD 500 Defender helicopter Nem-125]

Tim, A couple of questions:

1.) What version of FSX are you using? (RTM, SP1, SP2/Acceleration)

2.) Have you tried un-installing/installing the product again?

3.) Have you tried going back to the old drivers before this happened?

Let us know.

Don't despair guys, there is a solution.

1.) Download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?yjz1h0yzydm

2.) Copy the following 4 files into all of the MD500 texture folders and the helicopter should display as it should. Let us know if you run into anymore problems.

This is not an official fix. The helicopter as with all Nemeth FSX helicopters are designed for FSX SP2 and I use FSX RTM (no service packs/patches)

[Thanks and whats next?]

As long as you can provide Peter and Tamas with a pilots operating manual and tons of reference photographs (interior/exterior), then you can have an MD Explorer :wink:

[Thanks and whats next?]

I know what it is, but I'll let the boys post up the shots :wink:

[BK-117 as the next Project]

As long as you can provide them with a flight manual of the specific BK117 variant and tons of exterior/interior photos, then the boys would consider it as a future product.

[NH90?]

Only if you have a pilots operation manual and tons and I mean tons of materials from the real helicopter, thats how the boys work nowadays

[AS-350 question]

Hi,

There are a few rotor texture updates on hovercontrol, look under my username in the hovercontrol download section (euroastar350) and look for as350_5repaintpack.zip

[EC135 Half invisible body textures]

You will need to add fresnel ramps to each of the texture folders for the EC135 to display correctly, you can use the fresnel ramps from the default texture folders.

[And another EC 135 paint]

Looking good Chris....The Nemeth boys model variants according to the reference photos they might have at there disposal, hence to the wirecutters found the medical variant. Shouldn't be too hard to remove the cutters, but its their call if they want to remove them or not.

[Nemeth Designs Eurocopter EC 135]

Raynald,

The boys have transitioned from FS9 to FSX as FSX allows more polygons to be added in the model versus FS9 which had a limit of polygons to be used. In other words, the CH53E and EC135 are FSX and many of the upcoming projects will follow this route. Peter or Tamas can chime in on this.

[Bo-105 new?]

Hi,

yes the Bolkow 105 is the next project in the pipeline, but don't know if it will be the short body variant (BO105CB) or the long body variant (BO105CBS) as the manual that was provided to Peter has dimensions for both models, I'll let the boys chime in on the matter.

[EC135 textures]

Rick,

Does all of your default FSX aircraft have reflections on them? I ran into this problem when I installed FSX SP1 over the base installation, I lose reflections to aircraft and water surfaces...in turn, I lose advanced animations, light bloom and any other special effects...I can't even install SP2 and/or Acceleration without a dedicated Nvidia or ATI card :evil: Sad to say, I am sticking to FS9 for a long while as FSX is a huge mess for me to be dealing with right now.

[EC-120 in FSX?]

Jerry,

Most, if not all of the Nemeth Designs products should work fine in FSX, but beware of the following:

1.) The rotors will disappear behind clouds and scenery

2.) Custom animations will be lost, especially the throttles and engine starters in the virtual cockpit

3.) Mixed flight dynamics/engine types don't go well in FSX. What this means is that if you use the EC120 in FSX and startup the engine, you will get tons of smoke pouring out from behind the engine cowlings.

4.) Some custom avionics/instruments may or may not work well.

To get the helicopter setup in FSX, observe the following:

1.) Install the helicopter into the Flight Simulator 9 folder (if you still have this installed)

2.) Copy the helicopter folders from the Flight Simulator 9/Aircraft folder into the Microsoft Flight Simulator X/Simobject/Rotorcraft folder.

3.) Copy the Gauges folders (EC120B and EC120pol) from the Flight Simulator 9/gauges folder into the Microsoft Flight Simulator X/gauges folder

4.) Fire up FSX and the EC120 should be listed in the aircraft selection menu.

Any questions or problems, let us know.

[EC135 - 1 question?]

Did you mean the radome on the nose from the reply I sent you a couple days ago? If so, my sincere apologies, I thought you meant the snow shoes on the rear skids. I wasn't sure if Peter was including the feature in his project....its in his and Tamas hands now if they decide to create additional models (expansion) to the base EC135.

[Sikorsky S-61N]

Gents,

Now that the EC135 is released and the BO105 is next on the drawing boards, how about if we all team up and gather all the needed photos and information required for the boys to make us an S61N? Not hard to do as I provided Peter with the photos of the BO105 and I had someone else providing the manual for this helicopter. In the end, we get rewarded with a great helicopter properly done by the masters of flightsim helicopters 8)

[Any chance for an status update?]

PencE,

I'm glad to hear you still alive :)

Can you confirm or not confirm that you will make the year 2008 alot brighter with this version incl. as medical?

Thanks.

This version is included in the pack, but without the rear snow shoes installed.

[Any chance for an status update?]

As a tester, you won't be dissapointed with this one....the quality of the model is top notch. I'm just having an issue with the 3-D model not showing properly in FSX without SP1,SP2 or Acceleration :?

[FSX and S-76 problem...]

Only way to get rid of the problem is to rebuild the entire model to FSX specs...which won't happen right now due to other projects currently in development including the Eurocopter EC135.

[Ch-53 manual?]

I have FSX/SP1 and Acceleration/SP2 installed, CH53 installed and she works like a charm. Now for me to try out all the other ND choppers in the new sim :wink:

[MI-24 for FS X]

Hi,

First and foremost, welcome to the forums :D At this moment, the MI24 is not compatible with FSX...although it may run to a certain extent, some of the customised animations modeled in these helicopters may or may not function properly due to FSX having new coding built in. I'll let the Nemeths guys chime in on the subject.

[Nemeth Designs wins 2007 simFlight Awards!]

Congratulations to Peter and Tamas for winning this year's simFlight Awards!!! :D

[Possible future projects]

Peter,

I am looking for some people now that might help out with the BO105 manual, I will keep you updated. As for another project, how about a payware MD500E with different models?

[After the 135.....MD902 please?]

Only if you guys have access to a pilots operation manual...thats how the Nemeths create realistic helicopters.

[A few dev screens of the EC-135]

Peter and/or Tamas,

Once a base is done and the texture templates are done, could I possibly get ahold of the paint templates? I would like to do a couple of schemes so I can release after the product is released for sale.
