General:
This model was designed using GMAX, textures with DXTBmp. This model of the Bell 47 consists of more than 24.000 polygons and 35.000 vertexes !!
It makes use of all the new technologies offered by the new flight simulator program FS2004.
This model requires a fairly powerful PC. I therefore recommend a configuration like the one I used to design it, beign a Athlon 1400 with a GeForce2 GTS with 64 Mb graphics card.
There is 1 livery available, representing one of the helicopters which were used in the early 70ties at Hubschrauberführerschule der Luftwaffe, Faßberg, Germany,
for initial helicopter pilot training.
Sound:
The sounds were taken from a real Bell 47 flown by Air Action. My thanks to Max, Xavier and Vincent !
