Bell 412 / Griffon for repainters. (FS2002 and FS2000)
Designed by Brian Whitelegg.
Sounds by Manuel Gonzalez.
Crew figures by David Eckert.
This aircraft is a further derivative of my version 2 model and includes an improved .air file correcting a previous unrealistic "skidding" efect on landing, and animated crew figures who look in the direction of turn when rudder is applied. Nav/strobe lights are on the "L" key.
The textures on this model are "Extended 16bit 565" created using "DxtBmp", a freeware image manipulation software for fs2000 and fs2002 available from "www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk" I thoroughly recommend this software as it gives availability of a much larger colour palette for repaints.
Glass textures are not modifiable as they were created in the making of the parts.
These textures are not compatible with my older version 2 and vice versa.
The aircraft was produced using FSDS ver:1.5a. Should you wish to make minor adjustments to the model type (i.e add a searchlight or FLIR unit) then mail me at the address below with short details of your planned changes and I will send the .fsc file.
Anyone may use this model, or indeed my earlier models, as a repaint base.
Prior permission is not required PROVIDED a. No profit is made from any distribution.
b. The repaint is not uploaded to a site requiring a download fee.
c. This ReadMe file remains part of the repaint package. You may, of course, add any credit for your repaint work.
I would appreciate a quick mail from anyone who does repaint this aircraft, if only so that I may download it myself !
