1stBN/160th SOAR Mod ArmA III WIP

[warden_1 1070]

Some things you should take a look at:

- the objective lens is very short compared to real ones

- adjustment knobs in the rear of the units have very large grooves when in reality they are much smaller (just a simpl normal map fix :) )

- the middle of the tubes look like they have a lot of unneeded angles, but its hard to tell with the two pictures ;) ... (tfw this is an elaborate way to get more WIP pics)

Thats really all I wanted to mention about them, looking good though it will be nice to finally have some decent anvis models in game. I was also wondering if you were going to do a standard mount as well as the wilcox one? Thanks

If you guys need help testing, I've got a few great helo pilots that are looking forward to this mod and would love to help test it for you.

[jetherjr 12]

I'm helicopter pilot, if they need help to test the mod you guys can count on me

[Wiki 1558]

Civilian or military?

[Rich_R 1087]

We have a retired Littlebird pilot in our group if you need testers.

We're always willing to help out :)

[jetherjr 12]

So excited to see the MH47! Is it going to be AGM compatible for fast ropes?

[Wiki 1558]

I think They're making their own fastrope model, but I think they also said they would make it compatible with AGM.

[warden_1 1070]

Yeah iirc someone working on the mod had their own fastrope animations that looked nice.

[Hi Wags here from ED 13]

So it's been a while, and seeing no one is playing RHS atm I decided to work on my little bird.

I have been working on the high poly details, so ignore the poly count.

Also to make it easier to see what exactly has been added as high poly detail I colored it in grey in the non clay view images (the ones that aren't orange/red) so it's easier to see, as otherwise you can only really see it in the Max workspace.

It's been a productive session... yet I have found myself deleting the front doors and windshield... not a big deal, but it's going to be a minor headache when I get back around to building them, not too much stress though, just annoying.

Enjoy the images none the less!

EDIT: I would like to thank SkyoCrazy for sharing some ref images that have been used for their littlebird :)

EDIT X2: this is from my Facebook album but it is a pic that I feel is worthy of sharing here

Damn they look beautiful,professional work to say the least.Can't wait for it to get released,i think i speak for everyone when i say that everyone loves a good 160th SOAR helo and u sir can definitely provide us with that.

[Alex150201 894]

When are these coming out?! The 160th SOAR helicopters are the best looking in my opinion and there is currently no Arma III mod that add them so far. We only have the 160th SOAR Chinooks but thats it. Please tell me when this comes out!
