-SWAT- 1 Posted February 25, 2006 Hi there! I startet retexturing Preparation H´s US Marines Helicopter *Big THX for permission* due to a upcoming campaign. Here are my first tries. I don´t know, which scripts will be featured, because i have to ask for permission. Sgt. Eversmann told me to help me with this project. Also a big THX for this... Please consider: The Addon on the screens shows my first try. I´ll do my best to enhance quality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serclaes 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Looks good for the first try Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-olk-e 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Yeah, nice man! 4 da 1st try... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-SWAT- 1 Posted February 25, 2006 There is still a lot of work to do... When Eversmann is back in action he will hopefully explain me how to change the writings on the back via settexture. So there will be different writings like Police, FBI, SWAT and so on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hidden_spectre 2 Posted February 25, 2006 the chopper looks gr8....but if its possible, the cargo anims shud be llike this.........*more SWAT like* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-SWAT- 1 Posted February 25, 2006 Wow... is it the Pedagne Mod Heli? Maybe i should ask them to use their animation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hidden_spectre 2 Posted February 25, 2006 yea man for sure u shud ask them........cuz i dunno when they wud be releasing their chopper.....SWAT insertion wud look gr8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XCess 0 Posted February 25, 2006 I agree with hidden_spectre's cargo anim suggestion. Don't care if it's realistic, it just looks cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WackyIraqi 2 Posted February 25, 2006 it may look cool but its humanly impossible to be on the skids of a chopper without grasping at least a "handbar" to hold yourself up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hidden_spectre 2 Posted February 25, 2006 it may look cool but its humanly impossible to be on the skids of a chopper without grasping at least a "handbar" to hold yourself up but i think they got their butts glued....lets take a closer look a slight tweaking in the anims wud do fine......

-SWAT- 1 Posted February 25, 2006 it may look cool but its humanly impossible to be on the skids of a chopper without grasping at least a "handbar" to hold yourself up As a SWAT you live dangerous I will see what i can do. When i got permission i´ll try to build in this animation... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XCess 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Would love to see an Everon Defence Force version of this.... Of everything actually Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
456820 0 Posted February 25, 2006 looks good about the anims i would make them look a little less in combat mode slightly lower the rifles but have it still look there ready to engage because i think it looks stupid for a long journey to have the rifle up in your shoulder looking down the sights all the way. And also make them look as if they are sitting down inside the chopper becuase it looks like theyre gonna fall out in that pic. However looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shashman 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Looks pretty good, although I don't like the yellow "police" title on the tail boom. It's either too generic, or uses the wrong font and shouldn't be yellow. I'd prefer a white version, with perhaps a blue stripe accross the fuslage, and black "police" title Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XCess 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Would be even better to make an unmarked version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shashman 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Indeed. A totally white version with just black registration on the tail boom like this one Would be cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1182 Posted February 25, 2006 Indeed. A totally white version with just black registration on the tail boom like this onehttp://helicomeca.free.fr/images....(2).JPG Would be cool  Yes it would, but as the topic title says "Police version" and the image you posted clearly says "UNITED NATIONS", it doens't quite fit. If you want to keep the yellow font you've already applied, make it all capitals e.g. "POLICE" instead of "Police" - I know its a minor issue, but its something I picked up on. Other than that it looks good, keep it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XCess 0 Posted February 25, 2006 I think he meant for us to ignore the UN bit But an unmarked police helo wold probably be black or blue anyway since they would have to paint over the writing to make it unmarked. I'm rambling nonsensical bullsh*t right now I think. If i make no sense ignore me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shashman 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Yes, I meant an unmarked version. That photo of a UN Huey is the best I could find to illustrate my point Most police forces around the world use white vehicles, with the addition of red or blue or green or whatever colour stripe said country's police force uses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1182 Posted February 25, 2006 Gotta love GOOGLE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shashman 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Gotta love GOOGLE! Yeah, indeed, gotta love Google. I entered White Huey, and that was the best picture result You'll find that most of the non white police choppers in the images resulting from that search you did are British... Look at any other European country's police choppers for instance, and you'll find they are white with a coloured stripe or feature (Blue or red in most cases) Italian State Police Belgian Police German Police Spanish Police Detroit Police Dubai Police There you go...

-SWAT- 1 Posted February 26, 2006 THX for all your replies... As i already said i plan to make patches with different writings. The Police writing is just an example. The suggestion to write Police in capital letters is very good and i think i will change it. I also consider to build versions in different colour. So be surprised Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobcatt666 0 Posted February 26, 2006 police depts usualy dip into military/goverment surplus aircraft to keep costs down. Usually if relesed from servce have been fully rebuilt to like new condition before turn in. Tons of UH!H and N models were litetyr given away to law enforcement and border patrol after 911.

We gotta do things different White helos look bad anyway. US Police helos are also dark blue/grey I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
