Huey Pack!

Hi folks,
This is an update on my previous Huey D repaint.

*** DOWNLOAD LINK ***
http://www.4shared.com/file/76119913/3c1850bd/hueypack.html

It has the Medevac and Slick Huey's, but includes a new repaint of Skipper's UH-1B Hog.
I have made the Ace of Spades with Shark mouth.





With this release comes also a repainted OH-6 Cayuse, or Loach.
I have made a Gunship again with sharkmouth, and a bare recon loach.






To top it all I present to you two Super Deformed choppers:
- The Super Deformed Slick
- The Super Deformed Loach

The turrets move of course, and since the Loach doesn't often have armament, I have given the co-pilot a handgun to play with.

Battle - Release II

Battle - Release II: the planes

Laddies and gentlewomen,

I present to you the fruits of the last 2-3 months' labour, the end result of my battle with Iceman, round about 30 different airplanes in all, and in various versions.

Fictional Repaints:

Starscream F-22

Old-school Starscream F-15

YAK-141 POLICE (extendable turret)

Boeing 767 Sitting Duck Airlines

The C-130, Il-76, and Boeing 767 weren't supposed to be included in this release, but I think they deserve a little spot in here as well. The C-130 made into a tiltrotor transporter with rear turret, and the Il-76 has become a WIG Ekranoplan. The civvie SDA 767 will hopefully inspire people to create a server airline flying the SDA colours.

My personal favourites are:
the CF-18 Tigermeet Hornet, Starscream and Starscream, and the F-8 Crusader.
Most time spent on is:
the MiG-29 Swift paint... gave me many headaches.
The one that turned out surprisingly well is:
the YAK-141 Police plane. It's got an extendable bellyturret, and it's bad-ass.

I hope you'll enjoy the planes as much as I have been doing for the last month!!
Happy flying and regards from New Zealand!

YS Major

PS, should there be anything wrong, please tell me about it and I can re-upload the pack to make it alright.

UH-1D Huey

To go with Battle 'Perseverance': a fairly detailed UH-1D Huey repaint.
Original model is from Skipper's UH-1B, and I changed the pilots as well.







The doors close with Thrust Vectoring button, and the gunners shoot at everything that has a different IFF, so be sure to tell them when to cease fire.



Have fun!

Battle - Release I

This is my release of 3 sceneries of YS Flight themed 'Battle'.

They consist of:
Battle - Liberty


A fictional map of a European region. Featuring cliffs, a city to defend, and many start positions for attacking forces, including a naval force.

Battle - Courage

A fictional map of a Desert region, actually a downscaled lay-out of the Persian Gulf around Iraq, Kuwait, and Iran. Featuring two opposing airfields, IFF 1 and IFF 4, and villages in between IFF2. Some oiltankers and oilrigs are neutral, but others belong to the enemy. You need to identify the ships flying a red flag. The blue ships are friendly! This scenery has DESTROYABLE airstrips, and oil pipe lines to defend and attack!

Battle - Perseverance

A fictional map based on Vietnam of the 1960's. There is Vietcong hiding in the bush, and villages are neutral IFF2! Seek and destroy the VC, search and rescue a downed pilot, and return to base on USS Ticonderoga.

**************************

B-24 Liberator and P-47 Thunderbolt

I haven't released anything for a while now, but that's because there will be a monster release soon.
I've been making a whole bunch of repaints for my battle with Iceman, but I got a bit sidetracked and found this B-24 mesh I had lying around.

DOWNLOAD LINK:
http://www.4shared.com/file/71668618/72a87b4b/b24_p47.html

So I made it into a YS release hopefully to go with Masa-AT's B-17. The B-17 is a bit heavy on the polygons, and so I trimmed as many poly's off the B-24 as I could, and I used some parts from the 17, such as the topturret, the belly turret, and the MG's, pilots, and gunners, which I redid in gepolyx.

I have retained the B-17's flight characteristics in the DAT file, because I couldn't really replicate the difficult flying characteristics of the B-24. It's a heavy bomber, so it moves slowly, needs quite a bit of take off distance, and has tons of turrets (which should all work properly now! God, it was incredibly hard to get all of them to move and shoot in a generally correct direction!).



I put some noseart on, choosing Lucy Floozy and Lucky '42 as good names.
The pin up on Lucy Floozy is modelled after the 'Strawberry Bitch' B-24 in the USAF museum.









It's fairly detailed, and I used the cockpit from the B-17 with all the dials.

As a surprise add-on I have also put two repaints of BNI-pack's P-47N Thunderbolt in this ZIP file. I've always been surprised that this beautiful machine has only been made once, and there was room for improvement, so here it is!
I took the P-47N and I trimmed off as many spare polygons as I possibly could, straightened out some random polys, and made a razorback canopy for a P-47B.
I kept the bubble canopy for a P-47D, and both of them will make fine escort fighters for the Liberators.

Press 'bomb door' button and the droptank and pylons will dissappear for picture purposes. If you want to hang some bombs underneath though, keep em there.



The DAT is unchanged, and it flies wonderfully!
Hope you enjoy both planes!

Whispercraft

My latest adaption for the world of YS: the Whispercraft!

DOWNLOAD LINK:
http://www.4shared.com/file/74065083/463e715f/whispercraft.html




It features in The 6th Day with Arnie Schwarzenegger, which actually wasn't a bad flick in my humble opinion. I found the mesh somewhere on the Internet, might've been turbosquid or something, and it was a really really good mesh to use for YS. Not many poly's, clean, well constructed, so all I had to do was take it apart, and glue it back together with DNM viewer,



You might remember the one thing that makes it special: rotorblades that turn into wings at a certain speed. Well, I have managed to recreate that, however, the limitations in YS flight animations don't make the process very smooth looking. In fact, I had to put to CLA 3 rotors on top of each other, and with CLA 1 variable wing turn one of them around on top of the other so they would counteract each other and the wing wouldn't move at a certain speed.





Sounds great dunnit? Well, it works as well, but not before the blades kinda chop straight through the plane while one rotor CLA 3 turns around to the other. It doesn't take long fortunately, so you might just want to choose to close your eyes for the second that the blades convert, and pretend it looks great.

It was a concept that was actually researched, and it might still be, as a viable solution to the problem of speed limitations of helicopters. Rotorblades have problems with going faster than the sound barrier, and so you have to go to a fixed wing in order to make some speed. It would be a really cool thing to have flying around, but sadly it's still Science Fiction, and we can only imagine what it would be like to fly in. The military would be using it for sure though. It's fast. It can hover. It can carry troops, and weapons. And it looks cool.



So, I've made some military versions, and one special version: Specops!
This beauty has 4 commando's in the back, a red light for night flying (press flap), and a huge scary looking gun turret I borrowed from GAC's South African Hind chopper (I wanted the coolest looking gun after all).

Credits for Welnio for making the gunpod. I took it from his beautiful Kiowa chopper.
Credits to the person making the mesh. I don't know your name but you've got talent, whoever you are!
Credits for someone making the pilot and wings as well, It came from the Apache I got from Skipper, but he's got it from elsewhere as well I heard, so I kinda lost track.
Credits for Soji for making this fantastic game! Whoo! Let's hear it for the man with the plan!
