"NEW 75 & 38 BRAVO PICS"
DIRECTOR JEFF JANKOVICS #11 GOLD MEMBER |

New Screenshots I'd like to acknowledge two add-on programs that made some of these screenshots possible Flight One Software's Heli-Traffic 2009 and Active Camera. Heli-Traffic allows you incredible freedom of choosing any one or as many different model helicopters that you already have in your Microsoft Flight Simulator program. AI (Atrificial Intelligence) helicopter traffic brings amazing interactive flight activity, such as realistic take-offs and landings, including hovering of any rotorcraft that you choose, which can make for some exciting and challenging formation flying. You can also direct the AI helicopters to land and take off anywhere you choose, on or off an airfield or airstrip. Active Camera gives you the freedom to place your camera anywhere inside the cockpit or anywhere outside the aircraft, to create some amazing screenshots. Jeff Jankovics 38 BRAVO OF THE WHIRLYBIRDS MODEL BY LASSE LINDH REPAINT BY TOM HEAVERLO & JEFF JANKOVICS COURTESY OF LASSE LINDH, OUR JEFF JANKOVICS & RC FRIENDS |
With the overwhelming reaction that was received
from the recreation of the Whirlybirds Bell 47 G
75 Bravo, (over 2,000 downloads) the repaint team of
Tom Heaverlo and Jeff Jankovics, knew that 38 Bravo,
would have to follow. Tom called on expert Swedish
aircraft sim designer, Lasse Lindh, to see if he would
be interested.
Lasse eagerly said he would, but may require some
background assistance.
Tom contacted his repaint partner, Jeff, who provided Lasse with drawings, pictures, and sound clips. The result of this 3 man "Team" effort has produced this beautiful looking, realistic sounding, and gracefully handling Bell 47 J helicopter model for MS Flight Sim. The model is currently being repainted by Tom and Jeff, to replicate 38B, as close as possible. COMPUTER SIMULATION AND R/C MODELS
From the "Whirlybirds"
television show that ran in the 1950's and '60's, helicopter N975B, or
"75Bravo". This repaint of the Gmax
Bell
47 G2 by Jean-Marie
Mermaz was created for the loyal 25 million viewers that watched the weekly
television series, and as a tribute to Kenneth Tobey (1917-2002) who played
pilot Chuck Martin. Textures for the skid model only!
