    174th Assault Helicopter Company flight Simulator

    I wasn't quite sure where to put this so I figured media might be a good place.

    I was up most of last night skinning Hueys as part of a 174th AHC package I'm putting together for Flight Simulator 2002. Flyable of course with working gauges. The airfield was made by Bob Holland and represents Duc Pho where the 174th operated from.

    The work is still preliminary but you get the idea. I'm not finished but I think so far it's coming along better than I had hoped for. I've played with this idea since 2008 so once it's all done it will be a comprehensive package.

    Here are some screen shots.

    First up is Easy Rider 2. Easy Rider 1 crashed due to tail strike. UH-1M 66-15242 One of only three of the original eight Shark gunships to survive Lam Son 719.

      'Cobra' UH-1M 64-14140 “Cobra”/"Woodstock" WO1 “Big Al” Harris KIA 8/29/71
      (C/E was Bob LeGault that day) Harris was the only casualty (ground fire) in this Shark UH-1M that was launched midday to cover an extraction NW of LZ Professional (A/C was Chuck Blake). Aircraft was recovered and lasted until “Unit stand-down” 11/71. One of only three of the original eight Shark gunships to survive Lam Son 719.

          Grim Reaper

          Last one for now. 'Grim Reaper' UH-1M 65-09540 One of only three of the original eight Shark gunships to survive Lam Son 719. …Then it was, at that time, converted to a “Mike”!

          Remember these will all be tweaked and there are more ships to come. I still have to skin out:
          Battlin bitch
          Mexican Express
          Texas Flag
          Maltese Cross
          Jolly Roger

          I also plan on doing a Witchdoctor and Dolphin slick.

          Hope you all like what you see so far.

              Battlin' Bitch AKA 'Madonna' UH-1C 65-09507 1971 colors.

              Maybe I'm the only one interested in this.

              Anway, I'm reading the after action reports for Lam Son 719 which I'm hoping to build a mission pack for and which the Sharks took part in. Historically there is a lot to build from. I have always wanted to make an Air Cav movie about Lam Son 719.

                Hello Lloyd,

                they look very nice. Are there any terrain mods that add detail to the landscape textures etc?

                  Thanks Patrick. Knew a Nam collector could appreciate this. Yes, there are terrain mods out there and tons of scenery. Some of the add on scenery adds whole jungle areas.

                  I did finish out the teeth and corrected the colors on Easy Riders tail.

                    Lloyd,

                    you should download FRAPS and record some fly-bys.

                        Fraps seriously affects flying.
