FSX Cera Bell412

[CG_1976]

One thing they could improve or an idea is like the Dodo offer a skill level so all can enjoy and work up to a full cold start. While i enjoy the bell412 from them and is a great purchase for me with matt's OZ customs service paint im still on the ground scratching my head how to start this beast. Err I'll get it sooner or later. Were did i park my Jayhawk I need a stress relief flight.

Have you seen the start video a few pages back? it also helps if you are in DX9 with tool tips enabled. Hover the mouse pointer over each of the throtles and make sure they are wound down to 0% if they are not flick the idle stop switch (on collective) then reduce to 0%.

That may help.

I finally went and got it.

Ummm... CTD every time. Depending on how swiftly I can start the engines, I can get airborne, but sadly every flight has ended in a CTD so far.

ALL other Release Candidate models work so far (although there is a beta that is causing different heartburn - and has been removed to see if that affects the 412). FSX behaves 'normally' with other planes etc. (haven't tested all of course) Just the 412 causes a crash.

I have written to CERA on their page and I am repeating here just in case anyone else has similar funnies.

Oh - one thing that I have noticed... the attitude indicater has "stutters" on my installation, but the startup video doesn't.

Once I did get this thing flying for a while though, I found her not to be that responsive. Even with reality sliders maxed. Needs a bit of flight experience I guess.

I see some nice paints already guys - good going.

Chris,
what system specs to you have
I have it now since the lastweek and not a single crash to desktop at all

System - should be good enough. AMD FX62 dualcore, nvidia 8800 GTS 512, 3 GB Corsair RAM in two matched pairs, vista 64 and yes, I am up to speed on drivers.

I'll try an uninstall - reinstall later.

The paints easy enough to do the problem is the wrong model (no radome or hoist).

Bruce,
I think until we may get the right model a semi real without radome or hoist will be ok

gajit,
How is your DHFS repaint coming along?

Thanks

[jetstreamsky]

Done a green one

Almost there, but the lighter green is too bright and applely for the Griffon, see here http://www.airliners.net/photo/Canad...fon/1475779/M/ and http://www.airliners.net/photo/Canad...fon/1507753/M/

Also the markings like 'Canada' and the Roundel aren't black, but olive green

[djscoo]

How many sheets are there to the paintkit, and is it relatively user-friendly?

The quickest way I've found is to switch everything oun the overherad console 'on', everything on the center console 'on' and then on the collective start eng1 then eng2, then increase engine rpm up to the green on the individual rpm gauges until the RPM light goes out.
