Help with a flyable Seahawk helicopter

Post by Joseph29 »

Over at Hovercontrol I found a Sikorsky MH-60S Knighhawk (file name is Sikorsky_MH-60S_Knighhawk.zip). It was made by Hill Viking. This helicopter was made for FSX but I am having a small problem with it in FS9. The rotor blades are a solid grey color. Now he also made a Seahawk, Rescue Hawk, and a Jayhawk helicopter that all work fine in FS9.

Is there anything I can do so the rotor blades are not a solid grey color? The other models display the rotor blades fine.

I had a similar problem with an aircraft and the lads on here helped me out, with my problem it turned out to be a missing file in the textures, look in the ones that are OK and see if there is a prop or rotor file missing in the problem one.
It may be different on your model but worth a look unless someone else comes on and points you to the right answer.

I checked and there is a rotor file in there. The name is rotor.bmp. It is weird because the other Seahawk models he made work fine in FS9.

Try swapping the rotor bmp from one of the models that works OK.

Well that sort of worked. The main rotor displays fine now, but the tail rotor is still a solid grey.

Well I am guessing that there is another texture for the tail rotor that you need to swap as well.
