Usual issue with quite a few aircraft -

Lack of quality 3-views WITH cross sections.
Can't do a lot without them.
Some manufacturers are willing to send you stuff if you email and ask them.

Scotty,
No shortage on pic's of the Eurocopter Tiger but I know what you mean about the wire frame. Perhaps I can find something another way, there are always options.

I seem to remember there is one in the ADF package,but i am not sure if it is a true AI one.

This is the ADF packaged Tiger, but this photo is as close as I have ever seen it. All I get in the sim is a set of lights flashing as it taxi's up the runway. The ADF package was really designed for FSX.

Not true - I packaged one for FS9 and one for FSX. All the models were exported as FS9 models ('cause I'm a nice guy!) and tested on both platforms, so they should display fine. Maybe a video card setting is making it transparent?

You are correct there Rob, I still had your beta version loaded, sorry about that.

I do note that this is not a true AI as we know them. It has seven texture files and uses the old stemme_as_helicopter_1 as its airfile. Given the source file for this chopper, I'm sure MAIW could easily make it into a true AI that doesn't require a taxi - runway takeoff or near as many texture files.

How about it Rob.

Never done this before (prefer my own choice), but -
IF you can come up with a good set of 3-views with cross sections.....

I'll do it.

Best bet might be to contact Eurocopter directly and do some grovelling LOL.

You're welcome to it - it's a cut-down version of Rory Kelly's nice model. Both his and my files are GMax - give me an address and I'll send mine over (Rory's are at Hovercontrol). I'd love to see all the ADF AI helos with the same treatment!

Hi Scotty,

I was met with a thanks but no thanks from Eurocopter. I guess they have better things to do than sent me blue prints for a Microsoft flight sim project.

I did find some 3D views but not in wire form. You can find them in my folder on the FTP if you'd like to take a look at them.

Sorry Rob, I just cant get it to convert.

Hmmm, bummer! Trouble is the converter is limited in the size of models it will handle. Works okay FSDS to GMax but not too well the other way.

Rob,

Perhaps you could try pulling it down into a few smaller peices in Gmax and converting them to FSDS, then its just a matter of rejoining them again.
