I have improved the Chinook in 2 ways:

1. I rescaled it 10% larger to make it appear to better match real world dimensions.
2. I added rotors to the medium and far distance view of the Chinook, for non-Hi-D(etail) versions of the game. For those (non-Hi-D versions), the near view always had rotors but the medium and far distance view didn't, before. And, Hi-D versions always had rotors for near, medium, and far distances already, so this doesn't affect those.

You can download this package here: New, improved Chinooks

Nice looking model, shame i don't have Gunship anymore.

Thanks for the compliment.

I edited my original post above to say that the rotors I added to the package only affects people running non-Hi-D(etail) versions of the game. The Hi-D versions (if you installed this package before) always had rotors for near, medium, and far distance views already, so the new rotors won't affect those.

But the rescaling at 10% larger *does* affect both Hi-D and non-Hi-D versions of the game.

Oops, my bad.

I had included a test mission in the package to show off the Chinooks, but if you ran it, you might have seen Blackhawks instead. So, I fixed the mission, and re-uploaded the package a little while ago.

Also, I fine-tuned the scaling and texture-mapping in certain places on the model, so it's well worth re-downloading.

Here's the link again: Gunship! Chinook

my apologies.

Over the last week or 2, I've added lots more improvements to the Chinook, Sea Stallion, and some other models and tools, so check them out at the link in my sig below.

I've also added tons of enhancements to 3dz Studio for Windows

Have you ever seen a pic of a Chinook doing a pinnacle maneuver? This is pretty cool (original 1800x1200 is at : ch47 Pinnacle maneuver )
