This is a blast from the past! I made this model some two decades ago and it was my first 3D modelling attempt for anything. Learning how to assign all the values and animation things was a steep learning curve and I was so proud of the result.
These Victoria Police helicopters are quite special to me as I grew up with their sound and sight constantly in the skies of Melbourne, Australia. I started Gazelle and Blue Thunder models but never had time to finish them before MSFS moved on. Once I realised how much I could affect the flight dynamics of the model, I highly-tuned it to give me more realistic and sensitive, more complicated handling like I believe a real helicopter would have, and with the extra 20 knots the Dauphin had over the default 206 JetRanger it felt like a really much better experience and very quickly became my go-to helicopter in MSFS.
The sound recording was my own original recording of the actual helicopter I modeled (VH-PVA). That's my my face on the pilot (right side) and my friend Paul is on the left side, and I think I made it so our heads turned when the pedals turned. I think my friend Anthony may have been in the back. Our faces all got a bit squished as I wasn't able to model faces very well.
One thing which I was determined to animate well was the suspension on the wheels. I wanted the wheel spats to have travel like on the real thing, so when the helicopter is set down they travel up the struts a little like the wheels are on shocks. I can't be 100% certain but I think I also linked the FLIR (infrared camera) ball to the pedals also so it rotated like the crew faces did.
Thanks for the nice review.
