Erickson Air-Crane

The Air Crane is a very special model for me. Start working on first prim set 2007, long time before i had any idea about scripting. Since then i learned lot about the havok engine and scripting in SL. Since 2009 i write the most realistic helicopter scripts in Second Life. Now at end 2011 i put all my knowledge into this helicopter. The 5 primsets and the containing scripts, especially the HUD is the most complex thing I ever built in SL and I spend presumably hundreds of working hours on that helicoper. I never want to sell this very personal peace of art but changed my mind. This helicopter should be something very special. Something exclusive:

- Changed my mind and reduced from 99 to 68 items i will sale

- Each Air Crane is a custom product with a unique famous name (see sub page) on the front. This is a tradition they do in RL

- Each Air Crane will have a unique serial number started with XY-001. First 2 letters are pilot initials

- Serial number counting upwards. Number and delivery sequence is same the orders come in

- Delivery time about 5 days after order

- If I am offline for holidays or real life it may can take a longer time to be delivered

- The Sikorsky Air Crane from Real Flight needs maintenance each 2 flight hours! Maintenance Service Packs are available at the vendor

Erickson Air Crane 2nd Life dimensions and facts:

- Total length : 29.5m

- Main rotor : 24m

- Tail rotor : 4.2m

- Height : 6.7m

- Amazing crane and payload functions. Working grid wide where sim is script enabled and not blocked by Ban Line's

- The pilot can use all functions with the crane. Also the Copilot can. But very nice and helpful have a crane operator on board

- 3 different changeable payloads as attachment

- Firefighter attachment (payload 3) with working water drop and spray

- The Air Crane is build with factor 1:1,2 to RL to have good relation to SL avatar size

- Copilot and Crane operator can also fly the Air Crane. The crane operator (while hovering) with restricted steering possibilities

- Very realistic HUD for each crew member with working instruments and hover text displays for faster response and good and fast data read

- Menu driven attachment system for 3 different payloads like container, firefighter tank

- Realistic and fat compressed sounds edited by a rl sound engineer

- Amazing flight behavior for a realistic simulator feeling

- Inertia System. Again a step closer to realistic feeling

- Turbulence: This is a living simulator, you have to fly the air crane all the time

- Ground effect > Helicopter gets more lift in the first 15m over ground or water

- Thin Air effect > The more highly it fly your S-64 needs more pitch and power. Means your Air Crane has a maximum flight level ( ≈ 300m )

- Great mouselook view for all crew members

- Dynamic cam presets on the HUD

- Crane operator sitting backwards and see in mouselook the working area under the S-64

- Rotor-blades changes angle with cyclic steering

- Rotor collision detection

- The Erickson Air-Crane needs maintenance each 2 running hours!

The HUD while mouselook flight:
