I set up a master template. It has to be modified differently for each type but it gives me a guide to use that is far more consistent than trying to do it free-hand
A high proportion of the helos were set up with a code change to use the rotors in a different file than the body of the helo but there are a lot that were added that were built body and rotor sequentially in the SHP file
Finding them all is going to be all kinds of "fun"
What I need to know is if the novelty of this is going to wear off and end up being annoying
ALSO...... can I make the increased sizes work in the game and MOBHack and it looks like in some cases.....Not quite but MAYBE .... The max size MOBHack can handle that I know of right now is 109x109 pixels and if that is indeed the limit as I belive it is then some icons using two separate blades might get the changed rotors but need a bit of trimming to fit into the max allowed size
in the case of the Yak-24U a bit of he blade graphic had to be trimmed but it's not really noticeable
The front and back of the blade swirls have to be cut off, but it does leave most intact,......the question is......... is it really noticeable to you ? I see it but I also see its not too bad

Crunch time for those that are interested and those that might not be
This project will take me a while to complete but when it's done there is no going back
Attached is Icon0001.shp in a ZIP
Extract this to the MBT Game Data/ Graphics folder
There is one icon used for mi-8 and mi-17 changed to "rotating" blades and it can be found in these OOB's
Build a game using these and fly them around to test or build a game and play it. The date ranges in the OOB's for the units that use them is 1968 to the end of the years covered.
Use summer months as this is a "green" helo and while it may be used as green in some desert or winter set ups it is used as green in the summer for all listed
Comments yea or nay are needed before I dive into the very deep end.
This is a much more involved project than I expected it to be as every helo in the game will be changed and while many use common files for their rotors many more than I thought at first do not
Remember that MOBHack does not show the rotors but the game does

I agree with CH-47 and similar helos, given the limitations it looks perfectly fine as is.
I saw the list so guess you'll be busy. I think though better than dealing with one of my lists!?! And probably less stressful!?!
So, in the finest tradition of the service I volunteered to serve in...
