As you may be aware, the 'Blue Thunder' Helicopter i requested for someone to convert was kindly taken up by SkylineGTRFreak, who quite thankfully, made the helicopter exactly to my requirements ;)
However, even though the helicopter is completed and released, i have a request...
I have already asked SkylineGTRFreak but it seems he has quite a busy time with one thing or another; and because you've the relevant experience required to fulfill my request, i would like a small addition made to the helicopter...
As the helicopter has a dark appearance in general, even with the navigation lights which were added to the aircraft, it is very hard to see the aircraft when flying at night.
I was doing some research when viewing the movie and noticed that when Blue Thunder was flown in the night time, there are a few lights which i noticed.
I've watched the 'Making of Blue Thunder' and they actually stated that they had to add these lights to the fuselage because the helicopter was too dark during night filming.
Anyway, below are some screens of the movie which show the lighting and placement of them...which is present on both side of the airframe.
Here are the images showing the precise locations of the external lighting:
SkylineGTRFreak has informed me that the model is 'unlocked' and editable in zmodeler3 - I haven't got this software and obviously no experience in doing any 3D model editing.
I would appreciate it immensely if you could please add these additional lights to that aircraft.
Also, if the lights could be 'static' combined with the 2 front spotlights that would be great! ;).
If you would kindly do this modification for me, it would make the aircraft complete.
I didn't really want to ask SkylineGTRFreak again for more modding as i didn't want to bother him too much :/
I ask that you please consider this addition as i don't really know where to turn from here...
I wasn't sure at first if anyone would take up the task of producing this for me, and if it wasn't for @nathanjamesddg151 & @SkylineGTRFreak , this helicopter wouldn't have seen the light of day...THANKS A MILLION!!!
These guys are one of a kind and are very helpful with any questions you may have!
THX!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
@Knight Racer - I have to say that this new model completely changes the whole feel of the mod...I applaud you and your team for your hard work! - Well worth it ;)
@Knight Racer - I guess it's all down to personal preference really :/ - Even i'm not entirely happy with the sound but it's the best i can do...it's just so hard to get the right tone and balance!
@Knight Racer - Awesome update m8!, nice to see KARR in game as well ;)
Thanks to you and the team for the work! THX!
@SkylineGTRFreak - ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!...(Once Again!)
Far surpasses my expectations and livens up the fuselage...Fantastic job m8 ;)
Many, many kind thanks in advance! - You are one in a million my friend!
Awesome tank my friend! - Never have any issues with your mods and all of them are superbly modelled! ;)
THX!
I might add that the lights are just white when illuminated...

@Knight Racer - AWESOME job m8! (And your colleagues! ;) )
Everything as you say is now complete with the car, i can't think of any way to improve it now...Thanks!
@nightkarr - You did replace the actual .rpf files correctly with those inside the folders within the archive...?
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME MOD!!!
