<3 Is the model and skin finished, or are there still a couple of things (excl. animating and coding) to be done? Oh, and the door can be opened and closed?

Yeah the main model and skin are pretty much done, got the lods and col meshes to sort out yet and yes all the doors are animatable.

It looks like J-Lo with those doors hanging out. You can just imagine it waddling around the map.

Ha no nice work my friend nice work.

User controlled or animated automatically?

Because the hind in POE2 has automatc doors...like landing gear comming out on jets... IMO thats really suitable for all choppers with doors and hatches in PR.

Automatic, like POE2's done via the landing gear.

When we did the Merlin we thought it might be cool to have player controlled door, but found it didn't contribute anything and "might" be the cause to the famous "merlin lag", as well as you had to have a co-pilot to open/close it which didn't help. Automatic seems the far better option.
