I'm also trying to remember what episode the scene is where they're flying in the chopper and it starts dropping and swerving as though something is haunting it. They look at each other and say something about getting home right away. Anyone remember?

Great idea, by the way John Solo!

BTW, I don't think this thread belongs in the KKC. Probably the main forum makes the most sense.
Hi Styles,

It could be Ki'i's Don't Lie.....at the end of the show the box holding the ki'i opens up under the chopper seats and the chopper starts to sputter until they close the box.

Ki'i's Don't Lie, I think.
Exactly! At the end when they're flying the Ki'i back to its resting place.

Yes, but as I've explained it, the chopper scene in "ki'is don't lie" does not contain any interesting AUDIO FILES! What I need is TC vs Magnum dialogs in a "pursuit spirit".... Maybe those kind of sentences can even be found in some car pursuit scenes! I mean words like "That's this car!!! Follow them!!!" or "Faster!!! We gonna loose them!" or "Don't move toward them! They are shooting at us!!!" etc etc


By the way, I've found a 3D model of the T.C HDQ, for the future FSX scenery of the mission! 8)

Try season 1, episode 15 "Don't say goodbye"
I think there's a scene where TC and Magnum get lost in the helicopter and land in the street to get directions.

Try the pilot episode helicopter scene with Magnum and TC looking for the boat off Kahoolawe.

There's also By It's Cover when they get shot at unknowingly making a drug delivery.

I don't know the episode, but they tail a car with the helicopter and lose it in a tunnel. Anyone?

I don't remember the name either but I remember Rick and TC were tracking down license plate numbers and they came up with the Steve Mcgarrett.... maybe that will help

Check out season 3 episode 3.16..Birdman of Budapest for scenes in the chopper with TC, Magnum and Higgins conversing while en route to Tessa's sanctuary.

Work in progress..... It's Sketchup screens, so no sky, no ground....etc

I have to ask Pahonu if he's agree to let me use his fabulous 3D model! And almost completely re-texture it!
I'm working on vegetation, as you can see...

Looking good so far.

Found another episode with sort of lengthy footage of TC and TM conversing in the chopper while they were doing "surveillance" on Clarence's wife, "legs" and her lover, "suntan". While airborne, they also "spied" on a couple whales doing a mating dance! :lol:
Season 3
Episode 23: Faith and Begorrah

Lovin the lads and the 308! :magnum:

Fine by me. :D Post some pics when you're done. Adding vegetation was so boring I gave up!

Thanks Pahonu! 8)

Adding vegetation is not that difficult... I've found some information on the web about typical Hawaiian plants and trees, searched each of them on 3D Warehouse, inside Sketchup, then imported them by one click! The deal is to mix 2D and low poly 3D models, to avoid framerate issues in FSX! (I've found 1 million polygons hibiscus!!!)

Looking great John! Can't wait to see the final product.
The more plants the better - it's job security for me!!! :wink:
Try and find some cereus mandevillus......Higgins loves them!
Have fun with the build.
