First Release.

The original helicopter was made by Owen Hewitt for Flight Simulator 2004. I converted it for GTA IV as good as I can and added some details.
This helicopter has the following features:

* three different Lod models
* custom moving rotor models
* four working, angled doors
* independent landing lights, navigation lights, strobes and one beacon on their right position
* wire cutters as extra part - If you don't like to fly with them they can be disabled using simple native trainer (car component 6)
* fuselage bumpmaps for detailed riffets (unfortunately it's not possible to enable liveries this way... maybe an update will follow)
* 4 car colours (seats have their own colour)
* dirt enabled and mapped
* illuminated instruments
* illuminated cockpit (using one greenish omni light... look careful at night :) )
* working skid (like on the normal maverick, but it doesn't hang down that far)
* every window is an independent breakable part
* detailed interior

 "Bugs":

* navigation lights don't disappear with tail breakoff (not fixable due to game limitations)
* If the helicopter lands with too high vertical speed you'll sink through the ground till the main body has contact (I'd like to call this a feature :P)

Install as always:

Changed the wheel size, animations, and added exhaust effects (works only on GTA IV up to Patch 0.4. I think)

This line belongs to the 4-colour section. Delete the old Maverick line and paste this between huntley and primo ;)
