Airwolf 1.0 (GTA Vice CIty Mod) PC

Airwolf 1.0 For GTA-VC

This was the first Airwolf related item to ever hit grand theft auto. Sadly it was never really messed with after its release besides a height tweak and an audio tweak to make it sound like Airwolf.

We can link you to four files for this

Airwolf 1.0 Manual Install Here
Airwolf 1.0 VCM Install Here
Modified Handling Manual Install Here
Redwolf Texture Manual Install Here

We shall update this when one of us has time.






Based on the games original Maverick helicopter model its been modified to look like airwolf, though it has mini gun animation from the nose location and Double missile launch (1 per wing) each time you fire. That's something that ideally needs fixing.
This mod requires the DMagic1 Wheel Mod
