Customizing A Tornado
I have seen many requests for help customizing cars
But I have never seen one for help on customizing a
helicopter. I know they must exist because I've seen a ton
of requests for an in game Heli Customization Garage.
which thanks to CabooseSayzWTF is now a reality.
It is impressive work I must say!
The only problem is that the mod is seriously unstable in my game. Which, to be fair, could be and
probably is, caused by the mods that I already have installed. Still, I would like to customize helicopters
so for me it it's going to be done through the xtbl.

Customizable Helicopter Mod
That's right, it's finally here. It has been done. The impossible is not impossible YET AGAIN!! People back in the day from what I have heard, used to make there heli's into the airplane/car/or boat vehicle category class. This method does not use that way. This is a actual working helicopter...

The easiest place to start customizing is the paint job. There are seven
paint slots not counting the interior and the glass. they are:
Body Color1, Body Color2, Body Color3, Trim Color1,
Trim color2, trim color3 and trim color4.

The first thing to notice is the Body Color1 entry. It is
<Color_Set>Military</Color_Set> and we want it to be
<Color_Pool>Gloss Insane Red</Color_Pool>
If we leave it as Color_Set then it will read from a predetermined
catalogue and the color will change randomly each time the
vehicle spawns. Since we are building a custom Heli we want it to
spawn the same color each time.
For this Heli I have chosen a palatte of Red, Black, White, Pink and Purple.
Here is how the colors are laid out:
Body Color1 : The Man Body of the Vehicle
Body Color2 : The Set Of missiles on the inside
Body Color3 : The set of missiles on the outside
Trim Color1 : The Edge Of The Top Rotors
Trim Color2 : The Rest Of The Rotor Blades
Trim Color3 : The Chain gun
Trim Color4 : The Circles Above The Chain gun
Mechanical Color: The Interior
Glass Tint : The Color Of The Cockpit Glass

Small Mag customization Tutorial Complete
Creating -or- modding a vehicle to use as a gang car. I am including a copy of the xtbl with the variant already added in the 'Ready To Be Crunched' folder. I have included this file because I know it is error free. So there should be no problems when it is crunched. (just drop all the files...
www.saintsrowmods.com
Now put an entry for it your car_dealerships.xtbl
Sparrow Aircraft is a good store to put it in.
Open your Car_Dealerships.xtbl and search for Sparrow aircraft
Here is the entry from my file.
<Dealership>
<Name>SRM_Sparrow_Aircraft</Name>
<VehicleList>
Just copy the following entry at the bottom of the Sparrow Aircraft section then
save,
<Element>
<Vehicle>Heli_fighter_01</Vehicle>
<Variant>Beater</Variant>
<Cost>1</Cost>
<Type>Misc</Type>
</Element>
Drop this file into the modders directory as well and then remake your patch.
Drop the new patch in your Saint's Row folder and enjoy,
I will include all the vehicle files in the zip including an already crunched cvtf file.
