HM-14 Squadron's MH-53 Sea Dragons

[Joecoastie]

I've up loaded repaints and a small traffic file for 9 of the MH-53's of HM-14.
Should work in both FS9 & FSX. P3D ?

[Joseph29]

What model is this?

[Greg]

Published in the Hangar. Many thanks Joe!

Yes, I asked the question before I downloaded the paints. Now where do I find the base model? The read me doesn't say.

[Greg]

I believe they are on hovercontrol.com.

Flightsim.com: search for pavelow2.zip

I apologize for not including a source for the AI model of the MH-53. I have searched FlightSim, Avsim and Hovercontrol libraries and I have no idea where it came from. I may have made it myself years ago (FS2002) following the instructions found in "AI Helicopters 101: 'Jet Ranger Starter Kit'" by Holger Sandmann (aiheli_1.zip - Avsim and FlightSim).

One model can also be found in "hawaiian_airports_part_2.zip" by George Keogh in Avsim. However it does not include the "model.2" folder of the Sea Dragon.

Being as it is not my work I do not feel I can up load the AI aircraft file.

Here is the link for the AI helo. you need both the flyable and this file. The instruction of what to do are in the AI file.

Thanks,Chief ! I guess I didn't use the correct search term.
HM-12's birds later today. (then I can get the contractors back working on the buildings at NAVSTA Norva)

Unless I'm missing it never did model.2 in these download.

Are there any mods required to the AFCADs to accommodate the CH-53s, struggling to get them to appear.

Joe

When you get to HM-15 here is a good one.

[navychief88]

Make sure the parking code is correct between the aircraft config file and the AFCAD, and I set the parking to 80ft diameter.

[jimrodger]

For some strange reason I had to set the parking slot radius to 80ft even tho' the Aircraft editor says the aircraft radius is 23ft??

I've also got this problem, any ideas?

Jim

[navychief88]

Is that picture in FS9 or FSX

[jimrodger]

Sorry... FS9

Hi,

try as I might, the helicopters I see are armed with torpedoes and have guys (/gals) hanging out of every opening with machine guns.



I had to change the model from 2 in the aircraft.cfg file...

Not what I see in the image 9 or 10 entries below...

Thanks

Walter

You downloaded the PAVELOW version, use the links in the posts above, in those files there is a MODEL and MODEL 1, use the MODEL file for the Sea Dragon fuselage type

Thank you, Navychief88... Perfection Personified...

EDIT: Or, there again, mebbe I congratulated myself too soon.

Went back in to look at the AI helicopters - found them in 3NGU. Armed and dangerous!!!

Not the sleek one I had seen just moments ago when I had the .air file entry changed to 0, had selected the MH-53 as my aircraft and was looking at the preview.

I have changed the .air file back to 2, have replaced the model with the one from pavelow0369, and been in and out of the sim a few times, but I still cannot repeat that moment of joy.

I obviously fouled up in some fashion.

Maybe tomorrow will bring some light...

MORE EDITS:

Couldn't wait for tomorrow when I saw Gregs image...

Went back to the very start, worked carefully through it, followed all of the advice, and IT WORKS!!



Thanks

Walter
