NAS North Island Seahawks

[ricki429]

Having been completely new to painting AI aircraft, I decided to start with NAS North Island as it was a large hole in the US skies....ended up doing 173 paints! It was a very steep learning curve but tonight I finally got to submit it to MAIW - hopefully it'll be available soon.
Didn't have many resources to work with so the fleet is the best I could get it using heli database and flickr. I understand some schemes or serials may be out of date but atleast NAS North Island is now busy!

Hi,

it is great to see such a population of helicopters on the base.

Hope this helps.

Maybe a couple of 2048X2048 textures have slipped through!

Much thanks

You are right about those 2048 sized textures and there are a couple of scheme issues as well.

Rick is aware of them all and is beavering away to fix them all the issues before releasing an update.

[BaiterOne]

Brilliant, Mark, well done, all the aircraft pass the texture test now.

[Tranquil]

Brilliant, Mark, well done, all the aircraft pass the texture test now.

No problem Walter, its just a quick fix until the update comes along! Rick really did jump in at the deep end with this pack! but at the end of the day it really is a magnificent set!

Much thanks

Mark

Has anybody got a NAS North Island AFCAD that can accommodate this many Sea Hawks ??

I currently have the John Stinstrom Scenery but its designed for 1992 and only has a few parking spots at present. I'm in the
process of adding some rotary-wing parking to his afcad now but not sure if I should share !!

[ricki429]

I have applied all the corrections but im not sure how to update the file uploaded - hoping somebody can help me out?
I'm surprised only a few errors were in the pack given i have zero experience at this But thanks as ever to Tranquil mentoring me!
There is an AFCAD in the pack with a space for each plus visitors...

Not sure that would work in FS9 though ?
