Updated USN packages in the download as well from Hartwig. Thought I had these flying in FSX with USMC FPs, but have yet to find them. Spotting at KNGU in P3Dv5.3, now need to figure out why the rotors are not turning.

Jorgen, completely forgot about the MH-53 paints and AI airfile conversion found in the Downloads by Joe Coastie. The model from Simviation is showing as MDLX in AIAE, so should work. You will need this older airfile to get them flying as AI. Also, old thread from "mins" with plans to do b...

Initially thought the drop tanks looked too big, then research has shown like other in-house updates, the Israelis changed the tanks.

On Simviation in FSX Helicopter downloads, E. Richard has a 2021 FSX conversion of the R. Kelly CH/MH-53, I'll probably try it out in P3Dv5.

Also I would look at using the "ch47D_414" model to get the longer nose. As far as I can see, only US MHs and Canadian CH-147F use the larger fuel tanks.

I pulled some of Menno's Ft. Campbell package that has textures for 160th SOAR Chinooks to fill in at JBLM, but those look great. Need to convince someone to add the IFR probe and big fuel tank sides.

Top models of the D are MBAI, CH-53Es are the flyable non-AI R. Kelly model. Not sure the status of the MBAI E's.

Working through the paints, Philippine AF C-130H Part 2 have their nose numbers flipped (between windscreen and radome).

Joe, they work fine if you have the correct version, great to check models and I recommend Martin's AIAE program if you want to dive into AI. To fill your SoCal skies, get the large NAS North Island JYAI Seahawks package featuring the outstanding JYAI MH-60R/S Seahawks. On the UH-72, not alot yet as...

Nice work, so when do the other Euro forces get a callsign layout like this?

Steve,
Just downloaded Part 1 of the updated 130B/130H-30/L-100 textures, amazing weathering of this workhorse transport. Small naming issue for C-130R HAF #741, texture sheet calling for JYAI_C-130J_T.dds verse the included xxx_C-130H_T.

Just in paint.net, in sim is fine. It may be a setting I have switched on or something.

Thanks again, when I pull these up in paint.net, the alpha channel comes up 1st and pixelates the texture?

Mark, can you upload the T-6s as well?

DL, I had some hope with SWS adding AI carrier ops to a moving boat (dev of the Midway, F-4B etc for FSX/P3D) after a teaser was released years ago, but seems they have moved on to fully supporting MSFS with civilian projects. This is still a great way to have Naval Aviation in the sim with the AI l...

-151 did have a nice toned down dark gray look, but I see they went back to color on the CAG jet now. I'm thinking about moving back to Gimp over Paint.net as I also have an issue getting the "vector" you mentioned on the nose numbers (modex) for both sides. I can only get the italics on o...

Thanks for taking those on, I just had the paintkit open looking at how to do the new "Vandy 1", all black VX-31 F-18F.

The 163rd Fighter Squadron (Indiana Air National Guard) will be switching back to the F-16 (currently fly A-10's). The transition started on October 2oth when two F-16's arrived at Fort Wayne. https://scramble.nl/military-news/second-time-f-16s-for-blacksnakes Too bad we never had an older MAIW pac...

Joseph29, it's a Navy thing to abbreviate everything (well US mil as a whole). Good info Martin as I looked through my Hornets and saw they pop up in your program as P3Dv4 already. Just to add as I have seen others get confused with FCLP, hook is up and no shore based traps. The emergency field arre...

Thanks gents for re-visiting the NBAI Super Hornet models, just had a question regarding the FCLP airfile changes not listed in the read-me. Seen the previous "wet" airfiles used in the past, does the FCLP airfile allow for a quick touch-n-go and any other adjustments for the AI to fly a t...
