Point Mugu has a new Bloodhound: https://s31.postimg.org/agdrsg5ob/image.jpg And Pax River also has a new bird: https://s31.postimg.org/91c73vwx7/image.jpg and a line up of "some" more: https://s31.postimg.org/91c741p97/S3a.jpg 58 different textures, from all squadrons that operated the Vi...

Did you use VFR or IFR flightplans for the AI? With VFR, they stay with the take off runway for landing. With IFR they should switch to the designated landing runway.

Flying around, and getting low on fuel? The tanker is inbound. https://s1.postimg.org/2c22jngzdb/s3_refuel.jpg The animation is now triggered at 6000 feet. Does anyone know at what altitude the Viking would have been refuelling other aircraft? For the moment still only for FS9, I do not have much sp...

Here is an update on my upcoming S-3 vikings. Finishing different layouts and starting on the textures. For now there are models for the S3, ES3 and US3, with/without folding wings, tie downs, fuel tanks, cargo pods, maverick and harpoon missiles. I am also working on a deploying refuelling basket, ...

It is nice that you all like the model.

An Israeli package is on the way, including flightplans and up to date serials.

A Ch-53E/MH53E is in the planning, but first I will finish the S-3 viking.
Work has been busy lately so not much time to model, but I will post updates when I can.

I think you refer to the repaints released by Hartwig Ullrich. Those are for the CH53E from Rore Kelly. Not my model. My package is not in the library yet.

This project has been finished and uploaded to the library. It should be in the library in the coming hours/days.

Hot weather slowed down production last week, laying in the shadow outside looked like a better option then sitting in an hot room working on textures. But progress has been made.

Some waypoints were made by me, some by others, but I forgot who. Like more people, I have collected a lot of waypoints through the years.
The Singapore waypoints were made for my own use when I made flightplans for the Singapore Air Force, forgot I also used them in other flightplans.

They say some things come in two, in this case two Steve's. Thank you both.

The model now has the good size, time to finish the last textures.

Thanks Steve,

The figures from that website are like the dimensions I used for my model.
And being a website from the Sikorsky Historical Archives, I thrust these numbers more then wikipedia.

When I started with the model I made some mistakes with the size of the aircraft, later I resized it to it's correct size. Or that's what I thought. While comparing my model to other models, it looks like the Rory Kelly's model is substantial bigger, but the ALPHA model is exactly the same size as m...

Small update: the textures are almost done, only the extra IAF serials and some small updates on the others to do. I have found some small issues, most are texture related, and I have to remap some textures, but with all the different versions, it takes some time. @Lewis: I have done some resizing, ...

That is an interesting thought, thank you for mentioning it, I will consider it.

The beast found a good home in Norfolk And before anyone points it out, I know the tailcode is wrong, it will be replaced :wink: Next: time for the USMC http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a404/Fokket50/RH53_zps7ctcc8h0.jpg http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a404/Fokket50/RH53-3_zpsgycem5fz.jpg htt...

There will be versions with folding wings.

All HEER were transferred to the GAF, but as I am more into retro I only did repaints for HEER at the moment

Hi Giorgio, At the moment I have done 14 choppers for Tel Nof, and the parking radius is set at 12 meters. I can do more repaints , just need a bit more research on the serial numbers that are active. eg : I have repainted 666, but that would be retro as it crashed in 1996, it would make a nice pack...

Austria

As mentioned before, I have been working for some time on the CH53 models. And I can announce that it is in the final stages. All lods, versions and the fde/air are done, thanks to Steve Holland and Chris Brown. At the moment I am finishing the textures for the different users. The model has ofcours...
