All repaints are done minus a few HH-65's. I'll get the Blackhawks and C-130's pic up soon.

If I have understood this right congratulations on such a large package which I'm sure will be much appreciated.

Wow! This will be incredible.

[campbeme]

Great Idea, looks very good.

[Firebird]

That is some undertaking. It looks awesome.

[Joseph29]

Very cool! What model did you use for the Falcons?

Looks amazing, so which models did you use for the H-65 and H-60?

[cobbcfi]

The HH-65 is Antti Pankkonen's AS365N3 Dauphin, remodeled into the HH-65 Dolphin by John Devins and Keith Devins.. Having issues with "contact points", it looks like it's dodging bullets when it taxi's in AI.

The HH-60 is "Hover Control's" by Jordan Moore, not the most frame rate friendly and no LOD's so this one will be on mission most of the time to limit frame-rate hits at the CGAS's. Especially places like Clearwater FL.. Other airstation's the framerates are minimal..

The HC-144A is from here (MAIW), but the paint package has me working to clear up some issues with textures..

The HC-130's both H and J are HTAI..

All repaints are custom hand painted by me, and will be accompanied with complete flightplans and afcads. As you can tell, there isn't any afcad's for most CGAS's and if there is for the airport itself, the helo's are parked everywhere as they have no assignment..

I am not at this point seeking any permissions because this was my own project for myself "UNLIKE" most of what I have done in the past but by the response, I believe this is something I should definitely be sharing..

The Coast Guard Cutter Package is soon to follow..

All package's will be released individually so that systems taking a hit from unfriendly frame rates can choose not to install or to uninstall as they wish..



That is based on permission granted by the respected authors...

Oh and the Guardians are JB Simulations..

[cobbcfi]

I hope it's incredible, I started working on it 4 nights a week back in October of 2012.. I can't help it, I am a perfectionist by nature.. As a matter of fact, I just realized I have 42 Dolphins that I screwed up when I got complacent.. Should be a quick (ish) fix though..

Not sure how I over looked the engine nacelles on the Orange/Red Dolphins.. See Pic

[jrbirdman81]

WOW! I am really looking forward to this as well. Thank you SO much! This is one thing I have always wanted!! Best regards, Jeremy

[clickclickdoh]

Oh please do release this one. That's great work.

[cobbcfi]

Close-ups of the current fleet of U.S. Coast Guard aircraft.. I didn't remember to include the 2 G-V's but those will come later..

Remember, these are AI aircraft, don't look to closely at them.. Although I have spent a great deal of time trying to get them perfect!!

[cobbcfi]

The old and new "smokies".... I love that exhaust trail you can see for miles, good for the environment or not..

[cobbcfi]

The old Guardian still hanging around, as expected..

[cobbcfi]

And in the mean-time, let me work on the HC-144a and it's texture issue, also the Gulfstream needs some TLC as well.. Stay tuned..

I am up for Beta testers that would give me some feedback on "timing" and "frame-rates" if interested.. I wont give you the whole package but if your up for testing my (1. afcad 2. fleet 3. timing 4. destinations) then PM me or cobbcfi@hotmail.com and let me know.. If your like me, in an area that is close to heart (me-- Charleston SC and Air Facility Charleston/CGAS Savannah detachment) let me know and I'll work with you on destinations timing and the like. The U.S. Coast Guard is basically the only branch that doesn't have scheduled flight system so it's shooting from the hip for me but I have a pretty good idea of where to expect them. I will take no classified info for any reason, all flightplans are fictional but if you live nearby a CGAS and a helo or smokey leaves every morning at 5:23am, that will be included, regardless of where it's actually going.. Unless you know

Obviously I am going to release this complete package now so I would love some help..

Semper Paratus (I was never a Coastie, just a local commercial pilot that watched my fuel indications eak down as I got my own airshow from our local "Coasties" performing "hover operations" over the field.. Quote from me not to long ago {ME--"Coast Guard XXXX, Citation NXXXXX is holding short for departure runway niner, going on niner minutes, would you mind if we escaped your downwash?? THEM-- Citation NXXXXX, Coast Guard XXXX stepping aside for departures, sorry for the delay.. ME--Coast Guard XXXX, no worries, we paid for your fuel.. THEM--Citation NXXXXX, Thank you again.. ME-- Citation NXXXXX taking the active and rolling for straight out departure runway niner Charleston Exec, local traffic watch out for our Coast Guard practicing on the field, they are watching out for you. So-long}

[Joecoastie]

As a retired Coastie aviator I am looking forward to your package.
I probably have most of the aircraft flying in my FS using all the same models, just never did get into scenery. Adjusted afcads for parking and the one ECGAS I uploaded.
The only thing I regret is the unavailability of a decent looking AI Falcon. The front of the DJ Falcon just isn't right. About two years ago a chap in Russia had some pics of a beautiful Falcon 20 along with the HU-25 that he was working on, but he never released them.

I'd be willing to beta for you for FSX installation.

Your right, the JD Falcon does the Guardian no justice. It was hard for me to accurately paint the aircraft because it just doesn't fit the real Guardian. But the fact that it is being phased out quickly, I guess we'll have to make do, it's now or never..
