Great, looks like a re-work of the FS9 Alpha one, but happy with that!
Looks like some of Wafu's paints there.

Is the SH-3 a renamed S61?DaveB wrote:.. pity there's no S61 lurking in there.,,,
SH-3A, SH-3D and SH-3H USN variants (or paint jobs) are included in the package.

EDIT: Just took these screen grabs from the Virtavia Website:
Someone want to make an Apollo Command Module for FSX then you can re-enact the Apollo splashdowns?
Read about "66" here:

Hi Jim
For those of us old enough.. Navy '66' is a very emotive image that will live with us until the day we cease functioning
As for the S61.. BEA used the S-61N which had a great 'tit' sticking 'out front' and really didn't look like anything else. You could paint any of the variants above in BEA's livery but it still wouldn't be close to the S-61N I'm afraid

Re: FSX Native SeaKing...
They are all S-61 The Westland Seaking is a WS.61 for example, but the civil version.......S-61L (land) and S-61N (amphibious) was longer had loads of windows and a different rear rotor pylon.
The early aircraft, including BEA's in the RS days, did not have the radar but it was fitted later and poked through one of the foward lower windscreens
Despite the same basic designation it can be classed as a completly different aircraft, such are the vast differences

Indeed mate
Here's a link of AYOY taken in '02 (ex-BEA as it happens).. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Untitled ... 0236301/L/
It's like saying a 737-800 is a 737 but does it look like a '200? Well, yes but..

Re: FSX Native SeaKing...
I think G-AWFX was the first to have the radar.......G-ASNL, G-ASNM and G-ATFM definately didn't have it at first.
A little trivia about G-AWFX...It was rolled out at Gatwick after a major in 1968 and parked in a corner covered with tarpolians.
A couple of weeks later it was unwrapped.........it was the first aircraft to be painted in Flying Jack, but the livery had not been announced or launched and until G-AVFI the latest Trident Two was shown off in the smart gleaming green and red livery, the S-61 remained hidden.

Re: FSX Native SeaKing...
Does anyone know where that Cab is now? There is one on the USS Midway painted up in those colours, however I am told there are several SH-3's around the USA painted as "66". Would be good to see the real one.DaveB wrote:For those of us old enough.. Navy '66' is a very emotive image that will live with us until the day we cease functioning
