navyBtown Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I so happy to see that the Sea King is getting some loving again, I enjoy having the SH-60 being my plane guard but I like to change things up and I'm hoping to make a Vietnam era carrier mission with the A-4E-C down the road. Are there any plans to release this soon or a way I could get just the SH-3 skins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed-of-heat Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 probably it will be failed on the IC but you can re-activate SH-3W and Ka-52 in the Scripts\Database\db_countries.lua ... ...or you can use the common way through Saved_Games folder (add the choppers to the list or put them into an Encyclopedia-library) ;) Could elaborate on "the common way through the Saved_Games folder" please? I didn't think you could modify db_countries.lua via saved games? How would you do that?

monkie Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Bump Bump.. did Johnny Propeller ever release these skins for the SH-3? I would love to see the 70's 80's era Sea Kings running around the super carrier, great work and I hope it isn't lost in cyberspace.

monkie Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 No reply, hopefully his work will be shared with us in the near future. In the meant time I took "deathmechanics" RCAF paint as a guide and did my best to capture the look of the 70's and 80's era SH-3's. Considering they are older AI models I think they still look good and are easy on the frames, just what you want from them. They do seem a bit over scaled but nothing over the top. Didn't mean to take any of Johnny's Thunder but I just had to see the Sea Kings on the carrier. 1 Sager Laptop, i7-6700k 4.00GHz, 16GB RAM, GTX 980M, 1920x1080, TIR 5, Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what happened to Johnny and his work, most likely got tied up with life and had to step away or something. Is there any way you can share the skin work you did monkie? I've been working on a Vietnam mission for some time and I've been wanting to change out the default skin for a while, and I'm not sure just what RAZBAM SH-3 version is going to look like.

monkie Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 yeah shoot me a PM and I can email them to you would be the best way I suppose. I had no idea Razbam was making a SH-3, is it just AI or flyable? As a side note, the SH-3 AI bounces on it's tail wheel when landing so I took the UH-60 and pasted it over the SH-3 in the Helicopterconst.lua and it fixed it. There might be an easier way but that is what I found worked for me.

Yeah, RAZBAM is making an AI SH-3 for the Falkland Islands map, I do remember hearing a strong rummer that they may do a fully flying module once some of the ongoing projects are done or close to being done, but again it was a rummer and plans can change so who knows whats going on with that. On the subject of using the UH-60 to make the SH-3 tail wheel not bounce, does it change anything on how the SH-3 folds up once the aircraft is parked?

monkie Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 As far as using the UH-60 model no it doesn't affect the folding animation of the SH-3, it folds just fine after shutting down. The only small glitch is that the tail wheel is slightly sunk into the ground but it dosen't bother me and you could most likely tweak the gear position to get it just right if you really wanted to.

johnnypropeller Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hello guys, sorry for the time out of DCS but i'm more focusing on my real life flying career + porting my military sceneries over FS2020 to meet ends during the winter months while not instructing. i've been away of DCS for few weeks. if you want to ask more questions or get some raw files, i created a discord as its more easy to communicate. https://discord.gg/4XB4mf77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayrayblues Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Hi Johnny, looks like the invite to Discord has expired. I am interested in any skins you may have for SH-3, SH-53 or SH-60B. All of my carrier missions use a Rescue Helo script and the vanilla models are pretty lame at best. Any skin would be an improvement. :) Thanks in advance, Ray SLAVA UKRAINI MoBo - ASUS 990FX R2 Sabertooth, CPU - AMD FX 9590 @4.7Gb.

navyBtown Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Is anyone having a hard time getting the SH-3 to work again? For whatever reason, my copy of db_countries.lua from the RN & RCAF skin is making my DCS freezes at 11% in the load screen when I lunch DCS.

rayrayblues Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 No, not so far. The only problem (and we were told that IC would reject it) is every update or cleanup and repair I have to put it back in. SLAVA UKRAINI MoBo - ASUS 990FX R2 Sabertooth, CPU - AMD FX 9590 @4.7Gb.
