Thanks for the kind words everyone,

I've decided to  proceed with the release of the Seaking since it's in an usable state already. It's neither as polished nor as complete as I orginally intended but it works.

I'm doing a "low profile" release so I can focus on the ship pack and I'll revisit the Seaking later.

Seaking Pack v0.5

There are 3 variants (Sikorksy SH-3A & SH-3H and Westland Mk48) as well as 2 static ones with folded rotor and tail to place on a carrier deck (SH-3H and Mk48)

For some reason I couldn't get the liveries to work with the AI SH-3A or the static Westland variant. No idea why, I'll investigate later but if anyone has a clue, please let me know.

EDIT: Eddie came up with a quick fix for this issue, it will be integrated into the pack but in the meantime have a look here

In the mission editor, the AI Seaking can be found under the helicopter tab (it should appear at the very bottom of the list)
The static object variant can be found under Static Object -> Structures -> "Static - Seaking"

Super Sea King Eightball, well done mate, this is excellent workmanship.

I'll have a close look at the Liveries issues and see if I can figure it out for you, should not be too difficult.  Might take me a bit of time, I'm recovering from Spinal surgery and cant spend more than a few minutes at my PC at the moment, but could not resist have a good look at this beauty, seriously impressed I am. 👍

okay, I think I see the problems, one is easy to fix, the other cant be fixed the way it is set up currently, I dont think.

 

You need to add another folder to the Liveries folder for the : seaking_sikorsky_sh_3a ; and put any new skins for the 3a version in there.  Remember to change True to False in the description.lua if you include the actual skin in the new skin folder. 

 

The statics are a different issue. There isnt a way to change the skins on Building Structures, the game will not let you do it. I have been asking ED for YEARS to change that to no avail.  So, if its nominated as a Fortification in the lua all you will get is the default skin.  I never did find a way around that much as I tried. 

Admiral and I found this when we did the Merlin so what we did was change our folded version to a flyable, just like a normal model, with a normal flayable lua - so technically if you tried to fly our Merlin folded it will fly just like the normal version - daft, but there you are.   That does work. 

Just make sure you name it as a Folded Type in the "Display Name" so that people know what they are getting.

PS:  You will need to create 2 versions, 1 for the Sikorsky and another for the Westland, that should overcome any conflicts.

If you wait a few days, possibly less, I will post new files to change the statics over to flyables with new liveries folders, I have got it working but it needs a bit of work to correct the static lua's, height off the ground etc etc, and a couple of other small things, instead of the statics showing up as structures they will now show up as static helo's, with liveries.

Apparently I forgot to tell you to tell you I couldn't open the zip files you sent me. It throws an error everytime 😐

Thanks a lot the help, mate! I hope you get better soon.

It doesn't really matter now but you can actually change the liveries for static objects.

i.e. FARP tent

And it worked with the US variant of the seaking too

Anyway, I'll integrate your fixes as soon I get my hands on the Iranian liveries and post an update.

I'll also post a paintkit ASAP.

Thank you all for the help.

Somebody asked for these so here they are, earlier than I intended. I normally like to see the Mod finished before I do stuff for it but I do like this Sea King so started on it last week:

Known issues -

The 845 Sqn Sea King is the wrong model, The RN Cdo Version has a simpler wheel arrangement and several other differences, so I had to fit things around what I had and the Sikorsky version fitted the need better than the Westland.  Likewise the Westland Rescue versions are also different models so again I fitted things to the model as best I could, sliding doors in a different place etc etc etc - its all a bit of a compromise. 

There is a bit of stretching on the model so some lettering appears a bit distorted in places, my software could not correct for that, sorry.   

I DO NOT KNOW HOW YOUR GAME IS SET UP, and there is no point in telling me - So if you have issues with either the flying or the static versions I suggest you check a livery that does work  and compare the description.lus in that livery to what I have done and make any changes that might be required.  This came about because some of the mod liveries did not work and I made a huge change to the mod to get it to work they way I prefer it, in that process I changed the description.lua's on some liveries to get them to work.

There are a couple of different liveries for each one, with a generic unmarked if you want to do your own.
