Add SH-60B to Brazil

[Jack Bauer]

Simple request.

I've tried to add a livery to the SH-60B but it's not showing for the Brazilian side.

livery = {
	{"texture SH-60-OKRAS.bmp f2 g0", 0, "SH-60", false};
	{"texture SH-60-OKRAS.bmp f2050 g0", 0, "SH-60", false};
	{"texture F-14-NAVY.tga f2 g0", 0, "MARINHA", false};
	{"texture Wint-2-drive.tga f2 g0", 0, "Wint-2-drive", false};
	{"texture MI8-WINT.tga f2050 g0", 0, "MI8-WINT", false};
	{"texture nomera.tga f2 g0", 0, "numeral", false};
}

name = "Brazilian Navy"
countries = {"USA","Brazil","BRA"} -- I've also tried with "Brazil" and "BRA" isolated

It's only showing to USA. The chopper realy exists.

That only effects what country the livery is locked to..

 

In order for the helicopter to be available for the country it needs to be added in a lua file.. 

 

EDIT file is in

DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\Database

File name

db_countries

So It's better wait for an Eagle Dynamics update, since change the core files may compromise other modifications.

And fail the IC check in MP.

 

You can ask @BIGNEWY to ask ED to add the Chopper to Brazil if you want.

They operate de SH-16, which is the Brazilian designation for the SH-60B. Here is evidence from the official brazilian navy website: 

1° Esquadrão de Helicópteros Antissubmarino atinge marca de 8.000 horas de voo em aeronaves SH-16 Seahawk | Marinha do Brasil

And here, other general evidences:

First two Marinha MH-16s arrived to Brazil (helis.com)

Wait, some sources that indicates that they use a 70. I will confirm that information with the navy.  

[joey45]

I think the 70 is the export version...

 

From Wiki... bag of salt needed

 

S-70B Seahawk: Sikorsky's designation for Seahawk. Designation is often used for exports.

Brazilian Navy really uses the 70B, which is export version of the 60B.

Any way to add the 70B with the same model of the 60's?
