Anyway, it's really nice to hear that so many of you are happy with this mod. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next I've decided to model the Westland Sea King Mk41, as I come from Germany, then the Sea King HC.4 will follow.

Its not really necessarily to have more, its to have all the things like weathering, rivets/lines, mechanical parts, stencils and base layers separated.

Tomcatter87 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I really like the mod Is there a way to improve the main rotor textures, for example with a blurred version that looks better when the helo is flying?

Pappy2 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Hi guys, I come to salute the extraordinary work of the "Tomcat-Flyer" of this beautiful helicopter. The period of the 60s and 70s is now much richer. THANKS THANKS THANKS I just noticed the same little problem with the folded versions: When changing viewing angles, the SeaKings disappear! below are the screenshots.

Otherwise I don't have these errors....

boombazookajd Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I'll echo Megalax's request for what we could call a "proper" paintkit. This one is largely useless. In addition, being saved in .pdn files is mind boggling. Why weren't the files in the paint kit saved as either a .psd or .xcf? I'd love to do something with this but the way you have it structured right now, it's less than stellar. In addition, the unwrap and template layout is nothing short of a jigsaw puzzle. I'd recommend redoing it into a more legible layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also be better to give full transparency to these layers assigned by the args and adjust the textures via an apha channel. I've adjusted them now a little bit: null 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat-Flyer Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) I've just updated the Mod to V1.4:null - Better Main Rotor blurring - Added protable Fuel tank - Added fuel tank skins for both SH-3G skins - Added Window wippers - Changed static folded units to flying aircraft to remove bug => Now you can insert the folded models from the Static Models - Helicopters page as well, this should solve the rotation-bug.

I've painted the used spots in orange: null More detailed: Anyway I recommend you (and anyone else) to wait a little while, untill I'm finished with the new paintkit. The new paintkit is not supposed to have other UV's, but it will have better weathering. I hope I could help you! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealius Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Awesome mod for the Forrestal! Small error on the HS-14 (Ranger) skin: Tail code should be NE, not NL. Neither HS-14 nor the Ranger were ever assigned to CVW-15 (NL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighMaintenanceB Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Hey guys, brilliant work. I know this might be something of a big ask, all things considered, but the Iranian Navy is an operator of the SH-3 Sea King, as seen here. Source: https://news.yahoo.com/state-media-iran-fires-cruise-083625692.html If there is someone who is willing to create this livery, or at least give me some pointers on how I can use the templates without drawing over the rivets and other markings, that'd be much appreciated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
