Retro RNAS Fans Ahoy! FS9 Stations work good in FSX

Last question ...

Since you're building the models, is there a chance for a "boat" version? If you've been following the AI helo/carrier thread from a few weeks back, you'll see a whole big discussion on retrofitting older carriers such as the Ark Royal IV with a plane guard helicopters.

The only issue (and it's really a small niggle) is that an AI "rotocraft" model's rotor freezes in place when used as a "boat". I don't know if you're too far along to consider a "boat" version of the Wessex, with the rotor rotation built in (like the SH-60 and Allouette III in the Javier Nimitz and RFN Clem, respectively).

Again - no biggie - just a small detail - and if we have to simply use the "rotocraft" model as a "boat" - it'll still be miles ahead of where we are today.

Again, many thanks!

I am not up to speed on this thread, and have no idea about using rotorcraft as boats. With that, i would not know what is needed to make the rotors turn, other than making them turn constantly. After that, I have no idea how to get the model into the sim as a boat

It'll be fine just as it is - you can ignore the question. No worries.

Getting it into the sim as a "flying" AI helo on plane guard duty easy - there's pre-determined scripts using AICarriers for this, where the helo is programmed to "sail" in formation with a ship or other ships, at predetermined fore/aft, stbd/port, and height positions relative to the carrier or ship in question - giving an excellent, moving representation of a helicopter flying alongside a ship, with full movement. Pretty cool, actually. That's the easy part.


Thanks again, Gaffer - the immersion possible on both the RNAS bases and ships on account of this package will be significant - huge thanks.

My thanks Also Gaffer I could not have asked for anything half as good as what I'm seeing here I'm so grateful to you for the work you are doing thank you

Kindest Regards

To all,

The fix by Hooky for RNAS Yeovilton has been included with the original upload now, so I deleted the patch upload from the new library.

Here is the link for the file package: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...id=109&id=4276
