AICarriers helicopters..?

Seahawk72s

Seahawk72s

SOH-CM-2023
In looking around I've only see the SH60 guard model that has a moving rotor for placement with
AICarriers. I've tried other heli models but without moving rotors they just look weird.

Any pointers to other helicopters would be much appreciated.

A small bump to keep active..
 
Sylvain Parouty's Clemenceau and Foch include an Alouette specifically made for use as a plane guard helicopter. And the Sea King in the payware Enterprise package by Team SDB (work was done by Sylvain) is also designed to be a plane guard with moving carriers. Both have the moving rotors and can be placed using AI Carriers. Team SDB is also working on a Helix as a plane guard for the Admiral Kuznetsov with moving rotors. Sylvain's upcoming Charles de Gaulle will no doubt have a more modern "Pedro" in the form of a Panther or a Dauphin. The freeware Charles de Gaulle by SkyDesigners includes a Panther "Pedro".

Excellent information, thankyou.!
 
In addition to the aforementioned, some others for other periods:

Lazarus (and Obio) reworked Greg Peppers original FS2002 HO3S-1 for AI use. Comes with liveries for RCN, RN FAA, and a few other navies. In the absence of any Whirlwinds or Wessexes, these are a suitable stand-in. I find that concentrating on proper throttle and AoA settings on final approach means I don't sweat the details on the plane guard chopper! :icon_lol:

For the Vietnam period, there's the Seaking included with the SDB Enterprise. Prior to that, and for more repaints, there's a decent AI Seaking by Nieuwenhoven, Jones, and Lloyd on flightsim. Search "Seaking SH-3". Worked great for years until the SDB model showed up.

A huge hole exists for both RN and USN carriers (and helos) in the Illustrious , Essex class of carriers of the 50s and early 60s. I believe some are underway with teams like Flying Stations and other devs - wait and see, I guess.

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the information.
I had hopes there were more modern day birds out there but its good to know the reality.

Thanks again for your time...
 
On the RFN site there is a link to 'around 'Ill 'd Yue' a really slick scenery with the Mistral class LPD and Horizon class frigate. There is also a AI NH-90 in the pack. There are some Panthers set as scenery BGL's I think. I was always meaning to have a look to see if they would convert to AI, bt never got 'round to it.

Thanks for the tip.! I downloaded the ship package and the AI NH-90 looks very good in AICarriers spinning rotors and all..:jump:
