Needing a repaint "redone" for the Virtavia Sea King!

Needing a repaint "redone" for the Virtavia Sea King!

Years ago (I feel like saying, "long ago and far away!")....there was a repaint done for the Alphasim Sea King, which depicted the helo as the one used in the movie, "The Final Countdown".

I downloaded the repaint file, converted the files from BMP to DDS, but I was not successful. I guess the repaints for the Alphasim Sea King do not work for the Virtavia version.

Anyway, just wondered if anyone would be interested in doing that repaint? Thanks. NC

Here are a couple screenshots from the movie. Grainy looking, but you get the idea.

Hi Navy Chief,

The old Alpha paints should line up perfectly with the Virtavia model, I did a number of paints for FS9 and then converted them to DDS's for FSX and P3D no problem.

If you have no luck I'll do the Final Countdown Helo for you, I need to do another Royal Navy Paint someone has requested and ironically I only watched The Final Countdown again the other day.

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers,

Sketchy
