Kind Regards

Woohoo!

Hooky - you're a star, mate! Looking forward to the final install tonight.

Gaffer - you're on fire! Those Wessex's are superb. Will there be any RN FAA schemes? The beauty of a proper AI Wessex is not only the Westland models, but in the absence of a proper AI S-58/H-34 it would do nicely in a pinch.

Regardless, I'm stoked for it's RN/RAF applications. And the Sea Vixen - stellar!!

Many kind thanks!!!

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
