I am aware of that model.. infact I have it however, it is so outdated, I think a native version is in order, dont you?

In late 1988 I rode in an S-3, actually the cargo version (US-3-something) from Diego Garcia to the USS Midway. Sitting up front behind the two airplane drivers, it was the most amazing and exciting airplane ride in my entire life. We were one of two US-3s delivering mail and people (like me) to CV-41. We entered the break in very close formatuion as "dash-2". The lead S-3's wing tip seemed like it was inches from the window as we flew over the ship up-wind. The break was astonishing. The "high-G" (for me) seemed to last friggen forever. The approach to the round-down seemed to take even longer. Then we had to bolter because of a fouled deck and go around. The actual touch down onto the deck was very smooth, but the decelleration was incredible as we caught the wire. Damn that thas fun. We neeeeeeeeed an S-3 for FSX! 
You lucky dog
