Guys, I am the one that designed it. It was one of my very first models, and I didn't have a whole lot of information on it. I still have the source file somewhere on one of my hard drives. If I could get more information about it, I would be willing to redo it. The reason it does not have a readme with it, may be do to the fact that I never uploaded it here Shocked

. The only place I ever uploaded it was to Hovercontrol.

I see you already got you answer months ago. I just had to say hello to one of the few current S-62 pilots left. Wink

I was a Fligth Mech/Hoist Operator on the HH-52A back in the late '70s. I recently decided to learn how to create Flight Sim aircraft and I naturaly selected the Seaguard as my first project. I didn't know one had already been done. Cry

Well I'm to far into this to stop now. Besides, it's just a learning project anyway.

So, I wasn't able to help you out but you could help me out Wink

I'm starting to work the the flight dynamics files. I have the Coast Guard flight manuals with all the specs and then some that Flight Sim can handle except two.

1. Empty Weight - no fuel, no crew, basic equipment, etc... (each S/N aircraft was slightly different and each airstation equiped their aircraft differently so this was left out of the Flight Man)

2. The weight of each man rotor blade - this might be a bit harder to locate if at all

Anyway, it might be ready for FS11 or FS12 but I could probably do a paint scheme of VH-ORP. ...that's contingient on my abilities and time to even finish this project at all Sad
