I would like to get in contact with whoever designed the Sikorsky S62/HH52 helicopter for FS2004. I fly one of the last two S62 left flying in the world and would like to have one painted in the same colours as ours. The aircraft is available for download on page 22 of the 2004 helicopters.

Or if someone out there knows how to change the exterior markings on the helicopter that would be great too.

I know nothing about designing aircraft for flightsim.

If no one has a claim to designing it, is there someone out there willing to put our markings on the helicopter? I would try myself but i wouldnt know where or how to start. I had a look in the repaint kits area but found nothing that helped.

As you can see it isnt too far from the one available. Just a few white stripes are different and the rego.

That Looks Great, Thanks.

A quick question, Is there a way i can record a segment of flight and saving it to be played as a video file? I notice you got single screen shots of flight.

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

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

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

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
