CH-124 Sea King Historical Thread

I'm gonna hafta drop in sometime and see if I can land a Harvard on the Bonnie...

LOL

The Huey is more fun! I do need a proper cyclic and collective at home though (working on it).

Anybody know the event and date:

I'm working on a side project... we're going to use the "off the shelf" flight sim we have at the museum and set up an "historical tour" flight. So as you fly in the harbour there will be different "task groups" portrayed from different time periods:

• early Bonnie
• late Bonnie
• around 1990
• Op Friction
• Op Apollo
• current and future fleet alongside

The aircraft (we'll use a Harvard in RCN livery) will fly the tour itself, but if somebody "takes control" of it you'll be able to buzz the ships (aka "brownie runs").

So I've been working on models. I have a Bonnie, DDE and DDH St Laurents, Protecteur and Preserver, early, Friction, and Trump 280s, 330s before and after HCM., Victoria, and an RCD but I'm not sure how close it is to the current design I'll use a DDE St Laurent and change the bridge, mast, and guns for Terra Nova, and then do ASROC and Friction versions. I need to find Kingstons, HDW, Asterix, and the new AORs.

What software are you using to create the ships?

What software are you using to create the ships?

I got the ones I've used so far from various sources so I didn't have to create them, just modify and import:

• ModelConverterX to convery between formats
• Paint to modify textures
• Notepad for .txt and .xml files
• MSFS SDK to import into MSFS

For the three versions of Terra Nova I need to work on, the original St Laurents were done in SketchUp so I'll probably use that.

When I have to do full drawing, Blender.

I also have MSFS Livery Tools and X-Plane WorldEditor.
