Hi Tigisfat

To be honest I cant remember - I bought it - installed and it was OK for a while but nothing fantastic in terms of texturing and FD but I often return to Nemeth helis - even the awkward CH-53 now the patch makes it a bit more user friendly.

Forgive -but I cant be bothered to even take the Jayhawk out of the hangar - perhaps that sums it up for me. :ernae: Happy sunday!

I have it for both FS9 and FSX. I love:guinness: the Jayhawk and have no trouble with it in FSX and its fluid. VC panel LCD's need sharpening but thats peanuts considering its the only decent Jayhawk in Payware. As to the Seahawk its lost in my Hanger somewere:sleep: at Travers City CGAS.

...I bought it, and although Coast Guard variant looked nice, I wasn't overwhelmed with the package.

What I think is a fair review here: http://www.avsim.com/pages/1207/SH60/SH60.htm.

No, Its not one of Aerosofts better ones. Flys nice though, but it looks a bit fuzzy.

The VC is my fuzzy problem, otherwise no troubles with outside textures for me. As to the AS blackhawk its a good model but they werent fair to the navy or coast guard. I only bought it for the Army varients, which reminds me i need to find a pack mule.

The Jayhawk & Seahawk package has in my opinion the best modelling of this airframe and FD available, and certainly more systems. I personally like the package, and always have. I'm sure plenty will disagree with me however, but I do rate it as one of the more thought out packages for helos in FS, right up there with Nemeth and Dodo's stuff. Never been a fan of the Alphasim helos, but that is just me perhaps.

It was OK, but not my favourite heli- sort of tough on performance, but a solid bit of metal. I reviewed it awhile ago, if you're interested...

I like it & still fly it on occasion. It is showing its age though & doesnt stack up to more recent releases.

Overall a very pleasant package though.
