This is a hi-res Marine livery for the HH-43 Huskie converted to native FSX by "Lazarus". All files are "dds" format and include both interior (VC) and exterior updates. Enjoy!
This is the Douglas DC-4 originally done by Jens B. Kristensen.
Whom has given me the permission to modify his wonderful aircraft and update these particular versions for use in P3Dv4+. The models have been updated with new sounds, external models to represent 3 different versions of the DC-4/C-54, PBR added, and updated 4k textures across the board. Operators Aero-Flite, Aero Union, Ardco, Buffalo Airways, and TBM are represented in the pack across 10 repaints. The DC-4/C-54 was one of the most prolifically used airtankers in the industry in the United States, they served from the 1970s until 2007 despite many years of life still left in them. Some never moved from their offseason homes and were scrapped, while smaller numbers were sold off and turned into rural cargo/fuel haulers, and transports. An even smaller number continued flying as airtankers. Buffalo Airways as of 2023 still has DC-4 tankers. Of the unique models that are represented here, one special version is known as the DC-4 'Super.' The Super was a specially modified DC-4 only two were ever made and only one lived on. It became owned by Ardco. This DC-4 was modified with R2600 engines instead of the R2000s equipped on the standard variant. The limited amount of time and engineering to this upgrade left it functioning, but not to it's full potential. The propeller was retained from the R2000 which resulted in the engine RPMs being limited. Despite the R2600s, the Super was not faster than a standard DC-4, however, the big notable difference was in climb performance. And in many hot and high density altitude operations in the hot western United States, the DC-4 Super had an advantage over the standard DC-4 in terms of useable power. With a decent carriable load of 18,000 LBS or around 2,000 US gallons of retardant.
The DC-4/C-54s could operate even off the shortest air attack bases, largely leading to why it was so prolifically used in aerial firefighting.
Only compatible with P3Dv4, 5, & 6
Original Aircraft by Jens B. Kristensen, modifications by Nicholas Mitchell "Scorch00"
This is a very small airstrip, private ownership, on an Island of less than 50 people approximately 75nm off the east coast of Maine. Locals say that landing here "is not for the faint of heart". Storms are frequent in the area and during the fall and winter months fog is frequent, making landings even more treacherous. Enjoy!!
North American Aviation RA-5C Vigilante RVAH-1 Alphasim (Virtavia) Revised & Updated for FSX Repaint.zip
This is my (Mako8841) UPDATED 1-8-2018 repaint of the Alphasim RA-5C Vigilante. Modified by Bob Chicilo, October 5, 2007. Updated in Oct. 2016 by LLS. This is a superb model with realistic VC. All new automatic throttle afterburners, sounds, and more. FSX native conversion, full original Alpha Vigilante.
I was attached to RVAH-1 (Smokin' Tigers) in the early 1970's. This repaint is the exact copy of one of my squadron aircraft, 604. I took care to make every possible markings correct from pictures I have of the aircraft. I painted the tail of this aircraft for real as you see it in 1972, NAS Albany, GA. I have cleaned it up since my squadron had very clean aircraft. Removed some lines you can't see in real life, and added new lines. Did some cockpit work. Changed chute lever to Emergency Canopy, added second Emerg. Canopy lever as it was for real, new fuel dump lever, call numbers to 604, and red seats interior to brown, added hinges to nose gear, changed stick, changed rudder pedals to NAA, and a few screws, new access panels, new photo pod layout as it is for real, new stainless steel exhaust shields, new tail cone, new landing gear wheel rims, changed pilots helmet color and added Smokin' Tigers logo as it was for real, and revised my tail, (vertical stabilizer). Corrected some of my mistakes. The cockpit is close to the real thing. More to come, I think. Please check back...
I worked on these aircraft in the Navy for two years. The pilot that flew 604 was my squadron Commander Jim Catron and the RAN (radar/navigator) officer was LTJG Gary Spangler . On our Westpack Cruise aboard the USS Saratoga 07-Jun-72 in Viet Nam, Lt. Cdr. C. H. Smith and LT. Kurtz were hit by a SAM. They were flying 601,156616, both ejected safely. Both were rescued and picked up by helos from HC-7 in Haiphong, Viet Nam.
RVAH-1 was a Reconnaissance Attack (Heavy) Squadron of the U.S. Navy. Originally established as Heavy Attack Squadron One (VAH-1) on 1 November 1955, it was redesignated as Reconnaissance Attack (Heavy) Squadron One (RVAH-1) on 1 September 1964. RVAH-1 was disestablished in January 19, 1979. The USS Saratoga was scrapped in 2016.

I'm proud to be a member of this great U.S. Navy Squadron.
An update to remove the blurries from the VC cockpit of the recent FSX Native conversion done by Lazarus. All files are "dds" format save the panel bitmap which must remain a bmp file. Straight forward installation.
