Hawker Sea Hawk P3D FSX 10_16

[JensOle]

Huub,

I don't think any of these models would represent Karel Doorman as it looked during the Sea Hawk period as it had the angled deck and the standard green/grey British deck colour. I believe KD had a deck paint very similar to what you see in my Vikrant screenshots.

I believe the Majestic class by Lazarus and some texture work by myself probably is the closest you get to KD. I can see if I can make a dedicated deck texture with the D on the rear for you guys.

Thanks Jens-Ole,

As I already said I have absolutely no experience with carriers.

Cheers,
Huub

A little less dirty.....I chose to make the rivets a lot darker and the panel lines more outspoken....

Thanks Robert for a great aircraft (here the FSX version):





On my computer, maybe because I didn't set properly "TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD", the paint is a little blurry... After removing the mip-maps in "Seahawk 1.dds" with DtxBmp, all is good, crisp and sharp...

Love the start up smoke! Love the flames! What a beautiful model! Looking in the wheelwells you can see the engine! This one screams for repaints, with that to-good-to-be-true paintkit!

Thanks Rob!

I forgot to animate the flap lever, just posted updated model.
Texture_Max_Load=4096
Thank you Cees for the kind remarks.
Love the Admirals barge Peter.

I might have noticed one other minor bug, not a biggie. Initially the wings don't seem to want to fold using the key commands. Strangely though if I manually flip the switch in cockpit to fold them then use the key command to unfold them the commands will start operating normally.

Flew her out last night, sounds and effects are great.

Thank you Rob for yet another super aircraft.

Cheers Chris

Having fun repainting this one!


The proportions are not right yet, but.....

Rob, would it be possible with a folded wing static sea hawk model to be used with the majestic class carrier? Should work for both dutch and indian carrier wings.

A Fleet Requirements Unit Sea Hawk FB5 based at Hurn Airport in the late '60s.

A quickie for you.. check the black 'climb lines' on the fuse of your paint mate. Museum repaints (and the flying Ace of Diamonds) have the aft black line to the canopy edge. 'In service' paints for both Royal and Dutch Navy's with this scheme tend to show the aft black line stopping at the upper fuse grey. One thing I've noticed.. don't base a paint on plastic kits as these have black lines both sides!!

Great paints Dave! I totally agree, both museum aircraft and decals/drawings from model sets/books are terrible reference sources. The only source which always works are in service pictures and film.

Wasn't there a Karel Doorman carrier for fs9,I wonder if it could be made to work with AI carriers? I remember it had an automated crew assisted cat launch.BTW wonderful aircraft you made Rob,thankyou.

There was a static model released with the Flying stations Sea Hawk that would probably fit the bill

It must be 50 years since I built it, but wasn't that the Airfix one?

[ZsoltB]

Thank you!

Just had a google and it is indeed. What a memory

Is it possible to remove the 330 knot overspeed warning for this great model? I have tried changing the aircraft.cfg (max_indicated_speed and max_mach) but this had no effect. Cheers.

To hide all the pesky red info messages (slew, parking brake, pause etc.) just add the line HideInfoText=1 to the [Main] section of the fsx.cfg. To hide just the overspeed warning you can change InfoOverspeedEnable=True to InfoOverspeedEnable=False in the [Display] section. Personally I have them all turned off.

Here's another I've been toying with.. F.2 WF254:121 of 807NAS FAA circa 1954..

The main map is DXT5 but I've included a map with mips for P3D users. Simply rename Seahawk 1.dds to something memorable (or bin it!) then rename Seahawk 1WF254M.dds to Seahawk 1.dds if you're a P3D mip person
