In addition to the aforementioned, some others for other periods:
Lazarus (and Obio) reworked Greg Peppers original FS2002 HO3S-1 for AI use. Comes with liveries for RCN, RN FAA, and a few other navies. In the absence of any Whirlwinds or Wessexes, these are a suitable stand-in. I find that concentrating on proper throttle and AoA settings on final approach means I don't sweat the details on the plane guard chopper!
For the Vietnam period, there's the Seaking included with the SDB Enterprise. Prior to that, and for more repaints, there's a decent AI Seaking by Nieuwenhoven, Jones, and Lloyd on flightsim. Search "Seaking SH-3". Worked great for years until the SDB model showed up.
A huge hole exists for both RN and USN carriers (and helos) in the Illustrious , Essex class of carriers of the 50s and early 60s. I believe some are underway with teams like Flying Stations and other devs - wait and see, I guess.
Hope that helps,
DL
