The Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King (company designation S-61) is a twin-engine anti-submarine warfare (ASW) helicopter. It served with the United States Navy and other forces, and continues to serve in many countries around the world. The Sea King has been built under license in Italy and Japan, and in the United Kingdom as the Westland Sea King. ![]() TEN distinct models and TWENTY highly detailed texture sets provide wide coverage of many of this famous helicopter’s variants and users. Dear All, I was glad to see that Alpha ahem. I mean Virtavia have ported their FS9 Sea King over the FSX, its a nice model and I thought I would re-d. Nigel martindecember 2011 virtavia fsx sea king review. Overview I make no excuses, I love the helicopter, I guess due to the seemingly fragility of some of them, and wonderment that they stay in the air at all. I have spent many an hour in the noisy, hot surroundings of an RAF Rescue Westland Sea King, and various RN Sea Kings, so, when this offering has become available, it was a must have. The usual simple process of visiting the Pilot Shop, making the purchase, and saying yes to the download was easily accomplished. It was a massive file, some 130 MB, and it took 10 minutes to download at approximately 200 Kb/sec. Quick word here, you will find a PDF manual in your documents file, post download, not on your desktop, so seek it out. It is a very comprehensive and an informative 21 pages long. All of the promotional shots look superb, and very much the beast I remember, albeit somewhat cleaner than the offering I flew in a fair amount, which had a lot more exhaust staining on the fuselage sides. Once downloaded, I found the file, upended it up (via WinZip) and sent it the correct path, as instructed, i.e. I must say at this juncture I have a new computer with a clean install of FSX, onto a SSD Digital Drive, so no 'gremlins'. Selected FSX, a few seconds later, (yup folks a few seconds! Oh how I love my new set-up!) FSX was on the monitor, so without further ado, selected RNAS Yeovilton (the tidiest air station in history! Even the blades of grass ask for permission to grow!) in my aircraft menu I noted there was only one RN Sea King on offer. Please remember to select all options, I did not! After selecting all options in the aircraft menu, I realised I had half the world's aircraft in the list! But there were the Sea Kings I was originally expecting. I selected the RN Rescue version, already based at RNAS Yeovilton, hit the select button, and there she was, engine hot and ready for the skies.
