SEAHAWK 7: JAYHAWK
HELICOPTER SIMULATOR
BRAND NEW FACTORY
SEALED!!!
All the new features of FSX are being used. We also combined both
the Seahawks (Boxer and the Coast Guard version) and added 4 more
highly detailed ships. To make it easy for you we also created a
tool that allows you to use Google Earth to place the ships in any
location you like.
The helicopter is easy to fly (as the real one is), you will be
in the air in minutes, but it will take many hours before you have
mastered all the systems that are simulated in this helicopter.
Created with assistance from several Seahawk pilots we are sure the
advanced systems work as they are in the real helicopter.
When Microsoft publicly releases the SDK that is used for the
Acceleration Pack we will adapt this helicopter to use the
additional features it offers for helicopters. This will be a free
update.
Full FSX standard
All the aircraft files have been reworked to be fully FSX standard
this not a simple port from FS2004! Includes all the latest FSX
goodies.
- Bump maps (this adds a 3d effect to a simple 2d texture, for
example to show edges on hatches and rivets),
- Spectacular lighting maps (making reflections more
realistic),
- Self-shading (aircrafts parts cast shades on other aircraft
parts),
- All textures in DDS format (faster decompressing if your
graphics card supports it),
- Fall back textures (all models share some textures, saving
you disk space and loading time when you switch models),
- Prepared for DX10 graphics cards.
All models and variations
There are seven different models available, not only the different
Seahawk models used by the US Navy, but also the export models
(Japan, Greece and Spain) are included. The Coast Guard model (Jayhawk)
is also included. Fifteen liveries and a paint kit are available.
Very accurate flight model
The flight model is highly accurate and has been flown by many
actual Seahawk pilots over the last 2 years. Some tweaks include the
new FSX functions, but we decided to maintain the highly stable
model that was used in the FS2004 version. Please note that
maintaining the correct 'feel' was more important than numbers and
data.
Complete animations
- Complex fold of rotors and tail (using the actual procedure)
- Horizontal tail moves depending on speed
- Four crewmembers that animated
Stability Augmentation System
The advanced Stability Augmentation System (SAS) is very accurate.
Not only will it stabilize your flight, it also includes a highly
realistic Hover and Hover Depart mode. Unlike other FS helicopters
that 'force' the location using FSUIPC or SimConnect, this system
uses sensors to find the location of the helicopter and will use the
standard controls to maintain a hover or move the helicopter in any
direction.
Automated Flight Control System
The AFCS is able to read standard flight plans and have the Seahawk
fly them fully automated. Your route is shown on the Navigation
Display. Distance and time to fly for each waypoint is also
available.
Extended manual
The 68 page extended manual explains all systems and is well
illustrated. Even novice helicopter pilots (or novice flight
simmers) should be able to use this advanced helicopter after they
completed the training flights.
Three complete documented training flights
- Systems and Automated Flight Control Systems; learn to setup
all systems and start the helicopter. After take-off you will
head to a training area to experiment with the navigation
system. You will also learn how to fly the helicopter fully
automated in terrain following mode.
- Advanced navigation; learn how to have the helicopter fly a
route automatically and do a low visibility ILS landing.
- Zero visibility manual hover; learn to hover the helicopter
in a fixed location without ANY visibility (no other helicopter
in FS can do this)
Six ships included
There are 6 ships included that can be placed in any location using
the Shipyard 2 tool.
- Coast Guard Marine Security Cutter, Large. Very modern
off-shore interdiction cutter
- CG-50 (Valley Forge). Old style destroyer used to protect
carrier groups.
- LCS-1 (USS Freedom). Low visibility stealth ship of the
latest design.
- X-Craft (Sea Fighter). Experimental Special Operation and
Patrol Operation ship.
- LHD-4 (Boxer). Large amphibious carrier designed to land and
support 2000 marines.
- F-222 (Augsburg). Modern German air defense ship.
Shipyard2
This tool allows you to select a location for the ships in Google
Earth and convert the resulting files into real FSX scenery. Very
easy, very advanced and a lot of fun to use. Needs a Deluxe version
of FSX!
