NZ Seasprite at sea

[JensOle]

Hi,

I have been a member of the forum for some time, but never posted. Alphasim new great SH-2 Seasprite package tempted me into trying to post a few screenshots.


A few screenshots flying the SH-2G (NZ) from HMNZS Te Mana (F111) sailing in the Cook Strait. Well actually it is the aerosoft German F222 frigate which I have painted to be F111. The two ships share some of the same design features.





















Greetings from Norway!

Hello Jens and very welcome Pleased you posted these here , I was going ask if you can get some with more of the frigate , i guessing the German F222 is a Type122 Class , .. our MEKO200 s are a little less well armed and quite a bit lighter , Its unique to be able to guess the origins of the design as they show similarity,s from different nations even if they are licience built on the other side of the world .
Superb Screens

Very nice shots there Very Realistic as well.
Looks like a nice addon for FS, might have to keep a watch out on special etc.

Theres always a first post mate, nice to have you here at NZFF
Nice shots as well, love the panel shot and the second to last one.

all i can say is WOW, those shots look like somehting one of our other members does in real life, i reckon if you put these shots side by side with a photograph, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference, what is it like performance wise? does the system take much of a hit? welcome to the forums

Very glad you decided to post, Jens!
I agree with Ian, some more ship/Seasprite combo shots would be a treat... perhaps a little stormy weather?

Hi,

Thanks for the kind words regarding the screenshots! I'll get a few shots of the ship tomorrow.
The VC takes a few second to load due to the hi res textures, but it run with great fps after the initial loading. On my computer it runs more fluent than most other FSX addons. It works great together with Track ir(Superb view from the cockpit with doors open!). It is also possible to change over to the left co-pilot seat and fly it from there.

Sounds very cool, I reckon this might be the 'thing to get', cheers for the pics Jens.

Awesome Shots!!

What are your system specs?

I bought my computer last year and it runs FSX allright, but I beleive I can tweak it even more.

The main system specs are:
-XFX nForce 680i SLI, Socket-775, 2xGbLAN,
-Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0GHz 1333Mhz,
-Corsair TWIN2X 6400PRO DDR2 2048MB CL4,
-XFX GeForce 8800Ultra 612M 768MB GDDR3,
-Western Digital Raptor 150GB SATA 10000RPM (specially for FSX)

Ship screenshots to follow soon

Here are the pics of the aerosoft German F222 ship painted as HMNZS Te Mana (F111) . As far as I can see so does the two ship share some of the same hull design, but the German frigate has more prominent radar antennas and the Bridge is moved back towards the center of the ship. The great thing with the aerosoft ship is that it can be placed anywhere in FS with the Virtual shipyard program. It makes great fun to take the Seasprite to sea!






I have also made a repaint of the first NZ SH-2G, NZ3601, as it looked in 2000 registrated N352KA (experimental) by the Kaman Aircraft Corp. during weapons testing at Yuma Proving Grounds in the US before delivery to New Zealand.

Anyone catch the news last night - it had footage of the first missile to be fired from a NZ military helicopter! Follow the link below to TVNZ on demand. Go to Chapter 5 and enjoy - its right at the start of the weather report!

'WOW great stuff' she said

Jens , the hull would be the same shape , the layout of the superstucture is quite a bit different , so many variations with a modular built warship MEKO 150 - 360 class

Fantastic pictures!
