Today AlphaSim anounced the release of their latest product, The Kaman SH-2 Seasprite helicopter. Both versions of Kaman’s utility helicopter (the F and G) feature in this extensive package for FSX (with optional FS2004 version). The 6 phenonomal texture sets show amazing attention to detail and are enhanced further by FSX’s bump mapping and self-shadowing features. Both the New Zealand and Australian models carry a superbly-detailed M60 machine gun AGM-65 Mavericks and a FLIR turret.
The virtual cockpit is a tour de force – it exceeds even the amazing H-60 and Ka-50 cockpits in terms of realism and usability. Cockpit self-shadowing is also available to FSX DX10 users. The soundset was supplied by TSS and is the best helicopter sounds package we’ve heard, including start-up and shut-down sounds. The flight model was carefully tuned and provides a realistically agile flight envelope for this sprightly machine. A 60-page, colour illustrated user manual in .PDF format covers all aspects of the package.
For FSX (SP1, SP2/Accel) and FS2004 only.
Filesize – FSX : 93MB, FS9 : 80MB.
Price : approx. $46.25 USD, £25, 31.25 EUR, 53.25 AUD, 103.50 PLN.
