------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mod represents Sikorsky model of RH-53D. 12 aircrafts were ordered by Imperial Iranian Navy. Only six delivered before revolution. Add then all six remained in newly formed Islamic Republic of Iran Navy Aviation. 

CHANGES:

I highly recommend to overwrite previous files decals/weapons/guns- or best is delete the old one and put new files.
YOU NEED TO DELETE OLD AIRCRAFT FOLDERS CH-53A and CH-53D_70. Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may caouse some problems...So delete old ones put new ones.
The rest (except Aircraft folders) are same can be overwritten without fear...
Small changes in ini files, corrections on fuel loadout, changes in cockpit ini. 
Small changes in skins. Also No longer fake weapon "no gun" is needed - thanks to The Trooper. He pointed small fix in data.ini.
Added simple bump and specular maps. Also added damage tgas.
Some changes and rearrangements in the cockpit

******************IMPORTANT******************

FaAkePilot mod neede to run this mod. 
As always.

This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of the weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course, you can edit and use any other weapons available. 

Standard commands:

LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. 

ANIMATION 1 - right side door.
ANIMATION 2 - left hatch cabin windows
ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside
ANIMATION 10 - Winch

Parking animations.
Two parking animations included one for 'on land base' and other for 'on board' parking.

You can fold tail and rotor by enabling animation in data.ini  file. But it looks silly. And my intention for this animation was eye candy on board vessel.

With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
With heavy cargo load probably you need little run on A model as engines on A are little underpowered.
Normaly throtle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly more and more, wait and it will take off. 

 
Cockpits.
Newly upgraded cockpit based on NATOPS manual. Mirrors working now and showing correct image.

Fuel usage is not super perfect but compared to all previous H-53 models released here fuel gauges are working.

Skins.
All serial numbers are based on available photos, are historically correct. 

Weapons.
This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course you can edit and use any other weapons available. Here is experimental Mk105 minesweeper sled different than in previous CH-53D pack. This one is only for RH-53D. To see Mk105 open cargo bay.

Cargo loads.

I am releasing this cargo load in the current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted.
Cargo loads includes few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper.

IMPORTANT - 
Due to construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on the airfield - especially with underslung cargo load. 

Skins.
1977 Imperial Iranian Navy
Islamic Republic of Iran Navy Aviation with 3 skins 1979 paint inherited from IINavy, Grey paint introduced somewhere in 90's and late current azure blue salamander camo.

Good to add nations ini entry regarding new "nation" created - Islamic Republic of Iran Navy /Imperial Iranian Navy.
otherwise, you will have to change nation name to Iran.

Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots.  

Have fun.
Edit and report bugs.

Jarek Hereda.

I've just uploaded a new 3rd version of a file. (In fact it is 2nd version..but 2nd ver. was never released) 

Now BM and SM maps added. Small changes here and there. 

Reworked cockpit. 

Read info on the download page. 

If you have already an old version all aircraft folders must be deleted.  After testing with overwrite some errors occurred.  Decals/ weapons  etc..are all fine. Aircraft must be replaced.

I've done a similar job to other Stallions / Jolly Giants so I will upload them soon also. 

kind regards.
