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 FOLDERSfrom previous Yasur pack.  Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may cause 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.
Major changes in the cockpit - now it is much more correct. Although probably not everyone cares ore will see a difference. Anyway.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is part that no one will read..but feels like I need to share this:

 

This mod represents Sikorsky S-65 C-3 models used by Israeli Air Force
History of Yasur in Israel air Force is somehow complicated. I was trying to represent all sub-models that served until now. (except yasur2025)
S-65 was an export version based on HH-53C model.

 

All serials are correct but not always represents specific units (although I've put a lot of effort to sort serials - and it's really hard as always in all Israeli serials from 60-80 period)
I've split this pack into few sub-variants.
Long story in short:
Israel received the first batch S-65 C-3 in august 1970.(some sources give date 1969) already with two-digit numbers. Later re-serialed with added prefix 1 to numbers. This batch was called 'Series A'
The second batch of Yasur helicopters was delivered in July 1971. 5 aircrafts with serials started with 2 (although for some time it carried prefix1) it's called 'Series B'.
The third group consisted of 6 aircrafts were delivered between 1972-1973. Aircrafts received prefix 3 and were called 'Series C' also there were few differences in avionics and all 6 aircrafts were equipped with starlight nvg system.
The fourth group was named 'Series D' and prefixed 4. Delivered after 1973 war. Eight helicopters from USMC surplus. The most prominent difference between S-65C-3 is an absence of refueling probe and auxiliary fuel tanks. Also different avionics and different armor plates in various points of the airframe. In the late 80s (probably) four of them were upgraded into late Yasur S-65 version called 'Series G' and serials prefixed 7,(aux fuel tanks and upgraded avionics).
Other four remained unchanged to keep the ability to recover UAV (MARS method).
Next fifth batch of 18(17) aircraft serials prefixed with 5 and 'called Series E' delivered somewhere in 1974-75 It was standard S-65C3 variant but with Titanium blades and again changes in avionics.
Series six were two aircrafts purchased from Austria in May 1991. And prefixed 6. Right after delivery, it received all Yasur 2000 standard upgrades.
Next and last batch of delivery is again USMC surplus CH-53A airframes delivered after Gulf War (April and September) 1991. Around 10 airworthy airframes. (Plus around 8 airframes in 1993 that were used as spare parts - not received serials nor designation) All aircraft were prefixed 8. And remain in service in standard USMC grey/black/green scheme, until some of them (seven) were designated for an upgrade to current Yasur standards.

 

In 1992 IAF started Yasur 2000 program. During this upgrades, each helicopter that underwent conversion serial number was changed. S-65C3 plus two ex-Austrians received prefix 0. All other helicopters that were still in service were upgraded to Yasur 2000 variant and received prefix 9. (those are airframes of old CH-53A without aux fuel tanks and refueling probe) Visible difference is an addition of support braces on fuel tanks pylons.

In game aircrafts will appear with following years of service:

 

Yasur CH-53A Sea Stallion (1973-1992)
Yasur S-65 C3 '69 (1969-1985)
Yasur S-65 C3 '86 (1985-1992)
Yasur 2000 (1993-2050)


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

FakePilot mod needed to run this mod. 
As always.

Standard commands:

ANIMATION 1 - cargo ramp half open
ANIMATION 2 - cabin windows
ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside
ANIMATION 4 - refueling probe

ANIMATION 5 - nvg on some models
Hook - changes position when refueling to see the tip of the spear.

rescue op:
Open "bomb bay" doors - cargo ramp and right side hatch/door
ANIMATION 8 - Open side doors, lower jungle penetrator
ANIMATION 9 - deploy PJ
ANIMATION 10 - lower/raise hoist.
Animation 8, 9 and 10 have a speed limit. So you can't hoist on full speed.

 

With little practice, you can 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.
Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly more and more, wait and it will take off.

 

Cockpits.
new upgraded much more correct cockpits.
Yasur 2000 pit is much more correct now.

Few differences between models mostly in humps/bumps/sensors dispensers.

Weapons.
The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner.

Skins included covers several years of use in Israeli 3 color, first brown and late 80s light brown and unique USMC 3 clolor scheme.

Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots.

Have fun.
Edit your way.
And report bugs.

 

Jarek Hereda.

 

Thanks to everyone who helped me with this.
And thanks for all support.

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. Now it is more correct for Yasur.

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.

kind regards.
