Does anyone know if 1.1 now allows any controlled sling load UNHOOK? (Can't download and check myself at the moment...)

That is great news! Thanks for your work and digging. One question - does this mean you CANNOT see the sling line but you CAN see the cargo attached?

Yes it does.

Had a chance to test it yesterday - wow, what a great mod! Beautiful model, fantastic cockpit, superb flight behaviour! Thank you very very much for providing this for the comunnity! I am excited to follow further progress on this. One question though - do you plan to reduce polygons in order to save some fps in future?

This is so cool. It seems you are bringing NFS (Need for speed) into DCS? VERY good idea

absolutely stunning!!!

sounds like a collision model issue...maybe too complex?

The liveries are in the download package. content of folder "liveries" to be copied into your saved_games folder/liveries. see readme.

new update is available: version 0.3 (updated download link on first page) - small texture corrections - fixed - crew models and crew-livery textures - added - instrument dash texture added - right rear door animation - added - open the right rear door with livery description.lua custom_args entry - added As an example, 706 livery has open door configured inside the description.lua file, custom_args entry. Can be changed easily in any MH-60 livery by uncommenting the last line in the description.lua with i.e. notepad or similar text editor.

correct, currently there are no pilots in the model.

Thank you - my mistake. Please delete your last download of the pack, I have uploaded a corrected package. Hope it works now.

Version 0.2 is available (updated download link on first page): - new static shape and textures for HH-60 with folded blades and tail, restrain rods - added - new textures: USCG rotors, small corrections on fuselage, wheel and gear - added - small model and mapping errors (front antennas, foot steps, left back doors) - fixed The static folded version can be loded in Mission Editor under "Structures-Standard Structures - HH-60 folded". If anybody knows how I can change this to the "Structures - Helicopters" subcategory in ME, including the proper icon, please let me know. The AI version of the (unfolded) helicopter remains to be loaded from the normal helicopter list in ME.

Wow, impressive mod from what I read. Did not download yet. One question - did you manage to do sling loads whithout too much swinging?

Fantastic! Can't wait!

Seriously? ... hey, anything creative is good! I did not find any "ugly" here....I do not know what the "strikehawk pod" is, though. Might fit, might, not - the proportions are probably not exactly the same, but I do not know. Worth a try anyway. Main issue will be the connectors - they are certainly not at the same positions so far for both helicopter models. The HH-60 model only has the CG1 and CG2 at the +- center of gravity at the moment, for the 2 asset sets, plus those for the lights. But none as for the weapon load outs on the UH-60.

(initially posted in wrong thread, so moved here) @prccowboy- it is incredible what you have made from your initial idea - really really great! And a lot of work already with the quality of assets and liveries, my respect and many thanks! It is great now to follow different paths with this helicopter class, and it inspires me to follow the MH-60T variant in more detail and ultimatively make it flyable (which is what I am most interested in). And seeing the new blackhawk screenshots, even another one is on the way. Exciting times!

no, not yet. maybe in a later version.

Hi all, thanks very much for the issue report + Eight Ball already presenting a solution... Great if that trick works for now, but I changed the model and texture file and uploaded the fixed package, so upcoming downloads are clean. (The model will have a new material for the "parts" assigned, and that material will refer to a new texture filename (as suggested MH-60_Parts.png, so no change in the liveries is necessary after downloading version 0.11 Download link on first page is updated.

can you show an image? checked the package and all is fine here...

Hahahaha......that is so cool! Best reaction I had so far for any upload here I am looking forward to see the "her" in action - screenshots always welcome! And comments, critcs, ideas....

Finally, I released the HH-60 / MH-60 Seahawk I am working on for some time now - at this stage as AI only. See here:

This little package contains (yet another) HH-60 Seahawk type helicopter mod together with some liveries and payload assets. For now, this is only AI and has only some basic animations, PBR textures and no damage model or weapons. No proper LOD so far, so it may hit your FPS. It made this for myself to gain/improve some skills in 3D modelling, texturing and lua scripting, and because I was desperately waiting to get a Seahawk and some marine SAR and naval helicopter OPs into DCS. It is everything but complete, but a start I like to share. Tested with DCS Open Beta 2.9.2.49940 UPDATES: March 5th 2025: - fixed crash / hang when static folded is used - fixed terminate error when payloads are used please download and replace the following: 1. replace db_hh-60_folded.lua in mod folder "Database": db_hh-60_folded.lua > /Database 2. add HH-60.lua in mod folder "UnitPayloads" HH-60.lua>/UnitPayloads January 13th 2024: - reverse main rotor direction - fixed - pilot not visible - fixed - broken wheels texture - fixed - vertical position on ground - fixed update_13012024.zip please replace previous version shape file in the Mod's /Shapes folder with above shape (unzip). PSD Livery Template: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1pceu42erbjh1d9/HH-60_Livery_Template.zip?dl=0 version: 0.3 - small texture corrections - fixed - crew and crew-livery textures - added - instrument dash texture added - right rear door animation - added - open the right rear door with livery description.lua custom_args entry - added version 0.2 - new static shape and textures for HH-60 with folded blades and tail, restrain rods - added - new textures: USCG rotors, small corrections on fuselage, wheel and gear - added - small model and mapping errors (front antennas, foot steps, left back doors) - fixed version 0.11 - wheel and gear texture conflict - fixed. - PBR Texture for Main Rotor Hub was missing - added. DOWNLOAD: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zkmw46spdux69vc/HH-60 Seahawk Mod v03.zip?dl=0 INSTALL: Unzip the package. 1. Copy the content of "Liveries" into your "Saved Games/DCS/Liveries" folder. 2. Copy the content of "tech" into your "Saved Games/DCS/Mods/tech" folder USAGE: The Mission Editor Loadout menu offers you to choose from a) a NAVY setup with 3 liveries (2x different numbering and a bare skin with a numbering template map you can use for your own numbering, needs some Gimp or Photoshop work though). For the Navy version, you can chose a MH-60R Loadout on Pylon 2. - or - b) a US Coast Guard "Jayhawk" livery and appropriate MH-60T Loadout on Pylon 1. CREDITS: This mod was inspired through the work from Upuaut, Nibbylot and Damientrix. I used some snippets of lua-scripts from each of these authors and modified them for this project. The 3D model of the helicopter was commercially purchased by myself and is licensed for royalty free usage and distribution. I made a lot of changes to the original model though. The Assets were modelled by me. Have naval and SAR fun! cheers, rato65 db_hh-60_folded.lua
