stray cat Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 When did the UH-1H represented in dcs go into service first? Wikipedia says 1966-67. Does that mean the one we fly ingame is the exact same thing down to all parts from that era or is there some more modern upgrades added to it?
Lizzard Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I would say this is the 60s Huey..all the analog Instruments...the only improvement I guess is the Radar Altimeter.. My Specs: I don`t care..it is a Computer..a black one..
Home Fries Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 The composite rotors modeled in the DCS UH-1H were added in the early 80s. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
Slippery Pete Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I think we're flying a Bell Huey II, not exactly the same as the Nam era models. For aesthetic purposes, I wish we could get rid of the flare dispensers while in gunship mode, so at least we look could look more like the older versions.
VincentLaw Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I think we're flying a Bell Huey IIThen why doesn't my cockpit look like this? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Lizzard Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Then why doesn't my cockpit look like this? go to Youtube and search for some UH-1 Cockpit Videos...if you watch 10 Videos, you will most likely have 10 slightly different Cockpits..seems like all the Guys pimp the Huey to fit their needs My Specs: I don`t care..it is a Computer..a black one..
Slippery Pete Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 That is one particular Huey with one particular cockpit. Most Huey II's still have the same basic layout we have.
VincentLaw Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I just copied that cockpit directly from the Bell website for the Huey II. I don't know what exactly makes a Huey II a Huey II, but according to both Bell and Wikipedia, the Huey II has a T53-L-703 engine. The standard UH-1H has a T53-L-13, and according to the DCS Huey manual, we have a T53-L-13B. Furthermore, since this is an officially licensed product, I think they would market it as a Huey II if it was a Huey II. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
msalama Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Hmmm... maybe our Huey is based on these choppers? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SSCN5027.JPG The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
scrtagnt69 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 go to Youtube and search for some UH-1 Cockpit Videos...if you watch 10 Videos, you will most likely have 10 slightly different Cockpits..seems like all the Guys pimp the Huey to fit their needs :thumbup: yep like Pimp my Huey..The old timers cry when they see glass panels and modern add ons.
Slippery Pete Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Department of State Huey II's match ours externally.
J7G Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 That camo always reminded me of an 80s mercenary movie heh.
