Gandalf_56 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Hi pals I do not know if I have missed something, but until now there isn't any third party working on the development of a naval helicopter!!! With Naval ops arround the corner, It would be wise to have a Seahawk module fully modeled in DCS Word. For virtual helo fans It would be a very nice addition.

Jhuss96 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Well a full fledged model would be a pretty big task and as far as I know most of the devs both ED and third party currently have projects on their plate. However I would like to see ED put out an updated 3D model for the MH-60R/S Seahawk for AI. The Seahawk is a pretty common sight on the coming aircraft carrier as well as on the LHA that Razbam is developing for the harrier. I see it as pretty vital to immersion when doing carrier operations.

Rangi Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) I would like to see naval helicopters as well, however there is a lot of core functionality that would need to be developed to to really have a full DCS module, not least being an underwater world simulation. OP may be interested in this thread, not an upcoming module but interesting.... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=147020 Edited June 18, 2017 by Rangi Linky PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor.

OnlyforDCS Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Yeah it's only a tease for now, but Razbam might very well be working on a Super Stallion. Which would be awesome. If they are it's very far out I think.

AG-51_Razor Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Or upgrade the Huey to a Venom. Sent from my P01M using Tapatalk About the only thing those two helicopters have in common is the manufacturer. The basic shape of the Huey is close but from a 3D modeler's perspective, I am pretty sure that it would be a 'start from scratch' project and that's just the outside. The systems and flight modeling would be a whole other thing. All that aside, I couldn't agree more, that a Venom would be an awesome addition to the DCS World! :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaD CrC Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 To begin with, ED needs to figure out how to keep the chopper on the deck without sliding off it (although the trials with 2.1 are encouraging). MBot made this totally awesome ASW script long time ago. I don't know if it still works for 1.5.6. I believe the 2.1 have some provisions for this kind of operations in the future as, when wind setting is really high and the waves are huge, you can see the bottom of the sea in some shallow areas. Finaly, CH53 would be a dream, but I like the ka27 too!:thumbup: https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Pharoah Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) What ED should have done was build the Sikorsky UH60, which is used by both the Army (UH60) and Navy (SH60) and is a modern day helicopter instead of a Vietnam era huey which really has very little use in the current DCS World as it is. Yes i know we use it for slingloading, etc but exactly how many Vietnam era hueys do you see in current wide-spread service?

WHOGX5 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Now, I'm not an S-70 expert, nor am I a simulator module developer, but I don't think it wouldn't be too daring of a task to develop multiple H-60 variants. I know for a fact that the UH-60A and the SH-60B share 83% part commonality, and the HH-60G's are upgraded UH-60A's. This leads me to believe that developing the UH-60A, SH-60B, and HH-60G wouldn't be too much work, compared to just developing one of them. They all have the same airframe, and all three of them share the same General Electric T700 engines (or T701's if later upgraded variants). So developing stuff like engine performance or flight models would only have to be done once. It's not like developing a F/A-18C and F/A-18E which have completely different engines and airframes, not to mention avionics. Once you have developed the UH-60A, all that's left (and I don't mean to imply this isn't a lot of work) is the specialized equipment for the remaining variants: FLIR, MAD/SAD, etc. for the SH-60B, and refueling probe, weather radar, etc. for the HH-60G. Both the SH-60B and the HH-60G have folding rotors, so both are able to perform shipboard operations. With all of these different abilities in the same airframe, this would allow us to fly all sorts of missions in all sorts of environments. I can't speak for everyone, but I'd be perfectly happy if all these modules were released separately at full price, even though it's less work per module, and then we, the users, buy the ones we want. Win-win in my book. For ED, or whomever might develop the H-60, it will be less time and money spent for greater revenue. But, then I've heard Sikorsky aren't to fond of handing out licenses to sim-devs so.... Yeah. :D Here are the cockpits side by side. As you can see the cyclics, consoles, panels, etc. are pretty similar apart from a few of the avionics, especially between the SH-60B and HH-60G.
