Jim Bob Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Hi everyone! So the latest DCS World update I received a few days ago appears to include an updated Huey model and improved external sound. I haven't seen these mentioned in patch notes though. Has anyone else noticed these updates? The main reason I ask is because i'm now looking for layered templates of the new model to make skins. Does anyone know if these are available? Cheers, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bob Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Yeah I made a booboo with the model thing. After the update, I threw myself into a mission and realised the WSPS (cable cutters) had disappeared. But doing a mission just now, it seems they are linked to the external hardpoints, and as such, are only equipped the same. Sorry!:poster_oops: There is definitely an external sound update though. There's a new sound file in the huey folder whose time/date stamps match that of the latest update. I haven't installed any mods other than a few skins. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think after some compliants (including me :D) they solved the sound problem! I have been using skull's sound mod which is perfect, so i hadn't bothered original sounds for a long time. Now i disabled the mod to check your claim, yes it is true. Now it sounds like a huey now.

But i didin't noticed any 3d model changes Thanks for the reply, ebabil. Yeah the 3D model was my own mistake because i'm still relatively new to the Huey, and it was the first time i'd flown it without hardpoints. Seeing that the WSPS had disappeared as well, I thought it had been updated! The sound is epic now! It really does sound like a Huey, especially when it's some distance away from the camera. It makes for some awesome replay viewing! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VampireNZ Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I am using VR - and trying to match my body to the pilot body in VR which is prob more the problem. Comparing this position to sitting in a RL Huey (not comparing photos), it is too low. I have to duck my head to even see out the door window as my eyes are inline with the upper door frame IRL. Also need to duck slightly to read all the overhead panel labels. Am 5"10.

It's hard if trying to align the body at x height, I duck a little and reset. Then sit back up.

Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 According to https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/products/helicopters/huey/ the Huey was released in 2013, when there was no VR support yet. All other older modules have the same problem of the cockpit having the wrong scale. I too hope it will get fixed, hopefully not long after we get the updated Ka-50.

Also need to duck slightly to read all the overhead panel labels. Am 5"10. try adjusting the in game IPD setting. reducing the number will make you feel squatter and wider. im 5' 11" and adjusted it so it feels real for me. in VR it has to do with the distance between your eyes and not your height. for how the world scale feels. start with setting your actual IPD. most people seem to find this better than the default. and if you feel too tall and skinny. then reduce it. to short and fat then increase it.

Greyhound11 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 i have to move my viewpoint forward a few inches, but other than that it feels fine. I've never been in a huey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been in a huey though. that is actually why I started messing with IPD :) every time I got in the gazelle I had to move my head a couple of inches back away from the gunsight using the default ipd. setting a custom ipd fixed it.

ebabil Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 The weird thing with the sound is, when you are on the ground, huey's sound is old bad sound.

I have never been in a chopper with such crystal clear glazing.............. NEVER! You've also never been in a helicopter where the pilot had only one eye and it only had about half of its operating field of vision. This pilot also has no inner ear, and his leprosy has rendered him unable to feel anything through his skin. His one, poor, eye also has a scarred retina reducing colour and detail, and his ocular muscles don't allow for quick and accurate eye movement. His spine, of course, is completely fused, and judging by his neck movement, he may have Parkinson's. So, tell me, wise one, about how unrealistic and childish having clear glass is?
