Recommended Posts

Now that is official as Wags announced that the F-5 will get an update, I want to request this as an option, so the player get hability of making the pilot wear a HGU-2 helmet and oxygen mask, current helmet looks too modern, specially for IRIAF F-5 Tigers. So player can select between the current modern helmet, and the old one that will fit better on earlier missions.

 

Current one:

he didnt announce an Update for the F-5E,

 

He said one that he would like to see updated would be the F-5E.

 

With the upcoming revamp to the Black Shark, we’re seeing a free update to an old module combined with paid DLC to add new gizmos. Do you see this as a viable way of continuing support for all the elder modules in the back catalogue or is this something you need to try out first?

 

Yes. We will continue to update older content as DCS World grows, and part of that will be updating older aircraft modules like the Ka-50 and A-10C. While we will provide a free update version of these modules to existing owners, we will also provide more feature-rich versions of the module to new and existing users. These more feature rich versions will be offered to existing owners of the module at a substantial discount. Once the Ka-50 and A-10C updates are done, we’ll look at other aircraft to refresh. A big one for me would be an update to the F-5E for example.

Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2),

ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9)

3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs

you know you quoted my response from over 3 years ago,

the plans have almost certainly changed since Nov. 2019.

Didn't realize 🙂 I quoted the very latest F-5E mention, from the November interview at with Ginky and others, if anyone's asking.

Ok, now that the F-5E is getting some love, can we get this helmet as an option please?

Soon we will get Iraq map with some of Iran so we can replay IRIAF operations on that war...

Was watching a YouTube video of RedFlag exercises in the 80's, and was thinking, hey, we have all this skins/schemes for DCS Tiger, and those guys were wearing proper era helmet, check pics please. With the hinted new 3d model of the F-5, I want to renew my request for proper HGU-2 helmet as an option for the Tiger pilot. Please @NineLine take a look of those pics, and forgive their quality, they are takien from a video recorded in the 80's. Thanks.

5 years today since I opened the request. Hope to get an answer soon, specially seeing the updated 3d model hinted on the screenshots above.

And it didn't made it

With Iran and Iraq coming soon, would have been the moment to do it, but why bother, right ED?

There are numerous issues with the new cockpit. I can imagine very few items of lesser importance than that helmet. So I'm guessing ED hasn't responded to your post with "That's right" out of politeness 🙂

Both things are compatible, is annoying we can have the most realistic 3d watch on the Mi-24P, but we cannot have the HGU-2 helmet on the F-5.

Thanks for posting this, but apart of the skins, what's the difference?

That's the difference.  They can get away with saying "3 different helmets" because although they are all the same base helmet they are different helmets.  For example, Maverick would not wear Goose's helmet because both have personalized their helmets making them in effect "different" helmets.  Sure, that's not what we want to hear, but that's a perfectly valid reading of the statement and not surprising given the overall lack of updated content in this "remaster"

The helmets are separately skinnable and in the future may be selectable (as in not tied to the base skin). For your own health I advise assuming seperate helmet 3D models for the same aircraft are going to come when it's the core feature for ED's "VR" pilot 3D models.
