Stratos Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 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: HGU-2 helmet carried by IRIAF pilots... The helmet itself. 1 I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
SkateZilla Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 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
Stratos Posted November 11, 2019 Author Posted November 11, 2019 My fault then, sorry. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Stratos Posted January 9, 2024 Author Posted January 9, 2024 (edited) With recent pics from HB showing how is possible to select different helmet options, I will like to request this option again. The hability to select wich helmet we want for the F5. The HB options example... Edited January 9, 2024 by Stratos 2 I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Stratos Posted January 11, 2024 Author Posted January 11, 2024 @NineLine can you please move this into F-5 wishlist forum? thanks. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

Stratos Posted June 7, 2024 Author Posted June 7, 2024 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... 2 I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
RustBelt Posted August 6, 2024 Posted August 6, 2024 I think the pilot customization is all HB back end stuff. Not DCS core stuff.
Stratos Posted October 18, 2024 Author Posted October 18, 2024 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. 1 I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Stratos Posted November 11, 2024 Author Posted November 11, 2024 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. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

There are numerous issues with the new cockpit. I can imagine very few items of lesser importance than that helmet.

Stratos Posted December 7, 2024 Author Posted December 7, 2024 Thanks for posting this, but apart of the skins, what's the difference? I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Stackup Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 3 hours ago, Stratos said: 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" 1 Modules: F-14A/B, F/A-18C, F-16C, F-4E, F-5E, FC3, AV-8B, Mirage 2000C, L-39, Huey, F-86, P-51, P-47, Spitfire, Mosquito, Supercarrier Maps: Persian Gulf, Syria, NTTR, Marianas, Normandy 2, Channel, Kola Upcoming Modules Wishlist: A-1H, A-7E, A-6E, Naval F-4, F-8J, F-100D, MiG-17F
Bucic Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 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. 1 1 F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
