[REQUESTED]Request For Huey Upgrade (No Doors)

[DeltaXrayBravo]

I have a question here for Wags or NineLine. When you guys release the Huey update, would it be possible to add a Huey that has no cockpit doors. It looks badass and helps out with sling loads if you have no doors as you can look straight down, but with the door on the aircraft your only choice is to open the door. I’m thinking just like the way the spitfire is where it’s a another model, almost exactly the same but with clipped wings, only this model would have no cockpit doors. Here’s a couple of pictures so you can see what I’m talking about. Let me know if You agree with me that this would be an cool feature for the Huey!

This would be a great feature for sling load pilots!

Maybe there is a way to add a doors/ no doors option to the rearming menu?

[Cskelly]

Agreed! You nailed it. I knew something was missing visually but could figure out what it was but you nailed it.

[Stratos]

Important too will be to be able to carry the MG without the damn hardpoints.

[Killight]

I want it, definitly !!

[Kev2go]

id also want a Huey upgrade to include a RWR since post Vietnam Army hueys had such capability (you can also see mounts spots the air frame within DCS 3d model where RWR sensors would be installed)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

US army huey's had AN/APR39 RWR, but what former BST had modeled was something closely resembling the Aussie bushranger as opposed to US army Huey mode.

You guys need to remember...just because particular unit had a piece of equipment or system does not mean they all had it...or lacked it.

But it would be a good upgrade for our Huey in Combat situation

That is true Sierra, but the doors off isn’t a key component that will greatly alter the Huey. Not only that but doors off was and is pretty common to this day from the Vietnam War. Someone in a Facebook group said it best, even better than my idea, to make it an option in the Rearm menu, to be able to take the Hard-points and Doors off of the Huey, that way we can let the wind blow through our hair, and have a, “Slick” Huey for troop movements. I don’t know, just food for thought and would definitely make the Huey a lot cooler

No doors, and no hardpoints WITH door gunners would have been present from day 1, is time already to correct that lack.

It shouldn't be that hard. They just need to disable door textures. And this request is being made since years..

Sorry I was talking about the RWR not the doors...Doors On Doors Off, I got no dog in that fight. ???? (Unless I am mistaken, OH-58s flew sans doors.)

Hi all,

 

we can not promise anything, but wanted to let you know a feature request has been made internally.

 

thanks

Doors only or gunners without hardpoints as well?

RWR would be useful feature, i dont see a reason not to include a RWR variant Huey if there is ever a remodel/cockpit update done ala Ka50, A10C or P51D25/D30 as even if not all had, it it certainly is noted as a standard feature in the manual I have. ( after all thats why later productions had those cones built into the airframe for RWR sensor mounting)Fact is minus RWR this current Huey model is already representative of not only a post nam but a late 1980s model given not only installation of countermeasure system, but also composite rotor blades and NVG compatible cockpit.

 

After all AN/APR39 is a RWR system that Ah1S modernized ( or depending on chosen nomenclature : the Ah1F) will have, a module ED has planned. May as well kill two birds with 1 stone.

Umm, has anyone tried removing the doors texture?

 

Doesn't DCS default to a weird green camo patern when there's a missing texture?

[RabidRider]

Please ED, options for RWR, no doors and gunners without hardpoints. Surprise us.

There is already an option in the ME to open the doors by trigger action, and by the player over the keyboard.

The only thing I miss is a way to get the AI open up their doors without a hostile target available. No front doors are not really common.

[Stratos]

My question about the no hardpoints with door gunners got unanswered, but I really hope they can add that feature together with the no doors.

 

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Hard to believe that this wasn't implemented as an option from the initial release,or at the very worse,as an update that would've been made available to us at a later date.This,(the doors),being such an iconic part of a Huey.

 

Now,had we been discussing putting the doors on,I could've believed the reason why it's taken a while,but almost every picture of the iconic Huey in Vietnam,shows the chopper with the doors off or slid back.....funny how the devs see how the module should be created.

 

To be discussing the possibility of a request by it's customers years after it's release,is quite sad,and very disappointing,that we the customers are having to beg the devs almost at this late stage to try and force the feature to be created.

 

Well done DeltaXrayBravo for bringing this up

A Google image search for 'Vietnam Huey' shows almost no images of aircraft with doors off.

 

I have around 1200 hours in the Huey and about two of them were with the pilot doors removed.

 

Cabin doors pinned back, yes... Off, almost never.

 

I'm not saying it shouldn't be an option, but you're overstating the importance.

Bump.

Doors off please

[DCoffey]

I say a graphics refresh like they did with the KA-52 would be more welcomed, but I know someone else is working on a new cockpit (god bless them)

[Dragon1-1]

Well, they did the F-5 recently, which makes me hope that they're now (slowly) going through the old modules and updating the visuals (along with fixing bugs, hopefully) for a reasonable fee. While the Huey really needs is a Heatblur-style customizable cockpit system, but I'll be happy with removable doors as a start.
