Helicopter EFM Demo

just a suggestion, but its a texture in the textures folder with a very obvious name from memory, have you tried deleting the content of the file? I know having it able to be turned off would be the ideal response to your request, but just thinking in an interim state it might solve your problem.

Thanx. I hadnt looked into it, TBH life has been happening a bit too much lately and severely limiting my flight time. It happens

 

 

Edit: i tried, i renamed the dot, was left with no dot but instead a square where the dot wouldve been

Yeah dont delete the texture file, delete the dot from the content so the texture is just a transparent file.

Any change of a gofundme page or something similar so that for those of us who appreciate the effort put into this can buy the original developers a beer or two?

I do have the option to remove the aiming mark working, just waiting to complete other stuff before releasing the next version

Hello, I am interested in using this technique to implement a Chinook but I am having trouble finding the proper data for one. The closest thing I could find is this on PDF page 84, but the scan quality is terrible so I'm unable to make out the numbers.

I was wondering if anyone could find any better source in similar format to NASA CR-3144. Like how the AH-6 uses OH-6 data, I am fine with data for any CH-47 or similar model (CH-46, YHC-1A, whatever). Thank you!

Well my previous comment did not age well. There is an update but also some news about this project as a whole.

First I have released an update to have the option to remove the aiming dot and the textures are finally unwrapped so liveries may be done, big thanks to Particleman for that.

0.4 13 Oct

- Added option to remove aiming dot (under special options)

- External textures unwrapped and new basic textures thanks to Particleman

- Added cold start procedure to kneeboard

- Fixed bug where using the ']' key to cycle kneeboard pages moved idle cutoff and shut down engine

- Engine sound fixed (due to DCS update)

- RWR updated to more closely match real APR-39 display

- Added main menu logo

- Rockets able to be loaded when weapon plank removed - fixed

 

 

As for this project as of today I will no longer be updating it or working on it, indefinitely. I will explain why in the future.

I hope this means perhaps nibbylot is in talks with a dev to bring this to full release status, something id gladly pay for. I brought it up on the polychop discord, i think it was, cuz they have an affinity for light helos but someone expressed doubt based on this variant being in service....i dont care what version it is...500d, oh-6..i just wanna don a Hawaiian shirt, slap this livery on it and channel my inner magnum PI

[ngreenaway]

i only got to mess around with it for a few minutes, but looking better. wish there was a paint kit avail before you shut the project down indefinitely

 

thanx for everything so far tho!

[dali]

thank your for giving us this little gem. I hope you are abandoning for Goshawk :)

[kopirak kilju1]

Hey i really love the little bird but i dont have rudder pedals only a throttle with 2 rudder thingys would be awesome if you would add a keyboard bind for rudders thanks :D

[whisky.actual]

Thank you nibbylot for your work, I am sad that you can't continue, but I am greatfull for what you accomplished. Would you mind if the community continues your work? I would be interested in creating textures (cockpit and exterior) for this module. If this is acceptable send me a pm.

 

Regards,

Well thankyou for all your efforts! :joystick::pilotfly:

Well thankyou for all your efforts! :joystick::pilotfly:

 

+1. You've done the community an incredible service by allowing people to experience a helicopter in DCS! Thank you so much!

[minuzed]

Yeah I just tried it out and I love it! :)

[whisky.actual]

Quick question: the rockets will not fire for me. I have the master arm on, the missile selector l/r and I use the gun fire. Am I missing something? Guns work well, only the pods won't fire.

There are 2 different keybinds for gun and rockets, can't remember the exact name but it's something along the lines of "gun fire" and "weapons fire"

[macd55]

Good job! Thanks, I'd like to see next steps...

Did you get hired?

[Scarecrow84]

This is awesome! I know I'm late to the party but if anyone wants to jump in a multiplayer server (Syria would be great) to form around in this thing let me know...

[Stratos]

Is there any tip video to twist the controls to make it easier to control? I love it but sometimes is like mounting a mad mule over a skateboard on top of a champagne glass tower, and I think I need something less sensitive. Anyone?
