rato65 Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Nibbylot, are you still checking this thread? The mod is great, I have a lot of fun and it has potential, for me very much in understanding how a heli mod could work. Thanks very much for providing your work to the community! Currently I am working on a detailed livery, but it seems that some of the cockpit interior is just mapped with the oustide texture material. Meaning, that outside texture structures repeat on the Joysticks and panels. They seem not to have a their own material during creation of the models. Since no ED-dummy texture appears, there is not just a texture missing. See screenshot - the raster is placed for testing on the exterior texture, and repeats completely on the collective...among other elements of the outer color scheme. Do you think you could remap the interior in the model, or maybe provide the model source, so I could change it and provide if you agree? Thanks and all best for 2021!

Cheers Whisky
rato65 Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Thanks. Probably not until the interior mapping is correct.
whisky.actual Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 That's understandable, you can share it also here: https://discord.gg/3bH33fh2 I am pretty sure members will enjoy your work. I was planning also to make a livery for it, but the author seems to have abandon the project unfortunately.
Holton181 Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 It's not abandoned per se, he just consider it finished in light of the original template idea. It was never ment to become a finished full fidelity module, but merely a prof of concept and a template for others to build upon. Main part being the coding under the hood, not the graphics.This is my understanding of it any how.

The liveries are pretty rough at this stage though. On 1/1/2021 at 7:54 PM, Holton181 said: This is my understanding of it any how. So understand I too. It is a great project and I want to look deeper into it. However, it is very time consuming, so I will not promise anything. But if anybody does as well, we could exchange ideas. 2

=7CAV=WEDGE Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 I have a good detailed photo of the center console for a AH-6i
Sleipner Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 I had a little fun trying to create new skins for this little funny helicopter. (thanks nibbylot!) Not as good as I would like, but I'm a poor artist. Download here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/fr/files/3314815/ 5

Spino Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 How do you install the skins? I tried extracting them to the AH-6J folder in mods but it doesn't show up.

rato65 Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 you need to setup a folder in saved games/liveries/AH-6 and copy it there 1
rato65 Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Again I have to say a deep thank you to nibbylot, who gifted us with this fantastic Helicopter EFM Demo complete Template. Being far from experienced in flight phyiscs and all the details needed for the quality and realism which is so present in DCS, I played around with the EFM, the luas and some 3D modelling and I am quite excited to find out what is possible. It costs so much time, but it is a lot of fun. So - I find myself now designing a flyable MH-60 Jayhawk....and I had the first dozens of hours working on refining a purchased basic model, doing new materials and geometry, roughly adapting the EFM from nibbilot towards a somehow heavier aircraft - and test-flying and tuning it in Nevada almost each evening - wow, that is such a fun! It feels somehow realistic from what I can imagine, although it is truely not - I can't tell. Certainly different from the AH-6, heavier but not as wobbly as the Huey, but far from the Ka-50, very nice hovering and transitions to stable flight, with corrective actions I know from the Huey. Can't promise anything, but if I find the time to keep up with this and go as deep as FM physics and +- realistic cockpit, I'll share it. For now, I enjoy a flyable MH-60, which behaves not to bad if not stressed outside normal flying limits. Much of work ahead though... Cheers! DCS-Stock UH-60a in the back, new MH-60 lift-off. Landing on the back wheel first, sofar no suspension though. Edited February 17, 2021 by rato65 8

Landing on the back wheel first, sofar no suspension though. Awesome stuff!! Keep it up. I suggest you look at the F-16 demo for the wheel suspension as obviously its not needed for the AH-6. If you need to change the flight model look at the AeroData.h file, all the data points are labeled so its easy to change My mods: T-45C Heli EFM Demo FPV Drone

Yes, I alreay had a look into the AeroData.h and also found an appropriate table for the xx60 helicopters. I will adapt that and see who it will work. So far, I played only with masses and inertia, rotor position/diameter etc. in the luas and the AH6Constants.h - main issue is still the relatively fast yaw movement which is already less than your AH-6, but still too fast for this size of helicopter. Thanks for the tips - will check if I can do the wheels and suspension as well. Edited February 18, 2021 by rato65
