Eight Ball Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) DOWNLOAD Installation: 1. Place the "UH-1H Attachments" folder in "C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech" or "C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech" depending on which version of DCS you are using 2. Place the "UH-1H.lua" in "C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\MissionEditor\UnitPayloads" (Make a backup of the original file, it contains all your custom payloads for the UH-1H). 3. (optional) place the liveries in C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\uh-1h (2 liveries allowing you to dynamically add or remove the default pylons. See this video for how to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nchMOhnO45g Usage: - The attachments must be loaded in the mission editor, unfortunately they will not show up in the ingame rearming menu. - You can add a serie of custom args at the end of a livery description.lua to open/close the doors or remove/add the default pylons. in this example, both cargo doors will be open and the default pylons will not show up. custom_args = { [43] = 1.0, -- Left Cargo Door: 0 = Closed / 1 = Open [44] = 1.0, -- Right Cargo Door: 0 = Closed / 1 = Open [1000] = 1.0, -- Default Pylons: 0 = On / 1 = Off } Note: the AI will close their doors at mission start. As far as I know this is hardcoded. If you want the AIs to fly with their doors open you should place an enenmy unit near the spawn point and tweak the ROE accordingly. Alternatively, you can also use the 000 Pylons OFF livery to remove the default pylons once the mission has started: - There are grey variants of the M60, M134 and Rockets pylons. In order to use them you have to add this to the livery description.lua: {"m134_pylons", DIFFUSE, "m134_pylons_grey_diff", true}; -- miniguns pylons {"rocket_pylons", DIFFUSE, "rocket_pylons_grey_diff", true}; -- rockets pylons {"Material.005", DIFFUSE, "pylons_grey", true}; -- M60 pylons {"Material.004", DIFFUSE, "pylons_grey", true}; -- M60 pylons - There is a multicam variant for the modern infantry, edit the livery description.lua and add this: {"Topmat.001", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_top_multicam_diff", true}; {"Topmat.002", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_top_multicam_diff", true}; {"Topmat.003", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_top_multicam_diff", true}; {"Topmat.004", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_top_multicam_diff", true}; {"Bottommat.001", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_bottom_multicam_diff", true}; {"Bottommat.002", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_bottom_multicam_diff", true}; {"Bottommat.003", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_bottom_multicam_diff", true}; {"Bottommat.004", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_bottom_multicam_diff", true}; example with a generic description.lua, adding the custom args, grey pylons and multicam infantry: livery = { {"civ_uh1_main_dam", 0, "uh1", false}; {"civ_uh1_tail_dam", 0, "uh1_tail", false}; {"civ_uh1_main", 0, "uh1", false}; {"civ_uh1_tail", 0, "uh1_tail", false}; {"uh1_main_dam", 0, "uh1", false}; {"uh1_tail_dam", 0, "uh1_tail", false}; {"uh1_main", 0, "uh1", false}; {"uh1_tail", 0, "uh1_tail", false}; {"uh1_cov", 0, "uh1_cover", false}; --entries for the UH-1H Attachments Mod below: {"m134_pylons", DIFFUSE, "m134_pylons_grey_diff", true}; -- miniguns pylons {"rocket_pylons", DIFFUSE, "rocket_pylons_grey_diff", true}; -- rockets pylons {"Material.005", DIFFUSE, "pylons_grey", true}; -- M60 pylons {"Material.004", DIFFUSE, "pylons_grey", true}; -- M60 pylons {"Topmat.001", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_top_multicam_diff", true}; {"Topmat.002", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_top_multicam_diff", true}; {"Topmat.003", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_top_multicam_diff", true}; {"Topmat.004", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_top_multicam_diff", true}; {"Bottommat.001", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_bottom_multicam_diff", true}; {"Bottommat.002", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_bottom_multicam_diff", true}; {"Bottommat.003", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_bottom_multicam_diff", true}; {"Bottommat.004", DIFFUSE, "us_modern_bottom_multicam_diff", true}; } custom_args = { [43] = 1.0, -- Left Cargo Door: 0 = Closed / 1 = Open [44] = 1.0, -- Right Cargo Door: 0 = Closed / 1 = Open [1000] = 1.0, -- Default Pylons: 0 = On / 1 = Off } Special thanks to Tobi for the blender edm exporter aswell as Upuaut, Grajo and Rato65 Spoiler Original post: Something I've wanted for a long time is a slick huey. So I made a very basic pylon mod to do just that. More a proof of concept for now but maybe I'll try to make something more realistic in the future. I still have a few things to iron out but it should be available soon.

ST0RM Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Do they still shoot? I'd like to see the rocket pods mounted without the front gun mounts, but still have door gunners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratos Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I supose that having BOTH guns and rockets on rear pylon WITHOUT front pylon is impossible, right?

Eight Ball Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 Working on an update for the mod, beside the infantry I'm also planning to adapt the pylons for use with the door gunners' miniguns.

ggrewe Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) Damn Eightball - you are a regular genius! Your unique & beautifully rendered mods are amazing. You have an artistic ability & eye for detail that are a credit to the modding community, and we are privileged to have a modder of your ability. You just need to bolt speakers & surfboards on the sides - we can add the background music "Ride of the Valkyries" in mission Ride of the Valkyries Edited December 30, 2021 by ggrewe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
