Frag Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Hi guys, with the revamp of the A10 in the the A10 II and the upcoming shark III ... I am wondering. Did ED ever mentioned redoing the Huey at some point? The Huey is by far the most popular helicopter, I am pretty sure they would have a lot of attention on a Huey II. I would personally drool all over this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) What kind of upgrade would it be? Personally, I'm only really interested in a graphical overhaul, the rest of the stuff is more general DCS things (such as improved embarking/disembarking). EDIT: And also any fixes/improvements to the FM.

A 3D / graphical overhaul like they did for the A-10 II . For sure seeing the infantry on board would be AMAZING. But I think that we should bet too much money on that until they completely revamp the infantry units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notproplayer3 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Yes, of course, a new 3d model/textures would be amazing. But I'm wondering, are there any comprehensive upgrades that could be added to the uh1 just as in the a10c II and blackshark 3? I don't know what it could be, new systems that were present in later/alternate models, perhaps even the dual engine uh1n but I guess that would be pushing it a bit far since there are a lot of differences that could require some substantial work.

jnr4817 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Absolutely, if they added the 430 to the dash and few other modern options. 2 8600K|64 GB 3200|4090|m.2 http://www.blacksharkden.com/ Come join us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Yes, if engine power, auto-rotation and flight model bugs were fixed and a AN/APR-39 RWR added. Obviously I'd want lighting and textures to be improved to work with 2.7 as the old textures feel dated and/or have issues i.e. matt vs shiny liveries, etc. 2 i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm only really interested in a graphical overhaul, the rest of the stuff is more general DCS things (such as improved embarking/disembarking). Pretty much that for me as well. Seeing passengers actually getting on board and sitting in the back would be amazing. With the release of the Hind this year, I think it would also be a good time to implement this. Would be interesting to see how they fit 14 guys in the back... Then some overhauled cockpit textures and maybe some newer navigation instruments (I hate ADF navigation) I´d gladly pay a few additional bucks for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiki Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I'm in the opposite camp. Fixes to FM (less power to pitch coupling, less flapback after ETL), engine startup (can't have hotstart even with throttle at full), adding chaff, adding second set of radios(although it can be worked around with SRS settings). I can live with how it looks. These are things I would pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey11 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Maybe if we could get the UH-1N or UH-1Y as a more modern variant with it... sure. But if all we are doing is updating graphics, it'd better be pretty inexpensive.

Rudel_chw Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I prefer to spend my $$ on new aircrafts, rather than new versions of what I currently own, unless the upgrade cost was really low, like it happened with the A-10C II. But I'd rather have completely new aircrafts or helicopters. 2 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirrah Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I'd pay for an update like they did on the A-10C II.

ED Team m4ti140 Posted May 10, 2021 ED Team Share Posted May 10, 2021 I would pay for a UH-1N. But I don't see what you can add to H to make it worth the upgrade price. TACAN? Would it be worth anything if it's just a matter of mostly copy-pasting it from another module? UH-1N would give much more utility to the Tarawa on the other hand. It's not just the variety of changes to accommodate carrier ops, most importantly it's a twin engine helicopter vs single engine of UH-1H. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliefox2 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Would definitely pay for an upgrade. The cockpit is definitely looking dated. Another user said chaff, which would be nice. I'd like to see troops/cargo in the cabin as well, though maybe that's more of a core dcs thing. Our weapon control panel has a 40mm toggle on the select switch but it can't be activated... Maybe something else that could be added? The graphical bug where it appears like your or your friends rotors are bent up/down at a 45 degree angle is also a bit ridiculous. Multicrew really needs to be reworked. We need a separate category for copilot vs pilot keybinds. In what world would I want the copilot force trim switch to be different from the pilot force trim switch? I don't have a full sim with two separate seats built for this thing lol. Both stations should be able to use weapons regardless of who loaded them. Etc. I guess it's better than having no multicrew at all like in the Mi-8? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry T. Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I nice upgrade would be a US Marine UH-1N. APR-39, AAR-47, rockets, a nice sensor Brite Star II, and it's retired. 4 VMFA-122 Crusaders [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only looks to be emergency power from what I can see - the T53 of the UH-1H is rated for ~1400 shp compared to the T400-CP-400 Twin-Pac which produces 1250 shp with an 1800 emergency.
