NS430 in the Hind?

+1 but I don't think they'll do it unfortunately

[SmukY]

Yes it could be a nice addition - not only that, I'd have another reason to learn how to use it, lol. I have it for Mi-8, played a little with it but never actually used for what it is intended to use for lol.

Maybe I'm an outlier here but I prefer the pop up.  Easier to see, doesn't replace anything else, and can be used in both pilot/operator roles.

Is there even enough space for the NS430?

I am glad it has at least a analog moving map.

Analog paper map display would be a good candidate to be replaced with NS430 or tactical MFD with nav , comm, and fire control. MI-24P pit is so 1978.

I know some people use the paper map in the kneeboard and the binding “mark kneeboard map with present position” to be able to see exactly where they are and compare it to paper map in cockpit 

[DmitriKozlowsky]

Everybody does that. A quick checkmark on kneeboard map, made by computer, is as good as having digital navigation display. That task in real life, marking the map current position by hand, is incredibly difficult, and takes a lot of experience. Mounted land navigation is a martial skill, and a perishable one.

I hope ED will continue with GNS430 3d model implementation in all other cocpits... 

I need help from someone to make this possible trough Saved Games Mods folder using only LUAs, redirecting placement and from where to load model... This is all base core things, no custom models and textures. I would like to make same for Huey, Hind and some other aircrafts.

Is that even possible? Looks great

Wow really well done! This would make me buy the 430.

PLS GIVE NS430 

[ebabil]

Looks very cool.  If this is that easy, then why are they making us beg to implement that? Even they charge for every single module? 

[zerO_crash]

Adding more pictures of specifically the Mi-24P. Mine is not perfectly aligned, where the one implemented by ED can be tilted 45^* and still be realistically used. The point is, there is plenty of space. ED, you can make the NS430 popular this way. I know for sure, that I have had it since release, but not used it, until frankly the first 3D models popped up. 2D simply never was a choice for me, esp. after the transition to VR upon its inception.

Does it show waypoints created in ME?

I bought it a long time ago, but never really learned how to use it.

[FlyNeX]

It shows waypoint created in Editor or in server route creator.

Im glad you succes zerO_crash, as you can see, there is a plenty of room in Mi24 cockpit for GNS430. I would like they positioned like myne was positioned, looks more cool I think...
Even in Yak 52 can be fited ifs move back a little bit. I really hope ED will implement this in Yak, Hind, Huey, Sabre, F-5, Mig-15 and even in Mi-8 in front of pilot as I showed up.

So ED, make us happy with those little integration.

And I really hope avionics will be "connected" one day with GNS430, so Radio and ILS frequencies CDI/GPS can work properly.

[admiki]

TBH, I like ED's approach of "era appropriate and as real as possible" modules. In that sense, GPS is out of line for all the modules you mentioned.

But seeing how ED turned this all around by working on F35, yeah, bring the NS 430 in! 

[ebabil]

Mi8 is also from similar era but it has the 430

I generally don't have time to play around with these things, but as I stated, it can be positioned better (I haven't figured the rotation and collision of model with any surface yet), with it resting on the dashboard. That is how they'd typically be placed, if one looks at pictures/videos online.

Realism above all. This is, however, not realism breaking. There currently Mi-24Ps and Vs flying for both Russia and Ukraine in the ongoing war between the two. There have been modern wars/kinetic incidents where these aircraft (among others), have been used with even handheld GPS Garmin units. To top that off, for aerobatic/modern free-flight, this is a common occurance. 

 

It's completely realistic, given that you are simulating post '98 conflict. That's also why you can disable it in order to enforce time-specific equipment for earlier wars.

 

Counter to any other wishes, GPS is the one thing that is so common and mobile nowadays, that it's realistic from the outset for just about any aircraft. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, I've seen (through closed Rus channels on Telegram and the likes) shorts and longer videos made by pilots of various aircraft, where they recieve Garmin wrist watches and show off the coordinate and map functionality. That is, they show what they use them for. While I'm not entirely dug down on modern Garmins and whether you can selectively chose which system to use, I've seen them use both GPS and GLONASS. Those who haven't yet recieved such dedicated equipment, often use their phones or even tablets.
