Hey folks, figured I'd start an "official" thread for the mod, as it came up in the other one a lot but obviously I wasn't responsible for creating it 🙂 I'll do my best to update this as muc

Hi all, I hope you're doing well! As development on the 2.0 build of the UH-60L mod is wrapping up I'd like to give an overview of the changes coming to the mod and some thoughts on the future.

Excellent new ver 2.0 looking forward to flying this amazing chopper. One question, how would I install it using Modern Mod Manager and not use the included installer.exe.

from the instructions:

 

"I have uploaded a backup archive of the mod to the same location. Simply extract it to your Saved Games/DCS folder."

Why made a downloader/installer ? :suspect: ( advantages / disadvantages ??? )
Why this is not an usual unzip/unrar, drag&drop into SavedGames-DCS-Mods-Aircrafts-module-folder ?

 

because there is people that still places user mods within the DCS folder itself?

Because not a single day goes by when I don't get messaged on Discord by someone who can't read basic instructions and they fail to install it properly. It's really annoying and the installer ensures it is put in the correct location.

It also places the script for the door gunners in the correct location too.

Lastly, it checks and shows you the update changelog so you can just run the installer and know if there is a new version and update. And I can just keep uploading regular small fixes when I can, without having to publish and announce lots of new versions.

I think it is much simpler for everyone involved. I know it maybe conflicts with people who use mod managers, but I think on the whole that is a minority of players and the benefits are worth it.

Agreed. In general, dedicated installers are a great improvement for accessibility and uptake whilst reducing dev support workload. Good call!

I finally got around to flying it and having some fun. Thanks for another great upgrade (after all this time!). It's really nice to return to the UH-60L after all this time and see such cool changes.

The crew (though quite mysterious ;)) looks really good now (at least Kiowa level), and is also visible in VR. It's also visible externally.

Also, the rotor animation is finally very good, along with the blur effect, but I actually like this effect and it's great that it was improved.

As for the interior, I only feel (and this is more noticeable in VR) that the Collective grip itself is too large. I have a copy of the Virpil, and the head itself isn't as large as the model's in relation to the hand. I feel the scale here is too large. Generally, the grip head protrudes only slightly beyond the palm and fingers when held.

And if it would be possible to slightly improve the modeling of the door from the inside and a better texture here:

But it's still great work! I also really like the new interior window effect; it gives a better perspective and you can see the reflections, which shows that we have something there (and with some mods I always get the impression that there are frames without windows). Congratulations! I'm looking forward to playing with the UH-60L more, although I'm waiting for the MiG-29A.

Nice! looks like recorded in VR?

Much appreciated my friend! 100% recorded in vr. Old school Pimax8K.  I use OBS with the VR plugin.  Works like a charm.

Door gunner performance should be fixed, still waiting on feedback from any server owners.

What feedback do you need I can implement it into our current Foothold server tonight and look for anything you need to know.

Love the update so far - not having flown the old version too often, but I really enjoy V 2.0!

One thing I noticed is that the mod is really heavy on fps - I get a worse framerate than in the AH-64.

I’m the same, I didn’t really bond with the first version but absolutely love 2.0.

Its amazing how much immersion the reworked flight model along with the pilot and gunner models bring.👌

afaik, this mod is completely independent from the UH-60L, so you should be fine.
