UH-60L Black Hawk Mod ("Official" Thread)

[Arrow11]

Learning to land on the most unforgiving boat decks with just the keyboard, featuring the mh60r. (After several crashes of course). This one is the supply ship which has a very short flight deck for the mh60's dimensions.

So APR39 sounded noisy and too quiet for my ear so I couldn`t figure out a thing it was talking, so I applied some denoise on audio files and cranked up the volume via sdef files (u can ditch those if you find volume is ok) and I`m pretty happy with the results.

Nice!

Are there any skins for the MH-60R mod? Or will any of the naval ones already created, fit? 

[Tanuki44]

No, the numerous modifications to the airframe do not allow the existing liveries to be reused.
The 3D model is finalized and the work of the artist of the UH-60L is in progress
Patience, just like for the missions ... WIP

[ST0RM]

Thank you for the reply. I'll sit tight and wait,

Cheers

Ok now since I can tell what APR39 speaks - I`ve noticed it always says "SA SA UNKNOWN" After some poking in scripts i`ve noticed

function getSAMType(samData)
	local samType
	if samData.unit_type_sym:get() == "a8" then
...

when it should check for 8a

made a quick fix for that part and following SAM types and now it speaks correctly. Attaching fixed script

SRS has been updated and is now compatible with the MH-60R Mod 

Thanks to them

What's the latest version of the UH-60L mod please? 1.3.1?

Apparently it's causing some vehicle sounds to be missing in CA

Yes 1.3.1. The main project unfortunately has stopped now however like for free mod its a top quality. For me, could be improved a bit FM (tail action), no TACAN, RWR has limitations, fuel systems (A2A), no crew on external view still and few small things. But it's still a great addon, and I'm a bit surprised that ED themselves wouldn't want to make it a paid model if they put in the extra own work on their part to bring it to level of payware helios.

Has there been official word about stopping the development?

No, but that's the my own impression. On Discord, I don't see anything going on with further development and incoming announcements of patch/improvements. Did you see it or if You know somethimething more, share it pls. There is a weapon mod in development of @Tanuki44 but nothing has happened since April last year in terms of basic 1.3.1 and if you read the manual you probably know there are a few of words about "soon" and unfortunately that didn't happen, with all due respect to the creator. I'm sure he spent a lot of time to bring this module to such an advanced state. It was months if not years of work. Honestly, we could even throw something into further development, make some fundraiser for the author for further development of the model, but I think such practices are prohibited by ED. I do not know. Personally, I would even pay extra to see the things I wrote about above.

I have a feeling that this Black Hawk is going to be official module at some point, just like C-130. Or Kinkkujuustovoileipä is just occupied on other projects, concerning maybe DCS.

Well, a official UH60L DCS module would be fantastic we‘d all be so happy.

The developer of the UH60 mod is actually working for Polychop and should be busy in their projects.

Once there was a slogan between words that they did not rule out UH-60 for DCS also officially. Maybe after Chinook. We'll see.

Good news about Polychop. Maybe they will do finally the Kiowa.

In fact, I haven't refueled in flight for a long time, and now I did it for the first time in VR. Oh how simple it is! Piece of cake. The first approach and immediately full tank .

Just 2 things:

A) looks like an issue (or function not completed), I recived more than 4500 of fuel on the digital indicator (but 100% without external tanks is 2360 like on picture):

the scale unfortunately has disappeared as well

B)how to find a tanker if we havent TACAN in UH-60L? Any idea? Of course I can use the F10 map, but I prefer more realistic navigation

Nope. ED called dibs on the UH-60.

Good news is the flight model, 3d and 2d will be most likely be really good. Bad is news is it's probably half a decade away...

Yep, that‘s right. If we get a  Blackhawk one day…..we‘d get it from ED.

Would it be possible for you to 'spruce up' the cockpit textures (wear-and-tear, dirt, etc.), or release the cockpit model for the community to do?

Also, it would be nice if the rotor-spoolup-time could be extended a bit.

This is amazing addon for UH-60L. I think it could be integrated and it colud increase high level for the whole module!

Thanks @Chef98, who did this campaignes, I spent last 10 evenings to finish his both campaignes. Wow, they are "payware" or even more quality. Perfectly captures the operation and use of the UH-60L. It was amazing adventure with many extra ideas :). Good job @Chef98 and "Move order" campaignes are a must-have upgrade for any UH-60L fan!  I had loads of fun. BIG thank You!

Fuel tanks are missing textures and are small (dont look like they belong).  Using V1.3.1.  How can I fix this problem?

Do you have installed the Sea King mod? I had the same problem some weeks ago. Removing the Sea King mod solved the issue for me.
