@ANDR0ID maybe you can help a noob out. I've downloaded the latest version of the 60L, everything works fine. Downloaded and unzipped the 5.7 Armed mod but cant get it to "work," as in I cant fly anything other than basic loadout config. I've tried dropping it in \saved, \mods\, \aircraft, and even \UH60L. Any advice or guidance on where to put the Armed mod in terms of files? TIA

 

 

AirCav620, I've attached the latest user guide for Armed Blackhawk with Install instructions, but in short you'll be installing the Armed Blackhawk files over (overwriting) some of the UH-60L files in your saved games folder.

Hello fellas, i've been enjoying the mod a lot and i wanted to share it with a friend, we were trying to work out how the multicrew function works and we just havent been able to find much help online on how to do it. To be fair we didnt understand the manual very well either so i was looking to see if anyone can help us out? Specifically we cant seem to figure out what port and IP to put in the .lua file and if we have to put eachothers ports on the same slots or if it doesnt matter which of 4 we choose? Thanks in advance, its a great mod to have for free!

sorry just a question, in 1.3 the hely can carry and use minigun , why in 1.4 this feature there is no more?

 

The original version 1.3 of the UH60L mod did not carry any weapon. The 1.4 add-on by Tanuki, added Miniguns.

After upgrading to v1.4 you'll need to reinstall the Armed Blackhawk mod as well.

I'm sure a stupid question but how do you add/remove the refueling probe.  I can't find it anywhere and google hasn't helped.

 

Edit:

Nevermind, found the manual and it tells all.

One problem I'm having is that if I do a slick version of a SOAR bird, i.e. no stubby ESSS, I select remove pylon but once I fire up the game, the ESSS is back. No matter what I do, the wings come back.

 

Edit: Of course just as I post this, it's working as advertised. Go figure...

Glad its working! Probably had the pylons "empty" instead of removed... ensure to use remove pylon in the mission editor and get the "X" in the pylon armament slots.

Does anyone else have the problem of when landing even on the slightest of un-even ground the hawk' wants to topple to the right?

If you know how to solve this I would be grateful for your advice.

try to check if the wheel brakes are applied by default, and if you have enough room make a rolling land. Hope it helps

Tail wheel should only be unlocked for taxi. If it's unlocked and you touch down, when you lower collective, the lack of torque will swing the tail around. Any kind of slope, locked tailwheel. I might of had a handful of landings with the tailwheel unlocked and those were not on purpose.

Is it supposed to feel like it's always on autopilot?  Doesn't feel like it has any weight or something.  Very odd.

Interesting. In my limited helicopter sim experience, a locked tail wheel (and shyte technique) causes me a lot of ... not really dynamic rollovers, but unintentional reverse-wheelbarrow rolling action that I have to full-armpit abort out of to fix. I'll work on it. Thanks!

Yeah that's the Stability Augmentation System (SAS). The helicopter is very difficult to fly without the SAS channels on.

https://aviation-assets.info/wp-content/uploads/tm1-1520-237-10-operators-manual-for-uh-60al.pdf

In fact, in section 9-29 you can see that while failure of the SAS individually is not a LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE emergency, failures of associated equipment (particularly FPS) are not compatible with mission success. 

Once, back in '06 at Ft. Bragg when I was training a Shadow platoon, someone said that the Blackhawk is the helicopter for helicopter pilots who suck at flying helicopters. 18 years later I'm still laughing at that line.

The -60 is actually more difficult to fly. It's one of the only birds that's full IFR rated. Yes, without SAS, it's a pain. Been on several flights with new pilots and they disengage SAS1, SAS2, trim, FPS, and boost for EP training. Very bumpy ride. It just makes it more difficult. Once you're in the air and have speed, it's fine. Landing is a pain in the ass though.

 

A lot of it might be alignment. If you're in trim when landing and have any cross wind, you'll be landing croaked. You'll hit with lateral movement, due to being in trim, and you're bird will want to correct instantly to the direction you're in trim. That could definitely cause a dynamic roll over. Maintain in trim until just prior to touchdown then brind it to runway alignment.

 

This is all from real aircraft and real life experience. I served as a Blackhawk crewchief for a little over 12 years. I am intimately familiar with the aircraft.

There is no autopilot on the A or L model. Trim is the closest you'll get. The M has semi-coupled autopilot. It'll follow a route and altitude but it's nothing like a fully coupled autopilot you'd find in a fixed wing.

IFR is just a task, and it doesn't make an aircraft more difficult to fly. All it does is show you how poorly you were flying the aircraft before you started your hood training and the tolerances for sloppy flying dropped to about 1/10th. That is from real life experience as well.

Oh yeah Lol I've seen great pilots during VFR/VMC but IFR kicked their ass! If we were doing IFR flights, I usually did my airspace scanning until we got to altitude and the FAA took over for flight following then I came inside and took a nap Lol
