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

[Prismo]

Hello. I'm trying to get the fuel probe on skins. is there anything I need to do? I've even downloaded the SOAR weathered livery that appears to have the fuel probe on it but when I load it in game it does not appear. Any ides?

[H60MTI]

I have yet to see it with a fuel probe. Would really like to see that since Pedro birds and SOAR birds have them...

Under Instant action, the mission "Air-to-Air refueling" the heli starts with a fuel probe.

 

I tried matching the settings in mission editor, but I'm very new, and couldn't seem to find any indication of how to add a fuel probe.

[Jenrick]

In the mission editor select your 60, and in the far right tab "aircraft special properties" or something similar, there's a check box for the probe.

Does anyone have the paintkit template?

[H60MTI]

Clicking the Enable Fuel Probe does actually add it to the aircraft though.

I was unable to use create fast mission due to invalid stoi argument. Opened a ticket and it tutns out it was caused by the MH-60R mod

[mac22]

just wondering if anyone is using the mod with the rhino FFB stick?

if yes you how are you using it with force trim? (I seem to be able to get it working just by enabling the force trim in the DCS options - doesn't feel perfect but works (hardware force trim enabled in the rhino software just puts the helicopter into nose down (even full stick back))!

Install Question-

The readme says to unzip the file and drop the mod into the saved game file. When I unzip the latest release the parent folder is UH-60L . No Mod folder or aircraft folder. I tried installing the UH-60L folder into the save game folder and it didn't work. Shouldn't the UH-60L folder reside in aircraft folder in a Mods folder? and then install the mod folder into the saved game folder?

I want to be sure I've installed it correctly. By adding the UH-60L to an aircraft folder inside a Mods folder the install works. Sorry, I'm new to adding mods and the other mods I have installed had that file structure within the zipped original mod download.

Am I installing the mod correctly?

It should look something like this:  X:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft\UH-60L

That's how I now have it installed. I was using OVGME to install/deinstall the mod and so I had to add the correct folder structure.

It threw me that the unzipped Mod is just the UH-60L folder and the instructions for install didn't specify that it needed to go in the aircraft folder in the Mods folder under saved games.

I guess when the readme said to drop the UH-60L folder into the saved game file folder that it was understood that it had to be installed under aircraft in the Mods folder.

[heloguy]

If it's working, then you installed it correctly.  If you don't have it installed correctly, you will not see it in the game.

Small suggestion for manual: upon hidding the manual, remember activa page. Next time the user displays manual, diaplay same page. Do not persist on disk.

I also have questions and remarks:

1. with INC/DEC it is possible to select waypoints in range [0-69]. However if the keypad is used it is possible to enter [0-99]. Why?

2. Is it possible to define multiple flightplans?

3. HSI allowes to select heading which is displayed in upper right numeric display. Is this  counter mechanical only and can it get the value from doppler nav system?

4. In WP TGT diaplay of AN/ASN-129B, is it possible to reset selected waypoint in second row? E.g. I wish to jump straight to position 3 in second raw.

5. When entering waypoint with long name, e.g. 20-30 chars, the display will overflow and appear merged with other panel to the right.

6. Is automatic waypoint switching possible (e.g. ABRIS/Rubikon in Ka-50)

Are The HUD Brightness Controls Enabled In the Mod?

[firefox121]

I bought F4 phamtom and with this new update uh-60l  I can't start DCS, the MH-60R module works without problem.

Here is my log , looking for help

Same here.

It appears the base UH-60L is still funcational with the latest DCS build, for those using the Armed Blackhawk submod an update is required (v5.8) and has just been released. Please see the UH-60L discord for the link: https://discord.com/channels/776815105810759701/1037713824633077842/1243031477537603665

it 100% does place it on the bird...it also comes with the c130j asset that you can place on the map to actually aar. I have tanked the uh60 in flight.

thats kinda of weird mh60 should break it. it broke mine as well as most others. i wonder why you were ok

I meant doesn't. Totally messed that one up Lol I haven't tried it on a regular UH-60, just the MH for the SOAR look. It's kinda key on all MH's minus the DAP.

1. The Inc/Dec on the GPS or the collective? On the real bird, those last waypoints are used for target store if you're flying around and need to record the MFRS for later. 

2. No. It's only 1 flight plan. Loaded via DTM or manually entered into the GPS.

3. It's analog only. On the "Mode Select" panel, you can choose which system to get the info from. GPS, VOR, ADF.

4. Don't know 

5. Usually waypoint names are short, sweet and to the point. WP1, WP2, LZ, etc...

6. No. You have to "Plus Up" at each waypoint. Usually the pilot not on the controls does it.

I did not use the collective, I meant the ANS-128B (navigation console in the middle)

Yes, however, in this case I implemented in MOD the entry of nearest place for better SA. Player can still override. Still text spilling over is a likely a bug of the mod. I have to remember to report this.

[H60MTI]

So, when you hit TGT STR, target store, on the GPS it stores the grid coordinates. It starts at 99 and works it way down. It does this so it doesn't run the risk of overriding your flight plan.

Gotcha. Yeah, that sounds like a bug.

 

For good info, Google TM 1-1520-237-10. That is the operators manual for the Blackhawk. It is the A/L model -10. It's older, but released to the public. That'll help out and go over EVERYTHING you need to know, minus CMWS. That's not in there.

Also, we never called it the ASN-128. We just called it the GPS
