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 😁

GPS MODE page is empty for me. I am working with Vanilla mod, I gather you use combat version...

I honestly have no idea. My mod is uninstalled right now due to conflict with 2.9.5. I'm giving you what I know from the actual bird from my time as a crewchief.

I cannot install the "UH Pilots-Miniguns v 2.4 or the "Armed Blackhawk v 4.1.1" over my basic UH-60 Mod. When I install as I understand the tutorials and written instructions, my DCS crashes before even getting to the opening screen.  Part of the problem is the assumption in the tutorials that we understand just where to put the above files. To me, it is unclear whether they just go in the main DCS Beta folder, the MODS folder or whether to open them and put some of the contents in the original UH 60 Folder  or even to cut / paste the UH-60 file from the Armed Blackhawk file and insert it into the DCS Aircraft folder.  So far I have not been able to find a way.
Please, can anyone help with a detailed step-by-step Idiot's tutorial?

I might be getting a bit older so this whole Discord thing is new to me, but I have the UH-60L installed and working, but how can I download the Armed Black Hawk mod? I can only load a blurry screen with a message there are no messages on Discord.

I highly recommend to create a Discord account. The most mod makers are very active on Discord and you will find not only the latest updates there but also a lot of information, hints and helpful discussions. If you click on the link you should get an invitation. 

Btw, I am in the very late forties. 😉

@michelip @Pumba298

The link to the latest version of Armed Blackhawk (now v5.9) is available at the top of the user files page (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3326421/

This link should also work for the UH-60L discord where I more often discuss updates, etc.: https://discord.gg/8erxFUMXZh

I'm intentionally not posting the google drive link here as it changes with each update and I will probably not update the link in this thread as I do with the above.

I figured it out, thanks! I tried some shooting, seems excellent. Right now I'm enjoying myself in the Blackhawk getting in and out of murky weather, VR really mkaes you search for those wires in the mountains 🙂

Been flying it in Afghanistan non stop since the EA release. Blackhawk has been my favorite helicopter, I only fly helos.

Now, could someone direct me how to change the pilot model OR reskin the pilots myself. They are the other thing about the mod that irks me, that plastic flight suit look. Unless impossible, then I'll go right back to minding myself and enjoying everything else 🙂

If you go into your Blackhawk folder in Saved games, go to Textures/Cockpit and there's a zip file called h60PilotTextures.zip which I think is all the textures for the pilots. There are several selectable options in the setup though on missions, about four different colour uniforms.

If you look in the Liveries folder as well under UH-60L it's got some 'Lua' files such as 'Pilot Green Camo' which will give you an idea of maybe adding some new textures/colours to the exisiting files. I'm just guessing this is what you would need, not done any design for DCS, last stuff was MIcrosoft FSX for flight sims :megalol:

I see, I wonder if I can just drop a texture and name a new file name? Idk, I really wish we could just drop the Kiowa or Gazelle pilots in this thing, would be the chefs kiss lol

Might be able to create some new files based on the old ones, renamed as yours then create another 'lua' that points to those files within the h60PilotTextures.zip  if you compare the 'Pilot Green Camo' and 'Pilot Desert Camo' lua files thats's basically what it does. So textures get saved alongside the originals in the zip and probably have to edit another file as well so it shows up in the list to be selected but not sure what one that is yet, just got home after 18 hours at work :lol:

Same question -- are there pilot and gunners we can turn on? 

 

Also, do any of the popular MP servers allow the blackhawk?

You can add a weapons mod to the UH-60L:

No hasn't got that, maybe one day but pretty sure I read on one of the threads there won't be much updating but could be wrong.

@Eisprinzessin - Not via standard DCS troop embarking / disembarking. It does not see the helicopter.

You can do it however with something like the DML Tool box.

With this you can pick troops up and drop them anywhere and also pick them up again. All you do is just use the required modules, no script knowledge required.

When you drop them they will also head off in the direction of the nearest enemy, no waypoints from you required.

You can find every thing here. The beauty of this is that it is not a mod so can be used on line with your squad mates without them having to download anything extra. The "magic" is in the mission you build.
