I wonder, will the hook slide back along its rail if you point the nose up 🤔

If it doesn't then I'll be classing the sim as "literally unplayable"

Wow, it already drives you nuts only by looking at Wags video? 😲

Seriously yes - it's a terribly distracting thing .. like a mole .... moley moley moley ... Sorry what were you saying about TADS again, Wags?

Helmet hanger hooks like those hanging off the crew station's left "go fast" handle are a type of after-market component and are found on some, but not all of the AH-64 fleet. Request: include a cockpit binding to turn it off, much like the ones that hide the controls when engaged.

Why the obsession with removing the hanger? It looks cool, and adds character. Leave it be. 

There are other animation items that should get much higher priority.

I would like them to also slide 😄

I'd rather have a special option to get them gone instead of a key binding. It's distracting and probably causing unnecessary physics calculations that just eat up FPS.

Also "after-market component" sounds really fancy for what's basically a metal hook. I bet they charge $20 for that thing.

It's literally just a looping animation, no physics calculated.

If the Army bought them, they were likely $200 apiece. 😆

I still remember many of my BII list from when I was a gun chief... there was one part called breech block retaining tool, It was literally a 6"x1/4" steel rod listed at $400

I personally hope for a hook-update, making these hooks move even more and physically correct. 😄 These animations are so next level in the Apache cockpit, the cable of the flashlight is fully animated and moves around, the hook moves, some parts of this AR-15 wobble. Lovely - this cockpit really feels alive and next-gen next-level, and not static at all.

So this is a helmet hook. Interesting. I always thought additional weapons or the pilot´s jacket are hanging there while not flying.

You should see the difference in price for X3 (nuke) parts in the Navy.  I can neither confirm nor deny one of our reactor plants was down for want of a resistor that cost less than a dime at Radio Shack and a few thousand times that as an X3 component.  I can also neither confirm nor deny someone (not me this time) bought a set of two from Radio Shack, threw one overboard, and caused a huge stink when the other one was 'discovered'.

I finally got tired of looking at it and finally found this thread.  At least I know why it's over there driving me slowly crazy.  Can't stand dangly things that move around in my peripheral vision, because I cue on movement and they distract me!

This is a quest every Jedi learning must, to distinguish between a fresh-car-perfume rearview mirror air refresher tree, a dangling helmet-hook and an enemy hidden between bushes with a Stinger even in a complete dark environment....

It is 2025 and I am still trying to work out how to remove it. It is distracting and pointless. 

Would love for the animated hook to be gone or a option to remove it.
