SilentGun Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Wanted to start some conversation about the upcoming DCS CH47! i have a few questions that the community might be able to answer. I'm curious as to what variant are we getting? It seems like the cockpit resembles a CH47F with 5 MFD's or something along those lines (from the type of CDU that can be seen in the video). We can also see that the chin has something mounted on it, a FLIR camera or terrain radar maybe?

SilentGun Posted January 4, 2023 Author Posted January 4, 2023 It could also be a G model as we can see the two controls aft of the radio panels (possibly for a targeting pod?) 4 Link to my Imgur screenshots and motto http://imgur.com/a/Gt7dF One day in DCS...

Beirut Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 I called the CH-47 as the future module weeks ago. Seriously, I want a prize. Some chocolate or something. Maybe a cake. Definitely want that chopper. Looks like great fun. 6 1 Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

I wonder why they chose to model the Italian ICH47 instead of the US version. Either way I think the cockpit looks way better in this version!

I imagine it came down to having access to the airframe and systems. The cockpit does look very nice though, with it being a 2014 and onwards model.

sirrah Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 The Chinook will be an awesome addition to DCS! (proper implementation of troop transport and vehicle sling loading will be mandatory though, but I'm sure ED knows that). A bit grainy, as I took it probably 20 years ago at Bierset (Belgium), but thought I'd share here: 7 System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM - Realsimulator FSSB-R3 ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH

Either way I think the cockpit looks way better in this version! What's the difference, besides the chin pod? Maybe it'll be a simple switch to remove some equipment not present on the US version. I don't think avionics differ that much, it's a utility helo, after all.
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 We already knew a new helicopter was under development by ED, and I think most people hoped for a Blackhawk in one form or another, but a Chinook will likely integrate better with the upcoming Dynamic Campaign. It sure offers a lot of possible versatility: 4 Spoiler Ryzen 9 5900X | 64GB G.Skill TridentZ 3600 | Asus ProArt RTX 4080 Super | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | VR: Varjo Aero Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2 grip on VPForce Rhino with Z-curve extension | Virpil CM3 throttle | Virpil CP2 + 3 | FSSB R3L | VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip | Everything mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS graphics settings
Mogster Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) I’m the sort of person that would buy a DCS Cessna 172. That said it does surprise me we’re seeing a flagship non combat module from ED. I’d have expected it from a 3rd party dev, but not ED. Edited January 6, 2023 by Mogster 2

I find DCS to be not only the best combat flightsim, but the best flightsim period. I simply enjoy flying in DCS more than anything else, combat or not. I'd be happy just to fly the Chinook around and enjoy the experience. Where else will you be able to fly what will likely be an incredible full fidelity reproduction of a great big azz chopper? Even if the civvy sim got a CH-47, there's no way it would compare in quality and nothing even close to the interactivity with the environment that DCS offers. DCS will give the Chinook the big WHOMP - WHOMP - WHOMP -WHOMP -WHOMP -WHOMP -WHOMP -WHOMP it deserves. Edited January 6, 2023 by Beirut 8 Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

H60MTI Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Be surprised how much you can find online. A lot of the bird is still just standard equipment available on other aircraft models. I'd look at the F model 47's and the M model on the 60's and kinda mesh those. You could get a mean sim version of any Regiment bird, MH-47G or MH-60M. 1 Former SSG US Army UH-60A/L/M Crewchief "2 To Fly!"
