Much appreciated and phenomenal job! Below is my Vietnam collection of books.  I cannot recommend enough the Gunslingers in action and Aero scouts of Vietnam for this mod.  It has a lot of info that may assist with the finer details.  If you are unable to obtain either of them, I would be more than willing to scan/take some photos of anything you are looking for that might be in these books to aid in the production of this mod.  Me and a few friends have been waiting for someone to pick this up for a long time now. Both books were written by a pilot who Flew the OH6, Cobra, and Huey during the war.  GREAT read and tons of info and pictures. 

Also, the US Infantry Vietnam might be a really good one for AI assets.  Let me know if interested and thanks again for bringing a much-desired Scout and Helo to DCS. You have our full attention and look forward to seeing this...............in Two weeks.

Hey everyone! Kudos for that awesome project!!! THX for investing time and effort into this!

There's one little remark or proposal I'd love to add or request:
While looking at your screenshot from the cockpit something caught my attention and I'd ask if you were able to correct this in a way.
The instrument needles pivot point is marked in an all white dot (see attached pic) . For me (well, that's very subjective) it's like an immersion breaker. Would you find a way to remove the pivot points white mark and just let them needles be white/ phosphorous colour? That'd be just awesome and much closer to the real deal. (see other pic)

TIA and keep up the good work!

Cheers!

Yup, shouldn't be a big deal to fix. The cockpit, like the rest, is still very much a work in progress. But thanks for pointing it out!

Sweet! 
It sure looks like a gem!
Another remark: The cable cutters (aka WSPS "Wire Strike Protection System") were not present on machines serving during Vietnam. Those wer fitted later in the early 80s.

Cheers!

A Mobile towed FARP?

A great idea!

I wonder if this is possible?

I can make farps,

Never tried to make one towed.

I will look into it!

LOL,

Where did you find these pics?

I am friends with  @DrummerNL

Have not chatted with him in ages.

He showed me these screens,

But never released the mods.

Perhaps they are saved for the Kiowa?

Those pics are still cashed on the internet it seems or they would be lost for good.

It's a shame he never released them, I was really looking forward to them.

You guys are crushing the Vietnam asset pack it looks like.  Any way we might be able to see some more of the NVA assets, particularly the soldiers we can add to the Marianas when you release this?  The boys and I only fly in VR and cannot wait for these assets and OH-6 to come out.  Will gladly donate some money your way if you wind up accepting that.

Eight Ball, and Tobi wow.

Very refreshing material.

I must say those Vietnam assets look stunning as all your contributions. Looking forward to their release.

Edit for thanks to Tobi also 🫡

Guys, this looks truly outstanding!!! I'm not sure I've been this excited about a new "module". We have a serious lack of little fun helicopters in DCS. Something you can throw around between the trees! Absolutely can't wait.

Could I ask, is there a virtual pilot body planned? And with regards to the flight model - is this built from the ground up or is it limited in some way by DCS's code as it's a mod? How close to the real thing would we expect it to handle? Huey being a benchmark in terms of a realistic FM, would this be in the same ballpark? 

Many Thanks! Please keep up the great work! Can't wait to make some videos with this 🙂

Working on materials

Just out of curiosity, where are you digging up the content for the 3D model/cockpit?  Any chance you will be messing with photogrammetry from a museum piece? If you are in Texas, I believe there are some around.
