Fully civilian variant / remove cockpit weapon controls

[Havner]

With the option to remove external hardpoints and/or with an option of "civilian plane" to have a fully civilian variant.

Not only to remove the hardpoints and the sight as it is now but to remove all the other cockpit controls related to weapons. Basically have a variant as would be shipped to a civilian buyer.

I don't think this will happen, unless the Hip receives a general (much needed and wished for by me) overhaul.

Would be nice though to have a proper civilan version.

You're probably right. But still posting this in case they ever do such an overhaul which I also think this module deserves the most.

If they do, maybe this forum will be a base for ideas for new things. And hopefully this post will get noticed.

I would really like a Hip v2. That would upgrade the Hip to the level of Hind. Would gladly pay for such an update.

Agreed. A by current DCS standards overhauled Hip would be my wet dream……

I'd also appreciate a civilian/demilitarised variant, not just for roleplaying/immersion, but because the pilot-navigator's view would be improved

Honestly, just being able to remove that big weapons sytems box in front of the CoPilot (last image above) would be amazing.  That's what I came to post here as my own wishlist item, but you're on the same point as myself.  I love flying the hip in civilian operations and that thing is just a huge view obstruction if you don't need it.
