OhNoMyHookBroke Posted February 10 Posted February 10 After seeing a CH-47F cockpit video, I realized that the instrument panel we have in the DCS CH-47F is incorrectly modeled. The real CH-47F's instrument panel has a curve on it, and is also longer. Here's a picture of the DCS CH-47F vs a real-life CH-47F: null I believe this is because the Chinook that was originally announced was the ICH-47F, the Italian Chinook based off of the Foxtrot, but with more radios and equipment that's dedicated more towards SAR/CSAR. Also, the air vent control lever on the outboard side has nothing to do with whether it's curved or not. Here's a picture of a CH-47F without the air vent control lever, which you can tell is the exact same: (Kind of hard to see, sorry) If more pictures are necessary, I can provide.
Tholozor Posted February 10 Posted February 10 I'm pretty sure that's a side-effect of whatever lens is being used in that picture, other pictures of U.S. Army CH-47Fs clearly show the panels are flat, and match what we have in DCS. 1 REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/

No haha, this You see how it's curved?
OhNoMyHookBroke Posted February 11 Author Posted February 11 And by instrument panel, I mean the "backboard". You can see how it goes downwards and then curves. Sorry if I can't explain it well.
Tholozor Posted February 11 Posted February 11 (edited) Ah, yes I see that part you're referring too now (that curved bit off the edge of the panel). The cockpit diagrams in the IRL -10 manual support the current design (being straight all the way down), but IRL imagery appears to be different. MH-47G models seem to have the straight design (this one specifically 05-03762): Edited February 11 by Tholozor REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/
