sir_quacksalot Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I was going through the screen shots and noticed that the 58 is prominently displayed in several of them (much to my delight). Anyway, I am a crew chief on that particular aircraft and I just wanted to say that those models are stellar. They even captured how oily they look in real life! There are only a couple of really small things that no one but someone that works on them would notice about the model. One is the mooring rings on the bottom of the aircraft should not be there if the aircraft is going to be flying. Second, there is only one FM antenna above the cockpit (the right antenna is there, the left antenna was removed to install a small GPS antenna that looks more like a little nub). The last two are only very recent changes in the past year or so in the Weapons systems for the ejector racks. They no longer use the explosive type and now use a mechanical type. Anyway, I really love that my aircraft has actually gotten into some game. Maybe if someone feels like it (doubts it) they can go in and make some very minor changes to the model? That's all I got for the moment.

Rhino4 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Should just be the targeting systems (the ball). I work on these helicopters but I'm not in armament so I can't really say.

sir_quacksalot Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 Yes as far as I'm aware the only systems that may still be classified is the MMS (Mast Mounted Sight) Most of the systems are somewhat dated though. I'm fairly certain however that most of the helicopters equipment could be found since there are only three weapon systems. I will have to look at the manuals and see if they are unclassified or not as far as the sight goes. Most of the manuals for the helicopter however are unclassified material since the helicopter is such and old airframe.
Feuerfalke Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I'd love to see this bird modelled in DCS. It would work great together with the Apache-Addon, like it did in Janes Apache. Had a lot of fun lasing targets with my Kiowa for my friends Hellfires. :thumbup: MSI X670E Gaming Plus | AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 64 GB DDR4 | AMD RX 6900 XT | LG 55" @ 4K | Cougar 1000 W | CreativeX G6 | TIR5 | CH HOTAS (with BU0836X-12 Bit) + Crosswind Pedals | Win11 64 HP | StreamDeck XL | 3x TM MFD
Rhino4 Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 As would I. I doubt they'd be able to get the D/R but the D model should be doable as long as the MMS systems are unclass.
