Flying the Cobra in BS2

Ogrex · November 9, 2011

Short clip of some cobra flying in BS2, still trying to correct cockpit position and landing gear.(tips on the landing gear would be great)

The (unfinished)mod replaces the black shark with the Cobra, I also did the Apache but i can't get more than 1 flyable chopper at a time

Looks cool

Is it still Ka-50 flight model?

What changes does your mod do?

Ogrex · November 9, 2011

It changes Allowed weapons, Collision model and appearance, and part of the flight model. Engine power stuff is adjusted, but bank and pitching speed are the same.

Still have to deal with 2 sets of rotors hitting each other

Stratos · November 9, 2011

Wondering If you can do the same with the Hind. Of course landing gear can be a great problem :(

Ogrex · November 10, 2011

Its pretty funny that you ask about the hind and mention gear problems in the same line.

I threw together to stuff to make the hind work, and its landing gear work just fine.

The internal view is in the back seat at knee hight, so you can see unless you go alt-f1.

Still haven't nailed down how to move cockpits

Also the flight model for all of these is unchanged. The file that(i thought) has engine power characteristics is apparently just a holdover and no longer used

If you're right and the Hind works just fine I will purchase BS2 in no time. Can I make some questions?

- Will you share that flyable Hind?

- Is possible to start from the RAMP with all systems off, start all systems, and take off? Retract landing gear, fly the mission, lower the gear and land again?

- Possible to use the weapons? Missiles, rockets and gun using ALT+F1 view?

If you say yes to all those questions I will get the game. Then hope you can move the cockpit so we can use it properly. Awaiting your responses with all my interest!

The default missiles that come on the hind don't work, and i had the wrong pylon/weapon rules for it. I'll see about getting it sorted and will post it in here when i do. Startup functions just like the ka-50, you are still in a ka-50 cockpit on the inside.

So everything works as in the Ka50, including the weapons, rockets and cannon. Right?

Can you confirm that the landing gear works properly?

Stratos · November 14, 2011

Any update Ogrex? I purchased BS2 and i'm updating my weapons delivery, training for some Hind action.

Ogrex · November 14, 2011

Cannon isntt working, it fires but sprays wildly. I had the mi-28's icon and weapons in the mission editor, I moved to fix those and started getting game crashes. Trouble pinning it down.

Gear works

Default weapons don't work (replace with vikhrs)

Blade collision model and flight model = ka-50, i'll post here when I resolve whats causing the crash on loads

hog_driver111th · November 14, 2011

In making this mod, do you just set the humancockpit to yes? Also, with only having 1 flyable, does that mean you lose the Ka-50 if you set something else as flyable?

Stratos · November 14, 2011

Hope you can fix those problems. I don't mind the Mi-28 icon. About weapons, S8 rockets, UBK pods and Vikhr should work properly right?

Solved the problem with the cockpit?

Thinking in the weapons problem, maybe we have a solution.

If the Vikhr works, maybe we can keep the Hind missiles 3d model but shooting the Vikhr. Of course reducing if possible to 2 vikhr for launcher.

Rockets should work well as they are default wepons on the Ka-50 too.

The cannon is maybe a similar thing to the Vikhr, so maybe we can keep the 3d of the Hind gun, using the Ka-50 gun carachteristics.

So, we will use Vikhr launched from the AT-6 launcher and the Hind Yak gun with the specifications of the Ka-50 gun. Think this will overcome the problems as the new flyable Hind will use only weapons totally modelled to be fired by the player.

Think it worh trying it.

BTW solved the cockpit position problem? I'm planning to use this blue cockpit once you're ready! Will look more like the real Hind :)

Added cockpit pics.

Stratos · November 18, 2011

Bump!

Stratos · November 20, 2011

Maybe is too complicated?

Stratos · November 24, 2011

This start to look a bit dead :(

Ogrex · November 25, 2011

i haven't gotten anywhere with the cockpit or hind's gun, it really died for me when i found out the flightmodel wasn't changing at all.

Mod ends up boiling down to a weapons + visual model change

Stratos · November 25, 2011

Ogrex can you please make public what you got so far? Even with BS FM I will like to solve the problem of the cockpit and weapons.

Thanks in advance mate.

Flyable Helicopters Mod, DCSW 1.2.2

Here are my mods that let you control helicopters in DCSW 1.2.x with KA-50 Cockpit

there are a few mods out there but mine are a little more polished with

- correctly working cannons

- custom sounds, textures

- corrected cockpit position etc

To make Ekran/Betty/Rita sounds go to \DCS World\Sounds\Speech\Sound\ENG, copy Ka-50 folder and rename it to Apache (Hind, Cobra - as module appears in ME)

Black Shark 2 module for DCS World needs to be installed and activated for these modules to work

I will update mods to 1.2.4 as i have time, meanwhile you can use attached readme_1.2.4.txt for instructions on how to make all these mods work in DCS World 1.2.4

1. AH-64A Apache / Apache in ME

there are some issues, all inside readme

Enjoy the beast, its real fun
