shagrat Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Like when aircraft gets upgrades that simply change avionics and carried weapons only. The model of the Mi-24 is already in the SIM, we need a cockpit and then "simply" add the avionics and system modelling and develop an EFM... that would be the time and work consuming part. Even as most aerodynamic principles would be the same as in previously developed helicopters the characteristics of the individual model (Hind != Hip) need to be tested, adjusted and refined. Now we could "easily" model the fuel system, electronics and power distribution, lubrication system (oil viscosity, temperature etc.) and may be after 2-3 years development we could be ready for a beta release quickly...? Edit: oops, forgot to mention the gauges! We would also need to model their characteristics as responsiveness, dampening of the compass for example, reaction to pressure loss for engine oil just to mention one algorithm you need to define, and so on. Ah, and the switch logic! What systems depend on each other and what happens iif you switch off/on something in a certain situation...

Devil 505 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Grew up around the HH-65/SA 365Panther. Old man flew it and designed the first prototype here in the states. I wish we could see this beauty in DCS some day. No other helicopter has a more distinct sound than the HH-65. It out performed the Apache back in the day to. Great bird and would be amazing for DCS. Multi purpose from rescue/transport to attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniellegraham Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Can you add Blackhawk or Little bird in the list? I like them very much in the BLACKHAWK DOWN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shagrat Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 ED is currently working on the F/A-18C, as far as I know. Helicopters seem to be delegated to 3rd parties mostly Belsimtek. Belsimtek work on the AH-1G or W currently, look at their section for further details or roadmap...

Haukka81 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 For gameplay point of view i think that tiger, apache or any combat Helo is much better choice than nh-90 or Any transport chopper :P Oculus CV1, Odyssey, Pimax 5k+ (i5 8400, 24gb ddr4 3000mhz, 1080Ti OC ) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilWillis Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Can we now have a wishlist in which we wish there were no more wish lists? It's all getting a little beyond a joke, and it'll make absolutely no difference to the software houses what we vote for here. The stuff they make is subject to far more relevant things - like permission from the IP owners, and the availability of sufficient data to make a simulation accurate and viable. Frankly these threads are getting a little tedious now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny002 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hi, guys! I vote for the DCS AH-64A Apache helicopter because I really enjoy flying it back in 1987/1988 on my old Commodore 64! Thanks! Cheers, Vincent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly these threads are getting a little tedious now. It is not the wishlist threads ... It is all the other threads that are not about a very specific topic that all (ok, 95%) eventually turn into wishlist threads... "I wonder when feature X will be implemented!" ... "Yeah, so that they then could start to work on my dream aircraft Y ...!" ... "Interesting fact about aircraft Z: blah blah blah" ... "Yeah, I wish they would make a Z!" ... "NO! They should make a X!!" ... "How do I Y in my Z?" ... "No idea, but hopefully they make a X - then Z would be easier!" ... etc ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
