Flyable Helicopters Mod, DCSW 1.2.2

[Stratos]

yeh, but without the missiles and the pits are a bit misplaced.

fun to fly around with the gun but I can't wait for a full on DCS

attack / recon helo module.

spud

 

Everything worked fine IIRC in older patches. Wondering If one of the experts can try to reactivate the rockets and Hellfires and put the cockpit back in place.

when I try to shoot the cannon in either the Hind, Apache or Cobra, the game crashes, what did I do wrong, I copy and pasted all the files as instructed.

[assafm25]

Any one know if there is a bell212 on dcs?

[Stratos]

How can I copy the controls from the Ka50 to the flyable Hind please? When I enter the chopper not a single control works.

[clearskies]

Hey all! So I read the this thread from beginning to end and wow Im impressed at the work Aussieboy did and everyone else!

 

i installed the original file Apache_A, without reading of course and now the game doesnt work. Im going to remove them now.

 

any luck to get it to work with the latest update?

[Stratos]

You can enter the Mi24, but is not possible to control, fire or even exit the mission as not a single button work.

[fatkid1]

Help

 

Hey guys. First post but LONG time lurker.

 

So, it seems as though myself, like a million others, would love to fly and fight the Mi-24. I do understand that I'd still have the KA-50, avionics, etc. Basically everything but the "apperance" of the Hind as I understand (except there is a way to use the Hind specific ATGMs?).

 

So bare with me here, as I'm far from computer literate and was wondering if you guys could answer some questions/help me out in general.

 

1.)As I understand it, as per today's date, is the Hind just not an option to fly right now? Or is it flyable but I'd have to roll back to version 1.2.7?

 

2.) If that is the case, how would I go about rolling the game back to that version? Is it possible to only roll back certain things while retaining things like my DCS World current campaigns, statistics, etc.

 

Again, I'm sorry for asking for what has surely been asked a million times. I did quite a bit of searching, saw the readme, etc but its basically Greek to me.

 

In essence, I'd like to be able to fly and fight that list of helos but I don't even know where to start. Most importantly Im really scared of screwing up or altering files in a way that I can't/dont have the expertise to fix.

 

Is it possible to make a simple copy of certain files, then I can just swtich back and forth with ease.

 

So in a nutshell:

 

I have DCS World, BS2, and A-10C.

 

In laymans terms, how can I get into the cockpit of these other helos and fight them (specifically the Hind)?

 

Thanks ahead of time. I'll be eternally grateful for anyone that can help out a dummy like me!

I just tried to install your AH-64A Apache and dcs failed to start all together. Can you provide a fix for that? I'm running the latest version.

[SkateZilla]

Alot of these mods are for OLD OLD OLD OLDER Versions of DCSW.

 

Please Look at DATES of some of these threads,

 

RaptorSim, You seem to be posting questions in threads that are A YEAR+ Old.

I'm quite aware of the age difference. I also noticed the issue comes from a fault in the coding of the gun configure file. Without the file the game starts and runs fine just the gun on the Apache doesn't fire.

Anyone got the Apache and Longbow working on the last patch??

 

Yes I have, once I fix the positioning of the Ka-50 Cockpit and the issue with the aircraft_gun_mounts.lua I will be zipping up the new Version and posting it up onto the thread.

Apache Longbow or AH-64D

 

I was able to get the AH-64D & A working to a certain point with this current Version of DCS world. now the Only issue I'm having is with the Loading of Inputs for some odd reason the inputs are defaulting to the SU-25 input commands. I have loaded the KA-50 inputs into the aircraft mod folder like the cockpit and such. it anyone can assist me with this I'd be much grateful.

 

Below is the Entry code for said inputs:

 

InputProfiles =

{

["AH-64D"] = current_mod_path .. '/input/AH-64D',

["AH-64A_easy"] = current_mod_path .. '/input/AH-64D_easy',

},

 

I was thinking that the final part of the LUA gives the input calls in here "{self_ID,'Ka50'}", and I know the "KA50" calls to the Binary call. Just thinking is serves 2 purposes.

 

Below is the final part of the Entry:

 

make_flyable('AH-64D',current_mod_path..'/Cockpit/Scripts/',{self_ID,'Ka50'}, current_mod_path..'/AH-64D.lua', current_mod_path..'/comm.lua')--make_flyable(obj_name,optional_cockpit path,optional_fm = {mod_of_fm_origin,dll_with_fm})

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

plugin_done()-- finish declaration , clear temporal data

 

I know that the original code was VERY OLD, but I updated it to the current Version of DCS World.

Working Apahe AH-64A Version For DCS V1.2.16.39472

 

This is a working version of the AH-64A Apache helicopter. The mod looks great and runs awesome. The Helicopter is a Pro Cockpit using the KA-50 Sim inputs to start, fly said helicopter. Few things to keep in mind the only bug I've found is at spawn the landing gear and elevation flutters. This is caused by the Apache not having retractable Gear. The fluttering is fixed once the Helicopter and fully started. Retract the landing gear and the fluttering stops. So with that is mind before you spawn in don't overload the Helicopter in the mission planner. Use one of the lighter defaults and then add extras to the chopper. Enjoy and you are free to PM me any questions.

As of July 4th, 2015 Patch Notes: Updated the Special Options for the AH-64A before the Options weren't correct and the Pages were overlapping. This effected the Auto rudder and other Special Option a player could have selected. This has now been fixed.

 

 

After some hard work I finally got the AH-64A Apache working. I used the Ka-50 Cockpit since this is a Mod. Works great, but I still need to log some hours flying this new bird as I'm a bit rusty. Not to mention its a bit harder to fly then the KA-50. I also need to adjust my TrackIR profile. The one I have currently is a bit crazy......

Unfortunately older flyable-chopper mods do not work in 1.5 nor in 2.0 ?

 

Do you know why ?

I would wager it's due to file restructuring. I'll take a crack and see if I can get it working

[Dingo_Bob]

they do work but can be buggy, also since 1.5 the AI models now have a hard set cockpit that can't be removed for the human one so you get a duplicate cockpit the human one and the low res AI one,

 

similar with flyable plane mods, these can be corrected slightly by moving the pit location up down or forwards, but in the helo's you are limited by the rotor blades height and them intersecting the roof of the pit if you move it up

That would be fantastic!

Great news, good luck with your work.

[Valinor]

That's good news indeed :)

Has anyone been able to mod the AI helicopters in the new DCS world??
