Huey wish list

Loudspeakers playing Wagner anyone?

YES

Is there a way to change the exhaust to a short straight one instead of the angled up one? Our RNZAF UH1H's didnt have the pointy up one.

You can remove the exhaust IR suppressor in mission editor.

Yes, but you lose the flares. I suppose that's probably accurate, although I see plenty of pictures of ASE equipped Hueys without flare canisters, so......?

 

My Huey wish list is for multiplayer.....

Autopilot not being a cheat.

 

Autopilot not being a cheat.

 

Hi everybody, I really like the Huey, it is the aircraft that brought me into DCS World, and I'd like to enjoy it even more. But, is this thread read by the authors of Huey, or is just something that we are talking each other?

 

Anyway, I'd like to see a few things implemented in the heli, the first one is autopilot not being a cheat, but maybe a simplification, or something like that. I've found the topic already mentioned in the forum somewhere, but I want to explain here better. The problem comes up in multiplayer, since many servers disable cheats, so the autopilot doesn't work anymore. I DO KNOW that the real heli doesn't have an autopilot, but IT DOES HAVE a real copilot, that can actually fly it. So, while both pilot and copilot are both alive, autopilot should be available. Currently you are instead left alone to the controls, and something really simple like changing a radio frequency, or any other action on the panels, becomes really difficult, more difficult than in real life. One must use lots of keyboard/joystick mapped commands, vanishing the clickable cockpit.

 

The second wish in the list would be having more zoom on the copilot view, like in the pilot view.

I'm playing devils advocate here, but I can fly the Huey and change frequencies just fine via the clickable cockpit. A well trimmed Huey is more than stable enough to maintain a heading +- a few degrees, maintain altitude +- a few feet, and maintain airspeed +- a few knots, for the few seconds it takes dial up a new freq.

 

That said, it would be nice if AP was usable in MP servers simply to be able to throw it into an orbit around in the AO and man a door gun :gun_rifle:

A well trimmed Huey is more than stable enough

 

I see your point, and you are right in general. But I have a modified joystick without springs, so I don't have a real center like many helis (for both X/Y and rudder), so nothing to trim. Unfortunately I don't have any friction either, so if I leave the joystick it moves, requiring constant control looking at the horizon (real or artificial). Keeping the hand firm and stable without looking is very difficult, it's extremely easy to introduce a small change in attitude, that becomes quickly quite relevant. So, few seconds looking away are enough to loose control.

So to me lots of things are difficult, even looking around, or long operations (adjusting ADF frequency, or just any operation in night fly when you have night goggles, or radio navigation, etc..). I can do them, but it is very demanding, doing things in small steps. Or changing pilot/copilot view, but unfortunately copilot view doesn't have enough zoom (as I pointed in the previous post) so it is also difficult in this way.

As I said, you are almost left alone in the cockpit, but copilot can do a lot of things in real life, not just reading the check list. In this aspect I feel that piloting is more difficult than in real life.

I don't know how this work for the other helis (Mi-8, Gazzelle), but if they actually have autopilot I thing the life is easier in their cockpits.

 

(Besides that, I'm thinking about buying another normal joystick with springs, flying without center is more difficult on planes)

not to read MDC, search landmarks on the F10-Map, navigate properly...

 

From TC1-211, Army Training Manual UH1:

 

"The P will select and announce radio frequencies and will monitor radios and ATC information not monitored by the P*."

 

(P*= Pilot on the Controls, P=Pilot not on the Controls)

 

As long as the Guy on the left seat in DCS can't take his hands off the controls, his minimum task is to fly the chopper while i'm perform his job.

Different pylon locations such as the miniguns and rockets on the same pylon, Apocalypse Now style and this. I'm assuming its from early in development.

My biggest wish?

 

A few words from BST. Looks like their forgot our old lady.

 

Then, in order:

 

- engine limits/damage

- Multicrew for easyer education of rookie pilots.

- Cargo-Cam for VR/ better: Cargo Mirrors

- line drops

- winch/ basket operation

- a co announcing wind direction

- a "hover over Cargo" Soundfile. (Better: a cargo-officer or a Co that announces "forward, backwards, left, right".) just like in RL.

 

Or a longer Rope, so that i can see the cargo when i lean out of the left window in VR.

 

Hope is still alive! But, after all this posts with not the smallest "beep" from BST, i'm with Fox Moulder: "I want to believe"....

 

Sorry for my English.

The M23 Pintle mount for the door gunners M60:

 

 

Able to be selected all by itself as an option.

[Buzzles]

I'd like to see people in the back when you embark troops, in both the first and third person views.

 

I would quite like the missing EGT limitions to be added at some point too.

A clickable radio add on full with vietnam era songs

-DME. An easy one and perfect for Nevada.

One thing I'd like is one more option for AI crewmembers:

Copilot and especially door gunners calling out (visible) missile launches.

I made my own Spotify playlist for that and i get to choose the songs.

[Stratos]

Ok, I think this have been asked before, but also I think we never got a official answer, so here's my question.

 

- Will Belsimtek please give the players the option to erase the hardpoints whilecarrying the door gunners? Vietnam slicks were used this way and they didn't carried those bulky and ugly hardpoints. We can now erase the hardpoints so we know it's possible but Belsimtek put the hardpoints on place again If we have the gunners. Sounds like a small thing to add, and hope Belsimtek can give it a go.

 

The second request is a eye candy one, and is adding a static 3d soldier squad once you're carrying troops on the back. It doesn't need any animation neither for load/unload or while being carried, simple a static bunch of soldiers waiting to be flown somewhere. It has been done by YAP in SF2 and the results are great. Is only eye candy but the immersion will benefit a lot from it, and immersion is what separate great games from sims you will always remember.

 

Couple of pics.

I have missed the great discount on this module in Easter. Is there any way that we can get notified about discounts or do need to we check the website regularly by ourselves?

[BSS_Sniper]

Before getting anymore into cosmetics it would be nice if they'd finally get engine limitations implemented. I'm sure most know that as of now, you can fly the huey as hard as you want without hurting the engine.
