Yet another Blackhawk

[alpine dove]

What's better than one blackhawk? Two, obviously! First draft of painting today; not representative of final quality.

[limpid whale]

Is this dependent on the first Blackhawk mod?

[alpine dove]

Currently yes, by maybe not by the time I release it.

[limpid whale]

Ok, either way this is awesome:)

[severe bloom]

Oh wow rly nice looking! 👍

[dusk kiln]

I’m unable to check the game, has this been pushed to the ‘Workshop’ as of now?

[slender hull]

Nice work @alpine dove your projects always look good wished we got the OH-6 but hey good work anyways

[flat shadow]

Does it work with the animation or Revive mods?

[sharp narwhal]

I have a feeling not until the vanilla medical things drop

[flat shadow]

Very exciting time for our bohemian universe.

[merry mauve]

@alpine dove I love it bro 🥹

What’s the estimate on release?

[celest ravine]

Bohemia needs to drop the medical pack

[alpine dove]

Correct.

[alpine dove]

There is no estimate

[graceful shore]

awesome

[merry mauve]

Is it close?

[sharp narwhal]

Not really, like yea we're getting new medical stuff in milestone 1 but the main medical update won't be until milestone 2

[dusk kiln]

@indigo helm

[indigo helm]

Pretty spot on for a med bird

Are litters a possibility on this version or is it limited by the game?

[alpine dove]

Currently I put the litter tray as a bench; it's just somewhere to sit. But once the medical features are released in an upcoming update then I will integrate with those features. I guess may also be possible to put in a litter hoist.

[indigo helm]

Would be sick for sure. The medical system is for sure the hindrance but on the litters is it possible to actually lay down in them to mimic a Medevac I’m not spun up on all the mod intricacies so idk how hard that would be

[alpine dove]

Maybe yes, because I seem to remember seeing doctor/patient animations in the game files already.

or I can just make lying down animation I guess.

[low drum]

[indigo helm]

Aight sick boss keep up the good work shit looks fire

[mystic widget]

Will the people be able to lay on a stretcher or what

[blazing grove]

Is this out yet?

[merry mauve]

Not yet

[low lion]

So many rivets any plans on smoothing it out

[alpine dove]

Real thing has even more rivets

[low lion]

Jesus

[nocturne geode]

Nice model!

[alpine dove]

I agree, can't take credit for it though; Hum3D studio made it. I just make an optimized topology and paint it.

[merry mauve]

Are you going to drop more photos of it as time progresses?

[wary hatch]

I’ve noticed using the (I believe this mod) Enable revive mod. There a function that sometimes appears on players bodies that says “load into vehicle”. I wonder if you could somehow incorporate that into getting players to “lay” down on the litters.

Anyways I know it’s a lot I hopes and dreams. But one day it will be possible.

[hazy willow]

no such thing in my mod

[low lion]

Yeah it's helions that has the lay in vehicle stuff I believe he is trying to implement a drag feature

[wary hatch]

My bad bacon. I thought it was your mod. Good to know that it’s helions.

Well none the less. Hopefully they could implement that in with this medivac bird

[low lion]

That might be his idea behind it idk he has an enf showcase if you'd like to ask

[gusty cosmos]

So there is no progress?

[celest ravine]

Is the Blackhawk ever going to get some damage when crashing?

[mystic widget]

What?

[celest ravine]

Like is ever going to explode when crashing towards something

[leaden fable]

?

[hazy willow]

he's asking about collision damage for the vehicle

[leaden fable]

why is he asking here, considering this mod (and model) is not released publicly is what i am wondering

[hazy willow]

probs just wondering about features it will come with if it ever comes out

a heli that takes collision damage would be very welcome

[leaden fable]

the ever part confused me, but whatever, weird phrasing and question

[hazy willow]

oh you're right, kinda makes it feel like it's already out

[celest ravine]

My bad for entering question in wrong thread. I wanted to ask about helis in general.

[alpine dove]

Not at all finished; but looking sexy I must say.

[fervent mica]

I have Questions!

[low lion]

God damn

[hazy willow]

I would be inclined to make at least a chunk of them work

as in the ones that are appropriate for gameplay

[low lion]

Make one of the red ones make the helicopter explode

[fervent mica]

Please!!! Bacon

[trim mortar]

Make every button make the helicopter explode

[fervent mica]

Late April Fools joke

Being able to start the helicopter via interaction would solidify my commitment to arma that much more ngl

The panels and buttons are especially important to aviation and its processes

[hazy willow]

only if they make satisfying clicking noises

[alpine dove]

For sure the autopilot, and the panel marked "STORES JETTISON". Would also be nice to have something EARSesque for the radio.

[low lion]

I can't remember if the redline Blackhawk had cabin lights or just for the pilots but that could be good for the actual passenger area especially if it's a medical helo

[fervent mica]

It comes with cabin lights, and used to light up passenger cabin but not anymore

[icy storm]

The current version of the redline Blackhawk has green overhead cockpit lights. It used to have cabin lights but they changed it.

[alpine dove]

Got the MH6 flying pretty much like a helicopter from GTA. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

[slender hull]

Both

[flat shadow]

Outstanding, will it taxi?

[fervent mica]

Unrealistic but operable which is good by standard

[slow jasper]

What aspect make you think of gta ?

[low lion]

It will be alot easier for people to fly tho

[alpine dove]

Xbox users, what do you think of default control scheme for helicopters? Is is basically unusable to you, as it is to me? Or you like it?

I feel like pitch/roll should be on Left Stick, view on right stick, triggers for anti-torque pedals.

[still hearth]

it’s not too bad

[dusk kiln]

So, much similar to MSFS?

[past iron]

Its not to bad i like it alot honestly maybe its cause im used to war thunder but i like it

[sick pivot]

Default bindings feel like flying helicopters in battlefield which I like

[true spade]

I like the default controls. I’ve mastered it a changing it up will only make it confusing for players who already fly helicopters to have to Relearn everything.

[graceful shore]

Same

[fervent mica]

Easy doesn't mean better. Flying is supposed to be difficult yet rewarding.

[fervent mica]

People's will grow complacent on helicopter flight mechanics especially when BI drops their standardized flight model/ physics

[fervent mica]

The default way is easier to control the weight of the aircraft imho. It allows for a more comfortable flight aspect. Although if possible could there be a flight layout that can be switched between?

If we can have a right trigger toggle to control only the head for rotation/view purposes, that would greatly improve the visual capabilities of xbox players in aircraft

(Note: I do apologize for my ramblings. I enjoy aviation to a fault sometimes, but I'll wear that jacket. You guys make it enjoyable)

[alpine dove]

Yea, I will make it such that you can assign controls in the control screen (assuming you even do that on Xbox for existing controls)?

[fervent mica]

No rebinding as of yet, but i was wondering if there could be a side toggle in game or in settings to change the way one's flight control scheme

[merry mauve]

I would love that

[leaden fable]

that would be on BI side

[trail ridge]

That would be amazing and make so many more manoeuvres easier to do but Mack new one’s completely possible with full control of the yaw

[alpine dove]

Considering Xbox users don't have rebinding options, I think this makes the most sense. This way, if someone has a joystick for their Xbox that they purchased for playing MSFS, it would hopefully be compatible.

[worldly pagoda]

I think you should try a war thunder esc control

[fervent mica]

Query

Sorry disregard

[merry mauve]

Can we get more photos of the medevac heli for more insight into the build

[alpine dove]

In UH-60L, unlike UH-60M and later, the medevac equipment is removable. So there can be different variants; medevac, cargo, troop transport etc.

[native jolt]

That looks really good👍

[fervent mica]

Will the electronic navigation system will be optimized to be viewable in 1st person with ease?

[alpine dove]

Yes, all the cockpit markings use high resolution decals; i.e. you get perfectly crisp text like in MSFS cockpits

[fervent mica]

Word! May i ask what you plan to do with the internal systems to the blackhawk or will it be similar functionality to the current blackhawk

Including, is it possible to enable/utilize the intercommunication system?

[wicked hornet]

The seats gonna be fixed in this and not sat backwards on it?

[merry mauve]

There’s no gunner seats on that med heli

[wicked hornet]

Apparently its the seat that’s broke and not the gun

[alpine dove]

Not responding because I don't know WTF you guys are talking about

[merry mauve]

So basically on the uh60 from red line .. the gunner seats with the gun the character faces backwards in the seat while the arms are backwards holding onto the gun.. is what he’s referring to

[alpine dove]

Ok, so I don't know anything about the Red line UH-60. But I will not make the arms go backwards... now no more stupid questions please.

[frail ridge]

Wasn't a stupid question. Wording was poor but they were asking if yours would have the same issues as existing air assets.

Which you answered in some way.

[burnt trench]

Have you tested/played with a pip live map system for the nav?!? Not sure if anyone has. Kinda like arma 3 base GPS feature for soldiers

[alpine dove]

It's UH-60L & this game is set in 1989. There are no moving maps or GPS. The nav is a HSI/CDI driven by simple TACAN/VOR radios.

[alpine dove]

Found this great resource with every single stencil on the UH-60; PAINTING AND MARKING OF ARMY AIRCRAFT https://iwrc.uni.edu/sites/default/files/TM 1-1500-345-23.pdf . Now I just have to put all 215 of them on the model 😅

[merry mauve]

That’s hot

[indigo helm]

Man pulling out the TM’s😂 pop off ole son

[alpine dove]

I'm making this thing. Lay 960 mines, get 960 teamkills lolololl.

[vestal knoll]

Yes

[wicked hornet]

@merry mauve @acoustic moss oh boy

[merry mauve]

[acoustic moss]

Lol

[hazy willow]

more like lay 87 and get kicked for flooding network

[coarse dune]

Facts.

[alpine dove]

fuck off SugarDabs. Not like you have any clue WTF you're talking about.

[trim mortar]

Arma discord drama?

[alpine dove]

No drama here mate.

[coarse dune]

First ever interaction with you, and instantaneous insult? Yikes man, I just agreed it would definitely cause the server to overload lol

[coarse dune]

No clue honestly, First time talking to him directly. Ever. 💀

[coarse dune]

969???

[amber aurora]

Bro is sperging out

[alpine dove]

My apologies. My server doesn't give a fuck.

[icy storm]

Oh good heavens

[amber aurora]

Detonate the mines

[slender hull]

You got a server up 👀

But when you do make all these mods you been working on like the Blackhawk and the ship are you going to make a server for everyone to play on using your mods?

@alpine dove

[leaden fable]

@coarse dune + @alpine dove can you please chill and behave or do i need to get you some infractions?

[alpine dove]

Yes

[old sparrow]

Ah yes, the flying war crime. I love the volcano... Oh! You can make it a double war crime and attach it to the HH-60L you're developing. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been done yet, so it's not a war crime the first time.

[worldly pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/full-metal-jacket-holy-jesus-what-is-that-meme-funny-gif-15283730

My inner dyslexia speaking here.

[merry mauve]

Is it out yet

[worldly pagoda]

no

[old moat]

Is this going to be finished soon

[worldly pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/good-omens-david-tennant-how-kind-gif-14312333

[alpine dove]

No. It's first priority is as a product for MSFS not a Reforger mod. But right now MSFS helicopter support is barely more than Reforgers... so I work on other projects for now. Maybe 2024

[alpine dove]

@leaden fable now I'm really curious wtf these dudes are talking about

[leaden fable]

some offtopic gif spam…

[coarse dune]

Just a question is this mod ever gonna be released or like what’s happening with it coz I haven’t heard anything from this in ages

[leaden fable]
