CH-47 Chinook

[hidden steeple]

Just splitting the thread from the british vehicles pack to here.

Changes:
Added LODS
Added cargo varient

[knotty jay]

WOOOOOO!

[daring cobalt]

Yeahhhhh

[hidden steeple]

It's taking it's time to upload.

[daring cobalt]

Well worth the wait

[tardy kernel]

Will the cargo variant be able to hold any vehicles? I tried to get a buggy into the transport variant. It was a bit of a nightmare mess Xd

[hidden steeple]

The cargo is purely for logistics in conflict

[tardy kernel]

Sound👍

[weary vessel]

would be cool to be able to spawn the MRZR out of it

[hidden steeple]

So far it would cause too many issues without being able to tie it down

[weary vessel]

i was think more like a menu like the vehicle spawn system in conflict

[hidden steeple]

Well now that you can haul cargo you can just build a vehicle station

[zenith minnow]

It can carry supplies in conflict now?

Any chance of slingloading vehicles?

[hidden steeple]

Working in it, no promises

[livid turret]

What dose LODS mean

Thank you and your modding partners for your contributions to the community. ♥️

[opaque vessel]

This is awesome was gonna ask for the supply variant really appreciate your work on these vehicles 👍

[hard maple]

Please excuse my potato cam (still don’t know how to record on PC) but when the chinook tilts back in 3rd person it does this

[nova ocean]

Will we ever get the MH-47 variant for this or in other words the best one

Also strider same for the HH-60 pavehawk or the MH-53 would be amazing

[weary vessel]

i’m sure someone could pay him to do it, not sure if a whole new model would be required or if he could just add the MH/HH upgrades on the existing chinook and blackhawk.

[crystal fern]

Another door gun and maybe a ramp .50 would complete this baby.

[opal rock]

I think you’re thinking of the HC2 variant of the chinook

[upper zodiac]

So this chinook cargo variant basically just also has a supply crate style storage added to it to help with supply transfer/set up (which will help when fortifications are added to vanilla)

[zenith minnow]

fortifications ARE in vanilla

[upper zodiac]

Oh word? I didn’t know they updated it to where you could build wherever like they mentioned

[zenith minnow]

You can grab a supply truck and build a super FOB god knows where
Pick a spot and start placing stuff

[crystal fern]

They come with 2 door guns normally. The ramp gun is sort of a either they have it or they don’t.

[stoic moat]

@hidden steeple you should look into the scaling of this helicopter, it’s very small in comparison to what it is IRL

other than that it’s super well done, maybe add a rear door gunner (modern variant) would be ammmaazzzinngg

[hidden steeple]

How much smaller?

[ocean steeple]

It’s pretty accurate tbh

[boreal flicker]

Honestly I think this mod is perfect besides the rear door gun missing ahaha and the balance went landing but I still love this HELICOPTER!!!!!! 🥹

[timber garden]

A rear door would be sweet but I do be missing when it could auto flip itself 😅

[atomic galleon]

a modern navy spec Ops version that can float and maybe load rhib inside and deploy directly in the water???

[crystal stump]

That's the MH-47G. He is not adding any other variants of the chinook for now

[crystal fern]

All CH-47s float sort of.. and they all can deploy rhibs very easily. We already have a black variant too so I’m not really sure why this keeps getting brought up.

[uncut sphinx]

The RHIBs dont fit in the chinook anyways (in-game)

[frank swift]

hi

[nimble berry]

Vehicles just fall through when you try to fly with them. I've built a ramp & jumped a jeep into a Chinook. It just falls through the bottom.

[granite valve]

I think everyone that mentions it wants the refuelling arm

[crystal fern]

Personally I’d rather the devs do something they’d prefer to work on and that we would actually benefit from. Other than to continuously ask them add something that would serve no purpose other than cosmetic. Along with the fact one of the devs have also been stated that they have no plans to make a new model.

[crystal fern]

Found this floating around does the CH-47 have a ramp gun now??? I tried placing a .50 down to see if that’s how it was done. Unfortunately it didn’t work..

[weary vessel]

looks like someone just spawned in a gun emplacement with gm

[crystal fern]

Yeah I tried this it didn’t work. Tbh it’s probably a static picture.

[torn spire]

It's my picture, I just added the ramp gun in for the picture. Love the Chinook, good job @hidden steeple

[crystal fern]

How did you get you guy to sit like that?

I tried with both the .50 and the 60 and I just stand half way through the floor.

[torn spire]

For a picture, give him something to stand/sit on then adjust it. It does looks really good when they are standing on the ramp with the rear gun.

[crystal fern]

Thank you!!

[crystal fern]

Any news on this baby?

[rotund rampart]

Someone could try adding the gun emplacement via slot and offset on the ramp using the 50 tripod. I don't do vehicles as there are pros doing them, but I would assume this may be possible.

[hidden steeple]

I can try to do it
My biggest reason to avoid is that the ramp does not have a middle point setting

[hidden steeple]

Changes:
Added Tail Gun

[weary vessel]

is the update still uploading? also saw an update for your rhib, what was changed there?

nvm i see the changes for the rhib in feedback. 👍

[hidden steeple]

Just finished uploading

[weary vessel]

yeah when the ramp is up the 50. is in the middle of the helicopter and when ramp is down the 50. gos into the roof.

[hidden steeple]

Hmm It seems to only do that when spawned by game master
I'll see what I can do to fix it

[hidden steeple]

I can't fix it for some reason :/

[upper zodiac]

We’ll call him Gunter

[tidal sierra]

Damn major oof. Is there anywhere u can like take the entity and like weld it to the surface or would tht bug out the heli?

[hidden steeple]

That's what I have done
It works when I place it in a map in the tools but as soon as GM places it, it breaks

[tidal sierra]

Well shit idk too much about modding

Does it maybe have to do something with the code?

Idk too much about modding but at least ur out here trying to fix previous mods

[frank swift]

@lilac marsh @midnight reef @lilac yacht

[hidden steeple]

It sadly does not work at the moment and I might have to remove it because I cannot find a fix.

[frank swift]

noooooooo i was hype about that

[frank swift]

have you tried to use what you did for the stryker on there make it like a turret with a static ramp down? just a question bc idk what you have done to the chinook

[hidden steeple]

The issue is not really with the ramp, more with the turret oddly offsetting into the center

[frank swift]

so it’s like an offset yet in the center? that sounds confusing, i’m not sure i’m no modder not even a coder but id try to copy the stryker system without the crows and move it over

[rotund rampart]

The animation bone rotation for the door moving, is that related to the heli root? Is the gun offset from the door bone or the heli bone? I am just thinking off how my belt fed had to have the optics slot as a child of the top cover or it moved with the gun itself and not the topcover when up for reload.

[hidden steeple]

The gun moves properly with the rear door.
When I place the helicopter down in the tools it works fine.
When I place it down in game master it breaks

[rotund rampart]

Generic Vs Game Entity? Not sure why it would be different

[queen girder]

@hidden steeple sorry for the @ but I really was curious. Does the engine allow people to stand in the Chinook at this time, if it does, do you think you could implement a system like that somewhere down the road as I know you're busy

[hidden steeple]

It does not and It's not something I can do at this time

[obsidian sand]

Over water with a good pilot you can heli-cast a full load.

[steel hedge]

The 50cal is under the chinook istead of on the ramp

[weak thistle]

The fifty on the ramp makes it hard to get in / out

[boreal flicker]

Would be better if you could just want through it tbh

[brazen lagoon]

I'll be honest it'd probably be better off with a separate variant with the ramp gun

[daring cobalt]

Same here, it’s been called the ball turret by my guys

[steel hedge]

Yeah

[trim heron]

Agreed

[hidden steeple]

I'm just going to remove it for now sadly

[snow lynx]

It is 100% uselles for now but thank you a lot for trying !!!!!

[rotund rampart]

What's useless?

[hidden steeple]

The ramp gun

[snow lynx]

Didnt wanted to look stupid saying that Aussiemerc, it is true that unfortunatly the ramp gun is more a problem for getting into the heli now..

[stoic stag]

hmm

[rotund rampart]

Ahh okie doke, didn't know if you meant the heli overall or not.

[hidden steeple]

I have removed it now anyway

[granite valve]

I think something cool to add if purely for looks would be to add a American flag on the roof inside the chinook

[crystal fern]

Maybe even a version that has UNITED STATES ARMY on the side

[snow lynx]

The lighning makes me think that a nuke is about to explode

[opaque blade]

Is this a staged photo with ai or is this during play with people?

[snow lynx]

Staged

[livid hamlet]

Lovin the chinooks rn, very fun

[livid hamlet]

Kinda stole your idea with 2 flying chinooks but i just added something lol

[snow lynx]

You should do it again but near the groung with some zombies underneath

Like a last moment extraction

[kindred nova]

I saw there was an update but unsure what it contains

[snow lynx]

There is no update ??

[kindred nova]

There was a minor update today
Had to downgrade after joining my server which had an older version

Unless i missed an update previously

[hidden steeple]

Was that for the british pack?

[ocean steeple]

Yeah I believe so

[kindred nova]

That's correct

[jaunty solstice]

Any update on fixing this whale?

[hidden steeple]

It is already done

[jaunty solstice]

Oh my bad

[waxen marsh]

Having a problem in first person where my head keeps glitching under the seat in the chinook, anyone else?

[daring cobalt]

Nope

[waxen marsh]

hm

[daring cobalt]

Are you piloting or just a passenger?

[waxen marsh]

Piloting

[daring cobalt]

Nope, I flew it yesterday after reinstalling it for a good hour and nothing felt wrong

Couldn’t move my head but that’s …. Ok

[neat latch]

FOCUS ON THE ROAD YOU DONT NEED TO LOOK AROUND

[daring cobalt]

Not when your flying, i was spooking around to practice my rooftop landings and pickups

[brazen lagoon]

road
helicopter

[kindred nova]

B R U H 😂

[daring cobalt]

What’s new with the chinooks update?

[kindred nova]

A fix for chinook seating

[unborn hearth]

@hidden steeple hook up lines when? Lol

[daring cobalt]

Shhhhh, the god will appear

[maiden heron]

Anyone else's Chinook mod seemingly broken? They don't appear in the GM menu and the one for the royal marines pack crashes me immediately

[unborn hearth]

I don’t have that as an issue with mine. You might have to redownload the mods

[kindred nova]

Redownload it and redline just to be safe

[worn dragon]

Only issue i have is the inability to pull up on the chinook without the camera getting stuck in the cargo/troop bay

[kindred nova]

That was an old issue last i checked. It could be a conflict but try adjusting your FOV to accommodate

[kindred nova]

Current issue with the Royal Marine Forces Pack:

Unable to install to server. Will go into restart loop no matter the placement.

Unsure if it's the ground vehicles or not, but the people are disconnecting in droves with the modpack in

[hidden steeple]

Is it the royal marines forces or vehicles pack?

[balmy wolf]

Have you updated R3D_Core?

[kindred nova]

I have recently, yes

[kindred nova]

Royal Marines vehicle pack* sorry for the misunderstanding

[hidden steeple]

I'll look at it when I can

[kindred nova]

Roger

[jaunty solstice]

@hidden steeple also a question for you, since helicopters are still functional will you plan on updating them and adding audio by any chance?

[jagged oxide]

Best heli mod on here🤤

Just need some functional instruments to navigate by😄

Oh and a top speed buff, as far as i understand it should be capable of a good 40-50km/h more then it is now

[forest mango]

I heard these where working again

[jagged oxide]

Yeah like a charm, audio and spinning rotors are back👍

[dry valve]

Anyone else having major lag problems in the chinook? On are server as soon as the blades start spinning it lags like crazy but only when its flying below like 20ft

[hushed nymph]

By the looks of it bro its only a visual glitch for just you all the other players see it fine from what ive just been tolled in this opp same shit was happening to me

[jagged oxide]

Yeah its only when its touching ground for me

Seems like its got to do with SA vehicles or something

[jaunty solstice]

Probably server authorities

[flat galleon]

You think we will ever have a variant like this one ?

[hidden steeple]

Not really a priority

[flat galleon]

I mean yea Ik but it would be cool if we could have some like stuff around the chinny to make it look better but I understand 👍🏻

[wraith vector]

Bruh wants to be a night stalker

[hard maple]

It would be cool

[granite valve]

I’ll agree I’d love to the the SF variant of the chinook as well as the black hawk

[worn dragon]

It would be cool if eventually the BH and Chinook got a model update like the Apache did but that will cost lotta money for a High Quality model for both

[granite valve]

That is fair, wish I could help

[flat galleon]

Nah I just want some more designs not like specifically that one but like stuff attached to it or better visuals. It would be cool for both crew men and infantry.

[balmy wolf]

Then make it.

[flat galleon]

Yea I wish I could but I’m not that good with info and coding and stuff, and plus it’s just a suggestion seeing if it’s possible like I said if not then I understand 😂

[young moss]

Is it possible to have chinooks be able to have like a hook to carry vehicles on? Or does SA make that impossible?

[woven bronze]

Hey mate just asking to when you will be updating the mod so it becomes available on Xbox again

[hidden steeple]

Eventually
