(OLD) Realistic Bell UH-1H Iroquois "Huey" WIP

[daring linden]

Currently overhauling the audio for the Huey. Still very much a WIP. Also corrected the weight and increased inertia and corrected fuel usage and capacity.

[odd folio]

Didnt know how much i needed this!

[daring linden]

the enemy are gonna be scared when they hear this thing coming haha

[odd folio]

That goes hard
Will definitely hit different than the vanilla and some of the other helos

[daring linden]

PID will be easy with this

[odd folio]

How far are you wanting tov take this mod?

What are your goals for this huey iteration in particular?

[daring linden]

So far I have increased the inertia to make it now feel floaty. Changed the empty weight to the correct weight. Increased fuel consumption and reworked fuel capacity, and then the audio overhaul

[daring linden]

@odd folio https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/611F5A1124E0168B-RealisticBellUH-1HIroquois

[odd folio]

Going to check it out asap

[daring linden]

LMK if u find anything wrong

[odd folio]

Wilco! Loving the sounds and the feel of the cyclic! I did notice that the left anti torque is less responsive than the right (can send video if needed)

Kudos to the power down sequence (audio) as that's peak as well

@daring linden My mind is going crazy as i can only imagine separating the start up sequence into stages for that realistic helicopter initiation alongside your realistic audio

[daring linden]

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Was planning on making it be click R once and it turns the APU and generators on. Then hold R and it turns the engines on

[odd folio]

Yes!

Yesss!! Im lowkey tweaking rn

Do you think its possible?

[daring linden]

possibly. I will have a look at it tomorrow. glad u enjoy it

[odd folio]

You have no idea
Call me spidey cause I'm on the walls rn
This is blessed! 💯 many thanks for the opportunity

[daring linden]

Get some cool videos if u can!

[cyan drift]

Is this something that would also come to your MI8 mod?

[daring linden]

Yes. If I can find good enough samples

[lament vale]

Seems like there is an issue with some of the sounds used and ADS-ing

[cyan drift]

Did you spawn in as an AI in the helicopter pilot seat then leave that AI in the seat a spawn in as a AI next to it?

[lament vale]

That's what the person showcasing it to me did

is that some unrelated GM issue ?

[cyan drift]

Yea, so that’s a glitch on Bohemias side. Nothing CRN can do, that happens with all vehicles when a GM does that

[lament vale]

oh ok so it's only happening when doing some GM stuff and taking control of units

[cyan drift]

Yea, it only happens with you do what I stated with AI. I guess because the game still (audio wise) thinks your still in the helicopter, and it will give you internal audio for it, when your in first person but not third.

[daring linden]

I had this bug as well. As @cyan drift stated it’s a BI issue and nothing to do with my mod

[daring linden]

Uploading new version here soon. Main Rotor sounds were not layered correctly and only playing the slap. Sorry if yall enjoyed that fat slap, but its technically not realistic to that extent.

[cyan drift]

Hey @daring linden seems the same issue with the rudder pedal for the MI is happening for the UH. I think it’s the left rudder pedel now tho.

[daring linden]

should be fixed in the next update. It will drop later tonight

[cyan drift]

Okay, thanks!

[daring linden]

v1.1.0 uploaded. This one is nuts.

[daring linden]

V1.1.3 uploaded. Lots of fixes. Especially the flyby sounds

[daring linden]

1.2.0
Lots of audio mixing done.
Lowered volume of the distant engine and slap. Cant be heard from 9000 miles away anymore
Complete rework of startup and shutdown sounds
Fixed the startup bug

Thank you for your feedback, it helped me out a lot! Lmk if you encounter any issues.

[fringe jungle]

I don’t know if I’m the odd man out here, but I did enjoy the helicopter being louder. It felt a little more realistic in my opinion, but thats just an opinion🤷🏽‍♀️

Love the mod, it’s definitely a must for my server!

[daring linden]

Glad you enjoy it. I know some will not like the changes. But for the majority of servers people they were too loud. The real heli is very loud 1/2 mile away. Then quieter when you get close

[odd folio]

I do agree as well

[daring linden]

1.2.5
Complete rework of rotor sound effects.
Complete rework of spatiality in and around the cockpit.
Distance amplitude has been reworked.
At 0m the gain is at 1. At 15m it is dropped to 0.8

Sound is almost 1:1 with the actual heli now. I know some of yall loved the super loud sounds but previous version of this mod were not very accurate. Up close the real heli is not as loud as my mod was.

[daring linden]

1.2.6
Hotfix for broken main rotor sound off load
Reworked the distance for the main rotor
From 0.8 gain to 0.6 gain at 15m
RECOMMEND MOD: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EF0FE5A28A7BC8A-OpenableHueyDoors

[fringe jungle]

Hope it didn’t sound like I was complaining! Great work on the mod!

[rain panther]

The new update is way to quiet and the ''slap'' is not as good as last one, and also 300m+ its pretty much quiet now 😦 but the mod itself is a must for anyone that like helis in arma lol

[pseudo ledge]

wish the huey was still this dirty looking

[daring linden]

its a WIP. It's going to go through ups and downs. I'm trying to find a happy medium. I know the pilots love the sounds. but the people on the ground complain they cant hear

Sneak peak of the new sounds. These are ripped straight from the actual heli

[daring linden]

1.3.0
Completely reworked main rotor audio. Ripped straight from the real heli
Increased speed to match vanilla speed. Heli was too slow
Slight adjustments to sound distance to combat "not hearing it coming"
Lowered fuel consumption from 400L/hr to 200L/hr

1.3.1
Hotfix:
Fixed weird transition sounds
Lowered interior sounds. Will need more feedback

[fringe jungle]

Now, I get it, I’m the minority of the mod users that enjoy it being loud.

But,
-it’s a helicopter.
-It’s a twin bladed rotor helicopter.
-it’s a bell helicopter.

It will be loud🤷🏽‍♀️

So womp womp to the players when they say “but muh helicopters and muh guns are loud” when they’re playing a military video game💅🏾

Besides for that, my server is still enjoying the mod! Good job🇺🇸

[fringe jungle]

And ultimately, if they’re wimps like me, and don’t want hearing damage from a video game, they can turn their game audio down

[untold dust]

Did you make it louder when up close?

[fringe jungle]

🗣️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[odd folio]

I wonder if hes able to get the realistic rotor sounds for the other helicopters as well. This is lowkey a banger

[fringe jungle]

Hell yeah dude. It’s such a vibe, it’d be cool. I know he’s got a mod up for the other base game heli, just haven’t downloaded it yet. My server doesn’t use it much

[odd folio]

Yeah it'd be lit to see that in the middle of an op with the rocket pods from King

[daring linden]

I know. I enjoy it loud too. But I can’t please everyone and I needed to find a middle ground

[fringe jungle]

Exactly. Ultimately you’re the mod creator, so all that’s said differs to your opinion. A middle ground is reasonable 🗣️

[daring linden]

WIP. tryna find the best balance of sounds.

[untold dust]

Thing is you can not have it loud. There are levels of sound. For certain assets. I can not quite remember but the sound dev from BI was explaining it to us in the RHS discord one time.

[daring linden]

1.3.2
-Had to revert to older sounds due to multiple audio issues

-Reworked distant sounds and flyby sounds. (READ DESCRIPTION)*

-Various audio mixing

-Reduced overall size by 20mb

should be last version for awhile. The next update will be a flyby overhaul

[merry void]

Thanks for this mod lmfao

[wise badge]

Do you plan on doing this for other helis like Blackhawks, cobras, and when it's out the Chinooks

[merry void]

Littlebirds*

[silver junco]

Noticed an issue

So when you do a lot of rough j turns or hard U turns to the point of rotors being at a 90 degree angle sideways, the engine, rotors, and gas tank gets damaged

[merry void]

Yeah it’s realistic

[silver junco]

So its a feature cool

[daring linden]

(OLD) Realistic Bell UH-1H Iroquois "Huey" WIP

[silver junco]

@daring linden If someone were to remake this mod, what did you exactly change regarding the flight model specifically? If you can recall that is

[daring linden]

you can see the changes in the project if you open it. I didnt change much flight model wise as it was pretty accurate

[silver junco]

Sorry I keep forgetting I can do that to locked mods. I am somewhat new to the engine tools

[daring linden]

just create a clone of the prefab and you can open it

[silver junco]

Is it at all possible to edit the sounds to be a little quieter?

[daring linden]

yes. once you create clones of the audio you can see the main audio bus and edit it all

[silver junco]

Alright thank you, I'll see if I can possibly make my own attempted version of it. Also btw, both your mods work fine on my server as they are still, surprisingly

[daring linden]

im very surprised as they added the gunner position. not sure what they changed in the prefab

[silver junco]

Even though I may be bothering you at this point, this was one of my most favorite mods and I wish you had the ability to still work on the original files or had it uploaded to github or something.

[silver junco]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/61BB3921A1B67F2D-RealisticUH1HHelicopterEdit
This is my edit for your mod. Not sure if you want me to change anything in the licensing and/or how I credited you. I am fairly new to editing other mods on that part. All I changed was cut the volume down in half for most sounds.

[daring linden]

Nice! yea do whatever you want to it. there are no restrictions. just as long as u credit me for the original mod.
