USMCx Studio's Helis

[shut basin]

The UH-1Y is apart of the H-1 upgrade program for the United States Marine Corps. At last it has been recreated for Arma Reforger. This is a WIP

[drowsy oyster]

Lookin pretty nice

[ionic egret]

Wsg lyric how you been brotha

[drowsy oyster]

Decent

[ionic egret]

Good to hear

[drowsy oyster]

Wait do I know you from somewhere?

[ionic egret]

Eves unit

[drowsy oyster]

Ah yea that I know now

[ionic egret]

Our unit made the uh-1y

[drowsy oyster]

I’m a sucker for helicopters I’ll check it out later

[ionic egret]

Very wip

[shut basin]

Animations are pending

I love Lee sm

[verbal ginkgo]

Bump

[olive pond]

do not bump channels around here because it is considered spam @verbal ginkgo first and last warning

[verbal ginkgo]

So by that logic wouldn’t half of the mods here be in violation of this

Because I see a lot of others doing this

[wispy heath]

Joystick needs fixing.

[verbal ginkgo]

Heavy WIP

[ionic egret]

Expected to happen this is a early stage

[wispy heath]

A lot of issues, will get you a nice formatted document with everything I've found that needs improvement.

[shut basin]

Please do, I currently have very limited feedback

[wispy heath]

I have plenty to spare.

[shut basin]

I await eagerly, the more feedback the better I can make it!

[wispy heath]

For sure man!

@shut basin What model/license are you using for that model?

[wispy heath]

Cheers.

[shut basin]

correct positioning for entering the heli has been added

[ionic egret]

-Added a supply variant to the UH-1Y

[earnest ibex]

I tested it in my server. Is there a reason it doesn't have flares?

[shut basin]

WCS has not been added as a dependency yet

[earnest ibex]

Any ETA?

Would you also be able to add WCS miniguns

[shut basin]

give me 4 hours, currently working on all the variants before flares are added
i will be making my own miniguns for it

[earnest ibex]

Can you add this, I use this in my server for our hueys https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/6665392C73709ADD-HueygunshipM261Rocket-pod

[shut basin]

from all the reference photos i can locate the UH-1Y only operates with low-cap pods

[earnest ibex]

Yea but its just great for close air support & it can easily be done as the huey & ah1z are made to be fully compatible with the same parts for maintaining them

[shut basin]

this is true, let me do some research into it
i have intentions to make an AH-1Z after this is in a stable state so i may wait until i get my own model for them

[earnest ibex]

K

[shut basin]

i appreciate the feedback tho, will do some research into the topic
my own milsim would probably appreciate it as well

[earnest ibex]

Dude your are a legend if you make a AH1Z As well

I have been wanting both those helicopters for over a year

[shut basin]

ironically it was my intended goal, however marine doctrine does call for more util usage

[earnest ibex]

I would rather have a uh1y with rocked pods, Miniguns & working mfd's before a viper

[shut basin]

lots of it will be made alongside the viper is why i planned it this way

[earnest ibex]

Plus most of the parts are the same which is perfect

[shut basin]

exactly

[earnest ibex]

Do you plan on adding mfd framework as a dependency?

[shut basin]

yes

[earnest ibex]

Awesome

[shut basin]

i want to add a HUD as well but that will be later on

[ionic egret]

UH-1Y operates with low cap pods only carrying a total of 7 on each side or 14 total

[ionic egret]

@hard current

[hard current]

We plan to do exactly that. We’ve actually been going over the logistics tonight.

[ionic egret]

Our Official Discord!

[hard current]

I gotta finish this

[hard current]

We just acquired a fun model for our next project so stay tuned!

We are also looking for full time playtesters so if anyone is interested, feel free to DM me.

[shut basin]

patch 1.0.21

• Adds 1x armed variant with 14x M229s

[earnest ibex]

I am interested. I have been testing it every update on my development server before putting it on my main

We used it extensively on operations yesterday & it was great

[hard current]

Here's a permanent link to our server where interested parties can get support, report bugs, give suggestions, or just follow the progress of our mods even closer: https://discord.gg/BrERftRtU2

[ionic egret]

Patch 1.0.24

• Adds crude animations to the cockpit doors (very scuffed)

[serene girder]

Where did you get the model?

[ionic egret]

Turbosquid

[ionic egret]

Model posted here ^

[earnest ibex]

Why dont you just take the pilot & co pilot doors along with the rear doors off? They do it in real life? It would save you alot of animations.

[hard current]

Possible

[hard current]

hehe MoDdInG aNd DeVeLoPmEnT

[barren valve]

this is peak

[ionic egret]

I agree

[drowsy oyster]

Stretch Armstrong

[rancid crescent]

Lee change the pfp for the mod on this thread

[ionic egret]

Don't think you can

[valid hawk]

@shut basin please make a model like this

I would do unsavory things

[earnest ibex]

Agreed I hate having pilot doors

@shut basin The flares do not work & the miniguns have no ammo

[valid hawk]

It’s still a heavy WIP

[earnest ibex]

I was just letting him know so he can fix it

[ionic egret]

He was aware, Dont worry my guy

[shut basin]

Bro what

[hard current]

Lmao

[rancid crescent]

Any updates on the mod

[hard current]

Weapons stuff mainly. We are looking into making our own proprietary framework to speed development of our other planned projects along in the future.

[earnest ibex]

When are you fixing the weapons & flares?

[ionic egret]

Reworking some other things atm

[fierce agate]

would you ever add MFD framework as a dependnant so you can get working MFDs in the cockpit

also considering the additon of thermal to base game in 1.6 would you make the camera have a thermal option

[ionic egret]

MFDs will be added in the future once a couple other things are wrapped up. Thermal will be added to the camera once 1.6 has been released

[ember fractal]

Honestly I think the mod is really good, I only see two issues really with it and that’s just with the armed variant of it

[full hare]

Are there any plans to add a version with the GAU-21 or M240s?

[ionic egret]

Those being? Trying to catalog issues

[ionic egret]

Possible our main focus for door guns is the m134 atm

[alpine wadi]

If you guys do add the GAU that would be exciting since those are what I mostly see on the vipers

[ionic egret]

We will see in the future atm we are working on some other things atm

[full hare]

Super stoked for the mod, going to check it out when i get home

[ember fractal]

Just not being able to get into the gunner seat and the co pilot sitting above the bird

[ionic egret]

Current issues with Enfusion bugging

[ember fractal]

Okay yeah but besides that everything works pretty well

[earnest ibex]

When are you planning to fix it?

The flares also dont work

[ionic egret]

Aware of that and we are trying to fixing many things at once atm so no plans on the date

[earnest ibex]

Why not just one thing at a time?

[ionic egret]

Simple issues atm not bigger ones

[earnest ibex]

So its only simple issues left?

[ionic egret]

No only working on them rn to solve for more time to work in the future

[ionic egret]

Sorry guys for the lack of updates life got busy!

[earnest ibex]

Any ETA on the next update?

[ionic egret]

Not atm been handling internal things in our milsim.

[shut basin]

Update 1.27

Got annoyed with the current animation graphs and organization so the project got rebooted. Removed supplies and gunship variant. Base variant now includes open doors and rocket pods. Seating got rearranged

[shut basin]

proper sound added

[ionic egret]

https://discord.gg/Pcr3Agk9RK
New Discord!

[dull siren]

Just a heads up im pretty sure PR is making a ah1z I could be wrong tho

[ionic egret]

Aware of there plan, it gives players a choice in mods so it's not just one with the mod itself

[dull siren]

Fair enough, loving the UH1Y so far! Cant wait to see what else yall cook up

[ionic egret]

Thanks my man we have some big plans on the come up most of it posted on a roadmap in our discord

[dull siren]

Ive yet to join ima do that now and check it out!

[ionic egret]

Appreciate it my man

[full hare]

stoked to see how this mod progresses, I've been waiting for someone to make this mod forever since I've got absolutely no idea how to do it myself, but if y'all want any suggestions or anything I'd be happy to help where I can

[ionic egret]

If you have any ideas or suggestions please refer them to our discord

[full hare]

for sure, i just joined

[earnest ibex]

I am so happy you finnally updated it

[surreal pendant]

Lovely helicopter! dream to fly! great work guys 🫡

[echo lintel]

UH 1N perchance for us cold war nerds?
👉 👈

[drowsy oyster]

I think the guys making this are doing modern marine stuff

[echo lintel]

This isn't RHS btw,independent guy

[alpine wadi]

So does this means we get a GAU to

[stuck loom]

We need a 2009 marines mod.

[drowsy oyster]

Yea I know that
They do take suggestions in their discord tho

https://discord.gg/9QaPND7JQ

*the discord in question

[echo lintel]

2003 gen kill marines🤤

[stuck loom]

Reforged army studios has you covered (they're technically army but you can pretend they're marines).

[alpine wadi]

How marines gonna pretend there us

[echo lintel]

No IBA and bad models imo

[wind monolith]

there’s another guy that made a mod with a UH-1Y and UH-1N, has a few CH-146s too. Only ~250 mb and not RHS dependent:

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/663856DD7606745C-UH-1NAndUH-1Y

[valid hawk]

Only has the UH-1N

[barren valve]

No it has the Uh-1Y

[valid hawk]

That’s UH-1N with quad rotors

[barren valve]

It’s not done ya goob

[valid hawk]

I think ur a goon

[shut basin]

Outta curiosity would you be open to me using this image on the workshop page?

[surreal pendant]

Of course mate, be my guest 🫡

[shut basin]

Would you want me to credit you for it? If so, how would you want it

[surreal pendant]

Nah it's cool man, it's your mod 👍🏻

[inner lava]

Any plan on making a AH1Z

[ionic egret]

once we get the funding for it

[keen elk]

I love this thing. Pretty dope to fly

[ionic egret]

Badass photos

[keen elk]

Thx Man

[royal jolt]

superbe

[hushed wadi]

Hey! The AI doesn’t seem to be able to fire the minigun. I don’t know if that’s a known issue, but there you go.

[ionic egret]

May be a a issue with Ai we have not tested that though as we haven't ran it with ai

My Bad guys Invite expired

More info regarding our AH-1Z posted soon!

[ionic egret]

AH-1Z Has been posted a WIP fixing some personal side bugs atm not reccomended for download

[inner lava]

Really excited for this

[shut basin]

USMCx Studio's Helis

[mild moon]

Any chance the m134s will get tracers hard to get lead on the round rn

[ionic egret]

We are doing a rework on them for some reason the tracers do not show up at all 🤷

[mild moon]

Thats weird its through Wcs armaments or is it standalone?

[ionic egret]

Standalone

[tacit steppe]

any chance to get LODs for the UH1Y? 200k tris with no LODs is bad for console users (on public servers). Perhaps you could try InstaLOD with it? It might be able to deliver quick results

[rancid crescent]

We are currently working on the mod to make it more friendly for consoles and servers along with the AH1Z big things are coming soon

[ionic egret]

We are planning to add that but atm we are on reduced time due to life and other personal things

[alpine wadi]

Any chance we will see an aav in the future

[ionic egret]

Acv is to come first
