Vic Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Just got the UH-1H and man do I got a lot to learn! Looking thru the skins and I thought there would be a lot more Vietnam skins. The ones I saw were cool. I made one just for fun. It's not historically accurate, it's a mix of the 117th and 1st Cav It was fun to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Ha ha thanks for the offer SC. Still got a lot to learn. Not till I can land on that ship. Dam that VRS Still making textures though. Dust Off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHPL Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I love your textures! They look so used and dirty. Do you have them available for download? Always happy landings ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hey thanks! I'll have to figure out how to do that. One important thing is you have to use ams999's file called "ab-212_lods_json" To get rid of all shine on Vietnam chopper textures. They need to be dead flat no shine. Made Huey pilot a Fu-Man-Chu Mustache so he looked more Vietnam era haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eight Ball Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hey thanks! I'll have to figure out how to do that You mean uploading it?

Vic Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Yeah I see that now on the user files page. Looks easy enough. Still want to tune the textures up a little bit, gonna darken the helmets up a little. Take a few more screen shots. Also does anyone know what file tells the game what helmet each different crew member wares? Maybe this is not possible. But some .lua has to tell what textures to use for the gunners. Would like to put different helmet graffiti on different crew members. Would be cool. Also starting to learn that when you lower the collective you pull back on the cyclitic that helps you stop faster and lower altitude without going into VRS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 The more I fly the Huey around. I need to see some rice paddies LOL would be cool! Do you think DCS could put some rice paddies in the Marianas islands map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisuli Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 One of these days I might come out as a closet rotorhead. Still like burning holes in the sky in a fast-mover, but learning how to hover and land is turning into a hobby. My odds of surviving a landing in the Huey are going up; still have trouble with a steady hover, and I land...somewhere...eventually... Landings are very precise on a continental scale. Why yes, I did land in North America; why do you ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnars Driver Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 In the real Huey, the China hat on the back of the stick is the force trim and it will bump the trim forward, aft, left and right. In our Hueys the force trim button was the round button to the left of the china hat. The china hat controlled the Hoist up- and down. I have never seen a China hat used as a force trim. Force trims are one way buttons, like on/off. Chiuna hats are mostly four way buttons (in other helos than Huey) is used as a trim motor activator for the selected direction. Trim motor activation, not that fast. Force trim: instant catches the new stick position.

t_hedlund Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I have several hours flying the Black Shark, but I never really got the hang of it. To be honest, I'm more of a fixed wing kind of guy, but during the free trial month I decided to give the Huey a try. Man that thing is awesome, I'm having a blast learning this beast. I had to picked it up also. Now I just need to learn how to landed it most consistently. www.tomhedlund.com Modules: A-10C, A-10CII.

Force trim: instant catches the new stick position. Same in ours (Australian) We also had a silver foot button so the non flying pilot could transmit without touching the cyclic. I always thought it was a local add on because it looked like something out of early model Holden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
