only if its optional to stick craft and helos without navigation and most certainly the huey I would buy it.

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Why ?

  • No Garmin 430's were used in Vietnam/Korea.
  • Most civilian Huey's on the web that do have a Garmin use the older GNC250XL or a portable like the GNS696
  • This
    , uses twin GNS430 and a glass cockpit. It doesn't carry rockets or machine guns.

Part of the joy in flying DCS modules is flying with realistic instruments and learning the 'old fashion' skills needed.

 

  • The Bo-105 being developed has a very basic GPS - should it be NS430 compatible?
  • How about the Spitfire, Mi-24, AV-8, F-14 or Hornet, they don't have a GNS430 but could carry a potable GPS device today?
  • Why add a fiction when players have the F10 map and better route planning could be added to that?

The F10 map isn't realistic. No mere chart would show your position like the F10 map does.

H Model did not have flare launchers, nor that incorrect flare pannel, a radar altimeter, let alone a radar altimeter thats in the incorrect place. You are fine with all of those things but not the GPS? Also the H model Huey they gave us is from the 80's and 90's not Vietnam. Incorrect avionics and weapons.

They weren't part of the module when I bought it, but you are right, they don't spoil my enjoyment.

All good points.

 

Guess I like the challenge of using the older navigation systems too much and as you point out, there are plenty of other anachronisms.

I think our Huey is modelled after a specific version that was retrofitted in the U.S. and then sold to the Georgians. Don't have a link, but googling "uh-1" and "georgia" may yield more info.

The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
