Kev2go Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) IS this in game However according to research including using UH1H flight manuals as references this sight picture is fictional. M60 reflext sight should look like this Ironically even ED inadvertently admit from their very own dcs huey manual the prototype designation of preceding XM60/XM60E1 are supposed to look like this Sourced from pg 103 of the DCS Uh1H manual Edited June 5, 2020 by Kev2go Build: Windows 10 64 bit Pro Case/Tower: Corsair Graphite 760tm ,Asus Strix Z790 Motherboard, Intel Core i7 12700k ,Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 64gb ram (3600 mhz) , (Asus strix oc edition) Nvidia RTX 3080 12gb , Evga g2 850 watt psu, Hardrives ; Samsung 970 EVo, , Samsung evo 860 pro 1 TB SSD, Samsung evo 850 pro 1TB SSD, WD 1TB HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PL_Harpoon Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Just replace the file in ...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Uh-1H\Cockpit\IndicationTextures\Don't forget to backup the original one. You're welcome. EDIT. Just bear in mind it's not 100% accurate as the outer circle in DCS is 50 mil and with this sight it should be 80.sight_XM60.zip Edited June 3, 2020 by PL_Harpoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ams999 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Interesting that both sight pictures seem to be possible. Personally, I'd prefer the 80 mil reticle as I find the 50 mil too crowded so I would welcome that change. Best, as always, would be of course the choice via special settings between both :) "[...] because, basically, in this day and age, if you get to the merge and no one's died - it's not good for anybody." - Keith 'Okie' Nance "Nun siegt mal schön!" - Theodor Heuss, September 1958 "Nobody has any intention of building a wall." - Walter Ulbricht, June 1961 "Russia has no plans to invade either Ukraine or any other country." - Vladimir Chizhov, Russia's ambassador to the EU, January 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manual you reference TM 55-1520-219-10 is for the Uh1B, not UH1H. I had no reason to ever think at looking at UH1B manual considering we have UH1H model. US army Uh1H manual didnt have any reference to any sighting system period given they didn't seem to use the long body hueys as gunships, but the Australian UH1H manual ( the so called Bushranger) did. Hence thats what i posted, which was the different pattern reticule that still had the same designation XM60/M60 But this just demonstrates why there sometimes aught to be multiple variations of a given aircraft included within a module, to avoid creating a franken piece that has a mish mash of features from various models that a specific model didn't have IRL. Or i guess it did, but just not in US military service.

Calabrone Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 It's right and I find the tail-mounted flares launchers on the HU-1H ridiculous, because I have not yet been able to find a match on the Iroquis featured in the NAM.

Belsintek is done with me ! ! Flares is Kinda of OT for the bug report thread, but i can easily point out Your attempt at satire post would of actually held some weight if what you implied was actually true. You wont find M130 countermeasure dispensers ( and associated control panel) on any US army huey in any time period. IF it did there would of been countless photographs of them being equipped with such in combat service plus more importantly referenced in primary source documents like manuals. Anyways its a shame no EGI CDI or An/AAR47 IR missile warning from a Uh1N slapped onto a UH1H, because " its a still a huey or something", Edited April 8 by Kev2go Build: Windows 10 64 bit Pro Case/Tower: Corsair Graphite 760tm ,Asus Strix Z790 Motherboard, Intel Core i7 12700k ,Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 64gb ram (3600 mhz) , (Asus strix oc edition) Nvidia RTX 3080 12gb , Evga g2 850 watt psu, Hardrives ; Samsung 970 EVo, , Samsung evo 860 pro 1 TB SSD, Samsung evo 850 pro 1TB SSD, WD 1TB HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calabrone Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Kev2go I am 71 years old and grew up following the war in NAM and fell in love with the Huey. Belsintek could have done something more adherent to the NAM. Unfortunately I am also content because Belsintek does not allow contact and since I love the Huey it has been a long time since I decided not to buy one of their modules anymore ! Ah I am Italian !
