ngreenaway Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Will the hind be getting a vr- friendly NS430?

ngreenaway Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) I can't zoom in enough to read definitively, but in this Bulgarian mi-24, there also appears to be some gps to the right of the sights Edited August 17, 2020 by ngreenaway [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCS: The most expensive free game you'll ever play Modules: All of them System: I9-9900k, ROG Maximus , 32gb ram, RTX2070 Founder's Edition, t16000,hotas, pedals & cougar MFD, HP Reverb 1.2, HTC VIVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepin1234 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I see your two pic examples are in front cockpit. I am curious How will be implemented this GPS. Probably we gonna need some speak interaction. interesting stuff. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngreenaway Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 maybe same reason the copilot in the MI8 has more navigation instruments, i suppose the second pic i included seems to be a reasonable way to mount the ns430, similar to how aviodev & now polychop implemented it [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCS: The most expensive free game you'll ever play Modules: All of them System: I9-9900k, ROG Maximus , 32gb ram, RTX2070 Founder's Edition, t16000,hotas, pedals & cougar MFD, HP Reverb 1.2, HTC VIVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas_From_Hell Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 We won't have that mount for sure, as the gunsight out front used to mount them is exclusively used for the machine gun on the Mi-24V. As you can see here, the Mi-24P front cockpit is a lot cleaner: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowmover Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I hope we have it!!!! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngreenaway Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Yes, it is a cleaner cockpit, I imagine they can figure somewhere to fit the thing if there was interest in it. I just want to show that commercial GPS could be shoehorned into this, as in real life. I don't know that it's used much for navigation. I'm in middle of reading "snake pilot: flying the cobra attack helicopter in Vietnam", and the author discusses the need for front seaters to be sharp with map reading because it was they who called in artillery strikes, called in downed birds, or called for airstrikes and whatnot, so being able to radio in accurate coordinates was paramount I don't know modern doctrine for the Hind, but I can imagine it's much the same& in that sense having a gps mounted in the front seat makes a lot of sense. The ns430 seems to be gaining traction lately, first with c101 and now gazelle. I hope ED will take this opportunity to implement one of their own modules into a new airframe where something similar has been used in real life [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCS: The most expensive free game you'll ever play Modules: All of them System: I9-9900k, ROG Maximus , 32gb ram, RTX2070 Founder's Edition, t16000,hotas, pedals & cougar MFD, HP Reverb 1.2, HTC VIVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost84 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I can't zoom in enough to read definitively, but in this Bulgarian mi-24, there also appears to be some gps to the right of the sights Looks like a Trimble 2101 or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
