Ivory Aircraft - UH-1Y Venom

[dezkit 28]

Pictures as of 19 sept

I'm using the UH-1Y model from the arma 2 sample data.

I got a bunch of features planned in mind such as:

Slingloading

Functional doors

Formation Lights

Collision Lights

Landing Lights

Working FLIR camrea

Fast roping

Exhaust Fumes

RotorLIB Functionality

Shooting from side (replace the MGs)

Also might make a civilian variant a la Bell 412

[dezkit 28]

i lost the sources to them in a hdd crash so im cancelling the projects since i cant continue them lol but im over it its ok shit happens

[Ckrauslo 12]

Are you improving the model and interior? Btw i love you

But you had released the mod sources with all releases (at least till the last one here) they´re still on Armaholic databanks btw... but if you´re fed up with planes, that´s your call, just post some permition to continue so anyone willing to keep developing them can without a hassle... thou I know CSAT replacement and Serbian mods are already using your MiG29K port and the JSDF the F15C, which is nice!

Anxious to fly your Venom with rotorlib support, but only after the Chopper dlc officially released (I don´t touch the dev branch anymore, A3 is already bugged as hell lol)

Keep up the great work, man!

[HitmanTwoActual 188]

And an update to textures hopefully! But seriously, thank you so much for paying attention to this great helicopter.

[zeealex 2029]

GIMMIE!!! :D I love the huey! glad to see a full implementation of it at last!

[themaster303 22]

nice that the civ version is coming eventually. hope it really get in game. like it.

about the hdd crash, do you also lost the bell 206 ?? that would be very sad !

i was looking forward to the bell 206. youtube videos where great.

[dezkit 28]

Yes I lost it. What's worse about that one is that I only have a binarized backup of it. No unbinned at all.

Gonna post some pics later today of the venom

[miketim 20]

Wait did you lose ALL your current projects? Even that bell- whatever one you showed in that vid???

[dezkit 28]

wip update:

figured out how to make rotor bend when engine is off, and main rotor now banks and dives when using flight stick.

windshield wipers start to wipe when rain is set to 0.1 and get faster as rain approaches 1.

using maxholdstervalue, i've achieved bringing down the hud as you switch from safety to hydras.

pilot/copilot flight stick, lever, pedals are now all animated.

doors now open when you enter pilot/copilot seat.

[mistyronin 1181]

Awesome! That's how all the BI helos should work!

[mordeaniischaos 3]

What is it with ArmA addon creators having HDD failures? And why don't any of you use backup drives? You'd think you'd learn eventually :p

Glad to see this coming though! Are you going to improve the visual quality? Textures at least?

[Ckrauslo 12]

Loved it

[bagpiperguy 74]

Never mid read back some posts, that sucks man --> But you should be able to re download them and continue work on the F-15 and such right? or is that just a dumb hope of mine :P ---> (Awesome I thought you kinda... left. Now wrong thread and wrong place but your aircraft have no sounds for me.. Is there a fix that I am missing, just the weapons the engines work good.)

Now back on track to the forum post. Is this a port from arma 2 and if so can you make one version without the rocket pods? its an odd request yes but it would be similar to other nations Huey and it could be used with group play easier. Just a thought :)

Keep up the great work man!

[dezkit 28]

yeah there will be full customization with doors, machine guns, rocket pods, etc, and it is a port from the arma 2 version but heavily modified to arma3 standards

as for textures, that will be a long-term goal.

[R. Brown 10]

Nice to see some functionality love for this great bird.

[DJankovic 401]

My sugestion just get the texture wright and evrything is gonna fall in to its place,to bad all arma 2 ports have a2 texture and they are looking unifinished in A3.

[miketim 20]

Will this make it possible to just have a plain heli, ie remove all weapons in service menu

[dezkit 28]

yes but its a maybe on the service menu. it's a little too overkill for a heli that can only carry 2 weapons.

[chortles 263]

yes but its a maybe on the service menu. it's a little too overkill for a heli that can only carry 2 weapons.

You could also stick MGs (M240D, GAU-16/A -- modernized/adapted M2s -- or Minigun) on pintle mounts above/with the rocket pods like so, or is that what you meant by "2 weapons"?

[gunny24 46]

I would love to see some older Versions of the Twin Engine Huey and a Whiskey Cobra would also be a nice addition, but a fully functional UH-1Y with selectable Loadout is also pretty good^^

[Ckrauslo 12]

Yeah Deskit ... please do it *-*
