Black_Angel 0 Posted March 27, 2003 As long as the helicopters keep coming, being top quality, REALISTIC models, more and greater improvements each release, I'll be happy. As an improvement to helicopters, I would like to see flexible rotor blades, instead of the plain flat state they attain while flying. Beside that, Id like to see main rotor blades having the ability to tilt in the direction that the pilot banks the aircraft. I believe this is done on the original chinook helicopter, but it was only scripted for forward and backward tilting. And to add, I would also like to see realistic startup, engine idle, and shutdown processes (for those of you who know helicopters well, you know what im talking about.) And to add again, hehe, Id like to see (hopefully officially made) more radio commands added (in all areas), and maybe inflight character movements within the helicopter (arm gestures/movements, head movements, collective movement, flight stick movement, etc.) Things such as these would really add to the realistic look of the model when being flown. Sure its not necessary, but it would look a hell of a lot cooler and realistic . I hope this sparks some ideas within you modelers/scripters out there. Keep up the good work guys! -BA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PFC Mongoose 0 Posted March 27, 2003 I believe the Northar crew is working on a CH-146 as part of their RCAF/CAF lineup. I too would like to see a Kasatka.. preferrably one compatable with 1.46, if possible. Black Angel covered all the realistic stuff; but I'd like to see some more unrealistic ones... like the 'hover' Gunship from Empire Earth, or maybe some prototypes not yet in service, if anyone knows of any (heh.) But basically, I'll take whatever I can get, as long as it runs on my version of OpFlash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 27, 2003 So since this topic is regenerated, any of you guys who posted pics of work in progress care to update us? p.s. when I have the time, I will make a post listing every addon some author has teased us with, but never supplied (this may take hours  ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john_mcclane 0 Posted March 27, 2003 Yep, a UH-1N would be great. I believe a couple are in the works. Also looking forward to that AH-1W that BAS was working on. And the Kiowa Warriors. Would be nice if a Nam era Kiowa was made as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Major Gripe 0 Posted April 23, 2003 Shashman there was an 'armed blackhawk' made by sikorsky called the s-67. It was designed as competition for the Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne in the AAFSS (Advanced Aerial Fire Support System) competition in 1964. It was capable of transporting 15 soldiers with armament of its chin gun a 30mm cannon and various stores on its wings including up to 15 AIM-9 sidewinders. It was binned as a project when at the Farnborough airshow in England in september 1974, in front of many potential customers, while completing a roll the pilot started the manouevre too low and it crashed into the ground. Sikorsky then moved on to concentrate on the S-70 Blackhawk transport chopper we all know and love! pics Side view head on plan view if anyone wants to model this i have more pics and details Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jacobaby Posted April 23, 2003 Not sure, but this is what my pilot mate says; </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"> Re the WP smoke rockets, I can't specifically help you there as we didn't use or observe such items. When I was on my exchange tour with the AAC, however, we used to do Air Observation Post sorties with the artillery at least once a year. I can vouch that a 105mm light gun WP shell produces a plume about 15-20m wide and 10 m high depending on wind, with a still-air duration in the rough order of 15-20 secs. Long enough to bring the Gazelle up from the low hover, sight the shot, calculate the adjustment and call for correction while shifting observation positions... all good fun. <span id='postcolor'> TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
