HWM - HAC Huey UH-1H

[ravendk 25]

Looking good there boys! Keep up the good work!!

[Hawkins 8]

Gotta admit, best damn looking "public" chopper in ArmA yet. Good work!

We are working in this nose issue. Thanks for the feedback guys.

[andersson 285]

I also thought that the nose was wrong, until I realised that my "blueprint" is SebNam2 hueys

After reading this thread I guess this is the way they look. And it looks good!

How is the handling? I hope you will make it nice but not to easy, it is still a helicopter I would prefer to have it "compatible" with the arma-choppers. I mean that it should be slower and heavier than the arma AH6, but lighter then the rest.

Well, the handling is as it should be, exactly as you described it... heavier than Little birds, not as powerful as Blackhawk, less agile than Cobra, to compare it with western helicopter types. As veterans of flying sims, we kinda used that experience to adjust the flight attributes

What would really be awesome though, as I see that lots of people have actual flying experience, or are related to people who have, with the Huey, is to have actual feedback from these people. It's very good to have people suggesting about modelling and texturing, but having feedback from the real veterans would really bring the whole project to new level.

Just keep in mind that ArmA is not FSX or Falcon or SAR, so some things are not feasible. Yet.

Impressive work, its defo going to set a new quality standard of addons released.

Would you be able to tell us what camo schemes you have in the works besides the Greek and RACS?

And do you have plans for an unarmed version or one with say M240 or M60's, or are you sticking with the MG3's for them all?

Cheers

Beautiful, but since the addons are based on the actual Hellenic Army arsenal...

[naash 0]

oups !

sorry, I just focused on the UH1...

[roberthammer 582]

OK HWM team if u want your huey only for yourselfs , pls make unarmed version , green or better black huey for Mercs better armed with M60D's . That's all , again pls make those versions !

Just to set things on the right track, the Huey and all our addons are part of a total conversion mod, aiming to realistically depict the Hellenic Armed Forces. Though it is a huge amount of work, we are really set on producing other variations as far as texturing is concerned. You will definately see some other Huey variations from us, just hang in there.

For instance, we would love to see the M60 hanging by the sides of the bird. But as we have decided to build everything from scratch, the M60 is not ready yet while the MG3 is on finals.

Don't forget, we have a couple more things we want to share with you with this addon, so bear with us a bit longer...  

[Αplion 1122]

MERCS ?

come on guys, we can do any texture variation but give us the time first to complete other major issues.

P.S. sorry about the skull, I couldn't resist

[roberthammer 582]

Nice ,but can u post a pic with modified nose pls

[naash 0]

don't worry, we're staying by your side.

and no problem, I understand that you give the priority to the hellenic mod.

[Αplion 1122]

Nice ,but can u post a pic with modified nose pls

......... hmmm you probably mean the nose of the skull !! yes you are right I must do something about it

[Gedis 0]

if you don't see what's wrong with the huey's nose, the easiest way of showing that is to look at that shadow, you will find that nose blunt...

everything else except nose looks perfect

[oldbear 390]

And I would suggest ... when all the serious work on your is done of course, a Huey painted in RACS scheme, I think you have some spare blue and white paint barrels around for the strips.

If youd look even just one page back...

No one actually reads threads anymore it seems.

Thanks for the reply, and i wasnt trying to be pushy incase you got the wrong impression.  And i fully understand that the Hellenic versions have priority, but its good to know you will be doing other versions.

[Stewy 1]

Thanks fellas for making the Hellenic version and a few other versions - They all look fantastic!

[Αplion 1122]

Guys we are trying to find what exactly is wrong with the nose of the model. We are following exactly the blueprints from the original manual of the UH-1H and it is exactly the same.

I know that older versions of huey (during Vietnam war period) was slightly different than newer versions.

Anyway we will keep looking for improvement in that section but please think also the possibility of in-game photo stretching. Maybe this is the reason that the photos are different than what we see actual in-game.
