absolutely f**king mind-blowing!!

thanks rock and ericM, outstanding!

@themaster303: there's a youtube teaser-video (should be around page 5 of this thread. there you can see the really good looking cockpit of an assumingly earlier build)

actualy my thought that wings are longer is based on the last screens, in which i found that weapons hanging under pylons and wings scale doesn't match, so it's either wings or loadouts dimensions are wrong. you see i used to see hinds with those massive B-8 80mm rocket pods

ow, fully loaded hind you say? well at least give it some sord of script: when gear is not touching ground, it would fully extend.

hm... maybe it's not too late to send some pdfs to the makers, if needed ofcourse

I gave Eric over 400mb of research material including every PDF i could find on every P2P network.

As for your "script"... Eric already told you it has working dampers. The gear does extend when not loaded.

The cockpit is very TrackIR friendly. I use it all the time myself.

Pretty much every dial is animated. I still have some instruments to remake and config but if you can see it works (as much as is possible in arma).

Screens:

Pilot's Cockpit 1

Pilot's Cockpit - TrackIR Zoom Close up

Gunner's Cockpit

thanks for point all things out

just some awesome chaining loadout:

from left to right: pod with 2x7,62mm and 1x12,7mm "gatling" type maschine guns and pod with 1x30mm grenade launcher

@RockofSL i commend you for you for helping Eric get the mi24 in game, its looking really impressive.

Is there a camo that fits with the current SLA colour scheming? (Thinking of their Hokum)

Maybe an RACS colour scheme as well? Essentially the colour of their MH/AH-6s and UH-60s, with the RKS flag on the side behind the doors, towards the tail.

[wolfbite 8]

I was wondering if you would be able to make a digital reed pattern camo would look awesome... failing that a nice big sharkmouth is allways good

[Stewy 1]

Hi RH, would you please consider an SLA Hind? Using the SLA flag logo as a roundel?

Thanks mate, just a humble request

Its all Eric's work. Everything you can see, he has made. I believe the cockpit is made from photo textures so it’s very accurate.

VXR already made a special SLA texture for it. That will get released as a "bolt on" for the full version.

Did some one say it was Russian?

Nobody ,but on that tail is written in russian

Yeah, IIRC EricM used that exact photo as a reference point for that paint job - i was the one who linked it on page 6 that he saw. he said he was making one 'based around' it - looks better than i could ever imagine. Great work on it, EricM, looks amazing!

@RockofSL, Mate, I'd Wait for as long as it takes for you to release. hell i'll even understand if you decide not to - you're right, some people DO take it for granted just what hoops modmakers have to go through to get something remotely close to what they consider releasable!

if you want my input on matters, only release when YOU are damn good and ready - not a minute sooner! I'll have a computer in the future too - so what's the rush?

[digitalcenturion 20]

Great job Eric & Rock! Really awesome!

Let's hope I will have time to work on my Havoc too so it won't be too long before it gets done.

[icebreakr 3159]

RH: great job man! Smuky already asked that: will you add "Opasno " (danger) on the tail of Croatian hind?

[roberthammer 582]

I forgot i will add it

Very interesting radar, on a background of this screenshot , it is possible to look more close?

[Carlos599 0]

Hy this hind is soo cool i se you made a slovakian one, can you make  one with hungarian paint on it? Becouse I'm working on HDF mod at the moment it woud be a big help.

Here is a video http://www.indavideo.hu/video/Magyar_legiero_Mi-24

and some pictures: http://stalker.hardwired.hu/ssstalker_jarmuvek_mi24_03.jpg

And I have one more qestion.

Is it possible to make HDF texture to the Mi-17 too?

Quote[/b] ]Yeah, IIRC EricM used that exact photo as a reference point for that paint job - i was the one who linked it on page 6 that he saw

Yes, indeed I used your photo as reference. It looked really cool, while not too flashy. I didn't put the czech markers to make it more polyvalent/multipurpose for various mission templates. For the same reason I left the generic russian inscription OPASNO : It's a russian chopper, so I guess it is believable that you have it in russian even as an "export" version...

I switched from "tiger" to "tigershark" because I saw it more fitting with the grey look and I could add a cool mouth at the front.

For the final version, there will be a paint kit included making it super easy for anyone to create their own special camo.

[vengeance1 50]

VERY VERY NICE! Got to have it in our next Mission Creation. Hope to see it soon.

That Hind looks better and better every day, damn i wish we had such a wave of help on the old RHS Hinds.

Will a basic MI-24 with SLA skin be made?

Cheers

Yes, there is a SLA camo (made by VXR), though I don't know if it will be included in the beta version.

Edit : I just made a SLA skin too...
