Thanks, it has some gauges and digits screens like the real one MH-60L. MH-60M will have full glass cockpit.

JollyRes, the response wasn't directed towards you, it was to yura because he said he heard that real 60K's could hold 15....sorry for the confusion
also yura, just thought of something you may or may not want to add. When I did see the SOAR hawks flying around, they always had numbers taped on the glass of their side cargo doors like "64" or "62"....maybe you could add that? Not really a big deal, just thought it would looks neat.

Here's some good reference photos:

Glad you liked my addon pics! Thanks to CptDavo, M1n1d0u, SuicideCommando, Papanowel, soldier2390, Sabre, islesfan186!

Looks epic! Care to tease us with some shots of the DAP?

M230 gun is not ready ;-(

@minidou
in ADuke pack, when the guys are in cargo position, they hve their weapons in their hands, like in the little bird.

I just find it weird for them not to hold their weapons while in cargo.

ADuke's MH-60L can carry only 8 men, i think it is not enough! That's why i didnt use littlebird's cargo animation, its too wide, so only 2 men in door can be fit.

I thought when i have time i will make my own custom animation.

Agreed. Should DEFINITELY make it so that they hold their weapons in their hand. You may just need to play around with the animations since every anim with weapons in hand is a pretty wide stanced animation. Youll probably be able to fit 10 guys in the back at most if you sit some down in the middle.

10 men squad? Thats not enough! I heard in real life MH-60L can carry 15 men!

January 14, 2013

Well, to make completelly new ropes animation is too hard for me. A lot of work, so i asked Norrin to get me permission for using his fastroping script and rope model and he got me it! Thank you Norrin very much!

I modified Norring rope model and i want to show you what i got:

Hope you will like it ;-)

@yura
IMO, you should take the skins from Zero Dark Thirty for the Stealthhawk

They use prop, fake stealthhawk. The real one looks different, prop's tail doesnt look like real and movie version has 5 blades, but real one has only 4 like convensional blackhawk.

hey yurapetrov have you ever consider updating your addon to TOH engine?

Sorry, no, i dont have ToH, i dont know how it works and that i have to change in my addon to import it to ToH.

January 13, 2013

for the moment, I am expecting 3 things:
-SH-60B with only side gunners

-MH-60L and MH-60K (with fastrope and external cargo position)

-Stealthhawk.

anyway, great work on all your work, it's really impressive!!!

Thanks, MH-60L will be released soon, MH-60K doesnt have instruments panel. SH-60B with side gunner will be in next release. No idea how is look stealthhawk ;-(

i realy like this new release, i love the variety and detail u put in your great addon.
keep going , i "expect" im going to enjoy every minute flying. :)

Glad you liked my work! Hope my addon doesnt disapoint you.

January 13, 2013

Thanks, RavenDK, sure, i have MH-60R in work, i remember i posted this WIP screen 2 years ago. I will repost this screen here:

January 13, 2013

It will be good, if someone makes Coast Guard Crew and Rescue swimmer. I dont have character model experience, i dont know how to make infantry model, so i will continue making choppers;-)

January 13, 2013

The fact that I missed your message... my apologies. I haven't been on the forums for a few weeks. I'm flattered that you were waiting my feedback. Sorry I couldn't provide it, as I know you do quality work.
The one pic I've seen online is probably the one you've seen, but as you said, it was a test for the Hotel. I completely understand you adjusting your addon of playability. Just thought I'd pass along the "real life" info, in case you were interested. I'm still looking forward to your -60Hs.

You are right, you know much more about those chopper, i just thought what hellfires on oceanhawk it is unusual, but possible. Thought if they need, they can add it to SH-60F. It will be realistic to remove those weapon to add reallity. I have all parts for 60H's. Yesterday i made fairing for flare dispenser, so only combine all parts in one model and fixing bugs are left.

Buy the way, what you think about Zodiac under the SH-60F? Like this

And what about GAU-16 under the pylon? Was it experiment too?

January 13, 2013

.... Great Job Yura. .....
A question however: Would there be any chance for a patch, once you fnished your Fastroping on the Blackhawks, which would allow to slide down the ropes from an Oceanhawk, too? They have been used rarely to insert Boarding Specialists on other vessels for Searches or Arrests, so a Rope would come in handy for these, too.

Thanks. I'm going to add fastroping to HH-60H, but i think it will be nice to add fastroping to SH-60F too.

These are just Awesome models, what a great addition to ARMA2.
I am getting a script error that once activated won't go away, however does work properly. If you use the "Fold" user action the script file SH60fold.sqs has a line in it like this:

~0.1;

I believe the semicolon is causing it, if you remove it then it goes away and works fine

I'm glad you like it, i want to remake this script completelly, it has some bugs, sorry, i didnt have time to do this ;-(

I'm working within the German Naval Forces, the 'Deutsche Marine', and besides SH-3, NH-90 and Westland Sealynx, the Seahawk is used occasionally.

It's interesting, i never heard about seahawks in German Naval Forces. Tryed to search "German seahawk" in google, got no results ;-(

Yura,
I hope you know that I'm a fan of your helos, so please don't think I mean to bad-mouth your work and efforts to Arma. I'm offering this only as informational... The -60F doesn't carry Hellfires, only torpedoes and guns. The Hotel carries the missiles (along with the Bravo and Romeo, of course).

However, smack some HIRS on that -60F you have and you're pretty close to a -60H (at least, in game).

That said, these look very nice. Thanks for your efforts.

Yes, i remember you, i waited you message few days after my message with new screenshots. I knew that Oceanhawk cant use Hellfires and doesnt has FLIR, but i thought choppers in Arma is in the center of battleflield, so they could put hellfires on them. I saw one picture of Oceanhawk with FLIR and Hellfires, later i read about it, it was an experiment before building HH-60H. Well, in next release i will remove FLIR and Hellfires from SH-60F, will add M240 door machinegun and put FLIR and Hellfires on HH-60H.

January 12, 2013

Love the new SH-60F Oceanhawks! :cool:
my only recommendation is what I've stated before, changing the engine sounds, the current ones sounds nothing like a -60 series helicopter, I'd definitely would suggest seeing if you can use the RH blackhawk sounds which are pretty close to the real thing:

Thanks! It is my first sounds experience, and i never heard seahawk/blackhawk in real life, so it is difficult for me to create correct sounds. Well, next release will be support JSRS sounds and i thinking about using RH sounds if user doesnt install JSRS addon.

January 11, 2013

And i was about to ask this too, though more along the lines of what design of cockpit you're going with seeing there's so many.
And also a usal, how much is left to work on the MH-60's too :D

Sure, i'm working on stealthhawk, found some interesting info about it a few days ago, so soon i will make airframe.

Fixing bugs and making new ropes for MH-60L. It will be released after finish fastroping.

January 11, 2013

pb with the link, can't dl it.
by the way, do you plan to make a SH-60B version, WITHOUT the torpedo and missiles, but with side machinegun?

thanks

Added mirrors on my site www.yurapetrov.com, see first message in this threat.

Yes, i'm going to make SH-60B and SH-60F with side machinegun.
