Pavehawk/blackhawk/seahawk family

[docjohnson]

So your question about what folks want in terms of UH-60 variants; how about helos from units like 160th SOAR or the USAF 55th SOS? If your willing I think it would be cool to honor the work of these units and aircraft with representative simobjects:

I understand that you probably don't want to go to the stealth extreme since Area51 already has a stealth UH-60. Anyway those are my thoughts on the subject.

Can't forget the Alaska Air Guard's "Ski-Hawks" Ski Equipped Pave Hawk

If you're going to do the Firehawk model. I did the textures a few years back and would be willing to share if thatll help?

Really beautiful. That would be great. Are they available anywhere?

 

[jagl04]

The basics of Tacpack are now working. Perhaps somebody in this forum can help me now. How do pilots guide the weapons? Do they have any type of visor/HUD to select the objectives?

 

[docjohnson]

I would have to see a reference to be sure, but I believe the MH-60 DAP has a fold away gunsight similar to what you see in the Milviz UH-1. For rocket ordnance its the sight picture, for hellfire or other guided ordnance I'm pretty sure they designate it with a laser target designator off of the gunsight and/or the sensor MFD that allows putting the beam on the target. There is in the later Nighthawks, a HMD for doing it by Mk I eyeball through the helmet visor/screen. I think this holds true for a UH-60 that is configured with guns and laser-guided missiles.

this is great, looking forward to the mdl with the ext tanks.

this reminds me, i need to update the htr profile for p3dv4 for the uh60...

The older early “K” DAP with the ability to fire the door mounted mini guns in fixed forward used a grease pencil. I know a few guys flying in that unit, but it’s really hard to ask them a tactical question. The standard NVG HUD could have a software update, or the IHADDS from the AH-64 might be used. All others require the EO/IR sensor to designate with laser, the Hellfire and new guided rockets.

Beautiful day for a flight, Skipper!

Yeah it is! Hey guys, watch this!

Hmmm...
Maybe that barrell roll wasn't such a great idea...


Have fun, all!

hey Tankerguy,
You ready to do a new livery of the Cal Fire ones that are replacing the Hueys?

I will be able to do the Cal Fire Firehawk textures but do not have the time right now.

 

[kdfw]

maybe add the sensors up front and the dust filter for the usn version?

It is possible, does not seem to be difficult. By the moment, since there are a lot of possible models, I will prepare a first package with three pavehawks and four blackhawks, with a basic tacpack mod. Otherwise, models will never be available for other people.

Great news and a big thank you

As far as "Guiding" the weapons: In Corrado's later TMAP incarnations, you can Lock a Surface/Airborne/Seaborne target with the radar and the missile will follow the Lock. I know of no way to actually "Steer" the weapons while in flight like you can with the Hellfire.

 

[jagl04]

First package uploaded: 3 Pavehawks and 5 Blackhawks, including 160 SOAR textures.

Next will be the aerosoft mod pack, once tacpacked. It will include FLIR, Hellefires and Penguin missile

Thanks jagl04, can’t wait to d/l when back at my gaming machine.

Holy Cow you are a long awaited God Send! Question for you: could you modify the rear wing of the Cera bird to add the Square profile of the Navy variant? Also most of the "MH" series have this Square wing, and even the New Build Blackhawks are receiving this wing. In addition, could you take a look at the Aerosoft HH-60 model the Port side weapons pylon is the same shape as those that carry the Hellfire missles on the SH-60B/R's. In your modeling, it looks like you have added a separate pylon above the existing one. It should be an outcropping of the short pylon that bends upward.

Thank you sir for your extremely appreciated work, Sincerely -Woog

Here's a couple more close up shots of the weapons pylon:

Your comments are very welcome and come just in time. I was preparing the package for Aersoft and now I will be able to correct this bug. The final Mod for Aerosoft will take some time more, but probable wll be more accurate. Thanks
