Sti UH-60L

This was meant for something private for myself and clan, but i figure i could release it so others might have fun with it to.

Description:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since ACE2 added the Blackhawk variant UH60M ive always wanted

one with miniguns, so i started to look at the A1 sample models and found that it had

miniguns, then it kind of went a bit more than just miniguns

Using the ESSS "External Stores Support System" with its four pylons to support

everything from External fuel tanks, FFAR pods to Hellfire's.

in the ACE2 version it does not have any optics or cameras making the Hellfire version only have LOAL fire modes

so you can fire on other laser designators but not lock onto anything yourself.

This is a cut and paste job mostly from the different Arma 1 sample models.

but using the rvmat and other files from Arma 2 and to me it looks pretty much like the

UH60M that ACE2 uses, with main differences being the cockpit since the "L" version uses the older analog

and "M" the newer MFD displays.

Important Note

There are bugs, and it is not perfect yet.

but im releasing it to get some fresh eyes in finding them

Also this is not perfect replicas, i only work with what i have

at hands, even though i wouldnt mind having them authentic.

Everyone else that i have asked questions ;)

and the ones i have forgotten, im sorry.

aw nice been dieing for army BH for ages

great work

Looks and sounds awesome man. This will go great with some of the army stuff I have from other mods.

Like you said, I and many others would really appreciate a non-ACE2 version once you get the time to do so. :)

Thank you for the ACE2 version! Screw the vanilla configs! ;)

Looking great!

can you please make a non-ace version?

Yay, I beta-tested this one...

The Hydra/Hellfire version is mean...very mean.

Fly in, drop FAC team, kick back and fire away.

Screw the vanilla configs! ;)

That's just ignorant imo.

OT: I would love to see a Non-ACE version in the future. Is there any chance of you releasing a medevac version, without the external pylons?

:eek:

I've wanted this for ages, thanks!

A version with a GAU-19 or M230 on the pylons would be sick -- DAP style :D

Thanks Stiltman

Brilliant mate, thanks for the work

x2 for a DAP style helo, just miniguns and fuel tanks without the ffars might be cool too, maybe 160th SOAR ones? One issue i noticed for most if not all of the uh60l's is the first person to enter the ride in back seat does not enter the helo and sit in an actual seat but seems to go up above the seating in around the top rotor. Other than that, thanks for the great addon.

Yeah I noticed that cargo bug too. Having guns themselves mounted on the pylons would be so cool (M134, GAU-19, M230) because then the pilot or co-pilot could fire them straight ahead when doing strafing runs. So far I'm loving this addon :)

If you want these to be accurate then send me a pm. There are several things that are wrong. The biggest issue is the weapons. Only the 160th SOAR has armed 60s. The regular conventional units do not have any weapons except the M240Hs used by the crew chiefs. I was a crew chief in the Army for 7 years. I can help you make these realistic if you wish. There are many, many differences between the Lima and Mike model UH-60s. The ACE team has got it very wrong for a group that strives on realism. I had my glory days before the Army started switching to the Mike model. Therefore all of my pictures and what not are of the Lima model. If you want to make a straight gunship then I suggest you rename your project accordingly.

Ehw ... :( requires ace2, can't use it. :(

Excellent addon! A very nice-looking light gunship for the army.

The Hellfire version is interesting.

Awesome choppers, thanks!

too bad i don't use ACE, cause this looks pretty good. Would be nice to have SOAR type helos for Vanilla ArmA 2

Nice job! Don't worry about it being cut-and-paste from ArmA; BIS did a worse job with their Seahawks in Arma 2 than they did with their Blackhawks in ArmA. ;)

Nice job! Don't worry about it being cut-and-paste from ArmA; BIS did a worse job with their Knight Hawks in Arma 2 than they did with their Black Hawks in ArmA. ;)

Fixed. :p

Release frontpaged on the Armaholic homepage.

Sti UH-60L v1.0



Advanced Combat Environment 2 - Core

- Advanced Combat Environment 2 - eXtras

Fixed. :p

Fine. :p

This version is for ACE2, and not to be used without it.

Sad, hopefully a version for ArmA 2 will follow asap. :(

@Marko112, Miller, Sickboy, Foxhound: Thnx for mirrors!

@the Vanilla user guys: ;) don't worry, working on the vanilla version now so will hopefully be ready this weekend.

@Some of the others: I'm no modeler or texturer myself, sadly. So i can not make new versions with new stuff for the model, but i will try and see what i can come up with in the future, i would also like to see the DAP with something like 12.7mm guns in the doors instead of the windows, and well more awesome. ;)

in the end maybe a complete H-60 family pack ranging from AH-60 to VH-60 someday would be nice.

-The next version will probably be the Vanilla and ACE2 versions, after that i'm going to focus a bit more on bug fixing.

1000 kisses for Stiltman ! :yay: I guess your birds can rock the UH-60 delivered via CAA1.

Are you planning to include further UH-60 versions for different factions in the future?
