Having 50 cals on the ramp and left and right windows is realistic. But the side guns coming from the aux tanks are not real at all. The hoist is usually not installed because they aren’t useful one bit. 53 mech here. I’m sure someone has said this already but just clearing the air. Great to see this mid coming to life slowly.

Of any promptly upcoming (and existing) mods only expect AH-1, UH-1, Bo-105, OH-6/AH-6 and the CH-53 here to be realistic, since these are the helicopters from the NASA CR-3144 paper (with data).

@@Endurance0244 At the moment I'd recommend sticking with the AH-6: forums.eagle.ru/topic/228394-helicopter-efm-demo/ But as I said above, it's basically the same NASA paper. The mod makers substitute the OH-6 numbers with the numbers of the CH-53 and it turns into a CH-53 (for some reason that didn't quite work out, but I haven't tried comparing source codes of both of them against one another).

I worked on MH-53s in the Navy. it is true they can have left and right gunners with 50 cals. no, we did not get miniguns. also, the tail gunner is true as well with another 50 cal. It is a big beast of an aircraft. the only helicopter i ever worked on that you could stand up fully in it. anybody that knows helicopters would be impressed with the size of the main rotor head.

The author of the mod miscredited Cpt.Smiley. He made the F-16A mod (no longer working in 2.x), not an "F-22 demo". What's ironic about this mod is that it at least has as realistic a base as they come: a NASA Contractor Report paper, the same CR-3144 as the AH-6 mod this one is based on (and THAT is the helo you should have suggested to use for familiarizing with rotorcraft in DCS). The paper has the data for AH-1, UH-1, OH-6 (the AH-6 mod is based on), Bo-105 and CH-53. So, expect at least a Bo-105 from that list and maybe a Cobra at some point. Although the AH-6 mod also has its own quirks. For example, the paper doesn't come with any aero data usable for VRS modeling, also for IGE hover or for different density altitudes, so it's mostly good for flying with some airspeed involved right next to sea level. All that should apply to the "CH-53" here as well. Not sure why it behaves like it's a light helicopter, however... It also comes with the source code (just like the AH-6 of the Cpt. Smiley's template), so I guess the answer can be found there (not in the mood to dig into it at the moment). One more thing, the A-29 mod will only then have qualifications to be called "realistic" when it's switched to EFM. But considering there most likely is no aero data available on the thing, don't expect it to be anything but a toy even in that case either.
@getsideways72573 жыл бұрын
I can't believe it... The guy simply left the same aero data the AH-6 used. No wonder it feels weird.

It's hard to go "not even close to accurate" with NASA data... Either way, I have yet to check the mod myself, but had to clarify this. Edit: the mod does feel weirder than the AH-6 one it's based on... Also, it's really raw at the moment. Headtracking doesn't seem to work with it.
