Hi Dastardly
Cockpit modelling is high end stuff indeed, at least as complex as making the 3d mods in most cases. Happily there is a lot of Helo work going on and we can expect upgrades for the Cobra, in time, and even further model types.
The Helos need a deft touch - you have it with a very good level aspect in your screenshot. Getting the screenshot ain't easy either. As you know you can never relax and have to be hands on the whole way. I love 'em, we Rotorheads are a breed apart and if most jet jockeys can't handle them, that's not the fault of the helos. Some of the CASEVAC and Spotting scenarios for Korea are fantastic. The Mil8's and 24V are practically perfect IMHO. Those babys can drift in any direction and fly exactly like comparable helo sims, BT~Wasted and Benitomuso created the most superb Flight Model.
Afghanistan 79 Scenarios are going to be a breeze to write, especially with some of the new maps...
I would like to see a proper Huey-D - WITH DOORS - for Vietnam scenarios. So far we can decorate the Vietnam scenery and fly a few of the specialist models and even do some pretty good ARA missions. But the main work-horse of the Vietnam War was, by far, the UH-1D - fitted with doors, rather than the stripped 'field mod' which doesn't sit right for so many of the guys, still around today and flying B.A.T., who actually rode the real Huey-D's into combat.
The call has been put out and we sincerely hope that one or more of the great 3D modders here will take it on. However, that is down to their valuable time and real lives, so we shall see...
Apologies for getting off topic there - still a bit hungover from yesterday's national festival; Australia Day...
