DCS – Producer’s Note 4 – Navigation

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Here is the fourth Producers Note for the upcoming DCS:Blackshark helicopter flight simulator.

This three part video shows how the autopilot and navigation beacons can help a KA-50 Blackshark pilot compensate for the lack of a co-pilot.

The landscape looks amazing!!

EECH – weapon firing rates corrected

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

Besides adding a cockpit for the Hind, Arneh has other improvements coming for the next version of EECH. This one is fixing the firing rates of all the weapons in the sim. Previously all weapons were firing at 1 shot per frame, so assuming 30-40 fps, each weapon was firing at around 2000 rounds per minute.

One of the big winners in this change is the Russian 23mm UPK-23 gun pod, which is showcased in this video.
(4 pods x 3500 rnds/min = 14,000 rounds per min!!!)

Video – “Frog or Prince”

This is one of my fave lockon videos. It features the SU-25 Frogfoot in an intricate air-to-ground ballet. How does it get off the ground with so many weapons/fangs?

DCS – Producer’s Note 3 – Basic Flight

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Here is the third Producer Note for the upcoming DCS:Blackshark helicopter flight simulator. This short video gives a sample of some of the nimble flight maneuvers that are possible with the coaxial rotor design of the KA-50 Blackshark.

Looks like fun! Guess I need to buy some pedals soon…

EECH – Hind cockpit startup video

Monday, September 8th, 2008

This is a video preview of the work that Arneh has been doing in the Enemy Engaged chopper sim. It is the startup procedure in his work-in-progress Mi-24V Hind pilot cockpit.

I love how realistically cluttered the external view is, and how much painstaking detail he added, like the working indicator lights, APU levers, twist throttle, working fan, etc.

You can follow the progress of this next patch at the SimHQ EECH forums.
