Huey Pack II

Description
Huey helicopters inspired by the Vietnam-war era.





Components:
Various cosmetic components are available.
By default they are turned off. (Components can impact game engine performance (FPS))
The only component with a function is the armored seats. This component adds armor to the fire geometry of the model, giving the pilots a little protection against bullets.
Can be changed in the virtual garage.


Decals:
Various decals are available.
Please note that not all decals are available for all helicopters.
Can be changed in the virtual garage.


hiddenSelections:
This is the setup for the hiddenSelections.
I used the default setting as example.

This is for UH-1 and UH-1H.
hiddenSelections[] = {"Logo_Nose","Logo_Doors","Logo_Tail","camo1","camo2"};
hiddenSelectionsTextures[] =
{
"gr_huey_pack_2\vehicles\Markings\1stCav.paa", //Logo on the nose
"a3\data_f\clear_empty.paa", //Logo on both doors
"gr_huey_pack_2\vehicles\Markings\1stCav.paa", //Logo on both side of tail
"gr_huey_pack_2\vehicles\uh1\data\uh1h_co.paa", //Body texture 1
"gr_huey_pack_2\vehicles\uh1\data\uh1d_in_co.paa" //Body texture 2
};

Medevacs have no hiddenSelections.

This is for UH-1N.
hiddenSelections[] = {"Logo_Doors","Logo_Tail","camo1","camo2","camo3"};
hiddenSelectionsTextures[] =
{
"a3\data_f\clear_empty.paa", //Logo on both doors
"gr_huey_pack_2\vehicles\Markings\1stCav.paa", //Logo on both side of tail
"gr_huey_pack_2\vehicles\uh1\data\uh1n_main_co.paa", //Body texture 1
"gr_huey_pack_2\vehicles\uh1\data\uh1n_ext_co.paa", //Body texture 2
"gr_huey_pack_2\vehicles\uh1\data\heli_medium01_military_ext1_co.paa" //Engine Texture
};

UH-1N has a part of the old engine, which is not covered by any selection.



Tips:
  • Be careful with flaring when approaching your landing, the low tail boom can easily strike the ground and cause you to crash.

  • The Huey is a fragile helicopter. A well placed shot from a simple assault rifle can disable the engine, fuel tank or rotor blades.

  • The UH-1, UH-1H and UH-1N have different perfomances in flight. The UH-1 has the weakest engine.

  • Some pylon-weapon selections require you to change weapon-holder component in virtual garage before it looks good.



Known issues:
  • Advanced flight model is available but not balanced. It is too complex for me to understand how it works. It is basically a copy-paste of the AFM from the vanilla helicopters.

  • Some death animations seems glitchy which is weird since I'm only using vanilla animations from Arma 3.

  • Textures are stretched in some places.

  • AI is hopeless at aiming rockets.

  • AI door-gunners aims too short.


Credits:
The helicopter models, textures and sounds are from the data packages released by Bohemia Interactive.

Additional models (UH-1 engine, weapon holders, GPU2A gunpod) were made by me.

Some textures from the old Huey Pack have been reused. Those textures were made by CptDavo and ColonelHartigan.

Decals are from the internet.

Hey guys, in the Huey Pack 2 is a Huey that has little red wings on the back. Is it allowed to put the file in the server mod pack to change the color to olive original?

Thanks for the answer in advance

Hey man, could I suggest sole cobras, specifically the AH-1J and AH-1T

Great work. Holds up favourably to SOG. Any chance of compatibility with SOG pylon weapons?

I used to crew chief these things; UH-1H in Desert Storm with the 4-159 Avn Rgt (~720) and a UH-1N w/ the 229th Medical Det at Ft Drum (~762)

GOOD JOB!!!

Hi, Hello may I suggest adding the M60 MG on the sides of the chopper near the doors ? it's more accurate to the vietnam conflict this way, for future anniversary updates maybe? thanks in advance

hey i found a bug where if you attempt to turn on the "mirror" setting while in the pylons menu it crashes your game, no error or anything just click, freeze, crash
