Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk

Written by Vulcan. Posted in Military Rotary Winged

The UH-60 Black Hawk is a four-bladed, twin-engine, medium-lift utility helicopter manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft.

The UH-60A entered service with the Army in 1979, to replace the Bell UH-1 Iroquois as the Army’s tactical transport helicopter. It is used by Australia.

Two variants of the Australian model are available soon. One is loaded with missiles and the aircraft will load and unload passengers at suitable airports. The left front door will open automatically for passengers and can also be manually operated using the V key (trigger number 3 setting). You can load different missile to the inner missile hardpoints, the choice is a single Hellfire, a Hellfire pod of four, the Matra pod, Hydra pod or a small fuel tank. The outer hard point load cannot be changed.

For the second model, the pilot is initially outside the aircraft, and the door is open. On using the B key, the pilot will get in the aircraft and close the door, and then start the engines for takeoff.

The helicopters will lift and hover above the track, using the H key – use the H key again to lower the helicopter. Maximum hover height is 15 metres, variable in the config table, default setting 10 metres. When stopping the engines, the pilot will open the door and get off the aircraft.

Written by Vulcan. Posted in Military Rotary Winged

The Boeing AH-64 Apache is a four-blade, twin-engine attack helicopter with a tandem cockpit for a two-man crew. The Apache was developed for the United States Army to replace the AH-1 Cobra, and introduced to service in April 1986.

Initially the rotors are stationary, use the B key or triggger setting 2 to start or stop the rotors. The helicopter will lift and hover above the track, using the H key or trigger setting 1 – use the H key again to lower the helicopter. The maximum hover height is 15 metres, and may be varied in the config file, default setting 10 metres.

The helicopter is loaded with Hydra missiles in the two pods and the larger Hellfire missiles on the racks. These are all animated and cannot be changed by the user. There is also an operating M230 chain gun. The gun has a random animation when the helicopter is running.

The V key fires the missiles: first press pickles off six hydra, second press fires two Hellfire from the right rack, third press fires two Hellfire from the left rack, and the fourth press fires the chain gun. Subsequent presses recycles the sequence.
