Dang! I also would like the source code files if possible. I'm working on the KA-50 MFD's tomorrow. I'll be altering the following Avionics files:
hm_avevn_ka50.c
hm_dam_ka50.c
hm_eo_ka50.c
hm_eo_ka50.h
hm_mfd_ka50.c
hm_tgt_ka50.c

I guess we can merge yours with mine after you get back from your Holiday.

Everything is checked in to the master branch. So if you do a pull, you can get the updated files.

At some point I plan to do a bigger refactor, to change ka50 hokum references to blackshark. I also want to change the filenames to start with bl, rather than hm to follow the existing naming convention. There's also a lot of unused code in the ka50 code left over from copying from the ka52.

Awesome! I need to get a new copy of Master! I'll upload my changes when I get all of the exported MFD's done, I still need to do the Havoc.

Renaming the Blackshark files to bl_ would sure make it easier on me. I can't keep hk_ and hm_ straight in my head.

I've been thinking about installing FLIR in the Blackshark, there is a KA-50N Night Shark variant with FLIR. Any opinions on that, guys? It can't really operate on night missions without a way to see in the dark.

"KA-50N Night Shark variant with FLIR"
imo the best and the simplest solution, yes please smile

I had planned on doing that too. Viper had made a new external model of the night version, with updated EO and flir.

Interesting, that we've all somehow ended up on the same page. It will take a lot of hours, going through the code and putting it all back in. I started on it, but I can't find the files now and will have to start over. Other than uploading the files to Master, I've finished upgrading the exported MFD's.

Hey Messyhead, I thought you were on vacation. Grin.

I am 😄

Well, almost. We drove yesterday to Leeds to catch the flight, which is later on today.

Maybe if we pull together on one helo at a time, we could do them to a pretty good standard. It seems there's a lot we could improve on the ka50, then move on to the Havoc, then .... what's next?

I remember someone started a cockpit for the mi18 which looked promising, but then it didn't go anywhere. And there's my blackhawk sadly unfinished.

Maybe copy gunner cockpit mi24 Without clickable, from 115.4 and steal new symbology for binocular view.

If you guys need a helping hand for the KA-50, I would also like to do my best with the things I'm able to do. I've seen, there were many small things I never really finished.

I also hope I will be able to do animations somewhere in future, but as far as I remember you had to have a good knowledge of the code also, to get animations done in EECH. I think this was the reason I never really tried it further again.

Of course I will also try do the work at the Havoc further in the background, then. Don't know if I could really help you, but if I could let me know.

Yes, that's also right Banita. Let's wait until we know more.

OK, I updated to the current Master, uploaded the external MFD changes, and recompiled everything along with Messyhead's updated KA-50 cockpit. It all works great! I like the way the side windows are open to give us more window to look out of, the older style cockpit was too restrictive. Couldn't see spit out the sides before.

Looking at a photo of a Blackshark from the right side with the pilot inside, he could barely see anything out that right window. His head was behind that label panel covering the lower back corner, taking up a major portion of his view. And yes you are correct, I think the head position may be a bit too far back. It's not too bad now, with the windows opened up in the new model.

OK, I found a better photo. The pilot has a decent view out the right side, our head position is way too far back.

I did change the head position, but I need to check if it's right. The angle to look down didn't seem right either, so need to change that

If we go further forward, it will need to go a bit lower too or you won't be able to see the gauges very well. It's more of a tall basketball player perspective right now. Grin. It works fine. I just like being able to look out the window again!

Here's another shot of the pilot.

Interesting how the cannon is on the right, but the the bigger, lower window is on the left.
