I just want to collect some information about which cockpits (or maybe helicopters) can be added into the game. It's not about which aircraft you would like to see in the game, but which cockpits you personally wish to try to add/modify.

I've seen some videos of attempts to add Mi-28N 3D cockpit, but not sure who did that. probably will be helpful to leave current cockpit/aircraft as Mi-28A and add Mi-28N with dummy cockpit from Ka-52

We have UH-60 cockpit made by Soczkien (available in 1.15.4), but as another similar cockpit development in the process, only way to deal with it is add new aircraft MH-60 as it has similar cockpit but can be used in different mission types

Mi-8 cockpit was tested years ago, should it get 3D cockpit as well?

Personally, I would like to add Reds lite recon helicopter (opposite to OH-58D), only choice I see is Mi-2URP with guided missiles. problem that it produced in Poland which is NATO now..

Good idea with dummy ka52 but imo much better add Ka50 with working radar. You have much less work with delete all unwanted items,and scene objects.
I don't see a problem with the Polish helicopter, it is a historic game and once Polish was on the red side

I think it would be good to have a full 3D MI-28 cockpit, as it's one of the main helos in the game. I can't remember who started it, I think it was Viper but I don't think he has time to work on things now. I did think I could have done it, but my Blackhawk one has taken so long to do, and I want to get it in some sort of playable state.

The UH-60 that Sockzien made is the UH-60M, with the updated digital cockpit. The one I'm working on is based around the special forces MH-60L model, with some MFDs, but dials too. I had planned to put it in the game as the MH-60L, and keep it separate from the existing model, so either the old one can stay, or be replaced with Sockziens one.

I actually found the MI-8 thread the other day, and work looked quite far with it. But there was no model files made available, and I think the author is off the forums now. So it's probably a dead project unless someone else can pick it up.

There's also your Hind cockpit improvements that looked good

There was a request a while ago to add the AH-6, but that would require a new model an cockpit, and I'm not sure it would add much just now. The US side has quite a few flyable cockpits already. The same thread shows a smaller Russian helo, is that a scout?

A long while ago I thought about adding British forces helos. They have the Westland Apache, Chinook, Gazelle, Merlin, Wildcat which replaced the Lynx. But it would be a lot of work with finding models and putting them in.

Ah, cool. You looked like you'd got it working partially, so that's a start. The dials and things aren't difficult to add.
