I think I've fixed the keys for the MFDs now when using the cohokum-BH.exe. I've also amended the keys slightly. The reason it worked in the debug.exe, was that when making a debug build Left CTRL/ALT/SHIFT and Right CTRL/ALT/SHIFT can be mapped to different keys. But when making a non-debug build (e.g. cohokum.exe) the left and right keys are effectively the same so it doesn't matter if you press left or right CTRL/ALT/SHIFT (with one small caveat noted below).

  • [ - main MFD next display
  • ] - main MFD previous display
  • CTRL + ] - toggle main MFD on/off
  • ALT + [ - top MFD next display
  • Left ALT+ ] - bottom MFD next display (see note below)
  • SHIFT + [ - top MFD on/off
  • SHIFT + ] - bottom MFD on/off


(Note: whether you use left or right ALT shouldn't matter. However there seems to be a bug where Right ALT is acting as CTRL. Left ALT acts as it should, so use that instead. This happens in all cockpits, not just Blackhawk)


The latest update also includes Rapota's Blackhawk model, which is a huge improvement. Just see the rotor head detail to see how much better it looks.

It also includes the rotor blades and weapons visible from the cockpit - Note however these are in the wrong position. I'm looking into working out how to reposition them. But like everything in this code, it's buried somewhere.

The same download link works, just download it again to get the update files.

Small update made, and the download link in the first page will get you the latest files.

This just changes the MFD keys to keep them inline with the existing keys. I've updated the keymapping in the 2nd post.

I've created a new post for reporting issues, and I've moved all of the posts so far about issues into it. Please use that from now on to report or discuss any issues.

Another update available at the link on the first page.

The archive changed slightly, so you should be able to unzip this directly over your game folder and replace the files.

Updated items:
  • Weapons and rotors now visible from cockpit
  • Controls animated
  • Pilot and co-pilot models added
  • Cargo doors animate from inside and outside cockpit
  • Changed the position of the red beacon light on the lower tail to match the light position on the model
  • Changed the beacon light on the top of the tail to white
  • Limited the FLIR/DTV view range. It was possible to look 190 degrees and take a selfie biggrin

Another update available from the download link.

  • Animated wipers added for the pilot and co-pilot. Ignore the slightly wonky animation. Animating things in Lightwave isn't easy, or I don't know enough about how to do it (I wish I could use Blender instead). But if you're staring at the wipers in flight, you've got bigger problems biggrin
  • The pilots hand and controls are no longer visible in wideview mode.


I'm working on getting the rain to show on the windows. But as with everything in this game, it's proving to be more difficult than it should.

Hi folks. Is anyone requesting the original files for this?

I keep getting a request to share them on my Google drive, but not sure where it’s coming from or if it’s genuine
