    Huey Bell UH-1 Helicopter

    Ah I see. Yeah I guess they look better in the turret. I'm pretty sure you need the targeting ball/pod to use the TOW missiles. You lock on with it and you can also steer the missiles with the direction pad. You should be able to restrict the yaw and pitch movement of the turrets by right clicking them in the SPH. I would imagine they would still hit the target as long as you are facing the target in the allowable cone of fire which I think is also displayed on the targeting screen.

    I can upload the craft file for the Huey Gunship if you like. I tried to make one with TOW missiles, but apparently the TOW launch is a turret, so when I tried to fire a missile I destroyed the helicopter with the exhaust.

    I will probably build my own version at some point although it will be pretty similar to the original rather than being authentic. Is it not possible to mount TOW's straight on winglets without the TOW launcher?

    Very beautiful, Redshift!

    Would you like to build a camo version as well using KerbPaint?

    Would be nice to see my Hind and your Huey in a battle.

    Thanks, that is most appreciated. I haven't used Kerbal Paint before but I might just do that. I didn't know you had built a Hind! Do you have a link handy?

    The interior of the helicopter is stunning! Nice use of probe cores too.

    Thanks, I could have made it better but I got a bit fed up of it towards the end. Other people like Azimech or Major Jim tend to make better interiors than me. I just wanted Kerbals to hop in and out of it at will.

    Woah cool! I tired it with 2 chain gun turrets hanging out the sides but promptly shot down my own craft. :D I'm not sure if that is a bug with BDA and 1.1.3 as its not supposed to do that. I'll try and land on the carrier with it when I get Vessel Mover working again. Makes me wonder if it's worth making a Kerbal Vietnam pack with some of your fighter planes.

    Here's my attempt at a Huey replica. The only mod needed is KAX for the rotor blades.

    165 parts, (6 are jettisoned). 11.11 tons. Seats 2+8 Kerbals.

    Hot key 1 toggles rotor engines.

    Remember: The last Kerbal you put in a seat is the pilot. If this Kerbal is in a side seat don't forget to change control to a front facing Kerbal or the control ring near the main rotor or your controls will be reversed! I forget this all the time. :D

    Looking on Google there are quite a few variations of seat layout so I just went with the one I liked the look of. You can easily move/add/remove your own seats. It's not a perfect replica but I wanted to keep the part count down and it was hard finding the right parts for a helicopter that matched the scale of the Kerbals.

    The actual craft will look like below. This is to allow easy loading of Kerbals.

    I know it isn't exactly proper to immediately request something like this, but I would love to see more of these, especially the AH-1 Cobra and the UH-60 Blackhawk (the best helicopter in the entire world).

    Are you going to put more seats in or just leave it at the two on either side of the transmission? The Huey has two seats on the sides, as well as four across the front of the transmission, and most have two jump seats opposite those.

    You mean like this?

    Yeah I can do that. I did like the look of an empty deck but I can upload variants if you wish assuming the Kerbals fit ok.

    Hate to hear that.  Would have loved to use something like this in my military RP group on Facebook but one of the rules is no clipping

     

    I'm happy to make an adapted version. I'll keep a pair of engines at the back and a pair under the wings.

    Thanks for the comments! I clipped the engines together to keep the aesthetics but maintain enough power for horizontal flight but I could always put them underneath the wing or something. I'd just need to move the Panther engines to rebalance vertical thrust which is easy enough.
