Combat Helo - Longbow VRCockpit first look

First look at the start of the Longbow Combat Helo virtual cockpit, this is the ETADS Longbow cockpit currently in service. Cockpit is TrackIR 6DOF enabled.

I'm still going through each of the 340 controls adding the command strings by hand and tweaking bits of code as I go.

There is no sound on this video. Hum something catchy if you wish.

Can campaigns be flown as Americans?

[CastleDeacon]

@cobrabase Yes. We used American voice actors.

Okay... stumbled upon you and am psyched. I want details regarding this software. Platform, specs, if this is on your own or if you are working with a solid team. Very excited about this - best Longbow sim potential since Jane's Apache longbow hands down.

Also... glad to see you are a tron legacy fan. drop by my site sometime ok?

@cobrabase We have a small team that's been working on this since Sept. We're aiming to provide a similar experience to Janes Longbow. You can follow daily reports on development on the site blog.

I just stumbled upon this, will be reposting like a MF. People need to see this. I wish you the best in your work and absolutely CAN NOT wait to play this. I am actually going to by one of those head gear things you're using to move around just for this and FSX.

@highbypass It will eventually appear as it should, with additional headtracter cues, LOS marker. But thanks for pointing it out.

Interestingly the game currently has TWO different horizon-line and pitch-ladder functions to choose from as I was never happy with either. When flying it becomes obvious, looking to the side looses the pitch ladder and horizon, which is when you need it most. So it never made sense in use.

So thanks again for the feedback.

@highbypass I think you posted to my devblog too? But I'll reply here too, you are correct and this is something that's been bugging me. I've got a handle on correcting the HMD thanks to feedback on the matter.

Excellent! The market is ready for a "blue-sided" chopper after DCS Black Shark got all of us interested again!

I cannot wait for this! OMG! This looks incredible! Good job.
