Question regarding the HIND Dice modeled.

Solid Knight · 11-13-2008, 06:27 PM

I'm currently modding the HIND for my personal enjoyment. I'm trying to line up the camera with the sensors (FLIR, as I believe they are called) the trouble is I'm not sure where it is on the Dice HIND model. I suspect that it's in the round black thing to right of the gun if you're looking at it from the front. Can anyone confirm its location?

use real reference pics?

yeah that's what i've been thinking that it is. dunno for certain, though.

Yeah, I've been looking for reference pictures and have yet to come across one that has an arrow pointing to the sensors. It's easy to find it on the Super Hind though.

Well I found out that that big lump on the right side is a poorly detailed and poorly modeled sight for the anti-tank missiles and only the anti-tank missiles. It's supposed to have some doors that open up an expose the camera/sensors when the ATGMs are being used. I'll set the missile camera over there. Still need to know where the camera for the gun is.

in this model you can see it right at the nose

/also the Mi-24PN is the only one with FLIR cameras it seems
//teh balck dome is a sensor and laser module not a camera since its static.

the PN is a nato upgraded version I think.

It has to have some sort of camera otherwise the gunner would have a hard time shooting. He gets a video feed from somewhere. The armored doors on the bottom left go to the missile's controls.

The gun camera is the bubble on the left wing tip.

those sneaky commies putting cameras in the weirdest places...

That's for sure... How do they see on the other side of the craft or does the gun not rotate far enough for that to be a problem?
I really wish Dice would have modeled a FLIR orb on the left side of the gun.

Turns out they didn't model the gun sight either... and they modeled the UB-32 rocket pod but in the .tweak file the refer to it as an S-8 rocket pod even though the s-8 rocket is too big to fit in the UB-32...
