Yes. These are the commands I have in Voice Attack so far.

I see the value of the George method, but the Apache is entirely lacking in this area in regards to individual keybinds for using VoiceAttack. You CAN map the AI controls in the KW to a hat stick, but it'd be very limited. Giving the AI a command to a heading WILL break orbit. Still going through the commands and mapping things for VoiceAttack

I matched mine up, and now I can orbit left, other issues persist

I've almost completely mapped everything, and using Voiceattack to control the AI pilot There's AI Pilot On, AI Pilot Off, and AI Pilot On/Off. Don't really need a toggle if using VA to say "Your aircraft"/"My aircraft", so the single command would be nice. AI Pilot On acts only as a toggle, AI Pilot off does nothing. Telling him to land does nothing if you are under way. Do I have to have him stop, hover, and then land? Should it be a combined command? Also what is the intended method to exit the orbit? I was able to exit by telling him to come to a heading, but there should be a keybind to just stop orbiting and take the current heading, maybe? Just the couple things I've found so far, and I've probably missed a few, haven't tested everything yet. Having lots of fun though!

From Bradmick... "The push pull tubes connect to arms on the servos and the servos are connected to the non rotating swash plate. There is zero direct connection to the swash plate from any of the flight controls. It’s why a loss of hydraulics results in a complete loss of control" And... "Yes, [Emergency Hydraulics] provides 30-41 seconds provided you move the flight controls at a 1hz rate, i.e. one full deflection per second. Now, since 100% of the SCAS is gone, you’ll be moving the flight controls pretty violently"

There is absolutely useless technical information when it's never going to be employed within the game. This is a FLIGHT simulation GAME, not Technical Service Bulletin simulator where you must inspect your aircraft before flight, submit paperwork to maintenance for needed repairs and problem corrections. You can honor the wasted efforts of openable hatches that no one actually playing the game will use all you want. All of the rest of us will be awaiting a feature complete module that follows the roadmap that was promised.

Isn't there an emergency hydraulics button just above the Power Control Levers? I don't think the cyclic and collective are directly connected to flight control surfaces like they are in the huey.

Ahhh yes, I remember my Evenstrain titanium gimbals fondly. I still miss that stick, but I sold it when I bought my Warthog.

Awesome, had no idea! Seems "no weapon" isn't the most intuitive option, but if it works, it works! Thanks!

You know what's better for full immersion? Fully operational useful systems, like all of the planned systems on the roadmap.

You may be speaking of ground elements found in the unarmed, which include things like fuel storage, or command tent. I'm talking about buildings built onto the map itself. Items that are there before the person creating the mission places anything. Buildings, bridges, train depots, etc. Map elements, as opposed to mission editor elements.

I was loitering around an area we were attacking after going winchester, there were still some targets, but I'm out, so I though I'll just lase some targets for the jets that had LGB's and laser guides rockets, but I couldn't. George won't lase a target if we're out of ammo. So maybe add Laser to the list of items I can have George WAS so we can buddy lase?

Not that I'm not appreciative of good work, but what purpose does this serve? Are we going to be changing oil and swapping turbines before we take off now? Are the graphics guys bored while the programmers fix bugs?

You would think with having someone on the closed beta test team that has ACTUAL REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE, that actually trains Army pilots to fly this thing, and has quite often detailed issues with the flight models, coupled with the many times ED has stated "apache flight model updates" that things would move in the right direction. Really no excuse that it hasn't, honestly.

Can someone clue me in how to make the embark/disembark work? My troops just stand there looking at the transport!

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-dll/ I don't know if ED is updating the DLSS dll with each update patches they're putting out, this one just came out late March, so it's after the most recent DCS update, but this caused a very nice performance/quality improvement for me.

I have tested on both Multiplayer, single mission, and instant action. On the multiplayer server, Same airport, Huey vs Apache. In the Apache, using L-ALT+' brings up the Rearm/Refuel menu, and the ground crew responds COPY. In the Huey, the ground crew does not respond. So it may be a Huey thing. Regardless if it's restricted to the Huey, or effects some or all aircraft, across some maps but not others, it needs to be fixed. KAZFACTORS Operation_Sandbox_V4.2-20240320-185626.trk

My test with the Apache worked ok. I also tested on an online server of ours, the Huey would not refuel with L-Alt+' but the Apache would. They both refueled with using the ground crew radio menu.

I have confirmed this to be the case with a few of the maps. Have not checked other aircraft just yet though.

You're misunderstanding, because the \ is for many more things than just ground comms (tanker, ATC, wingman comms, etc, all of which are in-air) Scenario for you to try... Go into DCS, Instant Action menu item, Select the Huey, select map Persian Gulf, click on FREE FLIGHT. Once on the ramp, click L-ALT+' This will bring up the rearming and refueling window, set the fuel to 50%-ish, hit OK. (no sense in trying to re-arm, the helicopter is set up as civilian in the mission editor for this instant action) Your pilot will request refueling, and request rearming (even though you didn't ask for it) You will get no response. Now... Since that didn't work, press \, Press F8, press F1, you will get the SAME Rearm & Refuel window, but this time it will work, ground crew will respond with COPY and perform the tasks.

Not sure why there's a difference, but using the Communication Radio menu -> Ground Crew -> Rearm and Refuel leads to a different window than Left-Alt+' If you use L-Alt+' sometimes you will get no response from the ground crew. And yes, I tested engines off, door open, as well as running with radios on. This particular situation was a hot start helicopter, a Huey to be specific. You just hear the pilot requesting the services. Without changing anything else, if you use the Radio menu, they respond with COPY right away. Is it not just two methods going to the same place? One using the Radio menu, the other using a Keybind?

The option of either would be great. We used to do SAR in WWII Online because it effected your score/status as a downed pilot. If you were shot down and killed, it was counted as a KIA If you went down and survived, but chose to 'despawn', it counted as an MIA If you went down and survived and chose to call for help, there were guys who ran trucks around the map just picking up downed pilots, so they could be RTB'd. You could also walk back if you weren't too far away from a friendly base/town. I don't recall what the penalties were for not RTB'ing from an MIA, I think it was a respawn delay. I remember later that not bringing that plane back meant you couldn't take it up again, and might be forced to take a hurricane instead of the spitfire you sank in the channel.

I've not run into many people from that era over here. I think you're the second one. Glad to see you're still breathin'. Looking at the Blue Skies thread on agw, quite a few have moved on.

What I'm seeing in Multiplayer is that I as pilot load it up in the Rearm/Refuel and load Limas, but my CPG gets FCR NOT INSTALLED on his FCR page
