Hi @Qnnrad. Not sure whether its worth checking, but I think there may also be a difference dependent on whether cruise mode or transition mode is selected? Was messing around last night playing with some static objects (just started looking into this side of things so my mind was fried!), went for a quick test flight and was in cruise mode - and not sure whether its purely my imagination playing up - but things seemed slightly more stable. Of course I could be talking pure c**p and more wishful thinking on my part - but when I went back to transition mode, accelerated and pulled back into the hover, back to some very weird oscillations. This without any 'hotfixes' mind.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see....

They managed to decrease the stability quite easily...

Not really! Its 'better' - but I still think something is off - but cannot put my finger on it. It just doesn't seem as controllable and responsive as it was. What is frustrating is that there have been 2 further updates and nothing in them for this - so its either something (deeper) or nothing (worth bothering about immediately). I would think if the latter though a quick fix would be rolled out.

Love the phots - they really take me back...! It would be awesome if they could/would - but I fear there are so many similar requests they will be overwhelmed. Guess we just had too many bases in W Germany! Though would hope they would relent for 3 AAC locations (noting Hildesheim is on there already - and could probably get away without Wildenrath).

Hi @Flappie any joy with the above or is it worth reporting in a separate thread - as still broken. Now we have the cold war map more UK units are definitely a must...the 5 RAF squadrons just don't cut it.

Ah well - we got Salamanca (ish) but couldn't see a dam!? Had a play with the static objects to see if I could recreate the airfield but they're too limited. Found this photo on t'interweb - few Lynx and Gazelles outside. Love the fact you can see the oil slicks left by the Lynx on the dispersal!

Good find - and good video.

Hi @Qnnrad. Had a play around with your hotfix. One thing I have noticed is that when in a low hover and with minimal speed - I would estimate something under 5 kts - the IAS indicator on the IHADSS reads 0. Noticed the same pulling into the hover - it reduces down then suddenly 'snaps' to 0 - despite there still being some drift/fwd speed apparent. Will remove it back to original and see if I get the same.

Judging by the amount of comments about can 'I have this airfield/that airfield' etc - what about a lot better selection of static objects similar to those seen in game (so hangars, barrack buildings, standard perimeter fencing etc) so we can make our own (or at least create something passable)? The current selection is pretty poor and more geared up to Gulf/Afghan rather than 'peacetime' Europe/BAOR. Seems this map has stirred up a lot of memories for those of us that has first hand experience of living/serving during this period.

Try this if not already found it... A-10CII - 81st FS / 91st TFS European One Camouflage 81st TFW, 510th TFS RAF Bentwaters, UK

Very similar experience here (less the initial stutters). Low level in an Apache around Dortmund across to Hildesheim, Braunschweig and over to Helmstedt - so a good mix of forest and built up areas with nothing untoward being noticeable (which is not my current experience in the Iraq map ). Did find a tank range just slightly NE of Braunschweig Flughafen - the targets do fall when hit (well some of them anyway).

TM Ava. Edit: Massive improvement over the original Warthog stick base I hasten to add.

For me currently not a problem. Single player only.

DIsagree. At first I did think something had changed for the better but wishful thinking on my part. That instability is still there and creeps in if not ready for it. Thing is - in my experience - there appears to be no 'constant' - one minute there can be a small deviation and the next it amplifies itself. Have downloaded @Qnnrad hotfix so will give it a go. Thanks to @Qnnrad for doing the research.

Hi @MoleUK TBH not sure. Things do seem a little better but not entirely 100%. I think it may be fact I am flying over Mosul low level in the Apache - lots of built up areas and straight lines and edges that are possibly amplifying what I am seeing. When I first noticed it - I can only liken it to someone holding me back as if I was trying to run, then letting go - repeatedly though at quick time speed - so 'slow-mo/wading thru mud' then jump forward. I don't appear to get the issue in any other map so maybe Iraq/built up area specific. I capped my FPS to 120, both my monitors are 1920*1080 @120hz - but will start reducing it down to see if there is any noticeable affect/improvement. Edit. Just spent an hour or so flying around Northern West Germany - no problems whatsoever. Swapped back onto Iraq - slightly different now but still the odd issue - in that as I lift there are a couple of big pauses, then it seems to right itself.

Don't jinx it! All started yesterday when everyone went all 'Deutschlandic' in over zealous anticipation!!! But...

Was getting exactly what is shown in the video (though 2d so apologies for jumping in) - but only in the Iraq map - so unsure what changes to make if any. Will try the ultra latency and limiting FPS in the NVCP. One thing I did do was to disable the Nvidia 'Overlay' in the Nvidia App - that did appear to make things slightly better - though whether a placebo or not remains to be seen. I originally thought it was part of the new DCS/NVidia tie up - until I opened the app up.

@AJH63 - I truly believe you have started something here - how high can you go and drop what on what...I am now going to have to jump back into the A10 to have a play!

In addition to that of @NeedzWD40 (especially the "I need extra power to get 100% fuel, 1200 rounds of 30mm, and 16 missiles off the ground!" ) believe those times and min/max values will feed into any pilots post flight report - ie xxx% torque recorded for so many minutes on No1 Engine/I entered the 6 second band for 3 seconds etc. Whilst there are bands of 'allowable' limits and the implications to the aircrew may be minor - those values will be fed into the maintenance policy for the aircraft resulting in either a lot of work for the maintainers or the life of certain components in the engine/transmissions could be reduced. So in essence you're allowed a certain amount of limited time in certain output bands (Ng/Np/Tq/TGT/Nr) plus incursions into transient zones with possibly no penalty - but if you exceed it or enter it so many times then you may need to start doing some type of penalty maintenance on the components. The intent is aircrew/aircraft survivability - knowingly allowing limits to be exceeded - you may end up having to do some internal inspections or worst case reject an engine but you have your driver and aircraft back. Now, sometimes pilot reporting in instances such as these can be historically described as 'not the best' flavoured with a little bit of poetic license so Health Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) has been introduced which record all these values automatically, and post flight the maintainers interrogate it to see what values have been reached - the download system flagging exceedances which then need to be cleared with appropriate maintenance being undertaken. It cuts out the ambiguity of "Chief - I might have had an overtorque. I think I may have ..." to a definite idea of what had happened.

@Martallica In addition to SilverDevils - are the crashes occurring only after adding the third MFD? Just a thought if thats been added and then the crashes started occurring? PSU 850w should be enough but not sure of the draw of all your various peripherals? PSU failures can be a pain sometime to troubleshoot. I have been adamant my GPU was up the swanny previously due to the symptoms and it turned out to be the PSU.

@Martallica Out of curiosity what size PSU do you have, and when you say crash - is it just DCS or the whole PC goes into a shutdown/reboot? Where is the power to the USB coming from - is it a separate mains supply or also out of the PC? Have you upgraded anything recently (either software or hardware), and tried removing any mods you may be running? When you say campaign - which one and which aircraft are you flying? I had similar last year and it was purely down to overheating - initially fixed by popping the side of my case off and directing a small USB powered fan into it. Permanent remedy was to upgrade my cooling fans in my case (and hoover out all the dust from the intakes!).

My CPG does! Not too sure of the range - possibly around 3 1/2 km - both in the open and in a treeline. (Edit Update - just flew a mission in the 4 Horsemen - CPG identified enemy infantry starting @3.6km).

You sure about that?

Was going to promote the dying fly manoeuvre - where I flip the aircraft onto its back in an effort to confuse the enemy into thinking I am no longer a threat to stop any attempts to seriously harm me with AAA... (apologies but couldn't help myself!).
