Very interesting! Thanks for the showcase! That’s exactly what I meant.

...sofern man die Ergebnisse gegencheckt bevor man handelt. Blind verlassen würde ich mich auf KI-Ergebnisse nicht. Die zitieren auch gerne mal aus uralten, völlig bescheuerten Reddit-posts. Aber um einen Überblick zu bekommen sicherlich legitim.

Actually, when I'm looking to the side to my wing tip. The missile is mich bigger than an Aircraft 1 NM away...... I can't really follow that argument. But hey, I've no clue. It's possible that you are right.

I get what you are suggesting, but why would that apply specifically to the missile/rails and nothing else? I have a little bit of ghosting with fast aircraft moving against the background with DLAA, but nothing llike the jittering of the missiles.

In my mind, G-HUB is an absolute crap piece of software that shouldn't be running if possible. Other's milage may vary. Only thing it is good for, is to keep the rainbow puke on my mouse at bay, but for that I'm not willing to compromise my DCS experience.

My perception from the video is, that there is much more wing tip movement due to the inertia of the missiles, but the connection between the missile and its rail seems rock solid. What I was going for ist that in the game the missiles jiggle relative to their rails. The momentum on the wing is missing for the most part. But that's just not a feature and no "bug" afaik.

I'm not so sure if the real world methods are applicable to a Joystick in front of or on top of a desk.... Trust me on that. The less resistence your stick offers, the better for helicopter flying. Ideally you would have a stick that has no/little/adjustable spring re-centering force and holds every postion you put it in (like a real world cyclic would), but that would need a FFB-Device like the VP Rhino of FFBeast (or the frinckin' Moza). VERY recommendable - but VERY expensive as well.... With a common spring loaded joystick, it is vital, that you choose the right trimming mode in the special options and learn how it works! You DON'T want to fight the stick!

Don't look at your instruments while picking up. Outside references are far more important and easy to pick up. This pressure rather than movement is the weirdest advise (for helicopters, at least in the sim world) I think I ever heard. Helicopter controls are light and often have no recentering spring at all (for a reason). I would also advise against a deadzone for helicopters. There is no distinct center position for a cyclic, so where is the deadzone supposed to be? Try to flatten the response curves for pitch and roll a bit. That may help with fine control around the middle. But keep it at bay. Maybe 10% max 20%. Make sure you do it slow. Have you tried the trim options?

Wobei ich glaube, dass sich die Problematik mit aktuellen spitzen Chipsätzen etwas entschärft hat. Der X870 hat so viele PCI-lanes. Würde mich wundern, wenn es hier ernsthafte Flaschenhälse gibt. Wenn ich auf die Schnelle lese, dass selbst Mittelklasse Boards mittlerweile 3x PCIx16 unterstützen....

Definitiv. Mainboards sind entsetzlich teuer geworden. Vor Allem wenn man eins in Vollfettstufe haben will. Es ist auf jden Fall wichtig die Specs genau zu studieren und sich auch im klaren darüber zu sein, wieviele M.2 z.B. man installieren möchte.

Nah, the proprietary Motor and Circuit Board are 179,- +VAT (€). When you can print yourself, you may add 50-100 for Mounting Hardware and Filament. Still expensive though!

Gutes RAM, ja. Aber nicht übertreiben bei der Geschwindigkeit. Nutzen ist überschaubar, die Stabilitätsprobleme nehmen aber exponentiell zu. 6400 MT/s ist das Maximum das ich empfehlen würde. Innerhalb der Geschwindigkeitsklasse, dann die best mögliche Latenz wählen. Ansonsten stimme ich uneingeschränkt zu. Was die Zukunftssicherheit angeht. 9000er CPUs laufen auf jeden Fall, und was danach kommt wissen wir noch nicht. Aber wenn ich es richtig im Kopf habe, wird AMD zumindestens noch eine weitere Generation für AM5 bringen. Die wird dann (mindestens nach BIOS-update) mit ziemlicher Sicherheit auch laufen. Keiner sagt, dass Intel CPUs nicht auch schnell sind. Aber Intel hat halt leider viele Baustellen und Schwächen offenbart (Degeneration). So lange sich diese nicht manifestieren ist ja alles iO, aber wenn ich mir ein neues System baue, würde ich derzeit trotzdem AMD wählen. Bin seinerzeit vom großartigen i7 4790K auf Ryzen 3000 und dann auf 5000 umgestiegen. Habe grundsätzlich kein Problem damit wieder auf Intel umzusteigen, aber im Moment traue ich denen einfach nicht. Vom ständigen Sockel-Wechsel ganz abgesehen.

...and there is quality differences in dampers. Some have a quite pronounced direction-change "hole". The one I used to have had this issue more pronounced the stronger the damping was set. If you want the "best-of-the-best", use a motorcycle Steering Damper (a quality one obviously) or apply a FFB mod to your Crosswinds (expensive). But first try Max' suggestion. It'll probably improve the issue.

Da kannst Du wohl den Geldbeutel und Dein Bedürfnis an Konnektivität entscheiden lassen. Einen Performance-Vorteil bringt Dir der X-Chipsatz über dem B-Chipsatz nur dann (und auch nur vielleicht) wenn Du wirklich tief ins Overclocking einsteigen willst. Etwas, was sich m.E. heutzutage kaum noch lohnt. Persönlich habe ich gute Erfahrung mit Gigabyte (bzw. Aorus) MB gemacht, aber da gibt es wahrscheinlich drei Meinungen wenn Du drei Leute fragst. AMD AM5 ist aber auf jeden Fall eine gute Entscheidung. Intel muss erstmal viel verpsieltes Vertrauen zurückgewinnnen.

Oh, and that realtime AntiVirus scans can cause hickups is common knowledge I assume.

Auf Deutsch heißt es “Dienste” und “Stromversorgung”….. Selbst wenn es für Dein konkretes Problem nichts bringt, ist auf jeden Fall eine gute Optimierungsmaßnahme. Natürlich entfallen damit alle Energiesparmaßnahmen….falls das wichtig für Dich wäre.

Do me a favour and try something very simple (quick fix and easily reversible if it doesn’t help) Go in the start menu and type services (assuming you run an english installation). Run the app Find the „Power“ service and disable it. Reboot and try if it is better in DCS. I would highly recommend to leave it disabled, but if you don’t feel like it, you can reverse it by enabling it in the same way.

That‘s a tough one. I don’t have a collective and use just the throttle. Initially I inverted the Throttle for helicopters to mimic the pulling motion, but that totally messed up my muscle memory. Ultimately, long arm -> more power, short arm -> less power. That would be my recommendation unless you get a real collective. (Which you don’t need to have a blast with helicopters imho). Your pickup problem sounds to me as if you haven’t mastered the coordination between inputs yet. You can‘t stop doing one while adjusting the other. The more collective you apply, the more anti torque pedal you need to give etc. That‘s not a shortcoming, just a lack of practice. Try to apply a curve to the cyclic to make it less responsive around the middle position. Make use of trim (and check the different trim options in the special options). For all the helicopters we have in dcs, the cyclic must be pulled back (about half an inch) for vertical pickup. (and a quarter inch to the left or right, depending on the the direction of your main rotor). Trim it in this position before trying to lift of. Your necessary corrections on the Stick (depending on length) should be mm rather than cm…..

It's a tough call. When I see how you get thrown around in a GA in MSFS, even in moderate turbulences.... a middle ground would be nice. The Air in DCS could be more lively. But I think that is more an issue of the atmospheric model in DCS and less an aircraft specific issue.

I know what you mean. The tendency to tip over sideways due to "sticky" skids. The best way to deal with that (imHo) is to actually know (roughly) where you need to position the cyclic for a hover, hold it there right from the start and then carefully add collective until it starts moving. Of course you need to counteract any tipping moment immedietly (but measured, not erratic). "Jumping" up to overcome the critical phase is a workaround, but I think it reinforces problematic habbits and should be avoided if possible. (I always imagine I have an accident victim with a spinal injury on board....)

Tatsächlich habe ich gerade Probleme verschiede Webseiten zu erreichen. Startpage.com z.B. Wahrscheinlich ist einer der großen DNS ausgefallen.

Hier geht's, lädt aber sehr langsam. Wahrscheinlich Provider- oder Routing-Probleme. Einfach abwarten.

It is really good advice to watch some videos on basic helicopter principles first, them some flying tutorials. Of course nothing keeps you from diving into the deep end and just hold-my-beer it in DCS. I mean, you can't really die. But I would recommend the first approach.

The main problem with different helicopters is that US/western helicopters have their main rotor turn in the opposite direction than eastern/some european models. In DCS that would be the Huey, Apache, Kiowa on one side and the Gazelle and Hip on the other. That's not a problem per se, but you need to apply anti-torque pedal to the opposite direction, which of course messes up your muscle memory (especially if you are not already proficient with helicopter flying). The basic stick and rudder (and collectice) skills you need for a helicopter are fundamentally different from fixed wing (well, before ETL or transition speeds - beyond that it becomes similar). You need to constantly balance the three inputs. There is no inherent stability.
