Yeah I recently moved the install, changed from OB to Release and did a full repair to try fix a mission editor freeze. The FPS counter had been not showing up for a couple of weeks before that. Might have to do a clean slate install.

Heya, that doesnt work either.

Hello, When I hit RCTRL+Pause or any other assignment I set the FPS counter doesnt show up in both VR and normal. Running DCS 2.5 release, though it stopped working when I was running the open beta too. The RC has a new Saved Games profile. Thanks!

You are doing the right thing, do you have multiple installs of DCS? Check that the name of the folder in saved games matches the name in the file called "dcs_variant.txt" in the main game install directory. HTH

Thanks mate! Increased pagefile to size of RAM but its still happening, I have figured out I can hit CTRL+S to save and then CTRL+O to re open the mission which seems to wake it up so thats at least an improvement from having to restart DCS.

Thanks Ian! I didn't realize about the pagefile, I have made a new saved games folder and it still freezes! I found some shortcuts, so I can hit CTRL+S to save and then CTRL+O to re open the mission which seems to wake it up again, which is a lot better than having to end task and restart. Ben

Hey, For the past few months I have had this issue in the ME where it freezes up and becomes unresponsive to all input. If I click on the map it will display the ground elevation otherwise it remains static. If I click on a unit the window shows up to the right but disappears when I click on it. The only way to recover is to end DCS in the task manager. I have tried repairing my install of DCS but no luck. This issue occurs within 5 minutes of using the ME and the only way I have of working with it is to make a single change then launch the sim and repeat. So far I have moved and cleaned, repaired the install, updated all the drivers, toggled all the mods off and its still happening. Any help would be hugely appreciated, as I am at a loss. Right now I am updating it from the Open Beta to the Release version and hope that fixes it. Thanks! Ben dcslog3.txt

Dayum! IMO the FM is terrible and needs an overhaul. The module is useless to me as is. /sigh

Just finished moving install to a more reliable drive and repairing install and its still crashing. Log Attached, any help would be hugely appreciated. dcslog (2).txt

Here is the log file :) I am currently moving my install onto a different SSD as the one it is on rated poorly in some performance tests, and I recall a year ago getting corrupted downloads when downloading to this drive. Considering how this issue seems rare, I am guessing the SSD is to blame. Will update with outcome. dcslog.txt

I have looked for solutions but came up empty handed, I have been through all my mods loaded with OvGME, toggling them one by one and all off etc. but still this issue persists. I thought I maybe got it when I unloaded the Persian gulf noise textures fix but Its returned. Any help would be hugely appreciated, as I am at a loss. Thanks! Ben

Don't quote me, but I remember somewhere on the forums a guy who was an actual Ka-27/25 pilot remarking that the flight model felt spot on to him. As well as previously mentioned ED worked with the Kamov design bureau. HTH

Me too!

Would also love a copy of that template! :)

I found this mod greatly improved my VR performance. With my FX8350 and GTX1070 the CPU was bottle necking the GPU and this mod allows me to run higher shadows and msaa while keeping my 38fps. Great Job!

Thanks! I Agree it looks absolutely gorgeous!

What weather setting controls sea conditions?

Hello Polychop, Beautiful model you have made however I am concerned about the fidelity of the flight model and the FFB implementation. When I activate trim, the joystick will often jump to a seemingly random position which is counter intuitive for helicopters, when you activate trim the stick should stay in the position you have trimmed it. I have tried it both with G940 and MSFB2. These are longstanding issues that I have not seen improved, and further I saw a statement saying that the FFB implementation was final which worries me. I look forward to your reply and really wish you guys the best! Ben

Just to point out, in my experienced opinion I am unimpressed with both the flight model, the joystick implementation and the force feedback implementation. I absolutely adore the gaz in theory but it just doesn't fly like a helicopter. Bare in mind that what I want from the module is authentic flight modelling, not so much the weapons, so that's where my analysis is coming from. Hope this helps you. Ben :)

Hi FragBum, I don't want to go OT but I do have a lot of experience flying helicopters both full size and simulated (X-Plane helicopters and DCS) especially relating to training via simulators. To sum up how I feel about the Gaz is it doesn't feel like a dynamic flight model at all, the joystick response feels wrong in almost an on off way no matter what curves I run and the FFB mechanism doesn't work at all. I have used both G940 and MSFFB2 joysticks that are modified to emulate helicopter controls and VR. I fly DCS for the helicopter's, and I have spent a lot of time trying different settings with this aircraft and it always feels wrong. It really spoils the great work they have done otherwise IMO. Belsimtek on the other hand have done a brilliant job and I really hope the B0105 has the FM done right when it comes out. Hope this doesn't piss anyone off.

I'd personally be happy if they added sling load capability. IMO, the flight model and mag trim implementation in the Gaz is a mess so I don't really enjoy flying it. I have actually asked for a refund towards another module but was denied. I wish Belsimtek could re do the FM (not to go on a tangent) I totally agree that DCS is far superior to other sims like X-plane in scenery and VR performance. The argument about no civ in combat sims is redundant as far as the utility helicopters go due to the fact they are so versatile.

Nice!

Interesting. I have been using Holton181's cargo view mod which I think is awesome, but I think the solution is probably getting a VR headset that has a wide FOV, like the Pimax8K, so you get more visual information for vertical reference flying. Currently it's like looking through toilet paper rolls.

me too as well as the Hip

Where is this model available from?
