Hello Cubanace, I haven't been able to get this module to work when I select the aircraft nothing happens, I have installed the module into /saved games/dcs~~/OVGME MODS folder/ and installed via ovgme after ccreating a mods/aircraft/ directory for the mod.

Im running VPC-Airfield Equipment 0.9.4 beta in DCS2.5 with no problems, installed in /saved games/DCS.openbeta/ in a _mods folder for OvGME is thats what you mean.

Has anyone gotten this mod working in 2.5?

I'm so looking forward to this!

How are updates sent out?

So whenever I trim on either the MSFFB2 or G940 the stick will jump to another position (based on making the trimmed position center??), is this right? Shouldn't it work exactly like every other helicopter and just reset the spring forces to the new position? Any trim system that forcefully jumps the stick to a new position would be dangerous in flight. It really feels to me like the non FFB trim method hasn't been exorcised. Pls Hlp and sorry for hijacking this thread.

I have recently noticed that the cargo and controls indicator does now show up in VR but they have about a third cut off from whichever side is closest to the edge of the screen. Still usable provided you approach your cargo head on or from the right.

Hi Brainstormer, Unfortunately it seems the 1.5.7 and 2.1.1 version of this mod is only semi working - I spent a few hours the other day trying every iteration of the previous pages advice I could think of with no luck - but don't let that stop you! I don't have any cargo's or the landing pads - they were mostly all I used from this pack so I notice they are gone. Good luck~

Hey Billy, That's encouraging that its doable! The pimax 8K 200 degrees FOV VR set is gonna make life a lot easier - I'm lucky enough not to get motion sickness at all :)

Hey guys, Yeah I usually open the doors and slew my viewpoint off board a bit so I can lean out without hitting the view limits. I plan to build a seat with an arm rest that's included with some UH1 vertical reference kits for the left seat. Do you guys find it very hard/ impossible to fly with precision while looking out and down in VR? I'm hoping its due to lack of visual reference with the limited FOV and a big fat door blocking your view.

Hello, I have been thinking about doing sling loads in VR and despite the fact that the FOV isn't quite there yet. ( sadly Oculus' and HTC's 110 degrees doesn't give enough peripheral information to maintain attitude while you're head's overboard ( until the Pimax 8K is released with it's 200 degree FOV )). Quite besides the FOV issue the doors aren't removable and the wide floor pan of the huey seems to prohibit an adequate view of the load from your seat without slewing your eye point overboard without this sort of thing. So I figured a "reasonable" alternative would be a large mirror orientated towards the cargo as in this machine seen : I mean there is a pair of mirrors on the Mi8, why not enlarge them and share one with the huey? Obviously you guys are up to your eyeballs without even thinking about this sort of thing - but it would be appreciated by us CIV folks in a perfect world :) Thanks for an awesome pair of helis at any rate - Peace out~!

Hello, was the fuel shutoff bug fixed as Im still getting it :(

G940 FFB still doesn't work correctly for me regardless of settings.

Me too :) Heres a copy of the log, and the last line: DCS: Error running Scripts/Database/db_scan.lua: [string "./Scripts/Database/db_mods.lua"]:1297: attempt to call global 'merge_all_units_to_AGGRESSORS' (a nil value) dcs log.zip

Hello Mustang, Really enjoy your textures thanks for your hard work! I installed the pack on the first page of this thread and am not getting any grass textures showing up. Id like to download the latest version that on page 47 but the link is dead. Can you ploz post a valid link to the latest version? Thanks~!

Sorry Joey, do you mean morally or technically?

I feel that this thread is out of hand now, becoming a deconstruction of how people choose to try and communicate a dissatisfaction that hasn't really been adequately addressed. Miscommunication is rife. As TripRodriguez said, will the developer at least acknowledge these legitimate concerns regarding the FM? That would allay the concerns of the community that feel this issue. Both the Huey and Mi8 feel like dynamic systems when flying, with the appropriate interactions of controls and environment which is what actual helicopters feel like (I have 32 hours IRL helicopter 6-R22 26-H300 and countless in X-Plane). Personally I don't enjoy flying the Gaz the way it is. I really wana love it. Regarding the assessment of IRL Gaz pilots if they have communicated that the current FM is accurate, I wonder what flight hardware and experience with sims they have - whether they have properly calibrated gear with at least a VR rig (as the perception of heli flying on a monitor is terrible compared to VR). Well thats my take, and I feel strongly enough that I actually wrote this. Kumbaya~!

There are no differences between the "versions". The AP is just a stability augmentation system so it doesn't change the core flight dynamics, just helps the pilot by dampening responses/ maintaining attitudes. Even with the AP off (which is mainly how I fly) I do not find the flight model realistic. HTH

Say I wanted to try something for personal use? Is the only option to get 3ds Max and the .edm plugin?

I agree with the sentiment in this thread. There is not even a question of choose which version IMO. Advanced Flight Model "that simulates all flight phases and characteristics of the Gazelle" no compromises. I don't enjoy flying the Gaz at all in its current state. Sorry for the discussion but I feel strongly about this.

You can set a button on the joystick as mouse wheel up and down. I have a modifier on my G940 joystick so that it turns the D-pad on the joystick into scroll wheel up and down and D-left and D-right being the left and right mouse button's. Using a program called JoyToKey I have assigned the mini joystick on top as the mouse position to help manipulate switches that are hard to look directly at. Set the wheel buttons to repeat fast to make setting alt/ADF quicker. HTH

Thanks, I just realized that it doesn't even have a hook heh :)

Hello! Is the Gazelle going to support external loads? Also is the flight model still being worked on? Thanks!

Cool thanks for the heads up! That's something that I wouldn't have thought about - So does that mean that say editing the 3D Model to make the doors invisible is tampering with the model? So the only legal way to do it and share would be a texture mod which wont do the job. So the best idea is to approach Belsimtek I think.

Okay, minor update - I found a tutorial on DCS modding in the *suprise* DCS modding forums and am going to give this a crack. I won't make any promises.
