It is replaced in the external version though

If you start in a Gazelle that has HOT3 missiles but you rearm to 20mm gun and rockets, you don't get equipped with the pilot sight. This makes it less versatile in multiplayer.

Have just now twice had a DCS crash at the moment a HOT3 missile hit a Russian EWR radar. Description: Single player mission - DCs crashes when HOT3 impacts EWR 1L13 Unit. It does not crash when I kill the SA-9 next to it. DCS Version: 2.8.6.41066 Steam: Steam OB Map: Caucasus SP/MP: SP Reproducible: 2x Step to Reproduce: Hit other units fine. Crash on hitting EWR Mission File: MIZ attached. Target is EWR south east of airbase Controllers: Virpil Stick and CM2 OS: Windows 10 RAM: 32 Mods: None in mission Cauc Gazelle TOW Practice.miz dcs.log.old

Same, disappointed. I get why it's hard but it seems we were advertised something that wasn't delivered.

Not in wartime. If you need them on, call approach and as you say, they will turn on.

Yes. There are 2 sets of pyramids quite close to each other. You need the northen one.

Agreed: the new height map was one of the main attractions for me as a helo pilot but I don't see it anywhere. Seems to be a regular 50m mesh or more? Disappointing as we were specifically told this would be there. @OnReTech any thoughts please? All these shots were taken on the actual Sinai peninsula so I'd assume high detail there in the centre of the map.

so strange. we haven't managed it at all.

It isn't an issue about single player but single crew, even on a multiplayer server.

Starting in an Apache in Multiplayer and running server on the PC I'm playing on: No, it doesn't work. Tuned 133 and nothing.

I'm not joking. You basically have to trim it out, first roughly then using the hat switch for fine trim. But that neat hiding behind a building and just poking your sight over the top won't really work now if you're trim all the trim while using the periscope. And I have no springs in my stick so it's really difficult. On the plus side I got some first periscope kills in the open Sinai desert!

The new flight model and trim modes are probably good in multicrew but for us single crew players who hop between seats, please bring back the autohover so we can get a HOT3 off the rails in a stable fashion. Also the auto collective. I know it doesn't exist in reality but I'm just one guy trying to do both! Please please! And please bring back the Autohover Word on the controls display. Lastly, the turn towards target function often messes up or cancels the pedal trim and starts a bad spin.

That's a bit different: you're talking about two JTACs etc, I'm talking about 2 humans trying to listen to them. But yes, probably related.

Are you actually turning the Dust protector on?? Sand will cause engine fires.

That's interesting. Here's a mission where we can't talk to the JTAC. He is on 133MHz and we are calling from Apaches. It does work if we run it as single player. It rarely works if we run it as a multiplayer server and never if there are 2 Apaches tuned to the freq. MULTI Caucasus West.miz

Not fixed, works in SP, not in MP

Have tried too. At v slow approach speeds (like 17 mph) George was getting 100% of shots.

Just flew as pilot and let George shoot - at very slow speeds (like 17 mph) he scored hits every time. Seems you cant run in with the Lima like with the Kilo.

Thank you. I had to try it a few times but I got it working too.

These methods aren't working for me any more. Can anyone successfully enter MGRS into the Viper please?

yep about 50%

Works ok if I am in front seat. But George now misses half his shots.

Oh we finally have a weapon that can take out Tunguskas NICE!!

Ah thank you. It didn't work as I expected but I thought it was probably me just not knowing. Appreciated.

I'm not saying this is a bug at all because I don't know how the real ones work but the RF Hellfires do a big lateral curve in flight, shooting off to the left or right before curving back towards the target, even in a mission with no wind. Is there a reason I don't know about? Track attached 114L curve.trk
