@DCoffey This is probably aimed at anyone with flight setup problems, Newbies etc. Hope it can help. Ive spent a lot of time recently with this machine along with @swartbyron and its so sweet. First thing I noticed is the Autopilot, I have mapped it and usually leave it off, only bringing it in for weapons delivery to utilise the Hover. It resolves a snap like effect of the heli, which may also be the "glued effect" on the ground? Second thing is 50% fuel transorms it, but its still very capable with a full fuel and weapons. Third thing, Trim reset.....I find it invaluable when transitioning into Landing turns and it very quickly becomes natural to reset trim when you have achieved new flight position (mapped to tms aft switch on stick). Also holding the trim in when transitioning does the same thing, I had NO idea you could do this...... but on my joystick it does loose connection occasionally. Settings are based on my setup I have a Virpil collective with Alpha LH grip and a Warthog Joystick with a 200mm swan neck extension. Crosswind Yaw/rudder Pedals These all relate to right hand sliders Deadzone, Saturation X, Saturation Y, Curvature of all your axes Roll 0 - 50 - 100 - 10 Pitch 0 - 50 - 100 - 10 Yaw 0 - 100 - 100 - minus10 Collective 0 - 50 - 100 - minus 20 (invert - this maybe just a Virpil requirement) Special settings Cyclic trim type instant, Pedal trim type None If its still too twitchy, then try deadzones on Roll and pitch of 4 each. Just a couple of fingers on the stick Roll and pitch error for the above, Sorry. Just realised after re-programming collective after new Apache Grip today Roll 0 - 100 -50 - 10 Pitch 0 - 100 - 50 - 10 Regards Regards Nimbus

Thankyou thats cleared that up nicely!!! I thought I was number 2806 sometime next millenia

Have you uninstalled the old Gazelle and then install it again...this solved a lot of problems for me, which sound similar. Regards Nimbus

Yes have you received it yet... Im trying to tie in the Grip serial number to the last four figures of the order number.

My Virpil Order number is 0211232338, which I presume is date of order 021123 and the build number 2338?? Can anyone relate that to be correct to their serial numbers?? Another 2 weeks Regards MikeM

Any others with delivered Collectives care to chime in please?

LG screens reduce it via settings and can be set to auto. If it isnt the screens, Monitors its the damned phones!! Regards

Just check the Virpil Compatability on the website. VIRPIL UK - VPC WarBRD Grip.html VIRPIL UK - VPC Constellation ALPHA.html

Awesome....Almost a drive for me!!

All working thankyou Scott!!!

OK so in VR specs below, Closing a game crashes DCS in VR and I cannot click the box to send info to DCS can tab around it and never into the box to click it?? Also the cursor in game now is restricted typically outside the Ihadds area in the apache. Cursor disappears anywhere inside from pilot knees to top of panel. Flew perfectly in Apache last night on South Atlantic server. Done repair and still same Regards Nimbus dcs.log-20240124-112214.zip dcs.log-20240124-123508.zip

Yes I posted this the other day Just demonstrates to me how good the Polychop Gazelle is... sounds are spot on and the flight model is way better!! Regards Nimbus

Ordered Nov 2...nothing yet.

This is just perfect!!!!!! This SIM gets me through so much Crap!! !!!!!

Just Watched "Mover" in the OH6 Video.......Someone PLEASE make a landing pad trailer for this Helo!!!!!!!! Vid Link here!

I tested the Crucial unit I have just fitted yesterday and the difference in speed is visibly noticable ( I only had 20Gb spare on the original 500Gb SSD). So now I'm running main C drive.... 2TB Crucial P3 M.2 . As DCS grows in Maps etc, I will move this to being the sole DCS drive. I am also buying ahead of the current PC specs to reduce impact for the accountant DCS currently ... 1TB Evo SSD Original drive now Spare drive 500GB Evo SSD (backup system for the time being) Early days I know but if theres any change, I'll come back on and report it. Regards

Awesome, thankyou the missing link is now complete...I do have the game on a 1TB SSD separate from the new Windows M.2

OK all done using Disc Genius!! thanks for your help!!! Ironically the two sata's were installed on sockets 2 and 3 Last question please... Should DCS also be on the C drive? Regards

Thankyou The Drive I'm removing is Sata slot 1...so this should work out nicely footnote below nothing on the Socket 1

OK this has me pondering Somewhat...Delivery today will be a 2TB Crucial P3 M.2 (22x80) PCIe 3.0 (x4) NVMe SSD, 3D NAND, Read 3500MB/s, Write 3000MB/s 7TY6N. I have purchased this from Scan after talking to their Technical section yesterday. Currently my C drive is a 500Gb Samsung Evo 860, which is full...... D drive a 1TB Samsung Evo 860 . D drive holds DCS solely. Plan is to replace the C drive with the new Crucial P3 M.2 and also drag DCS onto that, removing the original 500Gb C drive, and having DCS totally on the new C drive. This PC is solely for DCS and Condor2 (3 shortly). Motherboard is Asus B460M-A which will be the next upgrade on the PC. Anyone seeing any problems here please? Also any tips for sequence of the above process will be greatly received. Regards Nimbus

Ive just emailed as well...thankyou!!
