Thank you. Great job!
But I get "strange fence square patterns " in some places?

SI believe this would be a nice solution for people using twist grips with their joysticks for pedal input. This way you don't have to be holding tension on the stick, twisted all the time.
You twist to set pedal position and return to center to hold it there.
I think it will be a nice workaround.Well that's how “Central position trimmer mode” works with pedals. I don't have to keep it twisted all the time.

It also decelerates very slowly in VTOL when landing with 82 degrees - nozzles, even with full forward nozzles it's hard to slow down.
Can't be right to take out 82 deg. nozzles before the 90 in CASE 1, otherwise you overfly the hoover-spot, when manual states doing it in the groove?

Cool, thx.
Did you know... ? F-15C has marginal TACAN implementation only to get distance to the tanker with the cockpit switch animated and HUD indication.
That's the way it is in RL, you only get distance no bearing to the tanker, just like "yardstick".

F-18, if you press "sequence" on the HSI MAP, the F10 generated WP's will disappear.
-
What's the name for the "Landing light on/off" switch in the "Controls" assignments?...I can't find it.
-
HSI course knob is very slow. Unnecessarily time consuming when flying a heli. Please make it spin faster, like in the Mi-8.

Imo the AI gunner should be automatically taking care of this, it makes much more sense for him to monitor that then for the pilot.
How would he determine which program/interval/series to use? IMO this needs to be determined by a human, not AI who don't even know the mission goals & tactics
OP +1000 it's crucial in MP!

Yeah the controls bindings are messy, Pilot & Gunner control-assignments are put together in "Mi-24p Sim". There are no 2 separate cockpits controls like in the F-14. We need 2 separate cockpit controls, I've run out of joy buttons already.

Congratulations ED to a well done job! The Mi-24 is so far awesome.

It's awesome, after testing it for 2 days (14d trail) I liked it & bought it today. Petro is very nice, attacking with the Hind is a blast, FM has character! Can't wait for further development features.
Congratulations ED to a very good release
!

Pros: The AP will hold the heading you're on when you release the trim-button. Good for "straight forward heading-hold" flight.
Cons: Not so good in hover, slow-flight, flying sideways etc. Since you'll fight the AP YAW commanded heading.
I prefer to fly with YAW-AP off. That way it behaves like the Mi-8 & Uh-1.

CCIP works OK with S-5/8 & guns on my end. S-24 I cant get ccip. Just make sure you select the pre-made weapon-loadouts. Don't put things on the hardpoints yourself.

Dear all,
as always we would like to offer a feedback thread for the current patch. As always we appreciate your input a lot!Hey Mike I don't experience any hook-skips when fast/slow? Can you take a look? Great job with the "burble"!. (I thought it was better to start a new topic.)

NEW: Hook Physics
-
Added physics based hook model.
-
Hook will skip now if landing too fast.
-
Hook will shear off when arresting with excess kinetic energy.
-
Hook no longer clips through ground. (Spectators and RIO may notice some clipping due to network lag.)
-
Added collision shell to hook.
-
Hook can now be damaged by gunfire or explosions and detach from the aircraft.
-
Added spark effects and hook break sounds.
-
Hey HB & thank you for the new patch & especially the work on the new Hook Physics!
However. I did allot of Case1 test traps today & didn't experience any hook-skips when fast/slow. The only new thing was the "burble" (good job btw.!) but the trap-physics was the same as before the patch. I could be slow/fast & no hook-skips.
So I deliberately did 6 very fast traps with AOA ≈+5-9 & I trapped every time? Can you look into this or is it still WIP?
As you can see I'm way to fast, the "E" bracket is on the top of the Hud & AOA +8 units, way below the required +15 units.

Very nice & handy tool! For F-18 what elevation does it use on WPs? (set value MSL/AGL, random, 0?).

Hi
I am wondering when the mi-24p is released if it is worth the buy. I like to fly the Huey and f-16. I own the KA-50 but I am learning it still. Should I wait till it releases or get the Av-8 etc
Why buy it when you can try it for free for 14 days?...then you decide.

Have watched the 3 DCS Mi-24 Wags videos & I find the mirrors rotor-flickering & brightness quite disturbing.
Will it be possible to tilt the mirrors down/up, left/right so I don't have to see the rotor in them & eliminate the flickering?
(I know I can turn them on/off.)
Those pics suggests it's possible? but I dunno if ED thought of this?

Привет,
Можете ли вы сказать мне, почему на Ми-24 используется искусственный горизонт "западного типа", а не более распространенный "русский" искусственный горизонт, как на Ми-8? Спасибо.
(Извините за мой русский, я использую гугл переводчик)

Before preorder I want to see all the weapons employment. How AI Petrovich functions, his "anti-tank" skills, how switching seats works in SP. How multi-crew works & the gunners periscope sight user functionality. Then I'll decide.

Quite simply you're forcing the plane to the ground, you're coming in far too steep and absolutely slamming it into the ground, not only that your stick control is all over the place. The plane when trimmed correctly and setup correctly (in advance rather than immediately in the mission 1min to touchdown) floats to the ground with minimal input. For reference I'm flying on a TMWH with no extension.
This is pilot error, not FM error.
tl;dr: you're doing it wrong.No S##t Sherlock! maybe you don't know what deliberate means? Maybe you can show me how to land in a 50kt cross-wind?
Why y'all over-analyzing what was done before "over the threshold"? It's a fighter-jet not a 747 with "stable approach criteria". It's a fighter-jet, you get it down how the hell you feel like for test-purposes.
....it's what happens after touch-down when landing "hard", the bounce, that is unrealistic! Either the whole landing-gear should collapse & you could bounce a little, but not like a freaking football 10m up in the air!
Thanks for all the "landing" advice's but I had the 21 since release, & it's the module I have most hours in.....
1:st track, 21 landing in 50kt cross-wind with max turbulence. 2:nd short-field landing at heliport. Analyze this! or better, put up a track

going to F2 view right at touchdown probably didn't help with arresting the descent rate.
From the looks of it your problem is coming specifically from the nose gear slamming into the ground, maybe the suspension on it is a little too stiff, but again this is something I can't say I've ever encountered. I get slight nosewheel bounces (by slight I mean, barely noticeable), but maybe it's just down to flare timing
I was in the cockpit all the time, when I watched the track I went to F2, dunno why it came out like that...
Definitely something wrong with suspension IMO.
1 hour ago, MiG21bisFishbedL said:Well, that's more like 40% fuel I'd estimate. Certainly not 7%.
First landing had the sink rate way too high. 4m/s at time of touchdown. That's almost 800 feet per minute descent rate.
Second landing you kinda botched the flare. The saying 'butterfly with sore feet' is something to always keep in mind. It's also good practice to keep the chute deploy in your mind on landing in the same way you're ready to slam the throttle to the firewall on a carrier landing.
Third landing, you popped the chute too early. You were well over an aircraft height above the tarmac. Get nice and low, reduce sink to almost 0m/s, then pop it. You hit pavement at around 5m/s. 2-3m/s is what you should shoot for.
I've also noticed you aren't re-centering your gear handle to neutral.
That all said, you really did not give yourself much room to play with on that approach. Give yourself an actual landing pattern. What @Skysurferposted makes a great reference. Start in the downwind leg at about 600kmh to allow gear deployment. Be down to about 450kmh when you start your base. I'd actually recommend keeping 450 at the start of the approach and work down to 350 by the time you reach the fence. Once you begin the flare, you will hemorrhage that airspeed and it provides you enough energy to soften the landing to 2m/s.It was between 4-10% fuel in ME as I tested different fuel-loads, no way 40%!, 3rd landing was deliberate chute-before-touch-down to check suspension. Reread my post again, as this was a quick suspension test, not a check-ride including perfect traffic-patterns etc.
It's what happening after a little "hard" landing that is disturbing, the "strange bounce", if you're doing perfect landings all the time you never going to notice it. You've got to be testpilots.
Re-watch my video above & this & tell me why you don't see any bounces???
Former FM during touch-down was spot on IMO, the 21 has beefy landing-gear, it was build for landings on unprepared strips & "hard" landings. Currently it behaves like a 737.

Because this way is how the real aircraft works?
RL pilot gets a loadsheet from ground-crew saying exactly how many Liters it's in his 21 & he signs it. It's not pilots responsibility to refuel the aircraft, he's not standing there counting the Liters, now is he? It's ground-crew's responsibility!
Bottom line is he has a paper saying exactly the amount of fuel in his 21 & we don't have this in DCS Mig-21....how realistic is that?
