Thanks for the new DLL. Some improvement in handling when in the air, however, still sticking to the ground like glue. With 8/10 collective it starts to lift the back wheels and roll to the left onto it's side. So started in the air and was able to put it on the ground with about 7/10 collective. Putting the collective further down cause it to roll in my 'normal' fashion. I'm just using the throttle in invert mode. Same as I do for all my other helicopters with engines at full tilt all the time. So will keep doing airstarts and playing with it, thank you

HI Dweeb, Still struggling. Can start in the air and with adjustments to curves I can land it. Still have a problem that the collective, my right throttle on HOTAS Warthog, only has the latter 1/2 of it's 'play' that is effective, the visuals of the collective seem to come up until the 1/2 way, then go down for the other 1/2. Visuals are not the most important. However if I start from the ground the collective even at max is not lifting the aircraft off the ground, any adjustment around there then gets it to hop on it's front wheels and the aircraft rotates around the front ...stuck on the ground wheels and roll over to the right. By moving the collective I can scrape it up and down the runway, but it will not fly from there. Must be my set up, no 2 pc's are the same. Anyone else got anything similar....lots to play with here. But if I start in the air, it's great fun, and thanks

Hi Dweeb, Thanks for replying. Tried that and still ended up on my face and left rolling. So put +20 curves, deadspace 6 on the joystick, and pedals. Put it in the air and it didn't roll over. So now playing with my curves and trying to bring it in for a landing. Thoroughly enjoying it, RAF Chinook in grey green of course, show's how old I am haha. but really enjoyed my time alongside the Chinooks whilst I was in the mob, so thanks for an excellent model, and support

Can I ask advice on setting up controls. I use the Hotas Warthog with the collective being in reverse on my Right Throttle. But the Chinook, will hardly lift when I use it and the animation of the collective show's I'm lifting then dumping it? Also the pedals, have the MFG Crosswinds and the aircraft is rolling left or right almost as soon as I lift off....doing a short circular hop and then lying on my side? I have no problem with the UH-1, ka50 etc, So what am I doing wrong? LOVE THE MODEL Any hints appreciated

As I recall the creators buy a 3d model from say 'Turbosquid' or any other relevant site, and the do their best to get it to work. These models range from simple, not too expensive to.....you must be joking...! So in general we take what we get, and it could be that some people have bought the model and gifted it. But I wouldn't do any of that without contacting the person who would convert it, to find out if it can be converted into something worthwhile, hope this helps.

The flyable link failed, but thanks for this anyway

Thank you

Glad I found this thread, I was confused by the announcement as I logged to to play, but I've already paid for the channel map, this is an encouragement to those who don't have it yet....duh...got it! Thanks all

I understand that a lot of planes use the P-51 cockpit, see Markindel's various aircraft. I did say, As far as I know, no one seems to be doing other marks of any of the original aircraft. Hopefully a more knowledgeable person will be able to help further

I'm fairly sure no one has because it's a ED/issued so protected copyright etc AFAIK

Aye lost the RAF GSE trolley, eeeek, I used that a lot, but at least it does not stop us from opening the file and amending it. Got the RAF Truck and Rapier still with us. Would be good to get it fixed

Thanks for that razo+r, guess it saves an axis. As we have an AI, they could modify that without too much trouble, but better still would be a Flyable version, with the solid nose and guns,.....even if it is generally going to lose!

My tuppence worth, I like it a lot. It's a big unit and clamps to my game chair, right side, I have the warthog on the left, so I'm kinda flying left handed when I'm manipulating the Bravo, feels a bit wierd but hey ho, nice problem to have. It stays put, and very smooth in operation. I thought the lever's looked quite 'dinky' I have large hands, but actually once you start using it you can easily hold all 4 levers for excellent control. I got it mainly for MSFS2020 but decided to try it on DCS. I unplugged the Hotas so I have 2 sets of control set up for each aircraft without conflicts. It was an expensive purchase, but I would say very well worth the money. I've had other throttles that have felt more plasticy toy like, and they failed. IMHO this isnt and it has the flexibility to swop from 4 engine airliner to anything you want. Comes well packed and the alternative handles are in their own storage boxes for when they are not required. I did fork out £15 for 2 life size knob's for the Boeing 737, but you have to unscrew the handles each time. I gave up and got on with what was in the box. I did try and get two spare lever's but they do not ship parts from the U.S. to the UK so be aware of that. I have no idea if that will come in the future. Hope this helps Thank you Graf Spee for the explanation, I wondered why it was a switch. So won't be waiting for that, appreciate the reply

Razo+r, thanks for that info, my ignorance there. saves me hunting it out. Thank you

Perhaps it could be the JU-88C as used in the Bay of Biscay (See Bloody Biscay, Chris Goss) These aircraft fought regularly and there are a lot of both version on the bottom of that bay!

Was not sure where to ask this but here goes. I have a Honeycomb Bravo Throttle and yesterday I set up my WW2 A/C on it, for better engine control. However, there was not an axis on any of the aircraft that responded on the mixture setting. Spitfire/P-51-P47, bf109.....forgot the Dora, will do that today So I have Throttle and Prop set up on 2 axis,(axes?) but as the mixture in set as 'analogue' on some so it does not respond Could I ask for an axis to allocated in a future update please? Of course that would be multiple axis for the Mossie, Thanks

Glad to see it should work, will give it a go. Only problem I have is the game chair has my Hoyas on the left, honeycomb on the right, so I’ll have to fly left handed on the warthog (right handed) stick. Might take some getting used to, won’t help my landings much, but a nice problem to have. Is anyone keeping both throttles plugged in?

Brilliant, thanks. Remember sat outside Akrotiri ATC in Sept 79 about 5am, enjoying the sunrise and the U2 was being walked up to it's take off point, About 20 mins later the roar of the jet as it came down from the right, then before it had covered much of the runway, it tilted upwards and was away, climbing, literally like a rocket. We used to here it at Episkopi across the bay, but being right under it was something else

Its Flyable of sorts, a bit odd on the flight model (IMHO) but it is what it is, not so sure if the team have the time to work further on it. I generally use it as static item

No HUD pls, the one at The Northern Air Museum was never fitted, I'll take the bang seat, Capt's privilege and I ain't carrying any other aircrew so my conscience is clear! Looks lovely

Ain't no pesky critters gonna survive his first pass....at bit OTT, but THANK YOU

Initial release as static fine for me, now we have Akrotiri Cyprus, there was one sat for years over the other side of the airfield, it had been damaged at some point and used for battle damage repair I recall, but became unsteady on its legs, so the pyro boys had something to blow up! Don't thing the cockpit was saved at all. And of course you could take it back to pre Cyprus conflict 74/75 and have a pile of static Vulcans. Win win, thank you

Tried on a google translator and it's too big but it was a nice idea, thanks

I definately need a manual, thanks

https://www.pinterest.ca/maclean0525/tsr2/ Here's a link to many pictures and some colour drawings of the aircraft in projected colours. I have no problem with 'what if's", it would have been upgraded in the same way we had to upgrade every aircraft we've ever produced. There was and excellent article some years back in the annual Magazine for the RAF, had a whole 'story' of the TSR2 in service and the new missile systems it would have been able to carry. 'Fill your boots' as we say
