To run the module you need to have the 1.2.9 30604 version in your DCS World. So if you installed the Sabre on top of 1.2.8 it is creating a problem now. Check on the modlue manager if the F-86 is installed. If so, Unistall it using the basket symbol Then close DCS restart it again and try a trpair and then an update. Only when you have managed to upgrade your DCS World t0 1.2.9. 30604 try to install the module. I recommend using the Module manager for downloading and installing the Module

Have you tried a repair on your DCS World? What is your actual DCS World version?

F-86 Sabre works in multiplayer nicely

:D You could have not expressed it better. :thumbup::thumbup::pilotfly:

Very interesting. Surely a great airplane and very useful for jet training and aerobatics. :thumbup: Buena suerte!!!!

Hi guys. On my virtual squadron we are developing a dynamic campaing with a strong logistics component. However we have a trouble with knowing the actula stocks of an airbase Wharehouse AFTER the combat. We would like to know if there is any way to screate a script that would tell us what where the stocks on such and such wharehouses (Airbases..Farps...wharehouses) just the moment the combat ends or few minutes before. We would need to know how many Aircrafts (number and type) how many such and such weapon units remain on that wharehouse stock. Since while ingame it is possible to call each wharehouse stock on F10 and knowing exactly what is is avalaible on it and in which numbers, I wonder if it would be possible to have a script to let us know somehow what was avalaible and not used on the wharehouses at combats end. Any help or suggesting is most welcomed. Thanks :thumbup:

I was desperated for this tool This is really interesting. :thumbup::thumbup: Thanks Ian and Xcom. My Virtual squadron is about to launch a PvP dynamic Campaing and we were desperate for a fucntionality such this one. Specially the option to save the match surviving units and place them in their new possitions. All in all this tool may become essential to any "PvP dynamic Campaign" We are going to test this extensively to see if we can use this tool into our Campaign. Thanks a lot guys. Keep up the great work! :thumbup::thumbup:

Indeed you do. :smilewink: Chinook and Lama are quite different helicopters from the Huey. Rotor system is different, and besides this you can surely perform realistic steep slop landings with the Huey provided you have the skill to do so and you do that on slopes within the approved slope angles. Nice video of the Chinook, quite impressive. :thumbup:

You can download the full new version of this one for free made avalaible by the FAA. Outstanding material http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aircraft/media/faa-h-8083-21A.pdf

I am reading this one for first time and I am enjoying it a lot. Goes to my favourite's list

Rest in peace.

This guy has very good hands. :thumbup:

Sometimes you have to launch the simulator, have it unpaused and with you in the cockpit Alt+Tab and then launch the little program. The FFB improvement and realism is such that is worth the trouble.

Try with this little program http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1628706&postcount=43

You can see a Marine livery on this video during the last seconds.

Well the problem with this is that the Tacan of Batumi in DCS World actually does not exist in real life and it is not on located on DCS World in the same location the NDB is located on the jeppesen Chart. They are around 1 NM away So if you fly to the tacan, all your angles, distance, intercept courses..... are wrong. I found a temporary solution to this some time ago and I have actually created a template with all the real navigation aids and waypoints foe Georgia. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/38356/ Basically this creates Nav points you can use in your CDU thus selecting them as Steepoints. You will have your HSI needle pointing to that point that simulates the NDB station. Until we do have the capability of creating our own TACAN in DCS World (The A-10 does not have ADF) this can be a good temporary solution for that.

You do not fly "magnetic" headings here, you should fly a "magnetic track", but actually what you must do is to fly directly to the IAF on this case LU NDB using your navigation equipment. If you fly using magnetic headings inestad, those do not take into account wind so you will drift and miss the station and the appropiate angle to intercept it. So the proper procedure in NEDEK 1B is that after overflying NEDEK, fly directly to the NDB using your navigation equipment. If you do it right you will fly a "magnetic track" of 173º for 24 NM. The IAF of for the NEDEK 1B is not a TACAN but Batumi NDB (LU).

Thank you for the nice comments guys. I am just trying to be of help and share the little bit I may know about this thing we all love that is flying!! :joystick::pilotfly:

Hi Loz. It happens to me the same :D I had to read again the Flight Manual of the UH-1H because I have forgoten a lot of stuff. I have flown many types of helos since then and the only one I remeber correctly is the one I am flying now. For the rest I should get back to study again if I had to fly them again. :doh: As an Instructor you surely know autos in and out. :smartass: Nice having another rotorhead around. :thumbup:

I think here is the key of the issue. You are mentioning the entry into the landing phase. I was talking about the glide path descent attitude and speed before that phase. So I guess we are talking about diferent phases of the autorotation. If you see the video again you will see that I keep around 80 knots until the "level off" before the flare. That gentle level off at 200 feet is what I guess you can call the entry into the landing phase but not the flare itself. Please correct me if I am missunderstod that During that level off the helicopter decelerates smoothly passing through the 60 knots mark before entering into the flare itself. On the video I made the final flare at around 30-40 knots and as you can see the Huey did not skided more than a few meters and contacted smoothly the runway so thos 80 knots on the glide path didn't forced me to make a heavy flare or use much ground in stoping the aircraft. This 5 minute video is a simple, and basic demonstration of a normal autorotation with the Huey so the non profesional pilots could get an idea of how it is. I failed to add in the video that in the event of a full engine failure and before landing you have to secure the engine, close fuel, call mayday, switch off batery. ;) As you know the art of autorotation is complex and requires much practice and knowledge of the helicopter aerodynamics and that was out of the scope of the little video. But I am confident that if our Huey pilots face an engine failure and lower the collective promptly and seek an attitude of 80 knots they are in the safe side to perform it. I have a question for you because this has called my attention. I have never flown a Chinook and the heaviest helicopter I have flown was the Ka-32 however I found those 60 knots you mentioned pretty low for such a heavy helicopter. I just happened to have access to the US Army Technical Manual CH-47D Manual TM 1-1520-240-10 and found out this there: I guess you mean to get the 60 knots just right before the flare at 50 to 75 feet. Did I undertood it right? By the way I have to say I have the outmost respect for the RAF, one of the finnest in the world so if they did it that way that means it was well done. :)

Yeah, because I though the actual Hellfire range was classified

I am not sure where this info comes from. In 20 years flying career and with multiple types of helicopters I still have to see the "usual autorotation speed" golden number In the helicopter I flying now the AW-139 the recomended autorotation descent attitude produces around 80 knots Maybe you are confusing it with the speed of minimum rate of descent and this does not mean it is the "usual" one Every helicopter have different autorotation speeds for a given glide ratio and rate of descent so there is not a "common" airspeed for all types of helicopters. It is posible to safely autorrotate at 60 knots, that would give you a reduced rate of descent and more time in the air....however if for some reason you need more rpm on your flare you will not get them as much as if you had some extra speed to trade for On the UH-1H model with composite blades that is the DCS UH-1H module the Best rate of descent speed is 59 KIAS while the Speed for maximum glide distance is 94 Kias. In the real UH-1H Flight manual the Autorotation Glide charts use 80 knots as example Anything between 60 kots (Best rate of descent) and 94 knots (best speed for maximum glide distance) is OK. There are many conditions that make a pilot choose one or another speed. The most important is the rotor Rpm, the distance and glide path angle to the selected landing point....... An one very important consideration, the more airspeed you have above those 60 Knots( but not exceeding more than thos 94 knots) can be nicely traded by rotor Rpm in the flare and this is a very convenient comodity to have in your pocket because in a real autorrotation if you make the slight mistake on your flare, on in the glide path angle to your landing point, if you miscalculate the surface head wind, ground obstacles, if you are heavy and have a higher rate of descent than anticipated in the flare.... having some extra speed that you can trade for some extra rpm (rpm = lift) that would mean the difference of being able to "do something" or not. For this reason if possible, it is advisable, conditions permiting, to keep up some extra knots that you can trade for extra energy in your rotor in case you need it. In the video we had a nice runway ahead and the proper conditions for an autorotation. I had not to worry about landing in a confined area so given the option by default that 80 knots allowed me to land safely and keep the extra energy reserve. Surely if the conditions are such that involve the need to keep that minimum rate of descent, I can nicely do it. However given the choice I prefer to keep some extra speed to trade in case it is needed. If the conditions allows you (rpm, helicopter weight, density altitude, wind and position of the suitable landing zone) I would recomend you keep those few extra knots in your "pocket" Maybe one day you will need them. :thumbup:

This is a cool video!! :thumbup:

So far it works great for me. No crashes and records all MP time and kills so far. Got no new medals yet with the Mod so I cannot tell about that issue. Thanks for the MOD, it is really nice to have!

I have the same trouble. Does anyone have found a solution for this?
