Hello, I just came across a little bug. When you eject with afterburner engaged, and the pilotless jet runs out of fuel, the engines will shut down but the afterburner remains on. Track included. f14afterburner.trk

I believe they want to make sure seat switching works properly first before implementing multicrew, that's what I remember reading here on the forums a while ago

Pre-orders would be starting very soon if it were to release in April

But we can already jump between the seats in the Mosquito in both MP and SP, so surely they know how to make it work.

I believe that this is not a valid configuation of weapons, the Hind has some physical limitations on what combination of weapons it can carry. It's best to stick to the pre-made configurations if you're not sure what works and what doesn't, as these are compatible with the Hind's systems.

+1 Same for the Mi-8!

XPlane has a plugin, made by a third party developer for free use that has functioning window wipers. The effect is not perfect, but if a single person can create this, I'm sure ED could do so as well.

I don't have FFB, but when I try to trim by just tapping the button, I can see the stick jump a bit. Doesn't seem to happen when holding the button through the entire movement, which is very useful.

Try to hold the trim button, then move the cyclic to a desired spot and release it, instead of tapping it where you need it. It seems to disconnect the autopilots when you hold the button, and it doesn't give you this jolt when you let go of it. Also, the hat switch trimmer is super useful.

I was curious about the hover mode a few days ago, and it does seem to work fairly well. You just need to trim it good, otherwise with too much movement it will disconnect.

A curve of 15 on both axis works for me. Still a bit twitchy, but in a way that doesn't bother me and feels "right".

In the rearming menu, you can select the type of ammo you want, no tracer bullets included

Is it? I think it's a legitimate thing to say, the trials are supposed to be there for people to try the thing before buying.

Would be great to have an option in the special settings to bypass the safety covers

Trun on the UV light, a switch on the right electical panel, where you turn the nav lights on. It will energise and light up all the glow in the dark instruments, it's really cool.

I'd honestly be happy with just an old school D or a V as an additional variant you can buy sometime down the road

The Mi-8 carries the same pods, can only fire one calibre at a time, but it lags big time when the bullets hit the ground too

If you're coming from the Ka-50, then all other helos will probably feel twitchy/unstable I found the Hind quite weird when it came to hovering, compared to all the other helos I flew both in DCS and in XPlane, but it took 2-3 flights to adjust. It all comes down to practice. I prefer no curves on the stick, but that's up to you. The Black Shark generally compensates for almost everything, and while the Hind has the AP channels, it's not nearly as extreme as it is in the Kamov.

Never exceed 350kmh, you enter the retreating blade stall and it's very hard to recover. You need to be careful with these aggressive dives, especially if you're already coming it at high speed.

Well, in hot air (especially at high altitudes where it's thin too), you need more power to stay up. More power - more torque - more right pedal needed. At some point, you're gonna run out of the rudder authority. Also, make sure you're doing this without the yaw stabiliser, I found that it's easy to run out of rudder authority even in -5 weather with that thing on in hover (after a flight, not right after takeoff, there it seems to work fine)

Awesome, thank you!

Hello, would it be possible to make the reticle in the front cockpit operable? Not only would it come quite useful for aiming the unguided weapons, it wouldn't feel that in your face as it kinda does when it's half folded away. Absolutely loving the Hind by the way, really really good launch!

I'm sooo happy with it, thank you ED!

That will definitely come in handy before getting used to the controls, thank you!
