Heya Kinkku (was surprised to hear you weren't speaking rally English when I heard you in an interview...), just thought I'd ask about a thing mentioned in the UH-60L manual. In the manual it is said "This aircraft was fitted with FLIR and terrain radar which are not possible to implement in a DCS mod." This got me curious, because at one point the guy making the A-29 Super Tucano mod did manage to finagle a working FLIR into a DCS community mod. Has the way this was achieved been patched out since then?

Would be interesting to hear from your experiences if you go that way. Last I heard the aftermarket damper wasn't very strong, or adjustable, so I kind of doubt it's strong enough to get a deadstick setup. But I do not know.

I wasn't looking into your private life, I was just surprised to see someone put work above life in their list of priorities. And I did say in the first message that "I guess this is kinda neither here nor there in this thread tho..." So yeah we can end it there.

Wasn't quite as thorough as I should have been properly: What I was saying is that you put work above life in your list (and below family), so I was wondering if in a hypothetical case where your work was ruining your life, would you prioritize work over life? Since work > life in your list. I wasn't implying that work is actively ruining your life or anything, just that if it were, would it still be priotitized.

Wait, so if work is ruining your life, you'll prioritize work? I guess this is kinda neither here nor there in this thread tho...

FWIW, when using and external flight model, what DCS is built to simulate kinda stops mattering (based on what ASC head said, and other discussions about EFMs).

OK, second question: Why the biggest 500 kg one instead of the 250 kg one? Regardless, fun stuff, thanks! EDIT: And there is the GBU-39B/B, which has the option for terminal laser guidance...

That's an odd change, why not the LS-6-100, which is more of an SDB equivalent?

I mean, technically you can, it's your SDK, you could make it opensource if you wanted to (unless part of it is using licensed closed source stuff I guess, or something similar). But of course you don't want to, which is entirely understandable.

The Mi-8 is great, but it's smål. Tiny. Need big ups! Mi-26 is mandatory. Ka-27/29 is indeed just a perversion of mine, I like coax-contrarotating helis. In a month! I get Christmas, but do people take such a big false start for Easter?

Some of the European ones would be fun, though I have this perverse desire to get the Ka-27 (or 29)... Or of course the Mi-26, because we need big lift.

In theory I love this, but I'm not sure I've seen a single time a dev (1st or 3rd party) that has said "year 20XX" and it's actually been that year for release... I really hope you didn't just jinx it. Regardless, I am really looking forward to the Bo-105!

Cheers!

Oh yeah I do intend to back up! I am a datahoarder anyway, but I'm also a game developer, and have learned that sometimes the nuclear option is the best option. I'm almost 100% certain it's not the controllers, because as I said all the inputs (push buttons, encoders, etc.) work perfectly fine in MSFS, Windows test screen, VKB test software, etc. It's only DCS that has issues, and even there they work in the controls screen just fine. I do have the quaggles controls injection mod installed (I consider it mandatory for most modules honestly), so might be that over time something with how that has been updated and how it interacts with the game has gone awry.

FWIW the issues with these buttons and encoders persist in other planes too, it's not just the Viggen. Hence why I'm considering nuking everything.
