recoil17

This reminds me of a video I seen a while back. Seems to have worked well on this helicopter. It looks like at least two wires entered the wire protection system above the cockpit. 1:50 time mark: https://youtu.be/nCYcijn7StU

I understand the purpose of the rotor brake and the rotor brake lock but I'm having a hard time understanding a rotor brake lock startup. I understand the principals of how it works just not the reasoning to have such a system. What's the benefit to performing a rotor brake lock startup and why was it implemented in the Apache?

*DCS: APACHE JOINED THE CHAT*

I knew it was coming. I've expected it to come since the A model was announced over a decade ago but even after the comments wags has made I WAS NOT READY for that reveal. I seen the mast and thought, finally, here's the hind, then when I saw that 30mm my body shut down.

I seen there's another rocket recoil bug post but this is a slightly different issue. If you select and fire rockets in the KA-50 with the master arm OFF, the aircraft will pitch up as if rockets were actually fired. No track file because it's easily duplicated. Thanks!

During the "Airfield VFR Landing" instant action mission I tried to tune the M radio station to Kobuleti 133.000 MHZ. I had set the aircraft in BALT and ATTH autopilot then started to tune the radio. The AM/FM Option select was cycling between AM and FM by itself and I couldn't make a frequency change. I disengaged auto pilot and it seemed to start working again. I've attached a track file RADIOBUG.trk

Splash One Gaming was kind enough to share on their Facebook page a link to the early access guide. Thanks https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vJ94f1Z2RIz078bYUak-lPKJN8A0B1wB/view

We do "by the book" maintenance so I could get away with reading a manual on and off for the majority of the day ;)

I have access to NATEC and the manuals but I'm interested in the one ED is releasing. Thanks

Now that it has been released can somebody share the manual or a link to the early access manual? I'll be stuck at work and would like to read the manual before I get home and download the module. Thanks! EDIT: Link provided on the Splash One Gaming facebook page. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vJ94f1Z2RIz078bYUak-lPKJN8A0B1wB/view

If you simultaneously dump fuel while making a high angle of attack with the afterburners lit, is it possible for the fuel being dumped to ignite? I ask because I seen a warning of this in the NATOPS manual.

I did a search on this thread and didn't see an answer so if it's been answered, sorry for missing it. I was watching a video of a Harrier landing and noticed something going on in the intake. At first I thought it was some kind of condensation but then I realized, maybe it was the water injection system. Does anybody know if it is in fact the water injection functioning? If it is, will it be implemented into this module? The visual effect I mean. You can see it about 10 seconds in on this video:

I'm a few months late but just discovered the F-2 and searched the forums for any posts about it. What a beautiful aircraft! I would love to have this plane in DCS.

That's a really cool shirt! Thanks for sharing

Welcome! I'm checking the website out now, these are some really great pictures!

Looks like this thread made it on the "Road to VR" website... http://www.roadtovr.com/how-to-improve-your-htc-vive-image-quality-with-supersampling-pixel-density-tweak/

I didn't want to start a new thread but I was also thinking of the possibility of the F/A-18D. They have the Albatros with multi-crew multiplayer so I don't see why they wouldn't do this at some point. If they aren't already working on it

If anybody has access to NAVAIR 01-F14AAA-4-15 it should have a list of GSE for the F-14 A/B but it was deleted from NATEC in 2007

I don't know much about the older unit but with the new MSU it can be detached from the ground handling trailer and mounted to a -31B tractor for shipboard I tried to pull the tech pub on the -105 but it's no longer available here because it's been removed from service EDIT: Something funny I noticed is the old huffer was a -105 and the publication for the new MSU is NA 19-105B-62

Very awesome, thanks for sharing! I googled and found some virtual cockpits for some Navy aircraft http://www.navalaviationmuseum.org/education/virtual-tour/

Are they looking for info on GSE? I'm a GSE mechanic and actually still work on NC-10's today. Last I worked on a huffer like that was in 2007 they've all been replaced with MSU 200's.

Good read, thanks! I'm curious what's going to come from this whole artificial island business.

I've noticed the tanks seem harder to kill with the GAU-8 as well. It was really noticeable yesterday during the Georgian Hammer campaign when I fired all of my CM rounds on a single T-72 and didn't get a kill. Then I commanded my wingman to engage him with cannon and with rounds on target from my wingman, he still was standing. I have a screenshot of the T-72 on the TGP MFD with 30mm craters all around it. I don't even bother engaging tanks with the GAU-8 anymore because the machine gunners are dead accurate. I'd rather do a gun run on a ZSU-23 than on a tank.

Ok, so I did a DCS World fix and that seems to have fixed my crashing. I decided to not taxi/park and shutdown the A-10C and that fixed the spawning aircraft on top of me issue. I just land and end the mission which takes some of the fun out of the game. Yet I keep running into bugs preventing me from completing the campaign. Now I'm stuck on Mission 4 where I have to provide CAS for another Abrams and Bradley element. The Abrams get stuck in the same spot every time, they just stop and will not proceed. I can't advance on the campaign and I get a 50% each time I complete the mission. Not to mention the Bradley that missed the bridge, went in the water and underground. How has anybody that's played through gotten past this?

I caught that as well, exciting!
