I think things will improve when vulkan comes into play. the filesize limitation has been mentioned several times by ie ORBX but I recall having read that this will be fixed under vulkan. I may be wrong. another thing is if you make it to super detailed a lot of people will complain that their sim is a slide show. a balance needs to be found.

Helicopters do use autopilot, like all the time. unless you are in the tiny ones. SAS and SCAS are basic submodes of autopilot systems. for OP. pedals are required during takeoff/flight/landing due to this Newton guy and his 3rd law. yes a system could be designed to counteract the input but it would have to factor in, load, wind, density ect so not as easy as it sounds and it would add unnecessary weight to the aircraft limiting payload. the AP modes are still a work in progress and honestly I rarely use them and hand fly the bird.

not always the case but cant say for the Apache.

the OH58D utilize a high level proprietary autopilot system. its called STS interface. in more common tongue its referenced to as the Seat T Stick interface, its highly adaptable and yet incredibly stupid all at the same time. I am looking forward to the Kiowa and considering Casmo's comments I think it will be a close contender to the apache.

its quite possible if you are flying high and set LOAL to high, you then give the missile a higher trajectory and can thus cover a longer distance. George on the other hand will not fire at anything past 8km

thank you for the update, I hope to be proven wrong. although I urge you to update and use the roadmap so it reflects the actual status.

@BIGNEWY I know you made an update a few months ago but it would really be appropriate if ED pushed @OnReTech to at least fix some bugs on this map and then focus on further development and with a hard deadline thats fairly close. e.g July update or something of the sort. Additionally @OnReTech should update the roadmap as I have mentioned before with actual achievable goals rather than go radio silent. Ive said it before but will say it again. People will generally accept a lot if there is open communication around issues and delays in process. but say nothing and people will assume that they have been scammed. And this is where a lot of users are right now, thinking @OnReTech is a scam.

which is ?

no apache, not going to lie disappointed as it was mentioned that the C scan and link ect would be in the next (this ) update

gotcha, how far away were stationary targets vs moving targets, the most common misunderstanding Ive seen is that people are convinced the stationary targets can be seen past 6km

it doesnt distinguish between friendlies or enemy aircraft. it just see the lump of metal. even if its dead.

While Im sure the community appreciates the prospect of an update, I feel like trust is already gone and the only way to restore this would be to not focus on additional immediate content and focus on fixing some bugs even if this means that it is only a small update. Additionally, Id personally like to see an updated road map, realistic one this time, so we all know what and when to expect what, and obviously very clear and concise communication. We all know that development can take time and has bumps on the road, but for paying customers, we/they just want to hear that hey guys, we have an issue, next major update is pushed to xx, and the coming update will only have minor fixes ect. That I can respect and Im sure others can too.

No, @BIGNEWY already mentioned on a facebook post that it will most like. be the update following this one. unfortunately

a - not yet but its coming for both front and backseat b - the source of your acquisition determines which direction your FCR scans in, so if you have LOS/TADS pointing to the left, FCR will scan that area

if people who are doing the development isnt paid you cant expect them to work for free.

its a pretty basic bug id imagine and easily fixable. but I think most people would let up if they were just told what in the a.. is going on and when we can realistically expect the promised updates. I will wait for something official from the ED team now, I trust @BIGNEWY will update the thread once communication has been received from the dev.

I get that, and as I mentioned in another post I wouldnt have an issue with this if it wasnt for the fact that they promised the first update Nov 2023 followed by another big update in end of 1Q24. there has been absolutely nothing mentioned of what the plan is and communication is sporadic at best. I have patience, and a lot of it, but I also expect devs to be forthcoming about a product they have already received my money from. It would take them 5 sec to post on their forum/facebook ect. Guys we have xyz problems, we are working with ED to resolve, as the old roadmap has come and gone we anticipate first update to be out xx and following feedback and additional fixes next update will follow xx after that. we appreciate your patience and know you want..... bla bla bla.. That Id respect. what they are doing now is taking a mickey.

I will be very surprised if we see any updates to this at all. I hate to say it but I honestly think ED should pull it from the market until the developer can show some more commitment to the project.

and its probably a move he can pull when hes at sea level but in high alt not so much. Anyways, to OP I think you need to go through the training missions, they are good and explain things for you. and `i dont know where on earth you found that absolutely horribly wrong description on retreating blade stall, sounds like something one of the influencers on tik tok would come up with. Have you flown other helicopters in MSFS,XP or DCS before ?

is there a way of changing trajectory when using FCR ? sometime targets above you wont be hit as the trajectory is to low.

I honestly dont think the lack of update is the issue. The issue is lack of comms, lack of a reliable road map. No one forced them to post an update road map with delivery goals. its their own doing. So what good is the road map when its thoroughly being ignored

no wackers mate, yeah its still a WIP but its very cool flying with guys that know how and will use it.

saw a mod once for a reaper I think it was Grim reapers showcasing so maybe have a look on youtube

@AndreNL Just saw your msg on my post on the error in the manual. it seems you already got a reply. But its quite normal to get the NAK message and I get it too with other users but they do receive the message I send. I can only assume its an intermittent bug

Its odd though, Ive had george target a tent and other light buildings designated in the mission editor as hostile. maybe it was a fluke
