What did I think of Kiowa? It needs to improve in some areas!
LorenLuke replied to ThorBrasil's topic in DCS: OH-58 Kiowa
The Polychop Kiowa manual has bindings suggested specifically for the Warthog. (Somewhere around Pg 26, IIRC)- 592 replies

Because those helicopters work differently? Because the that's the physics of the aircraft in an unpowered fall. It's not a matter of axes working or not working, if you don't follow the correct steps to autorotate. We can see you move your collective up and up as you fall. Your collective works, and you're doing the opposite of what you need to do. From what I'm able to gather from what others have said in this thread, all hydraulic and electric power in the aircraft is generated from the rotors spinning. Usually that's the engines doing that, but if you lose those, if you want any hydraulic or electrical control, you have to keep the rotors spinning. It doesn't matter if it's from the engines (which you've lost), autorotation, faerie magic, or getting out and pushing them with your own hands... if you want power to the aircraft and hydraulics, YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE ROTORS SPINNING. There have been multiple updates to the systems to make them behave more realistic to the real-life aircraft since. This behavior before was likely the result of a less accurate simulation. When you lose the engines, just make sure you IMMEDIATELY put your collective to the floor as the very first step.

Engine failure doesn't care where you've studied or where you've worked, either. Other's said it can be done, and if you were doing it correctly, this thread wouldn't exist. I've watched the track, too, and the VERY FIRST THING you did was add collective, which is at the top of the 'do not do this' list. So, if you want to put your studies and work experience into play, this is what it got you. Or you could just go look up a video, and add to that education just a bit more, especially considering you're coming to others to ask their help for your problem.

Additional bindings that would be appreciated...
LorenLuke replied to RangerGav's topic in DCS: OH-58 Kiowa
Additionally, a bind for each position of the MMS rotary (one each for off, stow, preflight, prepoint, forward, and scan). And the copilot doesn't have binds for their radio channel select hat-thing (the one the pilot has on their grip). -

Pack it in everyone! Go home, thread's done its job! Seriously though, I'm glad you've found it as fun as I do, and I'm glad it was just as fun, if not more fun, than I was hoping it'd be.

Title.

That said, Pg 68: I can't for the life of me get anything other than the Copilot ASE page with 2 hellfires and an MG (loaded via Mission Editor). (Nor does the LMC seem to work.) EDIT: The WPN page switch DOES work, but ONLY for the mouse. The keybind moves the switch correctly, but only accesses the ASE page.

Ignore the first 5 and subtract 5 from all the subsequent numbers.

What did I think of Kiowa? It needs to improve in some areas!
LorenLuke replied to ThorBrasil's topic in DCS: OH-58 Kiowa
Didn't say that. But I know that if I'm close enough to sniff the polygons, I'm probably going to get about one frame to see, process, analyse, and criticise it before I disappear in a midair collision. So I can stomach a moderately subpar tenth of a second, compared to the enjoyment of actually flying and fighting the thing. I buy modules to play, not to polish them and put them on a shelf next to a sunny window.- 592 replies

How to map the ICS Radio button

ODU displays outside of the monocle. The top scale seems to 'jump' from side to side and isn't culled outside the monocle. The monocle size is independent of visual zoom, the ODU is not. nullnullStrange behavior with how the bar on the right extends upwards or downwards out of the ODU.

It has been announced as being part of the patch scheduled today.

Worth noting is that if you select your acquisition source to GHS in the TADS, and then switch to your HMD as sight, it can't set the acquisition source to itself, so it defaults to 'fixed', which remains when you switch back to another sight. This is true for switching to the the FCR with the FCR as your ACQ, as well.

I mean, this is just the same for the Kiowa as for any other module. Once it has left pre-order/early access periods, it's full price.

If they were, I don't think the SCAS and FMC systes would work the way they do.

It would be awesome for them to use the same method as the new bomb fuze dialogue. Have the pod selection be zone E, then select the A/C and B/D contents from dropdowns to load (same rocket type as the E zone by default). Other zones are automatically copied to any mirror pylons.

Same thing for the 12- and 9- view modes in the back seat for the TPOD.
