Hi. As titled - when a target is designated on the RDR page, the TD box on the HUD may drift off target. This occurs in both SAM and STT. Please see the attached track for a demonstration of this issue. It is sped up to save time and keep the track short. Cheers. JF-17 TD.trk

Hi. Upon designating a target from RWS (and thus transitioning into SAM), target information is displayed in the upper part of the RDR page. The second entry (which I suspect to be target heading) is reversed - it increments target heading when the target turns counterclockwise. For example, a target heading west would show up as having "090" heading. Attached is the track demonstrating this issue. I accelerated the time in some places to speed up the process. Cheers.

Hi. Does the Kiowa Warrior have any in-cockpit indications of crab angle and do the VSD/HSD indications compensate for crab for its heading indications/directions? Is there any other way other than regularly checking the VSD/HSD and correcting one's heading to keep the KW on a given track during long flights? Cheers.

Hi. As titled. When using the sight, the range arc displayed (normally in the first quadrant) has extra parts in the other quadrants if the weapon selector is kept in ВЫКЛ./УРС (OFF/MSL). Selecting other weapons and then returning to ВЫКЛ./УРС fixes this issue. Turning the sight off and back on has no impact on the issue. Steps to reproduce: 1. Take off. 2. Turn the sight on. 3. Observe that the range arc has extra sections starting from ~120 degrees clockwise where it is supposed to end, and extend all the way to "zero range" (see attached) 4. (If needed), manually set the range to observe that the extra sections rotate alongside the range arc. Overall only a ~120 degree section is not displayed. 4. Move the weapon selector out of ВЫКЛ./УРС. 5. Observe that the range arc is displayed normally. 6. Move the weapon selector back into ВЫКЛ./УРС. 7. Observe that the range arc is still displayed normally. Cheers.

Hi Kinkkujuustovoileipä, Thanks for the reply and understood. May I suggest adding a mention of this unreliability to the user manual? Cheers.

Hi. I've been enjoying the Kiowa so far, but one thing bugs me - the Heading Hold Mode. It's wonderful when I'm relatively slow (from hovering to 40 knots), but if I go to say 80 knots and engage HHM, it often would start oscillating in roll and swing the nose away from the initial heading. The user manual doesn't say anything about engaging the HHM at speed. Is it a me problem, or is it something with the helo? Cheers.

Much appreciate all the replies! Damn if actually "putting the bumper to use" would result in something like that...!

Hi. The modelviewer shows that the Mi-8 has a (hydraulically dampened?) tail bumper with a small piston-like structure near the tail end. This structure appears to be fixed in-place for the Mi-24P. If one tries to play all the animations for the 24P, the tail bumper does not move at all. Is the tail bumper on the real thing also fixed in-place, or is this an animation thing? Cheers.

I agree with the first, but the Hind's DISS does have the П light coming on when it goes into memory, unless it got shot up.

Hi. I came back from flying the Mi-24 (whose DISS deviation meter does reset to zero angle/no speed display after completing the self-test), and found that the Mi-8's DISS deviation meter doesn't reset itself to display zero deviation angle and no speed if I put the self-test switch to "work" (Р) from "test" (К). Is this intended or an issue? Cheers.

Hi. It appears that repeatedly spawning as a Viggen in MP will set the primary altimeter QFE to ~3040 hPa after one's fourth spawn. Leaving and rejoining the server resets the "counter" allowing three new spawns to occur without issue. Switching to other airframes in the same server play session will not help - the issue consistently occurs on the fourth Viggen spawn for a given player. Spawns are done through the Dynamic Slots system which may play a part too. EDIT: It appears that static slot spawning has the same issue. EDIT2: Single-player is also affected by this issue. EDIT3: Tested on Syria and Marianas, the issue doesn't appear on these maps. Cheers.

Hi. The internal gun appears to continue firing for approximately 0.4 seconds after letting go of the trigger, which the devs on Discord have stated is due to the gun spooling down. Attached is the trackfile in which I tapped the trigger multiple times. The wing-mounted gun pods stop firing almost immediately after trigger release, but the internal gun keeps firing for a short while. The internal gun always operates in auto-clear mode as the online manual have stated, however the external gun pods do not exhibit this "sticking" behavior with the auto-clear switch in auto-clear. 0.4 seconds for the internal gun is also inconsistent with the manual stating that it should fire 5-11 rounds after releasing the trigger (0.4 seconds correspond to ~25-40 rounds instead). Thus I suspect the spool-down behavior is incorrect either for the pod or the internal gun. If these are correct as-is please let me know as well! Cheers. Phantom gun spooldown.trk

Hi admiki, Interesting information. From memory - dry-cranking both engines sequentially takes roughly a minute and that's what I remember doing in the track. I also had a previous multiplayer session where no amount of dry-cranking saved me and I had to re-slot. But I'll check it out when I have time to launch DCS again. Cheers.

Hi. If the Mi-24P is cold-started from the ramp, and then shut down for repair without draining the remaining fuel from the engine, the engines will fail to start even after a dry-crank after repair. Attached is the track-file - I used acceleration in multiple places to speed up the process, otherwise it would be nearly 15 minutes long. Steps to reproduce: 1. Cold-start the Mi-24. 2. Break it by any means (I allowed the main rotor to hit the ground in the track). 3. Shut down the engines. Don't dry-crank them. 4. Request a repair from the ground crew and wait. 5. Dry-crank the engines. 6. Start the engines. 7. Profit - the engines won't start. Cheers. Mi-24P repair engines.trk
