Salute, Great thread by the way, very useful. The problem I am having is at low speed trying to loose altitude (to land in a compound for example) my 'copter keeps breaking into a bank to the right (I have read and seen videos about a break to the left brought on my rapid collective changes) into an uncontrollable roll. As soon as I start using trim, things start to go wrong. I have tried using trim lock, not using it, keeping it pressed in whilst maneuvering then releasing... I am a new pilot so perhaps it is still down to "noobness". (I have "cut my teeth" on the Gazelle, the Apache is my second helicopter purchase) I am running an X56 throttle and stick. Any thoughts from those that know would be very welcome.

Still some work to do.. "Err...Harry....Should that be there?"

@BaD CrC Thanks for the reply. Being able to add rudder trim is a good shout (if it is available for the Gazelle) will check later.

Salute @Volator, thanks for the reply. After many sessions I had another go last night after trawling through the threads and found a post which seems to have done the trick. It suggested having a -10 curve on the throttle (collective). This does feel that I have a lot more control. I will post my other settings a bit later when I get on my gaming pc. I also have the friction on the throttle as loose as it will go and also split the throttles and only use the right hand side, using the left side as a base to apply pressure to the left half to give me more control. Below are some pictures of what I achieved last night... The Marianas map is awesome for low flying by the way. There is some much going on with civilian traffic set right up. I assume it will be due to the ambient temperature of the map but I felt I needed a lot more power when trying to land as opposed to the Caucuses.

Salute, Just recently picked up the Gazelle and really enjoying it. Its my first helicopter in any sim. Landing is becoming a bit of an issue for me (despite hours of practice). I just can not seem to find the sweet spot in getting it on the ground without a heavy bump (causing the pilot to groan!) or breaking the rear tail, more often than be able to put it down safely. I have looked through quite a few threads on the subject but none seem to have posts later than 2019. I have Logitech X56 stick and throttle (as collective configured like a jet throttle and not pulling up as per a real helicopter to increase torque/power as I fly jets as well and do not want brain farts when switching between the two!) Is anyone with current time (as at 2023) in the Gazelle and latest flying model (which I acknowledge is a bit old now and have seen the posts about it not being updated until the latest project is released) able to advise please? What hints and tips would you pass on? Many thanks in anticipation. DD_Friar

Salute I was wondering if anyone runs a server with the above content. It would also be good to have enemy hidden on the F10 map and no icons? I like playing tanks in IL2 (Advance and Secure and Finnish Virtual for those of you that would know) and wondered what a similar experience could be like in DCS DD_Friar PS. Not sure if this post is in the right place?

Salute @ANDR0ID I can see where the confusion may be. In the post immediately following our first post where the fixes were outlined, we found the sound issue you describe and listed the fix for the bronco only but implied that is what you need to do for other planes. Bu thank you for pointing this out DD_Friar

@ANDR0ID - Is that not what we originally posted - or am I missing something? But thanks for updating. I do not see these fixes as "my fixes" they are there for the community to use and update as required.

@boyington2, Sorry we only know what we have posted here in this thread for the mentioned airplanes and single helicopter, which we found to all work. The fix is only for planes with the SOUNDERS folder. If the plane you are trying to fix does not have the sounders folder then we are unable to assist. We defiantly had the fix work for us on the UH60L - have you checked all the syntax is correct. I think capitals may matter and names must match. Have you read all the posts in the thread as the answer to the reduced sound was posted in a subsequent post after we found the initial answer.

@jnr4817 - do you what you like with it! If it does the job then fine. I am afraid we will not be doing tests on all mods so please try it and if it works post back here to let others in the same position know.

Never had a problem, I also run CCleaner from time to time, then again I don't go clicking on invites from foreign female nationals or notifications of missed deliveries from my postal service.

Sorry, I can not tell you why I am NOT getting a problem, perhaps because everything is OK with my install and environment? I just use Windows Defender as my anti virus.

@skypickle Yes, its the Open Beta version.

Salute @ADHS I have just connected to our squads multi-player server using the multi-threading version and was able to take control of a tank without issue?

@ANDR0ID - no problem - the more the merrier! Glad it worked for you.

I can play with it for more than 2 weeks?

Coming from Il2 for me the A4-E has been fantastic. It is teaching me a grounding on all of the functions of a "modern" fighter jet. Through playing with this I will undoubtedly be sucked into buying either an F16 or F14 probably once the sales come round again although I am weakening under the two little voices from my squad mates sitting on my shoulder, on my left @DD_Fenrir "buy the F14".. on my right @DD_fruitbat "buy the F16..." Without such a high quality option for free I would probably have stuck to Combined Arms and playing with the tanks only.

@Drofseh - Thank you for providing the file. We choose to provide the explanation and method to correct the issue rather then just give the fix. The thread, by explaining what we had found and the solution will hopefully also help the developers from both sides of the fence (mods and official). What will be a pain if in a future release the sounds get broken again. It gives mod developers the opportunity to perhaps look at other mods that do not break the tank sounds and see how they do it.

@ASW Thank you for this list as it helps build up a picture of which mods break the tanks sounds and which ones are OK.

@Drofseh The edits really are very simple. The method described seems to work for all mods that use the SOUNDERS structure. Once you have mastered this method, should you down load another plane in the future that is not listed here, you will have the method to correct it. If you rely on the zip file with it done for you, you would not. I am not going to download every mod plane that comes along and provide the fix. I outlined the method which has been proven to fix the issue. "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach him how to fish and he eats for a lifetime". Salute.

OK fair enough. thanks for the reply.

@Night Owl Salute. What sort of exploits would you be concerned about if I may ask? What about just tanks? Opportunity to put pressure on held ground (perhaps use of flags?)

Salute Does this server offer the opportunity for players with Combined Arms and the WWII asset pack to take control of tanks etc to contribute to the ground war?

If you have updated your system with these fixes and it works please post back and let us know.
