Does the Gazelle Minigun variant have AI for the Mingun?

To be fair, once you learn the cockpit.. which with its simpisity is quite quick, the english labels are not really needed. Helpful for a couple of days when learning.

I finally figured it out. When changes are made - they are saved in the options.lua (Saved Games\DCS\Config). I forgot that i am using Baileys app to run different DCS.exe files which i use for when at the PC and connecting remotely - each of which have a different options.lua associated. So, when i was making changes in DCS, they were not saving.. A quick edit of the option.lua for the .exe files and all working now. @Gladius I'm using this mod to convert to english cockpit https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1956481/

A lot of views but no answers as yet. Could someone who does fly the Gazelle confirm if they make the selection to english that it remains peristant after DCS has been restarted? If i can confirm that, then i'll know if i need to figure out whats wrong my end or just live with it!!

Hi All, I've got the mod installed for English labels. I can get it working ok. But, i cant make it persistant. If i change to English under special - After restarting it defaults back to default. Any suggestions on how to make it persistant please?

Tried to change the brightness of the MFD's today for night flying. Got a bit of a mixed bag of results.. When directly at my PC - Only the Pilots inner MFD brightness button works. None of the others. If i remote RDP onto the pc and run the sim.. I can dim both pilot and copilot inner/outer MFD's..... baffles me!! Should they be working normally?

Asked the question over the Virpil forum as well.. And it can be done.. Here is the answer which i was given, and it works. I eventually found another way also of doing this.. If you double click on the Dial Axis, there are check boxes which you can use.. Not as good as the one below. As long as you realise the big dials only go so far Left/Right then its a good use of them if you dont have a need for them being Axis. Mine are now mapped to FM & UHF radios volume Up & Down. I cant take credit for this.. Flugzeuger provided the solution on Virpil Forums. Attached example shows how to do axis to button, for example for axis slider (it can be for other axis, example dial) P2 means number 2 in Axis to button. If axis dial - it will be number 3 in axis to button. Range You can choose which is comfortable for You (0-50, 25-70 etc) Go to button TAB Press Button 42 Enter physical button, for example 49 Then press physical number for button, save it, and save vpc device And axis will work like button.

Hey All, Got a Virpil Panel 1. I've got the two large axis dials redundant at the moment.. Is there a way to convert these in the Virpil software to act as rotary/encoders the same as the 3 small dials at the bottom of the panel?

First time i've ever seen this.. Anyway to recover without restarting the mission?

Think i have it working now.. I had tried statics before but couldn't get it to work. They have to be quite percisely placed to block the spots. Slight off and the other aircract spawn on top of them.

ahh. thanks. Was looking in the main arms layout.

I've looked in the weapons load out options.. Unless i'm missing something obvious i cant see guns/ammo

I've got a CAS mission with F18 flying off a carrier. All works fine. Is there away to disable the F18 using bombs only... and not Guns?

Ok, i'll look at doing that

and what would be the best solution to prevent that area from being used by the AI ?

I've spent countless hours trying to get things working for consistency... For the most part i've got things working.. But cant seem to figure out how to avoid the scenario where AI planes seem to get stuck and wont park. They stop just forward of the bridge every time. In this situaion nothing can land... Any suggestions... i'm open to re-arranging things if thats what it takes As you can see in the image, this is what tends to happen

Perfect.. thanks for the confirmation and additional info on optimism of target choice...

Anyone care to confrim please?

When placing ground units in ME.. Would i be correct in stating.. Anything inside the green circle is too close and wont be engaged Anything outside the Red circile is too far and wont be engaged therefore Targets must be outside of the green, but inside the red for things like artillery to work?

What you've described is what i think i already tried. But, got it sorted using a simple moose script.

Followed a few examples of moving zones.. but cant get it working on a ship. Is this possible before or am i wasting time? Idea is to create a CTLD loadzone on the USS Tarawa I'm trying to via a trigger. New Trigger - Moving Load Zone Condition - Unit inside Moving Zone - Unit is a Helicopter, Zone is Loadzone-1, Zone Unit USS Tarawa Action - Just a essage to all

Sorry missed this... Doh.. simple solution. Thanks

I've read a few things from posts dating back a few years.. Just wondering if its now possible to get an AI aircraft to attack a player controlled JTAC vehicle I'd like to have an AH-64 orbiting in the area, have me controlling a JTAC and the AI engaging said target. Possible or not?

Here's what you can do with Helios. Each of the monitors are about £70 ($90) each. Added bonus is they are touch screen, so all the buttons around the MFD actually work by pressing them. Makes flying the CH47 so much easier and it was all down to the OP's point about not being able to easily read them in the cockpit.

I cant get the ME FAC function to work. I have set it following many of the online videos which show it working. I have Stryker ICV set as FAC and another set as FAC-Engage Group - Both at 1000m with Line of Sight. I have also setup a reaper as a FAC. I have a Kiowa on the ground hot armed with Hellfire missiles If i load the mission, i get the JTAC menu option. If i then call any of the 3 JTACs it request is heard, but never get a response. I've set ME options to Easy Comms I have tried using many of the online videos and replicating exactly as they have.. but still no response. Any suggestions on what i need to do to ge the response and Lase the targets? I've attached the mission file if anyone has just a few mins to check and see what might be wrong. AFAC_Test_1.miz
