Taxiing (4-wheel) is strange… Sometimes it works for me, sometimes it doesn’t. 4-wheel – LCT auto, AFCS off, and doing it really slowly (2–4 kts). For the steering knob I use the twist axis on my joystick. Sometimes it just keeps turning or refuses to turn, and I have to completely stop and start again. About a 60–70% success rate… 2-wheel seems to work for me, I do it the same way as you, only using a little bit less aft cyclic trim (between 1.5–2 inches; when I use 2 inches, I just go backwards, but it can be my mystake) for the initial “front lift.”

Very nice patch. It's not mentioned in the patch notes, but it appears that the Chinook blank CDU pages bug has been fixed. Thank you. Are there any other additions?

I have an unhealthy number of hours in the Chinook and quite a few in the Mi-8 and Huey. I recently picked up the Kiowa and I’m really starting to like it. I have the least hours in the Apache, but suddenly (after a year or so) it "clicked" with me and I finally started to really enjoy it. From fixed-wing, I fly the A-10C II and the Phantom

MSN page on the CDU

I misunderstood your question, sorry. What I meant was that you can change the frequency directly via the Mission page (top left button – MSN – on the CDU), without messing with presets. Just type your desired frequency and insert it using the right LSK.

Not on the MFD, but on the CDU. I can't tune presets on the MFD either.

You can set the FRQ on the Mission page of the CDU.

I was playing with the hover display mode a little bit...Take it with a pinch of salt L6 draws a line to the reference "hover" ACP (for example, the landing waypoint you set in the ME — I don't know how to change to other waypoint types for the Chinook via the CDU). L7 changes the scale, L8 sets the reference "hover" point right below you, L9 and R6 do nothing at the moment, I think.

A few CDU pages got broken after the last patch. Radio presets page is one of them. A workaround I found is changing the radio frequency via the MSN page (the button in the top left corner of the CDU).

They are country-specific. All liveries showed up for me. You can try the Combined Joint Task Forces "country" in the Mission Editor — all liveries are grouped there

You can set presets for radios in the mission editor, I think (just the frequency, not the ident), and then just select your desired frequency via the CDU (I fly with the copilot CDU on the radios preset page). I didn’t manage to get the presets for the ARC-186 (on center console) working (but maybe that’s my fault — manual tuning works fine).

Are you using the "Ground Crew" -> "Rearm & Refuel" -> load cargo button (arrow up) via comms menu?

I switched it off about a third of the way back to base. I agree, the spinning bearing needle wasn't very helpful :), but at least seeing the distance and time was. Also, setting the correct QNH (I know where, but it doesn't work, I think).

Very nice and well-made mission! From fiddling with the radio, the 'rushed' takeoff, staying in formation with Reaper (nice little challenge, btw), the route through the mountain valley, voiced lines … really well done. Thanks a lot!

I am unable to complete this mission either. If you open this mission in the mission editor and 'unhide' all units and trigger zones, there are no ground units, structures, or helipads further south of Batumi. There is one trigger zone around Batumi, but I can't find what it is tied to. But maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.
