Is there any way to force trim the OH-6A ? Flying the OH-6A is like riding a wild horse

Great ! Will there be an english cockpit ?

bump

Habe ich beim F-4E auch festgestellt. Ich habe einen VKB Gunfighter Ultimate und die (rein optische) Verzögerung sehe ich auch nur beim Pitch. Roll geht ohne Verzögerung. Scheint aber nur innehrhalb des Cockpits sichtbar zu sein. Auf das Flugverhalten und optische Darstellung von Höhen-, Seiten- oder Querruder aussen scheint die Verzögerung hingegen keinen Einfluss zu haben.

Well, if the A/P only operates with perfectly centered and trimmed stick then my question is already answered, I suppose. However, I will try to record a track which demonstrates what I was mentioning later today.

My mechanical stick setup (VKB gunfighter 4 ultimate) is with weak spring centering, high damping, and mechanically reacts rather like a helicopter cyclic stick without springs. Pitch/roll enter dead zone is set to zero too. May be that's the issue.

I guess I didn't fully understand yet how to activate the F-16C autopilot. The DCS manual lists the following conditions for disengagement: Angle-of-Attack exceeds 15°. Bank angle exceeds 60°. Low speed audio warning is triggered. Landing gear is extended and locked. The autopilot has failed or malfunctioned. The FLCS is operating on Digital Backup software. ALT FLAPS switch is set to EXTEND position below 400 knots. TRIM/AP DISC switch is set to DISC position. AIR REFUEL switch is set to OPEN position. MANUAL PITCH switch is set to OVRD position. However although none of the above conditions are met after enganging alt hold autopilot the aircraft pitches or rolls off after a few seconds and must be stabilized manually to prevent uncontrolled flight. HDG sel does not seem to be activated to, at least the aircraft does not seem to follow to next steering point although it's activated and coords are set correctly. Please help to understand how to operate A/P correctly in the F-16C.

I would like to reopen this topic for a slightly different request: Resize left/right MFD display for Alt+F1 HUD view only. (no additional MFD display in F1 cockpit view) Any ideas?

No, I still don't use a mod manager. Although it's more work I prefer to manually track which file is going where. However, I guess I understand the logic now and I don't mind to manually edit inventory .lua files. I just would like to understand how DCS lists missions, campaigns, trainings etc.

Well, that's what I understood so far - and it's confusing for me too . All I would like to achieve is that missions, trainings, campaigns ect. gets listed with their selected module and map only to achieve reasonable directory listings and find the best way how to achieve this.

That's correct. If I like to achieve that for a commericial mod it has to be placed in DCS world/mods/aircraft/<module name>/missions which might break IC test as far as I understood.

As I have all maps, almost all modules and lot of commercial campaigns I am looking for a method to organize them and get resonable directory lengths. Saving just all missions in Saved Games/missions works, although results in a long inventory listing. I was looking for a way to list the assigned missions and trainings only to appear when their modul and map is selected. I understand that missions, campaigns, trainings, quickstart ect. rather have to be placed in their Saved Games/DCS/mods/aircraft/<module name>/missions subfolders to achieve that. For Trainings subfolder I need a lessons.lua inventory file (lessons=...) and for QuickStart i need a quickstart.lua inventory file (planes=...). Single does not need another inventory file. I hope that summarizes it correct.

Ok, understood for paid campaigns, missions and modules. But it's confusing for user generated modules, missions, trainings, quickstart, campaigns ect. I would like them to show up with their module they are intended for. I also do not understand the logic if and when a .lua inventory is required and how they must be named. Atm it's try and error for me.

You are probably right. Don't get me wrong, I really don't want a DCS 3.0 passing such an awful beta testing period like MSFS2024 in the last 8 months (and still does partially).

Well ... even with 64GB RAM (i9-14900K) + 16GB VRAM (RTX 4070 TiS) I still see stuttering sometimes. I never had any stutters with MSFS2024 with most graphic settings maxed out. May be the older graphics engine of DCS is coming to its limits?

Afaik ORBX is preparing another update and Kola map will leave early access July 22. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/2025-06-13

I suggest to generate a few more campaigns for Kola or Sinai maps.

*** Note to moderators: I don't know where to store this question correctly. Please feel free to move to appropriate forum. *** My issue is where to store Missions, Instant Missions, Campaigns, Trainings ect. correctly? Saved Games or DCS world, in Missions subfolder or Mods/aircraft/Missions subfolder ? When to generate a .lua inventory file?

These young guys - no patience

I guess if a pilot really wants to crash a plane he'll find a way, even with copilot and navigator in the cockpit. There's just to many critical issues which could possibly fail. May be better psychological screening of flight crews can help to prevent this.

Following the latest news it seems the pilot (or copilot) switched off fuel supply for all engines. I wonder how that's possible without the other pilot recognizing that immedeately. Afaik these switches are safety guarded switches which need to lifted first before they can be switched plus audio warnings in cockpit.

The issue only appears with language set to english. All other versions - german in my case - are displayed correct.

Thanks!

May be it's a stupid question but where do I find the Clouds Preset Menu?

I tried to open the training mission file Lesson 24 - JDAM Employment.miz from the training missions directory C:\DCS\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Missions\Training with the DCS Mission editor. DCS started to load and crashed. No track file available. Previous bug report:
