It's not dead, they've said it's still alive. I'd be lying if I said that the lack of WIP posts is a bit concerning, but according to them, it's not dead. So...kinda doubtful but yeah

It's been a couple of updates/patches, can you please bump it again? FPS loss during firing a Vikhr is something that should get fixed ASAP. Really bad considering the Vikhr is something everybody uses.

There are three main reasons we don't have modern Russian aircraft 1: Not enough information 2: Geopolitics 3: Safety for ED employees As we know, ED is a Swiss and Russian company, with employees otherwhere, which obviously means they have to deal with a lot of restrictions, and also the safety of their employees Russia wouldn't like it if a company modeled their Ka-52 as accurately as possible. Y'know, the helicopter that's currently being used in the Ukrainian-Russo war? I don't think the ED employees would be fond of an FSB raid. Even if they modeled the Ka-52K, the aircraft is still pretty much the same thing as Russia's Ka-52. It's still a Ka-52, despite the English avionics, better avionics cooling, reinforced fuselage, corrosion resistance, etc. I think it's just way too risky.

Not true. Stop spreading disinformation.

Got it working after installing the mod manually. Thanks for the awesome mod!

I installed both the mod and the fix via OVGME, but I'll install the mod manually

Hello I have what I believe to be the latest version of the VPC mod As well as the VPC fix for 2.9.6 But when I load into DCS, it says that the VPC mod has failed to authorize. I'm installing them via OVGME. I believe that I might have the wrong version for the main mod. Can someone please send the latest download links? Thank you

Could the developers provide some low-flying helicopter footage to give us a better sense of what the ground will look like? (not including the cities or densely populated areas) I like the outline of the ground from high altitudes (keyword, high alts), but as some users have mentioned in this thread, it does appear to be the fake shadow textures. I think this could be fixed with texture LODs and various ground textures and surface types that can be algorithmically combined based on the satellite imagery (hopefully I'm using the right terms ), instead of the infamous digital zoom sat imagery, which I believe casts those weird, flat "shadows." I know it's WIP, but I personally don't want to see the same stuff that we see in Iraq and Afghanistan. I do trust Ugra to deliver a fantastic product, so I hope it all turns out well and that I'm simply incorrect. I am judging something clearly WIP lol And I'm mainly a helicopter guy, which means I want the main thing I'll be looking at (the ground) to be good, and this map is perfect for the BO-105, so I of course flock to the maps that have a ground like Normandy 2.0

The media of the map looks very good. Imo, Ugra Media makes the best maps in DCS. Syria is as popular and used as it is for a reason... I don't think immediately buying is something that you should do, and I'll apply that for anything and everything. Always invest some time and research when buying things, at least for DCS. That's what I do. I'm sure it'll be a good map, but I'm more afraid of performance than terrain glitches and/or other discrepancies.

Will there be a trail for Fulda Gap? I'd love to test out the map first before I buy it. I know Syria and Normandy 2.0 are both available for trial, so just wondering if this one will be the same. Also, will it be available for trial on day one? Thanks.

I think the W would probably be more sensitive in terms of sensors and added equipment. However, the UH-60M's avionics (which the HH-60W has) are definitely possible to an above acceptable extent I'd say. CSAR would be something I'd look forward to in core DCS.

100% agree with you. Personally, if you asked me, it's because the modules with glass cockpits probably sell better, considering the majority of DCS players probably like that. Also, the AH-64D and CH-47F both have glass cockpits, so that could be another reason as to why they want to do a UH-60M. But I'm not a fan of the M, and I'd much rather have a UH-60L or even a UH-60A if an HH-60G is not possible.

Literally what the title says lol. I believe the HH-60G would be such a better fit for DCS than the UH-60M. Radar, touchscreen display with camera, IFR probe, capability of crew chiefs fixing the guns forward and letting the pilot shoot them (there's your DAP), sexy analogue Blackhawk cockpit, with a good mix of gauges and displays, and so much more I understand that the UH-60M could provide more specific purpose to DCS that ED really wants to capitalize on, especially with the dynamic campaign starting to pop up more, but in my opinion, the HH-60G is a better fit for DCS Snapinsta.app_video_AQPpSt04CadaSb8phiHPvAFT_b_EqK5aerk2VvYBuyJrtMT9idzMrvFchXDKQkfVFn82rqwQe1iHXL8tvXCESi5qXeH5q_LcTC1QTBg (1) (1).mp4

Hello. Is this public now?

Ability for user to fold and unfold chairs in the cargo bay. Technically, it's already possible, but you need to actually load cargo to get them to fold up.

Pretty much exactly what the title says. The only way to get people in the cargo bay is by having the door gunner/s selected. There should be a crew chief AND flight engineer modeled that will be in the Chinook by default, and only able to be turned off in the special options or the ME. Also being able to select the amount of personnel we want would be nice. The X-Plane 11 CH-47D developed by XTrident has them move around and even shows them pop their heads over to look at cargo. I'd say that you gather all of your SMEs, ask them where they are and what they do in the aircraft during different stages of flight or mission, like takeoff, cruise, landing, troop pickup, cargo, slingloading, etc., and ask them how long they're there for. (Not to sound rude, just couldn't find a better way to word it ) Also, if you do that, I think it'd also be nice for you to provide default keyboard controls to actually walk around, because we have the use the "cockpit move camera" or have a VR headset to effectively move around. I'd believe this would provide a good foundation if a crew chief/flight engineer AI is planned. Thanks!

The Google Drive link has been taken down. Is the mod owner able to give me a download to the latest version, or anyone on this thread?

And by instrument panel, I mean the "backboard". You can see how it goes downwards and then curves. Sorry if I can't explain it well.

No haha, this You see how it's curved?

After seeing a CH-47F cockpit video, I realized that the instrument panel we have in the DCS CH-47F is incorrectly modeled. The real CH-47F's instrument panel has a curve on it, and is also longer. Here's a picture of the DCS CH-47F vs a real-life CH-47F: null I believe this is because the Chinook that was originally announced was the ICH-47F, the Italian Chinook based off of the Foxtrot, but with more radios and equipment that's dedicated more towards SAR/CSAR. Also, the air vent control lever on the outboard side has nothing to do with whether it's curved or not. Here's a picture of a CH-47F without the air vent control lever, which you can tell is the exact same: (Kind of hard to see, sorry) If more pictures are necessary, I can provide.
