After the 22 Feb update, while in Auto Hover and Auto Slave mode, it will be stable mostly but every now and then the Gazelle goes into this weird pitching and rolling back and forth. You can see the autopilot channels of pitch and roll going 'crazy'. See attached track, near end. Look at it rocking from the external view. But the Gazelle manages to stay in position and not fall out of the sky. Can someone explain what's happening? Or is this simply autopilot WIP? Thanks Update: I think in trying to maintain the auto hover, the Gazelle over compensates and self-induces oscillation. You can see the CVS and ALV lights go funky between green and amber. It eventually oscillates itself out of hover criteria. When coupled with auto slave which is also WIP, it gets even worse. Manual hover and pedal to align is far more reliable than using these modes at the moment. SA342M Weird Behaviour.trk

Wasn't this way before the update. But I am experiencing frequent "DCS crashed" now when jumping (via Alt+J or slots) betw Gazelle types esp the M version.

I see thanks!

Hotas rebinding in progress but am a bit confused. They separated out the Pilot and Copilot bindings but many of the pilot bindings work when you are copilot eg. trim, autopilot functions, kneeboard, etc, meaning you don't need to map them in Copilot (just map them in Pilot) and they'll still work when you are Copilot.

South Atlantic Map Open Beta. 1. When F2 out of SA342M and jump into it another SA342M, hit Pause and sim hangs. (Unable to save Track when sim is hung.) 2. When selecting new slot that has SA342M, sim hangs once you are in SA342M. (Unable to save Track when sim is hung.) 3. When in SA342M/L, the rotors still turn when the sim is Paused.

Could not load the Syria map Northen Shield campaign missions (trained difficulty level). It just gets stuck at "Terrain Graphics Int: 97, Syria.ng5". The Caucasus campaign was ok.

Same experience here. So I am guessing if you set it to player and the rest AI, it knows that's the pit to preload so it is instant. While if you set it to player + clients or all clients, it doesn't know which slot you'll pick and hence does not preload any pit - the only way for it to be instant would be to preload all pits in the slots. (Only one player slot is allowed per mission in ME/SP.)

Thanks guys for the replies. Yeah I guessed as much it would be like the Tomcat but improved. I think with the great work done on Jester 2, a more capable AI pilot, though not the focus now, is certainly within HB’s expertise to do if they want to in the foreseeable future. I am thinking of the Apache too how it’s quite satisfactory (ok subjective) to play as CPG with the AI pilot, granted that with helos things are different as they are not fast movers and can hover.

Hi, I was wondering if the greying out of the photos in the manual (to highlight the part being taught) could be made less obvious (ie. make it a bit more transparent)? Maybe I am just not used to it but I find the greyed out photos a little strange on the eyes for learning and do prefer the traditional approach of numbering or boxing. I get what it is trying to do and it does negate the need for arrows and numbers/boxes. But I think the traditional approach helps the reader relate/reference the part being taught with the rest of the pit. Just a personal preference thing/feedback.

Hi, just wondering... Will the F-4E be fully mission capable in single player (human pilot + Jester RIO)? How good will Jester be as pilot?

The J10 B and C variants look pretty good after they removed the strange vertical struts holding the air intake in the A variant.

Nice J-10 docu...

3 yrs later.... Could not find details on this "shape" thing in both manuals or in YouTube tutorials. I guess it's not simulated and never will be? Am curious what it does though.

I too experienced the disappearing CRS line but didn't investigate. But this old thread seems to explain it. As I understand it now, first you need to be in the map scale that shows the TCN or WYPT symbol for which you set the CRS line. A TCN CRS line once set will always be visible if you are in the right map scale and have TCN button selected. However, when a CRS line is set on a WYPT, selecting another WYPT (W) or selecting TCN button causes the CRS line to disappear and the only way to get it back is to set it again. This doesn't feel right and I am not sure it happens this way in other jets.

I see, makes sense. DMS options are relatively under utilised when it comes to the TAD. And to think the module is already out of EA. It would appear, as I understand it, that the table in ED's latest manual describes what you explained, except the "CEN/DEP Mode" in DMSLS is in addition to "CNTR Own" (not sure why), and the former is also currently implemented in DMSRS (correctly or incorrectly) as a simple Cycle CEN/DEP. (Red boxes shows not implemented.)

Thanks for the detailed info and insight. I guess these commands aren't really necessary for the sim given the 'standard' setups are already there, except perhaps for the Track IR part B/S part.

Thanks. Probably so. They could at least update the manual to reflect how it works in the sim. I think this issue is 4 years old. That said, it would seem the bottom 2 (DMSAL and DMSLS) are not necessary since DMSRS already cycles CEN and DEP options.

3 years later... These TAD DMS functions are still not working? as per latest ED/Chuck's manuals. I take it these will never work in the sim and the manuals have not been updated accordingly. - DMS Fwd Long - Map Toggle - DMS Aft Long - Center Option (Why? DMS R Short already cycles CEN/DEP modes.) - DMS Left Short - CEN/DEP Mode CENTR Own (Whatever that means.)

Is this why we have this but it's not implemented?

Such things like binding issues and more switch options unfortunately are of low priority and get little to no attention though they are not difficult to address I assume.

+1

Doesn’t work with AI wingmen. Hopefully later on.

Roger that, thanks guys!

Do the PF and NF zones actually guide the Limas in a 'data transmitted to missile' way or are they purely for the flight's sharing and noting, on where to and where not to select their targets? I am thinking it's the latter.

Yes I did, all used up even on my warthog hotas. With the addition of FCR, I am just short of CPG FCR scan modes on a Hat although the saving grace is that you can mouse click on the LHG. Would be great if one day they could also include options for user opted long and short presses to get by.
