  1. Just don't forget the Lynx in that video has reversible blade pitch angle, effectively pushing the helicopter onto the deck as well as a harpoon on the bottom which grabs hold of the grid in the middle of the helicopter deck. Those features make a safe landing on a heaving ship a whole lot more safer :)
  2. I hope they cleared the dynamic spawn bug for Infantry so that they will actually be able to move and shoot instead of standing around like lemons..
  3. Post your mission file so we can look at it.
  4. Be advised though, dynamically spawned groups (like disembarking infantry) from a unit will just stand there picking their nose and not shooting or moving towards waypoints due to a bug in DCS at present. The bug is fixed internally (as stated by Ciribob) but hasn't been released yet, keep that in mind.
  5. I'll do some tests later tonight to see if the rudder input is the main culprit orsomething else.
  6. After noticing this behaviour, I can't really wrap my head around the physics involved. Here's the deal, when you are flying straight and level and turn with both cyclic and rudder, you eventually begin to ascend when in the turn. Now, I would expect the aircraft to drop because you are increasing your force vector in the direction of the turn so the resulting vector from all the forces would lead to a decrease in lift vector. I am wrong however, as I need to drop collective when in a turn with the Mi-8. Can anyone explain? From the FAA site: As the angle of bank increases, the total lift force is tilted more toward the horizontal, thus causing the rate of turn to increase because more lift is acting horizontally. Since the resultant lifting force acts more horizontally, the effect of lift acting vertically is deceased. To compensate for this decreased vertical lift, the angle of attack of the rotor blades must be increased in order to maintain altitude. The steeper the angle of bank, the greater the angle of attack of the rotor blades required to maintain altitude. Thus, with an increase in bank and a greater angle of attack, the resultant lifting force increases and the rate of turn is faster.
  7. known bug. dynamically spawned groups don't work right now. As far as I know, it's been fixed internally, we're just waiting for the next update...
  8. Have him buy the BS2 module complete is one of the flash-sales. I tried getting my BS1 through the update process but after numerous attempts at customer service of ED, failed miserably and ended up buying the BS2 module to be done with it.
  9. According to the manual you should be able to perform the start-up, blindfolded in 30 seconds....
  10. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=163418 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=159097 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=151436 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=141902 A quick search on this part of the forum yielded the above threads. Bottom-line, don't get your hopes up for a Black Shark upgrade. As far as ED is concerned, it's a finished product which is very unlikely ot receive any future upgrades.
  11. Welcome to 2016 thread, you were away form ore than a year.... As stated before, I wouldn't hold my breath for any update on the KA50 as we have it now.
  12. Happened to me as well by not being very gentle with the collective and not paying attention to the engine load meters. Never go above the highest red mark for long time otherwise she goes POOF.
  13. Started looking into this. Does it interfere with any other script such as, e.g. CTLD ?
  14. You might want to post this in the Mods section of the forums, perhaps other people can help? On a side note, using the CTLD script will allow you to drop smoke markers, different colours even. I use them in our traning missions to get wind direction prior to drop-off.
  15. Indeed, when given a command, they move into the formation in the heading needed but lead won't walk that way..
  16. Nobody is late with donating, we still need to reach the $3000,- mark!
  17. Videos won't play for me..
  18. It's stairway's choice, more people have commented on it.
  19. Donated again, I think you'll blow past the 2000 mark in no-time and will continue to see money trickle in as some people, like me, have a bank account withdrawal which takes a few days to process.
  20. But if a CA player gices them commands, do they attack then?
