You don't usually land with over 11000 lbs of fuel, this is one of your problems. Try with less, let's say 3000lbs of fuel and a cleaner jet (maybe with only two empty bags). Also your 2.5 degrees line should be aligned with your FPV and with your runway aiming point (touchdown zone) while maintaining 11 degrees AoA. You are using a Hornet style landing technique which doesn't work on the Viper. The Viper glide path angle (not AoA angle) should be around 2.5 to 3 degrees max, that translates into around 500fpm of vertical speed on final approach, you have around 2000fpm which way is to much. You're in a Viper, not in a Hornet. The Hornet technique will destroy the Viper upon touchdown.

Now it's clear. Thank you.

This initial question hasn't been answered. What happened to SniperXR, VSR, DTC and the rest? Are these systems not going to be implemented anymore?

I use HTS with AGM-88 HARMs to destroy the radars (their ability to see) and afterwards I come with either CBU-105 or Mavericks to finish the job. I stay at a safe distance from the SAM and from here I force them to fire their missiles on me. There are SAMs that have the ability to shoot down your missiles or bombs (AGM-154) that's why I choose to destroy their radars first. I wait for a break in their fire and that's when I use my missiles to destroy their radars.

In WPN page TMS down short and then the modes can be changed.

What if it's the other way around? What if the basic model has the chute, and the customer (USAF in this case) chose not to add it? What's your source? Blk 50s have drogue chutes, but this won't be simulated in DCS because we have a depiction of a USAF model.

I know and understand that the aircraft depicted in DCS is a USAF block 50 circa 2007 (if my memory serves me right about the year). I was just answering to G.J.S. who stated that block 50s don't have drogue chutes, when in fact there actually are blk50s operating with it in other air forces. As is with the A/B models (portuguese don't have chutes, while dutch models have).

Polish, greek and turkish block 50 F-16s have drogue chutes.

In the Russian VSI one notch is 1 m/s. If the needle is on 5, than that's 5 m/s of vertical speed. 200 m/min is around 3 m/s which might get you in VRS or at least a 'bumpy' landing.

I've setup a mission of free flying to get used to the machine. During two landing attempts I noticed the tail rotor just loses authority. With my right pedal fully pressed the helicopter continued to rotate to th e left (counterclockwise). Yaw channel was also engaged. I've attached a track file for analysis. Mi-24 tail rotor.trk

Inverting X and Y in the FF Tune options worked. Thank you so much for the assistance.

Yes, FFB is enabled in the MISC options. I use the same settings as for the Mi-8. In Mi-8 the trimmer works, but in Mi-24 it doesn't.

I fly helicopters with a Logitech G940 with FFB. In the Special meniu I have selected the Default trimmer settings and also I have selected pedal trim (as like in the Mi-8 module) but it doesn't work. It doesn't trim the cyclic. The trimmer button doesn't work and also the trimmer hat doesn't work. Sometimes it trims the pedals, but not always. If necessary I will provide a track file.

On a Logitech G940 with FFB the cyclic trim doesn't work at all. It only trims the pedals.

Thank you all for your replies. I deleted the files as Desert Fox suggested (it was the easiest to do) then I selected 'repair DCS' and I launched the sim. Now it works ok.

Unfortunately I've messed up my cockpit view point in DCS while playing with TrackIR. I've tried moving the position of the pilot's head view point, but it's still weird. Can anyone help me with the original file that sets the default cockpit pilot head view position?

I have the Thrustmaster Warthog joystick. On my throttle I have a switch, if I push it down I transmit in VHF, if a press it up I transmit in UHF. If the receiving station (in your instance the refueling aircraft) is on UHF but I transmit in VHF, the station won't respond.

Try WPN page SOI and TMS down short. Should solve the stuck issue.

Just tried it and it seems to work. I will test it further later. Thank you!

Here's a track where MAV gets stuck in BORE. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LLYUhN9hKzf3ZhmmxS7baXz-sv_DWUMY/view?usp=sharing

I see that with the last OB update (2.5.6.59398) there is no indication on the HUD for 'Time to waypoint'. Distance to waypoint is still there.

Still a problem here changing between VIS/BORE/PRE

When rearming and refueling if I have an exterior fuel tank attached that is empty and I request the ground crew to rearm and refuel, when they finish with their work the external fuel tank is still empty. The only way to refill it is to again select the rearm and refuel menu, uninstall the external fuel tank and then reinstall it on the wing or on the center pilon.

So, after the update it seems that I needed to reinstall it. Why? It was already installed and working ok before.

I've updated to 2.5.2.20143 and the GPS is not appearing on the left pilot panel in the Mi-8. I can access it with LSHIFT+LALT+B tho'. I've ticked the "Allow NS430" from the menu and with no joy.
