Nevermind. My bad, there was another post on the same problem.

The mission briefing says: I take off from Maykop, take the fishermen from the Subbase. I get them off near the indicated island. I take off and then land at Apsheronsk...and nothing happens. Not even the landing briefing. Am I doing something wrong?

To LanceR C standard were brought 2 MFs and 24 MF-75s.

The LanceR systems are still classified.

Short mission to test a2a capability of the Mirage2000. Enjoy

I understand. The matter is clear now. Thanks a lot to all. :)

English is not my first language, I might have explained it wrong or incompletly. If you take a look at the small clip I posted and also I said it earlier, when I press the pedals the light goes off and the channel disconnects (the vertical bar that shows how hard the AP is working to keep the helicopter on the selected heading comes back to neutral). When I take my foot of the pedal and the pedals reach the neutral position the light comes back on and the channel reingages automaticly. As far as I know on the real Mi-17, the light and the channel stay on until it is manualy turned off by someone (presses the red light-button on the AP panel or the AP Disconnect Button on the cyclic). For instance, when ever you press the trimmer button on the cyclic, the pitch and roll channel lights don't go off and the channel doesn't disengages until I finish triming. The question about the pedals / heading channel is: is this behavior (difference between sim and reality) normal in the sim, or is it a bug?

Thanks for the answer. This is what I was searching for :)

That's my question too. As in real life it operates different than the sim.

When I bring the pedals to neutral (the moment I stop applying input on the pedal) the green light turns ON by itself and the channel automatically re-engages.

So I explained how it is in the real Mi-17 and what I have in the simulated Mi-17, is this a bug, or some sort of compromise?

So this is not a bug? On the real Mi-17 during normal operation, flights are executed with both Heading and Roll/Pitch channels ON. The Heading channel is signaled as ON or Working by the small green light on the AP panel. When the pilot presses the pedal, the green light stays ON (red light OFF) signaling the Heading channel is not disengaged during the use of the anti-torque pedals. This works the same as with the cyclic trimmer, whenever you press the trimmer button the Roll/Pitch channel green signal light is still ON. In the sim when I press the pedals the green light for the Heading channel goes off (red light is still off). In reality this means there's a AP system fault.

Maybe this was discussed, and I couldn't any reference to it. I noticed during my flights that whenever I press the pedals the heading channel on the autopilot disconnects (the green light goes off and the indicator bar moves in the middle). In real life this doesn't happen, the channel stays ON until manually disconnected by a crew member or due to a system fault. Anyone has this issue to? Any thoughts about it? Bellow a small clip with the issue.

So, no =)) Thanks for your answer.

Would DCS 1.5 run on a system with a GT 8800 video card?

Am I seeing things or it has been implemented the main rotor downdraft influence over the speed indicator during hover flight?

How about posting some movies with the Mi-8 in DCS 1.5 for us folk that cannot enjoy it.

With the latest patch update I get the same error with dx11backend.dll

That rotator is just for checking Voltages.

Same here.

For KO-50 will be also the sound modeled?....and also the smoke?

Very nicely done. What ground textures do you use? They are very nice and realistic.

Art-J, thanks man. I solved the problem with your post. No need to reinstall DCS or Mi-8 module. For radio transmisions until 1.2.14 I used the "\" key to contact ATC and it worked. Seems that with the new 1.2.15 it changed. If I use "RAlt+\" I can contact ATC and it responds.

It was working well with 1.2.14. But since I updated to 1.2.15 it doesn't work. I don't want to be rude, but since there were bugs often introduced with almost every update, I suspect that this is a new bug that came with 1.2.15. It is a little frustrating.

In ME I've selected helicopter as being Russian, and also chose the airport to be Russian (Red team).
