TACAN has to be “ON” as well

Try deleting the meatshaders and/or fxo folder in savedgames. That worked for me.

I've encountered this bug a few times. Happens when you stop a bit too far ahead of sled. It allows you to connect, but not launch.

Human rotor brake:pilotfly:

What was your problem, and how did you fix it? I'm experiencing the same.

Remember to come to a full stop for a few seconds to get scoring before taxiing off. I instinctly taxied off after hook retracted and got wrong wire trap scoring. Is it possible to have the cockpit set up properly for carrier landing before start? (eg. anti skid, aoa indexer, rad alt)

Repaired it and has a vanilla install. Still same problem on campaign missions

No, there are actually a lot of helicopters that don't. As for the technique for those with, the way AlphaOneSix described is most commonly used and gives the most comfortable ride.

Join a squadron that accept rookies.

Some pilots also like the move then click method. Works better with ffb stick or irl.

There is a grid in the deck http://www.thinkdefence.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/6147-740x478.jpg

I had that same fault today, and here is what worked for me: Except I don't have the config file. Thank you, Firehead

I'm talking about rotor deicing. If the dewpoint spread is low, you do risk icing on the engine intakes even in clear air, yes. Intake deice uses power, indeed. I haven't noticed any negative effects using the rotor deice, but I haven't done any serious testing.

Also you have to turn on the rotor deice system. For some reason you lose performance when it's below zero C, even in clear air. It's a DCS thing.

That's quite normal. If the ship moves there will be a relative wind the helicopter moves through. It can get pretty shaky. In high winds the blades can flap a lot with a risk of striking the tail boom during start and shutdown. Check this:
