I’ve tested with all the modules I have that fly from a carrier. So all helicopters, and hornet and Harrier. All act the same, they just don’t touch the deck on this ship. At mission start they are on then within a second they all just levitate - with the hornet it does a big back flip and lands on its back!! All other carriers are fine. I’ve tried removing all mods with no effect. I should maybe try another repair.

Any ideas, folks?

I really wish that ED somehow provide the sdk to 3rd parties or serious modders so they could add to maps themselves (payware or not) - pending EDs approval of course. The maps would build up so much more quickly. Imagine Normandy (UK area) full of airfields and towns etc - as it should be. Doesn’t look as though Urga media will be doing this though. I’m sure not quite as simple and straight wards as that though!! Just a thought

Have they said that?? If so, nice, I’ve been looking forward to an internal pilot body for a about 4 decades for the A-10C

I agree with hgvip. I’d say probably 80% of people don’t fly historically accurate missions, so yeah, bring all seasons to Normandy, have a nice change.

For some reason I’m getting much better fps today. I uninstalled the mod and updated DCS. Ok, so this time I didn’t rename the DCS folders back from dcs.old or did I delete the fxo and meta2, I just reinstalled the mod via ovgme. I did actually try and update the you firmware (idea from another thread - which turned out to be already up to date). Anyways going back into DCS my fps are sitting reliably at 45 (apart from in Nevada at Nellis-22 fps). Normandy also has much greater fps and that was really bad for me. One thing I did notice a massive difference was the Time Accelerate, on long trips and getting bored I’d skip time and my fps would always go down to the very low single digits. But now!! Bloody hell, it’s still sitting at 45fps!!! Happy days

Damn, was so looking forward to this! Alas my firmware was already up to date

Hi Shadow, Ok, the game doesn't crash, it allows me to carry on as normal, I can move about to the parking spot, I can even take off. The harrier just isn't sitting on the new (updated) Razbam Tarawa - it's about 1m off the deck. But sits perfectly fine on the Stennis. All mods are off. I'm using the up-to-date open Beta

So coming into land it stops about 1m off the deck. I still get the call to go to parking area though which I can and I shut down. It only happens on this ship. any ideas? Cheers

Yeah, eBay is usually where I go to sell my old stuff. Unless you can sell it to a mate or someone local on Facebook/gumtree maybe?

The grass is now dark green. Is this happening with everyone?

Lol. Yes, good idea

Nice to know Racoon. Cheers

Yep, I agree. As DCS gets better and better (and more complex) higher end pc’s to run it at reasonable graphical and fps levels, especially with vr, are becoming more and more necessary. If you’re having issues with your current card or desperate to get a new one then go ahead. Personally at this stage I’d wait it out and see what the 1180 will bring in the next couple of months (reportedly the first card will be similar to the 1080ti). Plus you’ll still get half decent price for your 970 to offset the cost. And yeah, the price of ram is so out of control these days, but if you can afford it, get at least 16gb

Remember also if you are using a uk keyboard you’ll need to remap it - OEM102 (different name but same function as \)

You can change the speed of the tdc in one of the mfcd pages. Can’t remember which as it’s been a good while since I flew it. Check the manual.

It's scheduled to be on RC next week iirc

Will we get internal pilot models? It really kills immersion without them for me

Yep, I did all that like I tried to say in my first post, and delete the fxo and meta2 files like it says in the instructions. And yes, it did take about 10 mins or so to load the sim to load. Cheers

I’m stuck, I’ve been trying all day with this and simply can’t can’t any improvement. Not sure where I’m going wrong. I haven’t changed any settings either. Deleted the metacaches in each map and renamed the dcs folder to .doc Deleted everything from the saved games fxo and meta2 folders Copied the shaders folder to my desktop and replaced the files within it with the downloaded ones. No performance gain. Tried the same using ovgme. No performance gain. I get the weird looking grass though but the frames are still crap. Any suggestions? I really could do with getting some decent fps like most people seem to. I’ve tried with the spit, Harrier and hornet so far on a couple of instant actions ready on ramp - 15-17 fps!! With or without the mod installed. Cheers

Sold

For anyone is interested. This was a BBC series from late 1990’s. Showing British Army helicopter pilot recruits going through their 1 year course to get their ‘wings’ in Gazelles. 6 part series, each half an hour long.

Cheers mate, I shall try tomorrow

What, African or European swallow?

Not brilliant pics, sorry. But here you go. It’s just a small piece of foam with the thumb stick pushed through which doesn’t really protrude or otherwise get in the way of the new stick. Using an oversize piece will give more resistance which I’ll try at some point but at the moment I’m happy with it.
