It can and sometimes will be used in combat. And the footage may have a training purpose.

It's off by default so it must have been deliberately turned on. I do it too. Immersion you know :)

Yes fix it please! It was reported for the first time on the day the Huey was released. It is a feature that is implemented in all other DCS modules (also modules by BST). So it can't be impossible to fix. LUCKILY it is a known bug since 2013(http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=106102). Sarcasm overload. But do I think that they will fix it? No. It looks like not fixing this bug has become a matter of principle for BST.

'JESTER AI' - A Proprietary AI System for fully voiced, dependable and smart RIO/WSO I think this will be the most challenging feature to implement... No one in this community has ever been pleased with anything AI related :lol:

I suppose it's going to be another monday then... We're 1.5 hr into tuesday (for HQ in Poland, but also for Cobra and Novak) EDIT ^^^^ maybe not! Sniped by Cobra.

Yes engine performance is inaccurate. Although care should be taken in the use of the word 'accurate' because my assessment is based on calculated data (not sure physics based or semi-empirical, I assume the former). However, the discrepancy between this calculated data from the charts and the performance of the DCS Huey is significant enough to draw the conclusion that performance is 'way off'. see post. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1872872&postcount=4 And don't think that BST will ever fix this. The Huey is a finished product. (i.e. abandoned)

If you want to do it realistic, then before cutting the throttle by moving it all the way to stop past the lock, let you engine run idle for about two minutes. This will prevent oil coking. http://helicopterflight.net/turbine_transition.htm Please note that this effect is not modelled in DCS. But some people, like me, do the unnecessary to feel more immersed :smilewink:

Please note that it requires 7 minutes to reach 10000 m instead of 3 With missiles and a fuel tank it even takes 10. See post #10 PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS THREAD (It is mentioned multiple times here) IS BASED ON AN OUTDATED FM. ALL ISSUES POINTED OUT THERE HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.

Where did the 3 minute to 10000 m myth come from? It is bullshit. Maybe that is with afterburner. It's a better idea to refer to the official pilot's manual: In your case: 7 minutes for a clean configuration to get to 10000 m. Almost 10 minutes if you carry two missiles and a 490L drop tank...

Wait. My observations are quite the opposite: Changing UHF_Radio.lua does NOT work for the Huey Changing AriesAirborneRadio.ini DOES work for the Huey. I noticed because changing UHF_Radio.lua did not change anything in-game, but when I opened AriesAirborneRadio.ini I recognized the frequencies that I saw earlier so I assumed they were used. When I altered these frequencies It indeed correctly changed the presets, regardless of my edits to UHF-Radio.lua For both situations I use the knob on the AN/ARC-51 panel to switch between presets. Your software works better than you think... :)

Hey, Resolved, see edits below. EDIT: Since I can't find the option to alter presets in the configurator, is it safe to alter them in AriesAirborneRadio.cfg instead?

But still, shouldn't I be able to do this using the configurator?

Yes. 16000 m mach 2 with afterburner (not even full afb) cruises nicely. Make sure you maintain a high speed throughout the climb if you want to accelerate to mach 2 in a short amount of time. Preferably, don't go below 750 km/h indicated. In the cruise charts, 10 km seems to be the maximum for non-afb cruise with an A2A loadout. Cruise performance for heavy A2G loadouts is measured/calculated up to 5 km, so don't expect to cruise with such a loadout easily at 10 km altitude.

Did you record your R-2 kill on 104th?

Radio seems to switch to random frequencies. Sometimes the frequencies do not correspond to what they should be. Like channel 7 (Kobuleti tower, 133.000) becomes 124.250. So far this only occurred on multiplayer servers. It is completely random. In the same mission, my wingman had all the correct frequencies, whereas all my frequencies were messed up. We were able to track down this issue by displaying the actual frequency on the ARIES panel.

U = Unknown Not UAV. (Besides, how could the RWR possibly detect a UAV if the UAV is not transmitting radio waves?)

1 - External fuel tanks will be used first automatically 2 - You don't and you can't 3 - As the fuel gauge only uses actual fuel flow as input data, it will not adjust if a non-empty external tank is jettisoned

My best is exactly 25000 m. That is with 4 missiles... 15000 m, Mach 2.05 - Zoom climb. I actually got higher as you can tell from the vs gauge...

I noticed that sometimes the radio pre-sets are completely messed up... ARIES can display the frequency and sometimes this frequency is completely random and not according to the kneeboard or mission editor. Like 132.000 becomes 142.975. I also noticed that if you don't have the Mig-21 installed, you can not edit frequencies in the ME. Could it be that a Mig-21 placed by someone without the Mig-21 installed messes up the frequencies?

I usually enter a climb at ~950 km/h, then climb with around 15 m/s to 6000-7000 m (IAS is around 750 km/h by then). Then I engage the afterburner and accelerate to supersonic speed (while climbing). I usually level off at 15000 m with a speed close to mach 2. With that speed I could easily reach 18000 m while cruising >mach 2. Zoom climbing from this altitude took me up to 34000 m once, but there is no way you can fly there. 15000 seems to be a good supersonic cruise altitude for me. Maintaining a high speed (and thereby a relatively low vertical speed) allows you to easily overcome the drag by a large AOA. Make sure your speed does not fall below 700 km/h or it will take a long time before you reach supersonic speed, especially while climbing a bit. Another method is zoom climbing, as portman explains in the post above. I prefer my own continuous climb method. I have used this method with a2a loadouts only...

There will be many new systems included. Even some of the existing instruments receive an upgrade (e.g. TARSYN replaced by a more modern system, which requires brand new code). Compare the CC cockpit with the EB cockpit and you can see some of these additions and replacements. The flight model is also different. It is not fair to compare it to TF-51 / P-51D

I hope it is not the return of the fuel accumulation bug? Can't test right now :( Nose cone is set to on now after rearming, so that can not be the problem unless you manually turn it off.

Did you read my reply? Because I explained exactly how to do just that. Adjust by using controls for lateral movement, zoom and view angles. Save with with RAlt + Num0 Now when you press the default view button (Num 5) it will return to YOUR saved position/angles and when you press the default zoom button (num ENTER) it will go to YOUR saved zoom setting. It is saved in a file so you will keep your settings everytime you fly in singleplayer and multiplayer. I used it in almost all aircraft to get a default view/zoom to my liking. Isn't that what you want? New default view position and/or angles and/or zoom?

You can adjust your view in any cockpit using in-game controls (and save it too). I don't have access to DCS right now. Just look in the view options. There is something like save view/snapview or something. You can adjust the default zoom, move with 6DOF and save the new position using this button. edit: From the Eagle wiki: Customising the Default View Press Num5 to reset your view to the current default. Adjust your view to what you want as the new default but do not use any snap view keys in the process!. If you have TrackIR, you will probably need to shut it off while doing this, otherwise it won't save the view the way you want it! Press RALT+Num0 - your new default view should now be saved. IIRC the buttons to move laterally are RALT + Numpad buttons (or RCTRL), numpad asterix (*) and fwd slash (/) to adjust zoom.

How does it sound? A bit like this? I hope it does/will. Very characteristic sound!

Maybe they are running the latest OB (update 3, with the C-101 from Aviodev)? As far as I know they always run the latest version, even if it's beta. Or is update 3 not in the OB yet?
