Have been flying with the new FM some time now. I can land anywhere now, great. But here are some things I don't understand/I've never seen before. - In forward flight it seems a bit wobbly. The whole helicopter behaves like a pendulum. Does this have anything to do with the updated stabilizer bar mechanics? - Also happened with the old FM. In transition flight you sometimes suddenly gain or lose a lot of lift which results in either a short drop (almost free-fall) or a rocket-assisted launch upward. Should it be like that? Or am I doing something wrong?

Good to hear that this is realistic! Now the fun can really begin! :) Shame that our doubts about the new FM are referred to as 'whiny'. There is no way to miss the point even more and the use of the word 'whiny' should be replaced by the word 'critical' at the very least. Thank you.

The point is that we're not sure if it's more realistic because it became easier than expected, flying the Huey...

Tietze, does this have something to do with units that seem to teleport when they're hit in multiplayer. It happened to me today. I hit a vehicle in a group of three and they instantly changed from location.

Exactly! I keep repeating myself... I'd like to hear some thrustworthy opinions soon... But I do hope the FM is more accurate. Now I can do almost everything I want...

I just landed on top of one of those red/white towers that you can find around the apron on airports... I could barely do that with the KA-50. I seriously have my doubts about this excessive stability. It flies like how I imagine game mode... Waiting for opinions of real helicopter pilots... But if this FM is accurate I'm going to be very happy :thumbup:

Isn't this a bit too stable? I can fly this thing more precise that KA-50 now. Looking forward to hear opinions from real pilots...

Did I miss something? My autoupdater didn't do anything... ?? How many hours ago did this update take place? EDIT: Got it, but why launch the update before making an official announcement?

Awwww... that hurts... What went wrong there? It looked so stable and then suddenly...

Nice find!

You don't say... :smilewink:

I'm looking for nice combat footage... anyone?

I totally agree. After they really finish the Huey, which is obviously not the case yet, they should take a well deserved break and then shift focus to the Mi-8.

DCS Mi-8MTV-2 module I think it deserves it's own thread... I can't wait to fire that! :joystick:

Hey, Over the last couple of days flying online and having an awesome time in the Huey we came up with some idea's that we'd like to see implemented in a later stage... - Optional hand-held GPS instead of the kneeboard. Can also be attached to the window using a suction cup, or screwed on top of the dash, or maybe even integrated in the dash. GPS doesn't have to be a very modern system. A GPS like the Bendix/King KLN90B for example would do just fine. There should be an (enforceable) option to turn it off for Nam style scenario's. - Integrate the Huey in the warehouse and resupply system. To allow Huey's to fly transport missions all the time. - Interaction between crew members. Gunners warning me if they spot a muzzle flash, Gunners that fire, A co-pilot who can fire the miniguns etc... - Ejected pilots that can actually be picked up to allow ©SAR missions throughout a multiplayer

Change the frequency to something in UHF range. Try 225, 251 something like that.

Not hearing your own voice is a bug in DCS World...

Good. :) Just made the V1.4 release official... See first post.

As far as I know Insurgent AK and RPG infantry do not have moving animations and for that reason they decided to not move at all because it would look silly if they're floatin' about ;)

Took over control, took off, requested landing. ATC working. Notice that you can only abort takeoff when doing a hot start and that's what made you think the ATC is broken. Do a cold start and request start-up, hover-check and takeoff as usual. It does work, really. Come on guys. 11 Downloads and feedback from one? :huh:

Oh yeah... and I forgot that you are a heli pilot...:music_whistling:

There have been some rumours about that. But no, check the track. It's from a FARP...

Just did a very fast flight. See track. Everything working! Don't mind the flying. I was really good untill I entered a real heli :) ATC does work.trk

Yesterday I did quickstart takeoff from Beslan and was able to request takeoff... I'll investigate this further. It could be something that has nothing to do with the mod.

Thanks! ATC also working?
