Support was quick for me, thanks for linking the accounts!

At about 20 minutes he says that it took them 2 man/months to implement it. That goes for a modern engine though.

DCS Mi-8MTV2 ! You are a truly nice person for doing a giveaway like this :)

Havent gotten anything either. Also a PM to luthier went unanswered.

You have to ask the ground crew using the comm menu to swap your HMS for NVG. Then you use it using 'H', just like you would your HMS. Youll have to tweak around a bit with the brightness knobs in the cockpit, but youll get used to it. In some cases it can be helpful to use the hud filter to see the hud with NVG on.

This looks horrible, good to hear the pilots managed to bail out. Since the blades are still intact I guess they didnt use their ejection seats.

The dora has 10,51m wingspan, which is 34.5 feet.

I was under the impression that the FW190 was an even better energy fighter, also the AI is very good at conserving energy in itself. Playing by the FW's rules might not be a good idea for survival. In P-51 vs P-51 it depends on the pilot. If you're good at dogfighting and your enemy in MP isnt, well, you just might want to get him to a turning fight. Therefore I think this is a bit too generalized. Holding visual contact is most important, I have to agree :)

Maybe a frozen pitot?

Epic picture!

You have to turn the canopy crank with your mouse.

Please dont do what he said, that is bad advice. I would rather hold the tail down as the manual says until around 90 mph where it starts to rise on its own. You hold the plane on track by anticipating the torque movements with some soft rudder inputs, not by wheel brakes.

This pretty much. Only some UK news site trying to feed their website with Syria news all day :)

I would for sure welcome an upgrade of the georgian map utilizing the new terrain engine..... .... :)

That is because the Airspeed indicator starts to work at around 20 knots...

Download DCS World, download the A10C module and enter your key when youre asked for it :)

Im using Unwrap UVW too. UV Map might be quick, but its not efficient and a pain to draw a texture. Essentially all of the functions of UV Map are in Unwrap UVW too, but I would personally do it all by hand, because Max can't tell what sections of the texture are up close to the player and therefore need to be scaled larger on the UV. Also there isnt yet any Algorithm that can effectively place all the UV islands so youre not wasting UV Space. That said, I dont know how experienced you are with Unwrapping (although your work so far indicates you know your stuff). The best places to gain knowledge on such subjects and ask specific questions are dedicated 3d Art forums, such as polycount. Have a look there if we cant help you :)

Looking great! May I ask you what you did to archieve the cuts for the windows and doors? Did you use your exterior and cut it or did you use retopo tools?

Those two in combination show pretty nicely, whats going on there. Makes up a nice turbosmooth exercise :P

Analogue all the way then! If it keeps you out of trouble thats the way to go.

We need a Bf-109!

1. Are you, in principle, willing to participate in crowdfunding a module for DCS? High-fidelity, low-fidelity or both? Yes. If yes: 2. Did you participate in either of the two Third Party crowdfundings so far (those being Beczl's Indiegogo campaign and Kinney's Kickstarter campaign)? Only the Mig-21bis. If yes: 2a. Was there some item of information, some pledge reward or some interaction on the part of the developers that would have caused you to increase your pledge? No, I already pledged 10$ more for a Bonus DVD, because the project seemed promising enough. 3. What level of existing assets do you require in order to take a crowdfunding campaign "seriously"? Is it enough to see a concept, renders of the model, the model in action, etc. How far should developers go before turning to the community? They should at least have something ingame and flying. The external model is one of the things thats needed first when you start a project and I expect the developer to demonstrate at least some knowledge with the engine (getting something ingame). Also I need to know about some past work of the developers. That might sound picky, but Kickstarter is a risk for the consumers and I expect to see the same risk taken by the developers (developing a prototype, creating a 3d model). If they believe in their project, they need to show it. 4. Finally, what would be your realistic budget in order to help get a module of something that interests you made? 40€is my ceiling. Im not in the situation to shell out hundreds of euros, so 40€ is as far as I want to go when I could possibly lose all of it. That goes for something that really interests me, of course.

You can easily get a used X-52 for under 100$

New, complete WW2 theater along with new EDGE powered terrain of middle europe? That would make me quite happy :)

Ich finde es sehr lobenswert, dass du der Community durch solche Tutorials helfen willst, ich muss aber zumindest auf die Huey #3 und #4 Videos sagen, dass es vielleicht ratsamer wäre, wenn du selber noch ein bischen üben würdest, bevor du versuchst, anderen die Techniken zu vermitteln. Das bitte jetzt nicht falsch verstehen, ich selber habe den Uh-1 seit einer Woche und bin wohl auch kein besserer Pilot, ich sehe aber auch Fehler, bei denen es gefährlich wäre, wenn Anfänger sich das aneignen würden. Das Hover Video ist in Ordnung, der Hover ist aber nicht wirklich stabil, sodass, wenn jemand versucht, sich daran zu orientieren, er eventuell denkt, dass sein Hovern ok wäre, was ihm aber bei der Landung und beim Maneuverieren am Boden Probleme bereiten kann, weil er die Technik eben nicht sauber gelernt hat. Dein Landeanflug zur ersten Landung war meiner Meinung leider der schlimmste Teil. Du kommst zu flach auf die Landebahn zu (Bei 2:30 kommt fast das Wire Strike Kit zum Einsatz) und bist zu schnell. Dazu die Grafik im Anhang für den Anflug (generell das Kapitel über Landungen ist sehr hilfreich). Dazu kommt, dass du starke Probleme hast, den Heli grade zu halten, was letztenendes zu dem "Driften" beim Aufsetzen führt. Das Problem, den Heli mit Collective abzufangen, wenn du aus dem Transistional Lift herauskommst, umgehst du zwar durch solch eine apprupte Landung, der Drift birgt aber die Gefahr, dass sich der Heli überschlägt, oder die Kufen überlastet werden. Eine solchen "rollende Landung" wird nur im Ernstfall geflogen und selbst dann sollte man tunlichst vermeiden, umherzudriften. Ich hoffe, dass dir das hilft (ich hatte mir das vorher auch nicht angeschaut, muss ich gestehen ), und hoffentlich auch allen anderen, die den Post hier sehen. Nochmal, das soll auf keinen Fall irgendwie abwertend rüberkommen, ich kann verstehen, dass hinter einem kurzen Youtube Filmchen eine Menge Arbeit stecken kann, deswegen hab ich mich bemüht, hier nicht bloß kurzsilbig rumzukritisieren sondern versucht, das ganze mit Auszügen aus dem Handbuch hoffentlich einigermaßen konstruktiv zu halten.
