F-22 style HMCS display for F-16Demo
secret1962 replied to LJQCN101's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
That version doesn't force itself on the screen. But if you want to use it, the screen goes black and you can't see anything but the HMCS symbology. Same problem. -
F-22 style HMCS display for F-16Demo
secret1962 replied to LJQCN101's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
I can't get the HMCS to work with the latest version (MAYBE earlier versions work but didn't test, I don't know if it's a problem on my part). I feel like the problem is that I need to make the game fullscreen in the menu to get rid of the HMCS displaying (hiding the menu itself) using alt+enter. Also, starting from the ground does indeed create problems. The pitch and roll axis just won't work. Looks like my pitch and roll axis just went crazy (red). Even with restart, no solution. I even tried minimizing the A overlay (HMCS) and load into the game and look how it'd go.. looks like HMCS overlay just froze. I suspect the overlay is hiding the background (which becomes black) EDIT2: The HMCS unfroze... I maximized it back and it works but hides all the background of the game (which becomes black). I think there's some kind of bug. Is there some problem with 1920x1080 resolution ? I will just add that pressing M in the menu does change the view, but even in the disabled one the screen is still black. Seems to be a game-overlay conflicting issue. -

Make sure to download the specified branch DO NOT DOWNLOAD MASTER BRANCH. It looks like it downloads an old not functioning version (only efm) OKAY it works now. Problem is it enables the HMCS even in the starting menu (got to alt-enter to fix it) -

Cold Start Tutorial - No Engine Start SP/MP
secret1962 replied to SPEKTRE76's topic in Bugs and Problems
You're right... I am using a real UH-1H/V checklist found in Chuck's guides, so I never noticed that the manual is apparently confusing. -
Cold Start Tutorial - No Engine Start SP/MP
secret1962 replied to SPEKTRE76's topic in Bugs and Problems
I press the starter button (home) with throttle - off. At N1 10-15 %, when the rotors start spinning I move throttle to idle. At N1 40 % I release the starter button. At N1 68-72 % I bring throttle slowly to full. I don't know why it's not working for you ;) -
[ACADEMIA] Helicopter performance calculations tutorial?
secret1962 replied to WildBillKelsoe's topic in DCS: UH-1H
Look at Chuck's guide on the UH-1H you can find explanations, charts and tips (difference between real life charts and in game performance...) -
Don't quite understand what is going on here.. why is the tail vertical but the helo not ? Does it spawn like this ? Or is the helo broken in the photo ? Are you messing with the Flight Model ?

Another one about the trimmer and autopilot
secret1962 replied to tacky_taco's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
The AP should be used when you begin mastering the helo. If you want to fly without it then fine, but that skill should come in place only in emergencies. Having the need to fly around the target area very quickly to evade enemy fire is poor mission/environment planning. If it works for you good for you, but me coming as a AP-off pilot in the earlier days, I now use AP all the time. It'll also come in hand when you want to be very agile and not risk damaging the helo yourself. Anyway it's very clear that everyone should practice flying in every situation. Just my 2 cents. -
Another one about the trimmer and autopilot
secret1962 replied to tacky_taco's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
I too disliked the way the AP acted (before we could have the option to disable rudder trim) and was flying without any channel, not even FD. Now I use it everytime (pitch and bank when I want to do aerobatics, maybe I will enable heading aswell someday). When I am in hover I activate all 4 channels. I rather use terrain masking rather than continuously moving over the target area... after all we're not fixed wing. And you'll not like sams ;) P.S. I think I have also enabled the other option in MISC, since I don't have a FFB joystick, so the input gets taken when I recenter my joystick.. otherwise most of the times the helo would go nuts and break :) -
If it happens only in that mission I'd also start looking at what you're doing in the actual ingame cockpit...
-
Make sure to check the Hotas Sync at mission start in the options... the in game throttle was probably in idle position ?

Strange access to "Launcher.exe"...
secret1962 replied to Anatoli-Kagari9's topic in DCS World 1.x (read only)
Maybe viruses (did it happen with other applications ?) Or maybe... :detective: ED illuminati confirmed. :surprise: -
alt-tab, quite important feature of Windows
secret1962 replied to domini99's topic in DCS World 1.x (read only)
I know what the OP is talking about. Sometimes when you alt+tab you just cannot see anything else than the game or task manager. It requires me to minimize DCS via task manager if I want to access something else. Very annoying and introduced months and months ago... -
Sorry but that makes it harder not simpler. And the systems are modeled. So yea, it definitely wouldn't be a "simpler, more limited experience than FC3", but rather call it an old airplane that you just don't want to operate with :D Anyway as for FC3, the main problem is the airplanes lack the ASM component. The fact that the systems are simplified may relieve some workload on the pilots indeed, but the flight is the flight (atleast for PFM airplanes... SFM is very weird). That the missiles are not really realistic is known, especially in the guidance part :lol:

And Su-33 PFM. EDIT: also mig29 pfm planned

A WARNING ABOUT MS UPDATES FOR WINDOWS 10
secret1962 replied to Aviators's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
That just means 95-99 % of CPU is idle.. You need to look at CPU usage. -
Why don't you allow sound mods ? Why do we have to deal with unrealistic effects ?! You know allowing ONLY sound files doesn't solve the problem. One can simply modify the sound file if he wanted to cheat. Disabling the sdef only breaks the great calibration modders have done on their sounds.
-
You know I heard the same with EA for Frostbite (Battlefield 3 days). In their case it was just a mere excuse for making DLCs. I will tell you more. In the demonstrations they even explained how easy it was to make a night scene. So the thing was really obvious. I think anyone should be able to make maps. One can choose to use them or not after. Don't you understimate modders... or maybe it's the other case ?

You can clearly guess. Hiding all the section and then removing it completely. This section is wrong anyway.

[NO BUG AND WILL NOT CHANGE] MiG-29 HUD shows up on MFD
secret1962 replied to otester's topic in DCS: Flaming Cliffs
On the HUD: you have the TAS when there's a T symbol (ex. 550T, just try going into bvr mode) On the MFD on the low-right corner is always shown the TAS. -
Working as intended.

Nuclear weapons in DCS (what wouldn't you like to see?)
secret1962 replied to Avimimus's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
Old thread hehe... anyway nukes shouldn't be removed from the missions... it'd make a sense to intercept an aircraft. There could be a script which tells if an aircraft is inbound with a nuke, and you'd need to intercept it. -
Unless it's a device misconfiguration, I really wonder what's going on there. You even followed the training. Are you pulling too hard ? Is the throttle axis reaching to MIL(military power aka 100 % on the axis) ?

How to get "Cleared to land"
secret1962 replied to REDEYE_CVW-66's topic in DCS World 1.x (read only)
The ATC says that you're in view of the tower and then you can request landing. (The radio text should popup)
