Kaned Dragon

No i checked and it's not showing up on the options screen. I'm seeing if there's any software for it, might need to change a setting so it will show up. It's connect via usb so i'm hoping it can be used as another controller

I have an Alesis V61 midi keyboard, used for music. it's has some buttons and knobs which i would like to assign in game. (Example would be use the knobs to control the cockpit lights, or analogue rudder or pitch.) Is there any way of doing this?

Hi there When i start the mission i'm equip with Vikhr missles, once spent i land and get a rearm going. I change to KH-25ML (AS-10 Karen). But none of the missles track. I also find the rockets no longer hit the mark and fall short. The cannon still hits okay. I'm starting the mission from the runway all set up in a CAS role. standard vikhr missles, B-8 rickets, a2a set up. My first targets are on land, once i rearm I'm targeting some boats. I've done just rearming, and I've tried shutting down to do a repair and rearm. I'm turning the laser off between enermy groups, so I don't damage it. I haven't played in years and am getting back into DCS, so am relearning as i go. Pretty sure I missed something but can't think what it is. Thanks

Sweet, thanks for the helps dudes. I got a chance to test it tonight. One engine got hit, fire warning happened. Did what you dudes suggested. Fuel off, pressed the extinguish button. This time the fire went out. Was able to get back to the Farp on one engine. Again thanks for the help.

Thanks for starting the thread Alienzo. I was a little disappointed that the wipers didn't wipe the rain away. It's kinda spoiling the immersion.

It's because the manual has bit's which are in Russian and then English, it's making it hard for me to fully understand what their telling me to do. You crunched it out in a few bullet points and essentials. I'm using the English cockpit, so that's causing me a little confusion too. I got some other questions regarding the fire system. 1. If the fire system uses the main bottle of extinguisher, and I need to use the secondary. I take it, I can't extinguish any more fires, as I've used all water in the bottles? 2. twice now, one of my engines got hit and the fire system did not extinguish the fire. Eventually the helicopter blow up. If this happens, where the 2 bottles get used and the fire continues. Should I just get the chopper on the deck and evac? Again thanks for sharing your knowledge dude :)

Such a tease haha. Well maybe in the future.

Sorry, are you dudes saying, there are 2 more hard points, which technically, are capable of mounting weapons on them? The document is a little misleading. On the chat it shows the hard point but at the bottom is says Outrigger pylons (stations 1A and 7A) are not authorized for carriage. Reads like a massive tease!

Thanks Alpha! You're tutorial is easier to understand then the manual. Thanks for sharing.

I've started doing rolling landings when the MI-8 is fully loaded. It's very good at taxiing on Grass. When I'm getting shot at and I can't really take too much time landing, that's when the rolling landings have worked well. But yeah can't count how many times I've crashed because I didn't pay attention to the drop rate. When it happens I jolt it left or forward to try and get out. When the bird is heavy it's not forgiving with regards to VRS. I gotta say it really can dance when it isn't too heavy. So maybe try practicing with it as light as possible.

Enjoy dude, and a massive thanks to LazyBoots for knowing the answer :) I personally pasted the codes into the hydraulics and mechanical part of the keyboard and joystick ini files,,,seemed like a hydraulic option. I assigned the command to (Shift + Insert) to turn it on, and (Shift + delete) for off. And yup it's working on my hotas so fingers crossed everyone else can do the same. Be real nice if Razbam can get it into the options lists on the next update or something.

Hope this helps, works like a charm. I binded it to Shift insert and delete.

+1 It's a well known conflict, and there have been films about it. From what I have learnt so far about the Korean war, it might be a better than Vietnam, as the Koreans had both Chinese and Russia pilots fighting Americans in very similar matched planes. MIG15 and the Saber, which we got. I really want to create a medical base like in MASH and do flights in the MI-8. Picking up wounded troops. Get suicide is painless playing.

Same here, I'm hoping this feature get's added as soon as it's ready. I think they have done a little work to it. I'm not seeing as many memory error messages pop up in the top right when I've got 3 x 82 on the inner pylons. Seems like it's remembering my armament set ups meow.

I just tried to drop a load of 82's and Mk20 and they are still coming off the rails as a whole group. Wasn't able to get them to drop in a sequence :-/ Although, I don't think I saw the error message appear in the top right anymore. Memory error message that is.
