The reticle's lowest setting is very bright, and useless in low-light conditions. Compare to the Mi-8 Side by side Compare to Petrovich's reticle - both at lowest brightness... Also, the brightness knob does nothing for 90% of it's turn. Only the last 10% is useable. Reticle range.mp4 Feels like this...

Separate Pedal Trim & Pedal Trim Reset commands - to allow us to set and reset the anti-torque without simultaneously un-trimming the cyclic. Also, Gradual Trim Release - a special option that resets the trim gently which isn't as lethal as the sudden zeroing. I think this feature is part of the Gazelle's special options(?)

It only launches four at a time, so I wonder if it's just the interval time between flares that's wonky. Mi-24 Flare Spam.trk

Bump. Is it 'later' yet?

The Chinook has the latest SquishTech™ tires Will these trickle down to other helicopters/planes? The Hind is especially notable for its plush rubber

The Ka-50 III has the rain effect - the Ka-50 II does not.

The slider is at 100% Quick video - aggressive manoeuvres & TFE. Compare to this clip from a Casmo only a year ago. New Apache Flight Model is negating some previous advice DCS World Apache_edit.mp4 Please bring back the vibes (especially the shroud) as an option. The code is already in there - just let us turn it on!

Using 'long left' I can switch between a green and red countermeasures AI menu. I can't find anything about the red version? What's it for?

Not sure if a bug, per se, but when Ka-50 and Ka-50 III spawn at 6:30AM, June 21 (i.e. default mission Caucuses) the HUD is in night mode and the TV and ABRIS have their brightness turned way down despite it being light outside. Ka-50 Ka-50 III

Honestly whoever killed this effect shame on you. It looked great; very immersive. And I've tried every manoeuvre to induce the visor to vibrate and get nothing. At least have it as an option? Compare BRING BACK THE VIBES

A small but annoying thing - every time I want to load a mission after firing up DCS I have to swat away this warning... ...despite not having touched or changed a thing. Maybe I'm missing the reason for this?

I deleted the bug thread - hopefully it didn't cause any alarm. I've started trimming by holding-moving-releasing and it's strange (e.g I normally fly Ka-50 with Flight Director on) but it does work well.

Speaking of trim release.... Here I am cruising and trimmed for level flight. The AP doesn't appear overly taxed. Question: What happens when I hit 'Trim Reset'?

Even this doesn't cover it. Watch this video - After the first pitch down and trim I release the joystick; there is no further deflection; it remains centred. All I do is repeatedly press trim and the nose ratchets its way down. I then level off, trim, release joystick, and keep pressing trim button to 'walk' the nose up the ladder.

Thanks @admiki and @AeriaGloria for your patience! Still.... I remain skeptical that the real life Mi-24 behaves like ours. It seems insane that any trim system that throws the aircraft further into a turn, or a climb, or a dive would make it past the drawing board.

@admiki There's no misconception - that's exactly how 'Central' mode is supposed to work; and exactly how it works with the Mi-8. That's the whole point of Central mode - to allow player to return stick to neutral; to prevent un-commanded/extra input that we see in Mi-24 and Ka-50. So while I trust the Mi-24 autopilot is correctly modelled, the Central trim mode in the Mi-24 and Ka-50 is apparently broken. The Mi-8's Central mode works fine. I've thrown up a post in the Bugs section - hopefully they'll take a look at it.

Yes. In the video I zoom out a bit to keep the cyclic in view to show there was no further directional input from me after the initial pitch down.

After the initial pitch down and trim I release all pressure from the stick. After that my only input is pressing the trim button repeatedly which causes the nose to 'ratchet' downwards/upwards.

Happens to me yesterday. It feels like blinking your eye. Only in the Hind so far. Radeon RX 6700XT I tried recording to catch it but the recording shows nothing.

So the thread just took a dramatic twist (!) Anyway I made this video last night but didn't bother posting since I thought it was obsolete but after @shwed posted it might be relevant. In this video I trim Mi-24 nose level. I then nose down a couple of degrees hit trim and release pressure on stick. I then keep pressing only the trim button and the nose pitches down further and further with each click. I do the same after pulling up and trimming for level. I release the stick and press only trim button. The nose rises with each successive click. If this is normal behaviour as @AeriaGloria has indicated then I've no problem. I'll just fly it differently.

Still goosed - still need to do the affinity hack every flight. Can any dev weigh in on this?
