I hope that the sound will be as authentic as possible. I saw this bird's display probably like 7 times now, and you can't miss how much low-end rumble the afterburner has compared to your usual F-16 or something... really sounds like thunder. And these shots are amazing, I'm really digging the cockpit.

Huey file is called ab-212.edm

Damn we're getting off topic now, I'm calling moderators! :lol: Well I had plans for some F-15DJ skins...two years ago...but don't lose hope. It's not like you're not used to waiting on this forum, right? :D

Oh that's right, I was only looking at the model in the modelviewer, where it didn't show me the additional armour. Yes, it's actually shading underneath the plates, now I can see it too. So I guess OP really talked about the black paint then and there's no bug. :D I tried it ingame and with the plates removed, AO is adjusted properly.

Sith, you can't expect me not to get upset about this thing when you clearly haven't read a single word from that thread. "ED needs to make money...", "ED won't do QC...", "ED might help if we get in touch..." - this is all explained in there. And I don't think anybody wants a few "elite" mods to become paid... did we forget about the whole Valve paid mods fiasco? Also, the proposed solution was something that worked in other games for years without a single problem (which I mentioned there as well). And no, I'm not typing this because I'm salty that the thing didn't go through, I just feel like a fool when everything I type gets flushed into the toilet.

I wanted 6 months ago in that very thread and made a lot of points adressing various views either for, or against the topic. The thing that has upset me was the explanation felt kinda like stereotypical mom's saying "because I said so!". Discussion can be held until it can't is the exact thin line I was talking about. But that's irrelevant now. Anyway, if we can take one thing from this, it's probably that you should be more clear with your statements or in cases like these, ED themselves should get involved (it takes 1 minute to write a short statement). Nobody can automatically assume that at any point, you're echoing ED's opinions and not just your own.

Ad screenshots, fair enough, that's understandable. Anyway, I'll bite into this: Maybe it's a conflict of interest, considering it's my own thread (no better way to describe it), but what about this. It's the only example I can find quickly and that's not deleted. Interesting and rule-abiding discussion about something that was relevant and the time (still is though) and got a lot of people interested. Got them interested so much that they were discussing it in threads not suited for such discussion, which was the reason for starting it. Reason for closure: Moderator decided that ED is not going to do anything about it (the topic being discussed) even though the moderator is not ED itself, and the thread was discussing ED's policy. Maybe if the closing comment stated "I talked to ED and..." or was made by Wags himself... But even then, isn't that precisely what agrasyuk's comment is talking about? Note that I'm not discussing the topic in that thread, but simply the reason for closure. How can we ensure friendly forum open to critical discussion when threads will be cherry picked and locked, based on how uncomfortable the topic is? I saw the similar thing happening with ED's F-18 "delay" slip-up. Granted, there were some nasty posts here and there, but the whole thing really boiled down to "everyone shut up and wait for the news (whenever that is)". There's a thin line between enforcing healthy discussion and altering its course. Anyway, I'm hoping that the 2017, starting with this topic, will be the year of better communication and transparency from ED's side and that's including the moderation team. I can promise you that the people's concerns about "power-tripping mods", like you mentioned, are more than legit and it's not unheard of. Even simple power on an anonymous internet forum is enough for some. Luckily this is one of the better forums in that regard. And I can also promise you, that the people complaining are not always the ones who break the rules and just get salty about it, like some might think. Wall of text, sorry!

This is a great thread! I already have a question: Why does the screenshot thread, the most innocent of them all and going for 12 years without a problem, suddenly has "no discussion or comment" rule on it? Plenty of times people were sharing helpful tips for example...

Yes, it works now, even shows my deleted post. It wasn't like that before when I made it..

Martin, I don't recognize this bug and I can't find any report of it either. This is mainly a list of reported items that got lost in time and haven't been adressed yet, so if you think you found a bug, please start another thread with the bug report and perhaps even steps to reproduce it, if possible. Or link already existing report so I can add it to the list.

Does this apply only to posts deleted by mods or the ones deleted by users as well?

You can disable the sound or the lights altogether in options on the bottom.

Well that texture bug is present on every single livery, so it's not skin-specific and also not user-fixable. The darkened area is not on the texture, the problem is with the model. Assuming you're talking about this and not the black exhaust paint that's visible on the photo.

Sherlock Holmes right there. The author is upuaut and you can download it from his dropbox HERE (I would be so happy if people just uploaded their stuff into the user files section)

Someone did this already... I'll find it (maybe).

Added. And is that GMK one still in? ED commented in the thread about fixing it and I was trying to make a list of stuff that went unnoticed. Edit: I added it anyway, looks like the GMK correcting is still broken.

Thanks Tarres. Ad EGT: I'm able to get above 600°C by setting up the engine surge in failures, so I guess it's there after all? I was assuming that the EGT is supposed to go higher than that just by being on the highest power setting, given the 20min limitation.

I never saw the EGT rise above 590°C on takeoff power, not matter how long I milked it.

Alright, since there's still no bug section for this bird, and some bugs reported months ago are not fixed or even marked as [reported], I decided to make a list. There are 26 pages worth of posts, so I must have missed something for sure. In that case, just link the post below. Missing features: Engine EGT and overheat is not simulated Not a bug, but annoying: Western/eastern instrument switching needs to be moved to special tab...->Mod available<- FIXED Gunsight dismount option should be moved to mission editor Bugs: FIXED Cannot hide the stick in ZA FIXED RSBN panel light FIXED Landing/taxi light intensity is reversed Some elements in the rear cockpit are lit by the front cockpit switch NOT A BUG Anti-icing light is not showing up in manual mode NOT A BUG Throttle stop/toggle is not working if you start in the air FIXED Radio control switch works wrong Normal map bug on the ZA external model FIXED Specular in the ZA cockpit is broken FIXED Radio frequencies differ between the seats GMK correcting mechanism bugs FIXED Rear canopy doesn't seal when autostarting in MP (Also reported here) Wrong mach needle color Floating screws in cockpit Instrument errors Damage texture LOD bug on ZA Bort numbers are missing specular

Yes, these elements inherit the lighting from the front cockpit.

Optional removal, why not, but they're certainly not a special modification, it's a standard equipment.

Not a bug, you just have to flick the switch next to a throttle in the back seat. Only one works at the time, just like in real aircraft. :)

You're mistaken because you're confusing BIS and BISim, two different companies. One makes computer games, the other one military simulation software.

It's missing because it wasn't there until the 90s.
