v2tec

I can confirm this. BTW: A list of changes for the KA-50 since the last patch, would be great - there's definitely more than in the patch description.

Well, I didn't see in the feature list for the latest dcs patch, but there are definitely some changes. What I have recognized so far: - Shkval screen color is more green (ok) - trigger delay when firing ATGMs (ok) - new sound on ATGMs - new outdoor heli sound (sounds very powerful - not sure, if this is more realistic) - HDG HOLD - is not accurate as before. Heli breaks left or right but doesn't hold the correct heading (not ok) - HOVER HOLD - looks like is not very stable - heli jiggles. Well we're getting closer to the apache... if this is more realistic for the ka-50,mmh ok I will observe the "not ok" points. Maybe it has something to do with outdated servers or cache... (perhaps not). If it remains, it would be an disappointment for me and I hope this it not the way BS3 is going...

screenshots?

After patching to the latest version, I have several servers in my server list with exclamation marks. What does it mean? Server not outdated?

Ich habe in DCS keine Probleme mit meiner G2 und SteamVR unter Windows 11. Aktuelle SteamVR Version? (1.24.6) SteamVR nutzt bei mir die aktuelle OpenXR Laufzeitumgebung von Windows Mixed Reality Die Videoeinstellung liebt bei 3032 x 2968 (92 %) PS: Früher hatte ich auch noch Probleme mit meiner alten Oculus Rift. Hier liefen immer zwei Oculus Services im Hintergrund. Diese wurden inzwischen gekillt bzw. aus dem Autostart entfernt.

Ich setze keine MODs ein und kann somit über ein mögliches MOD für das Problem / Thema nichts sagen. Das Problem mit der Lesbarkeit von Schaltern in VR ist mir aber bekannt und ich habe für mich eine Lösung über die Einstellungen gefunden: MSAA 2x SSAA, SSLR, SSAO auf AUS Ani. Filterung auf 16x VR Pixeldichte auf 1.3 (Vorsicht, hohe Werte können sich schon erheblich auf die Performance auswirken) Steam VR Video bei 92% (3032 x 2968) mit erweiterten Supersampling Zugegebenermaßen kenne ich mittlerweile aber auch die allermeisten Schalter, so dass ich die Texte gar nicht mehr lese...

Hi, ich persönlich würde dir empfehlen nicht mit dem Apache zu beginnen. Fliege selbst seit über 10 Jahren in DCS und habe einige Module, darunter auch die Helis KA50 und die Huey. So sehr ich mich auch, wie viele andere auch, mit den Erfahrungen aus Longbow / Longbow 2 mal wieder auf einen Apache gefreut habe, aber der Apache ist für mich noch in einem frühen Beta Status. Das Trimmen finde ich trotz einiger investierter Stunden und zig Videos immer noch extrem schwierig und unkoordinierbar. Seit Wochen keine Updates / Weiterentwicklung mehr. Gerade beim Apache Modul habe ich massive fps Einbrüche, wie bei keinem anderen Modul - und das bei einem doch sehr leistungsfähigen Rechner und GraKa. Ich selbst habe mit der A10C begonnen und kann auch die F18 und F16 empfehlen - das sind mittlerweile sehr Reife Module (viele Features und stabil). Wenn es ein Heli sein muss, dann kann ich die KA50 empfehlen. Die Trimmung und Steuerung ist (mittlerweile für mich) ein Kinderspiel. Die Bewaffnung ist relativ moden und der Heli hat genug Feuerpower um mal einen gegnerischen Flughafen im Alleingang zu erobern Was die HW-Ausstattung angeht würde ich mich dem vorherigen Beitrag anschließen. Wenn man Spaß an Flusi's hat, dann sollte man auch etwas investieren. Hab meinen TM Warthog auch schon über 10 Jahre und funktioniert noch tip top. Mittlerweile sind auch teure Pedalen hinzugekommen. TrackIR war sehr cool. Seit einigen Jahren flieg ich aber ausschließlich in VR, auch wenn die Bildqualität und FOV geringer ist als auf meinem ultrawide-Screen - die Immersion ist aber geil.

Ok, I have found a fix. These are my axis-settings for the left and right pedal. With these I have the full bandwith for the brakes. Well, screenshots are in german, but I guess you can see the settings by the position on the screen. Setting it to slider was not enough. (Final) UPDATE: I figured out, that these settings are handled different between the aircrafts. Some aircrafts require the slider invert and some not. Also, a curvature rate between -50 and -60 fits best - for me. null null

No, the slider idea will and does not fix the problem. It worked with the settings before and I didn't change anything on my configuration. So something has changed in this or the update before. When I look to the slider or axis configuration, pressing the pedals starts from the center and goes to the border, not from border to border. null As I said, the windows input controller configuration shows no mismatch and so the TPR Calibration Tool. Here's a screenshot. I pressed the right pedal and it goes down to zero. The left pedal isn't pressed so it shows the full bar and values. null

Here's a screenshot, showing the missing texture / geometry, when looking outside from the left. Same missing textures are on the right side. nullnull

Something I recognized after the last update - checked with KA50, AH-64D, F16, F18, A10C, A10CII I use my pedals for left and right wheelbrakes. My pedals are well centered / calibrated with the windows controller settings. When I enter the controls config in DCS I also can see that the pedals are centered. Inside the aircraft I activate the steering axis view and I can see that the wheel brakes are not on the zero level when untouched. I can press the key for the wheel brakes and then it goes zero level. But when I touch the pedals and let it go it doesn't return to the zero level. Increasing the zero zone for those pedal axis doesn't fix it. I am using the TM TPR Pedals - no problems until now. Screenshot from the A10CII

Whatever plane or skin you have choosen. Print the playername (Pilotname) above the skin on the side of the aircraft (below the cockpitglass) like it is tradition in the US Navy. That would be cool for making videos or if you follow another aircraft in the game and you see who is flying. Shouldn't be much effort to implement this.

I can't see any progress in the recent patches or any annoucements for the AH-64D roadmap. Is the development still ongoing? What I can see is the annoucement of the Hercules C-130, the F-100D - who cares! I really appreciate it, if dcs could focus the development on beta packages. I miss many features of the AH-64D. Still many bugs exists. For me, it's not fun, flying the AH-64D in multiplayer...

When I move closer to the gunners mirror, the mirror image moves away. Only checked with VR. Using latest version.

My best experiences: - Keep PITCH and BANK Hold on Use HEADING-Hold for WP flying or if you want to fly a straight course. I am also using the ALTITUDE-Hold for this. The Flight Director is perfect for fast changes in direction and height - anytime. E.g. when I am in hover mode, engaging a target and the enemy fires a missile at me, I use the Flight Director to dive/hide... Btw. now that I know the AH-64D I really love the trim and autopilots of the KA-50 - it's totally easy

I'd love to have these additional key-bindings for: - laser on - laser off - gear up - gear down - helmed visor on - helmed visor off - axis commands for all brightness settings (ABRIS, Cockpit, IT-32, HUD, etc.) I don't want to modify any files to get these key-bindings. I think it easier to offer it on the configuration side, so everybody can use it easily. THX

yeah, I figured that out too. Three missiles launched successful, the last one killed me - all the same settings. I flew the same bearing, so a collision is not the reason...

Yeah, my fault. I meant practice mission not training mission. But anyway, if it takes only 3 minutes to create one - why is there no practice mission in the update. If 100 people create a mission, we have a waste of 300 minutes of life time... ;

I would like to try the new Aircraft Carrier Landing System, but unfortunately, it seems that the existing carrier missions doesn´t support ACLS, or went something wrong with the update process? And no, I don't want to create my own missions with the mission editor. I managed to use dcs without it and don't have time to step in...

I found it not easy to fly this helicopter. After a little practice it is ok, but not comparable with the KA-50 with all it's autopilot and trim modes. Even evading incoming missiles is not as easy as in the KA-50. Is it the beta status of AH-64D...??? Do we have any real AH-64D Pilots here, who can confirm that the flight behaviour is quite realistic or nonsense?

Agree, that works for me too. It is quite easy.

I hoped it was fixed in the current (today) update. Unfortunately, it isn't. I will try the workaround, launch above 20k feet, instead.

On most servers, there are only a few slots with the possibility to choose between pilot and cpg - why? Now that the AH-64D is out, I guess a lot of us would like to try / learn / improve each role.

Now that it is released, what are the next upcoming features and when? Is there a roadmap for the features of the AH-64D available, anywhere?

good idea - didn't found a useful function for this button so far...
