The Nam map and a sixties Huey is all we need...! Let's get to it...

OK, thanks for the prompt reply... I might delete the OB on the C:\ drive then and use the Stable that is resident on the D:\ drive; possibly this will help the OS on the C:\ drive to operate while running DCS at the same time? IJammer

I have been running both the Open Beta and the Stable version on two seperate SSD drives on a dedicated DCS PC... (the theory being if one crashes at least there is a chance the other will still work ) Do I need to delete one of them or will I cause a contension by leaving them both on the same PC? IJammer...

Unfortunately I have not been able to get on DCS for some months... so, having some spare time; I updated Win 10, broweser and DCS beta. I have what is now a mediaocre PC... water cooled i7 @ 4.2, multi treaded wotsits, 16gb memo, 6Gb GFX, 2x SSD. 27" monitor and TrackR Pro ect. Anyhow, my complaint is that after doing all the updates... I set forth on a harbour tour in the UH-1 that I had not flown for several months to get back in the saddle so to speak... I kept a healthy distance from the lead ship with no overlapping blades ect., as I sometimes dared! I used to get 40 -50fps before the updates... now I am getting a pretty well nailed 80fps!!! How long has this been going on? Who springled fairy dust all over my PC and DCS? One happy camper who will try harder to get back more often and might even spend some money on some new maps (Vietnam please) Dave -IJammer /B229 (what was virtual 1st Cav Div)

After the last update... and after landing the Huey I like to shut it down and stop the rotors... the last time I tried this, zero'ed the throttle, cut the fuel and raised the pitch after a while to stall the rotors... nothing! the rotors continued to idle even after the fuel was cut (has it found a new reserve tank lel ?) It seems that the UH-1 Huey has been screwed with and is now effectively a none working model... I get the impression that their are so many moduels now that things are running away from the 'fix a bug' crew! Hopefully we can get the Huey sorted...

Yeah, its my fav module... but several years old now; can we expect on going support as ED struggle with newer modules! It's a two edged sword for ED... they need to constantly issue new new content to realise revenue and spread them selves ever thinner!

Yup, same here... its been like that for years; you have to lick-start the throttle binding by nudging the Page up/Page Dn buttons! ED have so many modules it seems that bugs on the older modules are not being sorted in many instances! The Huey IMO is still the best module though...

Yeah, this is a sim... after several failures and running out of time, I managed to crack it. You gotta do it right though. The main thing is navigation; you don't have much time to faff around before the clock beats you! Great mission ^ Hopefully, one day they will redo the graphics and sort the bugs...

Yup, thanks for that... just about to get the Channel map. I also just purchased another SSD I now have two 500Gb ssd (C & E) so I have the beta on C/ and the stable on E/ as I ran out of room on C/ Must say it was easy to manually move the stable over to the new E/ drive, and then make a desktop icon pointing to the new location on E/ Windows10 quite clever like that I now have 250 Gb spare space on each drive... so Channel map is now a go I must be mad... having a high stepping PC just to run DCS and fly the Huey; the sim is worth it though!

Yeah, I find this awkward too... I set the throttle to max, collective about fifty percent; hit 'fly' I also find the throttle is not synced initially on my TM. HOTAS (left throttle) and have to waggle the 'page up/page down' keys to get the HOTAS to sync... if I'm quick enough, I can save the ship, I then set auto-pilot so I can set the armaments, set the armaments to live and select the rockets rate... and then go create mayhem lel. Probably an easier way... but my names not Bob Mason! IJammer (/229)

Trim the ship and then apply the auto pilot, if you have no beacons for the ADF go to the map, locate where your are and where you are going and set a compass heading then follow it. No SAT NAV here lel (and better for it; analogue rules!) IJammer

Wow, stealth trains... do the USAF know about this?

I had something similar with another PC games some years ago... check if it associated with the browser cache (clear it) and or try a different browser.! MS is doing all sorts of stuff to intergrate 'synced' devices and being very pushy in promoting its own Edge browser and other stuff! I use Win10 and Firefox 64 myself and resisted the M$ sync crap! DCS bugs seem to be compounding by the day... I can but help think that there is possibly too much content and that ED needs to take stock, stop developing new stuff until some of the bugs on the old stuff is ironed out! Perhaps that clears the cache on exit? ^

I have used TS3 and SR in DCS when I was active with a squadron group with the Huey... neither of them seemed to work very well as it was difficult to keep everyone on the same page as regards updates; we spent more time sorting the radio comms out than we did flying! So I was pleased to hear that DCS was integrating there own long over due in-house chat system to work with the aircraft radios; but even just a simple open chat facility would be nice for starters. I understand from reading various threads that there are ongoing problems implementing Voice Chat! It is a shame that this was never incorporated from the outset with DCS. As a long term user of the car racing sim iRacing... I can confirm that they had this incorporated from square one and it works quite successfully. On several occasions I wanted to try VC on the DCS multiplayer, however it is difficult from the server list to determine which servers are using VC ? I am sure some of the servers could attract more flyers if it was possible to show a VC marker on the servers that have it implemented! Perhaps a small roundel with 'VC' on each server would encourage usage and help purge any ongoing problems? Perhaps there is a marker... and I can't see it? IJammer

Same here...
