  1. George is an excellent pilot: try hovering for 15 minutes as a pilot!! What I have noticed is that George executes gradual commands perfectly. Suddenly going from 500 ft to 10 ft (speed 40 knots) in a single command causes him to crash, while he performs the descent perfectly passing to 400, 300, 200, 100, 50, 10 (always at 40 knots). I believe that, currently, the most interesting position is that of CPG as it's not possible to perform a decent hovering as a pilot. The Apache is famous for its ability to find hiding places to pop out of to shoot and then hide again. Now such a tactic from the pilot's position is really difficult (certainly not impossible, but very difficult).
  2. Hello everyone! The AH-64D forum got super crowded! I join the crowd with two simple questions: 1) Is there a hovering command in the "pilot" station? Ok is a neophyte question but it seems strange to me that such a complex helicopter does not have a similar command; 2) in the "CPG" station how do you command George to land? I managed to get the helicopter to stop at 10 feet but there is no way to bring it down!!! Thanks to anyone who wants to answer me.
  3. From what I read on the forum, almost everyone is having problems with the stability of the aircraft. The use of the trim is actually not well illustrated and many are making corrections on the settings (deadzone or curve) of the stick or the rudders. I don't think this is the right way to do it, because everything should be solved with the correct use of the trim. In my opinion, developers should publish specific documentation on how to assign trim controls to the stick and how to actually operate with trim before takeoff and during flight From the video tutorials it is not clear how to do it.
  4. Bonjour et félicitations pour ce beau mod!!! J'ai une curiosité : pourquoi dans la dernière version 006 le Rafale n'a toujours pas les textures que j'ai vu dans tant d'images sur ces pages (surtout sur les images de "sushy73")? En fait, par exemple, les livrées Lafayette et Mt De Marsan sont vraiment pauvres et les surfaces n'ont aucun détail. Pourtant, le mod Rafale reste l'un des plus beaux de DCS, à tel point qu'on se demande : à quand un module officiel?
  5. Hello everyone. After the latest Beta update, the ALQ-184 system (short or long) no longer works in mode 1 and 2 (with the "semi" and "auto" programs). Mode 3 only works with the "auto" mode, but it's the most stupid, since it runs out of countermeasures in a few seconds (even if you only spend one decoy at a time ... somewhat useless). If no one has noticed this problem, then it just depends on me and maybe on the fact that I don't know how to use the system (although I believe I have used all the tutorials found on Youtube!).
  6. Sorry I'm late! Everything has been ok for a few weeks! Thanks for your interest!
  7. Hello 1MajorKoenig, it depends if you are using the stable version or the Beta. Cubanace in his penultimate post indicated a link for the version suitable for the Beta. I have to admit it's not quite a satisfying version (there are annoying bugs). But the plane is visible and the main systems work.
  8. Hello everyone. I also have the same problem for the F-16 (for now, I'll try other planes later). The communications menu no longer opens with the "\" key (nor with any other assigned key). Still, it's possible to communicate using key combinations. Frankly, I prefer the menu because I don't want to remember all the key combinations for the many commands available.
  9. Hello everyone and congratulations to Reflected for his wonderful works (I was really happy with his beautiful F-14As !!!). I have attached photos and a profile of a famous P-51D: Charles "Chuck" Weaver's pony. Among the many skins of the P-51 - strangely - I never found this one which, moreover, was made famous thanks to the illustration by Shigeo Koike on the box of the perfect Hasegawa 1/48 kit. The "Passion Wagon" was Weaver's mount prior to the one that is the subject of my post. If it were possible to make this skin I would be really really happy! Thanks anyway for the wonderful work!
  10. The video is very interesting! Among other things, it demonstrates what I wrote: the FW-190 reduced to a set of holes continues to fly and only after the P-51 has almost run out of ammo, he finally dies. I think the same wouldn't have happened if the victim had been the P-51!
  11. Silent Film ... you made me laugh a lot!!!!
  12. Thanks for the reply NineLine! As I wrote, I don't have good aim (maybe, with a lot of practice ...), so when I shoot I use all the weapons (20mm and .303) and I always wonder how resistant the german fighters are. This is why I felt like I was getting the ammo mix wrong. But now I think I will have more practice.
  13. The P-51 is awful. For the same fuel, it is almost similar to the FW-190A8. Although a 190A got me out of the way despite being severely damaged (black smoke). My P-51 (beautifully healthy) was unable to reach it and I gave up! Against the FW-190D, again for the same fuel, there is a good chance for the P-51 as the German fighter is an iron with wings. Against the BF-109 ... forget it.
  14. Hello!!! Which of the armament options is the most suitable for aerial duel? Sometimes I shoot almost all my bullets at an FW-190 and it still flies!!!! I think I'm wrong with the type of ammunition. In fact, although I do not have a good aim, a hundred bullets against a fighter plane should still prevent it at least from continuing to fly!!
  15. I'm sorry. I can describe to you what I did: I downloaded the mod from the download section of the Discord channel (there is also a new ".dll" file that modifies the behavior of the engine) and then I installed it in the Mods directory in " / Users/ ecc... ". I launch the "DCS World Openbeta" program and everything goes smoothly! Maybe you don't have FC3 installed?
  16. If you downloaded the mod from the group on Discord, it should be installed under the following path: C / USERS / nameuser / Saved Games / DCSOpenbeta / Mods
  17. Beautiful mod !! I am Italian and it is exciting to fly the F-104S which has been our air defense fighter for a long time. We called it the "Spillone" (big brooch).
  18. Thanks for the support. Actually my "a little bit fast" must have been "really too fast" . I'll have to get used to the Su-25 again!!
  19. DCS version 2.7.6.13133 Open Beta (09.22.2021). Today, after a long time, I tried a little fly with old Grach. I was landing a little too fast and I decided to activate the parachute ("P"), but ... surprise! The parachute compartment opens and nothing comes out!!! There are two possibilities: the problem is mine (but I ran the repair program and the problem remained) or, in one of the many updates, the parachute was removed from the Su-25 model. But is this removal faithful to the simulated model?
  20. The Su-57 is fully functional in the stable version (also updated to date). Unfortunately it no longer works in the Beta.
  21. Hello everyone! Unfortunately, the Su-57 mod does not work with DCS 2.7.6.12852 Open Beta version. I hope it's possible to reactivate its functionality soon. It's one of the coolest mods for DCS!!!
  22. Absolutely true. In reality, I think it has rarely been used by US forces. Instead, it seems to have been used very freely by Saudi Arabia in the war in Yemen. In fact, as you have noticed, it is a weapon that should be used very carefully considering the side effects. But I think the Arabs don't have much scruples. In a video game you can enjoy the effect on enemies without regret.
