has anyone gotten this mission to work since the 1.5 update? i played this a few years ago with a friend and we're trying to get the mission to work again, but the radio commands to pick up troops aren't showing up.

^^^ this is what i was talking about that they apparently changed what i'd prefer, is if more effort was put into the flight model of the aircraft and how it actually flies, the AI door gunners when the game is released, and the fact that DCS still does not utilize multi core CPUs well (from the information i've found) and doesnt like multi-GPUs (specifically crossfire). i'm not saying this is a semi-simulated helicopter. however, IMHO, those changes to the gun sight weren't necessary and should have been very low on the priority list, compared to the other things that have been messed up in update 1.2.6.

bugs i have found in update 1.2.6 1-the throttle animation no longer works when i press my throttle keys. the engine and rotor respond properly, but the throttle itself on the collective does not move. **it does move when i operate the throttle by clicking it with the mouse and moving the mouse. however, i'm not sure if that adjusts the engine still, or if its only the animation. i was busy finding other bugs (not by choice) 2-the aircraft will not start from parking cold. not sure why. 3-possibly connected to #2, the starter button used to press when i click the mouse, and release when i released the mouse button. NOW, the starter button presses in and stays when i press and release the mouse button, and i have to click the button again to get the starter button to come back up. 4-the pilot (right hand side) flex sight will not come down. i turn on the flex sight and the copilot flex sight comes down, the flex sight active text comes up on the right hand side of the screen, but the sight does not come down anymore. **apparently this is now done by several steps and clicking other buttons on the sight. my question is, why change it? i had a button assigned just to the flex sight on/off. push the button, sight comes down, ready to fire. 5-the sound of the miniguns firing is no longer there. the guns fire, but there is no sound at all from inside the cockpit. 6-it seems it takes a LOT of power to pick up off the ground. i was nearly maxing my joystick throttle (there's a full up detent kind of a bump i was pushing against. didnt go into the detent, just up against it)

ah! thanks! i see where he was talking about now.

why change it at all? it was nice the way it was, i even set it to a button on my joystick throttle. 1 button press and i was ready to aim.

then stop reading people's posts. problems have to be reported so they can get fixed. i cannot seem to find where you are talking about a place to report bugs after patches. if you'd post a link to it, i'd be much appreciated.

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1859422#post1859422 here's my thread i just made about these issues. didnt know someone had already started one. i didnt have any troubles with any key or joystick assignments changing and no axis tuning issues. now that you mention it, i did have to pull a lot more power just to get off the ground. it didnt feel right. i was almost maxing my throttle to pick up.

bought it bout a month and a half ago. update 1.2.6 breaks the huey beta though. here's hoping they fix it soon!

yea, i can see the throttle move when i operate it with the mouse as well, but i'm pretty sure mine didnt do anything to the engine when i did that. not sure though because i was too busy finding other things wrong with the huey. did your's actually change the engine at all? if you could link that post about the pilot sight, i'd like to see that. the radar altimeter works for me too, i just noticed it was there.

ok, i didnt know that, and no, i don't think i'm being over dramatic. if i can't get the aircraft to start, its kind of game breaking...even if its a beta. it doesnt make sense how you can add 1 thing to an aircraft and break so many basic things at the same time. i'm honestly a little PO'd but its only because this is the only game i've been playing from DCS currently and now, to me as a helicopter guy, its not worth playing until they fix these issues. if there is a bugs section for the huey beta or for the update, i'd be more than happy to report all this in there again.

HUEY PILOTS BE WARNED!! DO NOT UPDATE TO 1.2.6 i just got on to fly the Huey again after updating to 1.2.6 and i have found that they added a radar altimeter! now, as nice as this is, it was hard to notice and enjoy after finding first that they have broken the following: 1-the throttle animation no longer works when i press my throttle keys. the engine and rotor respond properly, but the throttle itself on the collective does not move. 2-the aircraft will not start from parking cold. not sure why. 3-possibly connected to #2, the starter button used to press when i click the mouse, and release when i released the mouse button. NOW, the starter button presses in and stays when i press and release the mouse button, and i have to click the button again to get the starter button to come back up. 4-the pilot (right hand side) flex sight will not come down. i turn on the flex sight and the copilot flex sight comes down, the flex sight active text comes up on the right hand side of the screen, but the sight does not come down anymore. 5-the sound of the miniguns firing is no longer there. the guns fire, but there is no sound at all. is anyone else having these problems? the beta was perfect, and now i can't even enjoy flying because so many basic things just dont work anymore. does anyone know how i can rever to 1.2.5? at least the Huey worked in that version.

multi-core cpu support and multi gpu (specifically crossfire) support. hardware is advancing so far ahead these days, for this game to only use 2 cores (from the research/info i've found) and not work well with crossfire, that really puts this game behind others, if you ask me.

oh! and also i would like a 101st paint job for the huey. i'm in the 101 and i think it'd be cool if i could fly around with old abe on the nose just like IRL

first, on the red controls indicator, the red pedal position marker at the bottom doesnt overlap the white marker when autopilot is engaged like the cyclic and collective do. i'd like to see that changed to where all red indicators overlap the white autopilot indicators. second, when flying in the left seat, co-pilot seat, when you activate the flex sight the autopilot automatically engages. i would like to see that change. if i want the autopilot, ill engage it. don't make it do it for me. third, flying in multi-player does not add flight hours to your logbook, at least for the huey it doesnt. i havent checked for the A-10 because i've been focusing on the Huey, but i probably have at least 12-15 hours in the huey right now from all the flying ive been doing. my logbook still only says just over 5 hours for the huey. i'd like to see that change too. just some thoughts for the wishlist, minor details to polish the game, IMHO.

that did the trick! thanks! i changed the Humvee i had in there to an M818 transport truck and i now have repairs and rearming.

well, i got the heliport set up and i can refuel, however i cannot re-arm or repair or have the ground crew turn on ground power. they always say "unable to comply." i'm attaching an image of the set-up.

ah! thank you! i figured out how to create a farp base...you have to insert a "heliport" and have those structures you listed next to the heliport. well, i use a heliport because we're playing the UH-1 module. thanks for the help!!

what vehicles do i need to add in order to repair my aircraft? and do they have to be on an airfield or do they only work on an airfield? my friend and i are playing a huey troop drop mission another user uploaded. i've created missions before and added an HEMTT TFFT and the Tanker M978 HEMTT and an APC M1025 HMMWV all close to each other, on an airfield, and had no problem gettin repairs for my huey. however, when i put these same vehicles out in the grass next to each other, they don't work. what are the stipulations for creating ground repair crews and getting vehicle repairs? i'm having trouble finding this stuff. thanks!

ah there they are!! thank you!

was definitely excited when i saw that too!! where are these "manuals" and training materials that are spoken of? can't seem to find them.

:D <3 thats great! i remember playing some kind of vietnam medevac game as a kid and that had AI door gunners that shot at ground troops and enemies. surely its not that hard to put in. i now can't wait for the final product! this is going to be awesome!

i don't have time to read through 20 pages of replies LoL, so what i gather from the first post, i take it there is no way to have the door gunners fire on their own currently (as if they are active AI)? if so, then i'd like to add a +1 to that item on the wishlist. also, if thats added, there should at least be some kind of basic commands for them as well, like weapons free, cease fire, etc.

we got it! figured it out. his wireless adapter was acting up. some part of it was turned off or something or other. here's what we did: we both connected to the internet. both turned on wifi as well. he set up an ad-hoc. i connected to his ad-hoc. he set up a lan game in DCS multiplayer. i searched in DCS multiplayer under LAN games and he showed up. i joined his game and there you go. thanks for the help! our main problem was his wireless adapter was screwed up in some way that his adapter was working, but he couldnt see any wireless networks. been playing for a couple of hours now. finally ended with him shooting me down after i was trying to land back at the airstrip with 1 operational engine left LoL if someone would mark this thread as solved if we can do that, thanks

we can connect to each others computers using an ethernet cable, but if we do, neither one of us can connect to the internet anymore. .....this may change soon. we are moving to a different fob soon and supposedly they only have wireless internet there. it may work if we can connect to wireless, and then LAN with the ethernet cable.

we are both using windows 7
