Livery Link - Install & Share Custom Liveries
Zentaos replied to Camble's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
They are definitely installed in the 'Saved Games' folder, but I have my saved games folder set as the root directory of a dedicated secondary SSD. It's working now for all the aircraft & liveries I have installed. Thanks for your help! It's was just odd that it found the UH-60 in the same location, but not the OH6 with 0.27.8 -

I do have the OH6 installed...not sure why it wasn't in the list. I don't see the Mosquito, Apache or Chinook either, if it should list all of the modules I have installed. The UH-60 and Bell 47 mods aren't on the list either. Anyway, it's working now for the Cayuse since the update. Thanks for your work on this app! -

I only tried with the OH6A and couldn't get it to work, so I just guessed other mods didn't work. The UH-60 skins installed no issue. -

Great work on this app!! Have you made any progress on the 'import existing' feature? It would also be super useful to include mods like the OH6A, UH60L, A-4E, etc. -
Real Helicopter pilots: Do you use your "rear" to operate the collective?
Zentaos replied to -0303-'s topic in DCS: UH-1H
I agree that the inertia does give you some additional feedback to what the aircraft is doing but it is primarily the sight picture that tells you the most about what is going on. Keep looking out. Don't keep your focus on what's close to the aircraft. Glance at your target, then keep looking out.- 2 replies

were the fictional IJN skins for the Fw 190 A8 there before the update?

Helicopter controls - force feedback question (Huey)
Zentaos replied to CommandT's topic in DCS: UH-1H
13 inches would be the total travel of the axis (-6.5 each direction from center). Like Vladinsky stated, with Force Trim turned off, or the button depressed, there isn't any spring force returning it to center, but there is still mechanical friction from all of the linkages. If you fly without spring, you should still have a good amount of damping. The cyclic doesn't flop about, it stays where you let go of it...ish. -
Helicopter controls - force feedback question (Huey)
Zentaos replied to CommandT's topic in DCS: UH-1H
The “center” you are referring to is more about CoG not deflection force. There is not any more force at any given amount of deflection, but you will feel where the control “center” is by where the CoG of the aircraft is depending on weight and balance as you pick up into a hover. Try to visualize a spinning top on a plate and you are tilting the plate to keep the top in center. There isn’t really a great way to deal with this in simming other than a motion platform. This is why smooth pickups and set downs are one of the most challenging aspects of flying helis in sims. The best way to handle this is to really know your helicopter and its sight picture well. There are, however, aerodynamic forces that require more deflection force. Like during cruise, you have to hold the cyclic forward and there is force pushing it back because the rotor wants to slow down naturally, not speed up. This is the primary function for trim in helicopters. To reduce the fatigue of cruise forces trying to push the disk back to a state of equilibrium. -
I can't wait to rock the Huey over every inch of this map! ...and of course the Chinook and Loach too!!!

gahhh!!...getting lost in the updates juggling all my sims... now I need to get this set up and working again after updates to DCS and the MOZA Cockpit software for my cyclic profile.

DCS World 2024 Screenshots and Video Thread
Zentaos replied to MiGCap1's topic in Screenshots and Videos
I put this in the wrong thread... Anyway... I can't say enough good things about the OH6A Mod. -
It is automatic if you have the DAFCS on, it should be set to both by default. However, you can manually change the LCT positions, but they should be set to auto for 99.99% of flight operations. The biggest difference you will notice, is that when pitching forward to increase airspeed, the fuselage will level and not want to tuck the nose towards the ground like it did before the LCT was in the FM.

It would probably be more descriptive if those levers were labeled Ground Idle, but this is what they are labeled in the real thing I would want to hear what @Brickle or @HMSSURP would have to say, but I would think that if you were to introduce pitch for any reason, even ground taxi, you would want the rotors at flight rpm, not idle.
