Center trimming mode is for nonffb stick. Make sure nyou have the control helper option disabled

Thanks for the clarification about the test switch, Alpha. I'm still confused why the autopilot won't raise collective for me though. Here is a track showing what I'm talking about. Mi8 autopilot.trk

I'm new to this module and I've just figured out how to use the autopilot. I'm a little confused about how the altitude channel works though. If the collective is set a little higher than needed than I can see that the autopilot compensates by lowering the collective pitch. However, if the collective is set too low then the autopilot does nothing, is the autopilot unable to increase collective pitch? When I hold down the "increase altitude" switch the helicopter briefly climbs but then gradually settles back down to the original altitude. If I hold down the "decrease altitude" switch the helicopter will descend until the switch is released, then it gradually climbs back up to the original altitude. Is this right?

Seems like an awesome script. It'd be great to see a version that is a little more readable so that people can fix and adapt it. The fact that it has the entirety of Mist just pasted into makes it a little hard to navigate.

Thanks Vicx. I can't believe I missed that function, that makes things much simpler. I'm hoping to make a script that can track the status of MP clients (e.g. in cockpit, in slot but not yet loaded into cockpit, dead, etc.) does anyone have any advice on how a script can ascertain this information? P.S. Sorry to be coming to you guys with what I'm sure are trivial questions, I'm just trying to get started and the documentation is a little sparse.

try: return mist.DBs.aliveUnits. After doing this I've waited for 10 minutes and dcs never speeds back up. I'm very new to lua and how lua is setup in DCS so I'm not really sure what _G, JSON, etc. are.

Not sure if this is a bug, but if I try to access any of the realtime databases using witchcraft, DCS slow down to 1fps and witchcraft never gets a response.

The changelog for v3.0 references a mist.dbUpdate function but it no longer seems to be there. Is there any way that I can update a database without adding any units?

The main thing I want to find out is what functions are available to be used with these databases. for example in the code: what attributes might u have and what other information can I get about the unit using something like :getName()?

Thankyou so much! That makes scripting so much more manageable. Looks like it's been stagnant for 6 months. I hope people continue to work on it.

Is there somewhere I can find documentation on the mist.DB's?

I am also curious how to debug Scripps. Currently the only way I know is to load it into mission and start a DCS, but this is extremely time-consuming.

Is there a way that I can get a table of the groups that are present in a mission? I am particularly interested in a table of the Red fixed wing groups. Mist has a convenient "UnitNameTable" function, is there a way to do this for group names instead?

Make sure to hold down the lock button for a while. It doesn't always lock immediately

According to this: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/row/as-10.htm The kh-25ml was approved to be used on the ka-50. If it is really that useless on a ka-50 would they have even approved it's use?

Ever since 1.2.7 the kh-25ml has been completely useless (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=120080) with a range of <7km assuming that it doesn't just slam into the ground. If I understand correctly this is because the AFM is WIP. Since completing the AFM is probably not a priority right now could the AFM please be removed until it is ready? I can easily do this myself by deleting the kh-25ml's "ModelData" in missiles_data.lua but it would be really nice to be able to use this missile online.

for anyone interested here is a new version that should be working in 1.2.14. I added a few ground targets and enemy flights are called in using the f10 menu so you can keep new groups coming whenever you want SP_MiG_21_Kutaisi_Intercept_v9_cust.miz

Since updating to update 3 of 1.2.14 the su27 autopilot exhibits oscillations up to 600IAS. It used to only do this up to 450ish IAS.

I had the same thing today in an f-15, I was also able to get an aim-9 lock through the mountain from 20nm away.

In my experience with the 27, just never do any negative G, you will pass out almost immediately. It seems like g limiter should prevent this though.

Is the autopilot off when you are trying to turn?

thanks xcom I'll look into that

I'm interested in writing a script that would allow clients to vote for a new mission. I'm not very familiar with the DCS api. Does anyone know if this is possible? if so, can point you point me towards which functions, etc. I would want to use?

Does anyone know if it's bug or just the way the missiles really are?

From the DCS SU-27 manual: "When the landing gear is extended, the nozzles partially closed in order to preserve the power margin and to avoid nozzle contact with the runway during the touchdown. Due to this, the thrust is increased when on the glide path. In order to decelerate, the speedbrake should be used." Has anyone observed this behavior in DCS?
