Do we need to manually set all of the control profiles again or is it ok to copy the input config files from 1.2.7?

For a second I thought that might be it. I have a gamepad which was automatically assigned to control roll with one of the sticks. I just tested out what happens if that gamepad stick is held to the left while flying and as soon as you provide any input from the joystick the gamepad is ignored and the helicopter operates normally.

I'm using a thrust Master t. Flight X. It doesn't have any of its own software and I checked the windows joystick properties while this was happening and it was working fine. I also disconnected and reconnected the joystick but the problem persisted.

Like I said, jumping into a new helicopter in the same multiplayer session fixed the problem so no need to restart the Sim. I think that it may have actually been a part of the simulation. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced it and knows how to fix it so I'll know what to do if it happens again

Today i was flying online when something that has never happened to me before happened. suddenly the helicopter started banking hard to the left. i looked down and the virtual stick was all the way to the left. I pushed my stick all the way to the right and the virtual stick went to the center. Trimming and trim reset would briefly reset the virtual stick back to the real sticks position but would then immediately drift left. I had been flying in the same chopper for about an hour but hadn't taken any hits or (as far as i know) even been shot at. there weren't any peculiar warning light lit up and all of the hydraulic, oil, etc gauges were normal. I managed to land and do a full restart but the problem persisted. I was going to go get repaired and see if that fixed it but unfortunately i crashed at the farp. I checked joy.cpl while this was going on and everything was normal, also once i started in a new chopper the problem was gone, this leads me to believe that it was part of the simulation and not a bug or other technical issue. has anyone else ever experienced this?

It's a recent bug. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=120080&highlight=Kh-25

What does this do?

I've noticed that when you're tracking a moving target and then lose tracking the Shkval will continue moving at the same speed and direction as the target was. This is convenient if the target is still moving in the same speed and direction but if the target has changed direction it can make it very difficult to reacquire the target. I would think that lasing the ground would cause the shkval to ground stabilize but this isn't the case. is there anyway other way to stabilize onto the ground without having to reset the targeting system?

In playing on multiplayer server lately I have found myself in a handful of A/A engagements with Hueys and KA-50's. If i'm far away i set the shkval to a/a mode and set the tracking gates to the size of the target and attempt to track it. But it is often very hard to get the shkval to track and even then if the target is moving very quickly the vikhrs almost always miss. In a close in engagement I usually just boresight the cannon and try to swing into position. I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice or tricks for how to quickly acquire and engage an enemy helicopter. I also wondering if it is right to boresight the cannon for a closeup engagement or if it would be better to use the HMS and hold down the target designate button so that the cannon tracks where I'm looking. Thanks.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe the targeting system isnt on. It's the switch on the left below those buttons.

Many times when i come out of autopilot using alt+9 my roll and/or pitch trim will suddenly be set differently that before I went into autopilot. This causes me to suddenly start rolling to one side. I have notices this on all fc3 aircraft as well as the su25t. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know how to avoid it?

It's a shame that the 25ml isn't working anymore. Isn't there a way that a file could be modified so that the current flight model could be replaced with an older one?

Thanks. This seems like something that should be written on the inside of the cockpit like the tower frequencies are.

On the back panel there is a knob with eleven positions labeled 0-10. According to the manual this knob tells the weapons system which weapon you are using in order to get an accurate impact point calculation. The corresponding weapons for the first 6 settings are in the manual but settings 6-10 aren't described at all. I was wondering if anyone knows what they are used for. I assume that some of them are for bombs.

As I understand it in order to get a good ccip solution in windy conditions you need to enter the three wind layers into the cdu. This is easy enough with standard weather because the briefing gives you all the info for the wind. But how do you know what to put into the cdu on dynamic weather?

I'm in. Cold or hot.

I haven't tried infinite ammo but I have experienced the same thing. I just finished a mission in oil war where I hit an M1A2 with one vikhr and all of my AP and HE rounds from a little over 1 km away and it was still fine.

The SP link seems to be broken

Is the Shore campaign still compatible with the current version of DCS. I've tried the first mission several times and not had any luck. The SEAD flight, which is only carrying one maverick and one harm. ends up attacking a couple of zsu-23's that aren't even near the rescue site, then it does nothing and orbits near the rescue site for the remainder of the mission. The f-15 CAP flight shoots down one or two mig-29's before I get there, but once i arrive at the rescue site they leave to refuel ( even though they started with a full tank and 3 external tanks). This leaves my flight alone with 2 or 3 mig's swooping down on us. That can't be right, can it?

I've been having the same problem since 1.2.7

I've had a problem similar to this with both 1.2.6 and 1.2.7. I can connect but after 2-4 minutes I get disconnected with a "connection interrupted" message.

Is there anything that you can do about the crosswind interference. I guess you could just move to a point where you will be firing either up or down wind, is there anything else?

I'm sorry if this has already been answered earlier in the thread but what is the difference between this mod and the "Low and Slow" texture mod by the same author? Are they compatible with eachother?

Dcs Hawk!

Awesome, Thanks.
