For those interested. Here is my list for recommended AH64 reading. 2 books from Ed Macy. A pilot in the British army flying the Longbow. First books name is Apache. The sequel is Hellfire. Another good book which is all written in the same conflict is Dressed to Kill by Charlotte Madison. Which I believe is the first time during the Afghanistan conflict that a helicopter went Winchester (Out of all ammunition). This follows a female British AH64 pilot. These are all true stories with very interesting insights into flying the Apache within the Afghanistan conflict, providing danger close cover for troops on the ground!

I did install the black mig 28 livery. I thought I redownloaded all of my modules. I figured all old liveries would be wiped. Could that have caused it? If so what is the best way to make a modules files go back to default?

Ever since the amazing 2.7 release. I have sadly had mixed results. I can fly instant and training missions. However if I try to load into the Mission editor, It crashes 99% of the time. All maps... Empty maps... Normally after I add two aircraft! I have added the T45 mod but have had crashes with and without. I really want to fly... Please help! I have run dcs repair/cleanup. I have also renamed my savegame dcs.openbeta Neither helped. dcs.20210529-104408.log

Hi I'm also having issues with the M variant. I go into mission editor, select any map. I can spawn in L, Minigun, Mistral with no issues. If I select the M variant the cockpit does not fully load in. DCS then crashes within 30 secs!

I have been in contact with REDKITE and he advised me to use the FAST nav. alignment at start-up. This solved my issue with aircraft de-spawning and flying off to the east. I had originally been using standard full carrier alignment that takes approx. 8 mins.

Just flown the mission twice more off of CAT 3. First time around all four aircraft finally launch. Blade however just flies straight ahead after take-off and doesn't re-join. Second time around I used CAT3 again... This time I got airborne ahead of Psycho on CAT4. All 4 aircraft launch but this time Psycho stayed wheels down at about 50ft and doesn't re-join! I'm not sure what to do!

Hi. I hate to add. But I too am having this issue with 405 and 406 vanishing. I have successfully managed to launch 405 if I use CAT 2 but 406 vanishes. If I use CAT 1 both 405 and 406 vanish. Note: they don't crash, eject or park up. They de-spawn and are not shown in the event history. I've flown the mission 3 times and have been able to reproduce the issue!

I have had three tries at Mission 6. All of which have failed due to 405 and 406 failing to launch off of carrier and just disappearing. If I launch off of CAT 2, 405 manages to get airborne. Using CAT 1 it just ends up with me and 410! 410 launches just before me. Is there a sequence for the launch that I need to follow? I set the Tacan while on the ship and it looked like it was ok!

Im exactly the same. F18 and F16 HUD/MFD's Helmet Mounted HUD also during daylight conditions. Dusk/Dawn ok unless looking towards sun rise/set!

Hi Kate thanks for the update. Firstly... For those posting about FS2020 by Christmas... (No chance) Its in alpha testing with lots of bugs. Does look good though! Secondly, I am disappointed in the SC delay. But then again, I would be more upset if the module got released and didn't work. (No point) Is it possible to not announce a module for pre release purchase until it is further down the development line. That way a more accurate date can be given. An example could be the Eurofighter... Wouldn't have mentioned it at all. Develop the aircraft to a point its fully playable... Then Surprise pre purchase for next week. Servers will crash with download requests. No delays! Happy customers. Only an idea. But want you people to succeed. Keep up the good work. Stay safe.

It's been ages since moving to v2 of this sim... The Spotlight of the UH1H worked like a dream in V1. Is there any possibility of a fix anywhere on the horizon, so that the spotlight works when flying anywhere above 10ft! Please...Please... Please. Love this Helicopter to bits.

I have been finding that when refuelling behind KC135/KC130 and the S3B. All goes well... I connect to the basket. Not necessarily the first time! However, once in, I am nice and stable. This is when I find at least once during the refuel, the probe glitches out of the basket! It's very slow, but it just jumps to the side slightly... Once this has happened it is possible to glitch it back in, more often than not, it just extends to pre contact position! If this can be fixed to the level of the F18/AV8 I will be happy! Also in multi player Jester goes nuts saying all of his quips, even though the probe is connecting! So distracting there is a need to turn Jester off... Meaning no fuel call outs!

I'm finding Mission 4 is next to impossible until the search light can once again light up the scenery!

And yet the UH1h Argo mission 4 where you need your spot light doesn't light up anything! Unless you are at 20ft!
