Is there any chance he switched from automatic to manual mode? Its the switch to the left of the burst length switch.

This request has got to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen

The KA-52 does have an ejection system like the Ka-50. I have no clue as to why it wasn't used.

Also I've noticed his website is gone. Wonder if they closed up.

Well maybe just a general rule of thumb, if we have a machine that can run DCS world well right now. edit: I'm hoping they can release some kind of minimum/recommended system specs

Is there a verdict regarding performance. Will we expect similar or slight increase in performance on our existing machines? Or will we need to upgrade.

I have had much success using the -6 degree course correction. Whether it is entirely accurate or not I don't know. I flew a 50 mile course (with no wind) using -6 on my course correction and ended up extremely close to where I wanted to be.

Anyone know if the system specs will go up a lot? Looks fantastic, just dont want a slideshow.

Well the DCS world specs were updated a week or two ago. I wonder if that was for Edge.

My big hope is that this is more optimized. Like Arma 3 has much better graphics than Arma 2, yet I experienced an increase in FPS. Hope that happens here

This is looking amazing!! Hope my current computer can handle it tho, I average 50fps now, hopefully it stays that way!

Awesome can't wait for the Hungarian skin! Nice job

Thanks for clarifying, I never knew the oil dilution didn't work when engine wasn't running. I guess my longish warm up times were enough to heat the oil

Charly, The oil dilution adds gasoline into the oil to make it thinner for starting (edit:the gasoline will eventually burn off when the engine is running). When oil gets cold it is very thinck and doesn't flow easily. I notice this when my engine is cold in my pickup in the winter, I can see my oil pressure gauge skyrocket when I floor it on a cold engine. My suggestion would be to try the oil dilution for 30 seconds before starting, then start and let it warm up for 5 minutes. You will know the engine and oil is warm when the oil pressure gauge doesn't go above redline when you give it throttle. Its the small gauge on the left directly under the oil temperature. Try that and see if that works. Edit: Also just out of curiosity use the left fuel tank, as thats the one I always use when taking off

The IFF system is not modeled in any of the DCS aircraft, including the same system that is in the A-10. The reason I believe is that it is still classified. If you want to have the caution light turn off look at the IFF system, its above the NAV and Comms radios in the center panel, (right by the copilots right knee). At the top you will see 2 knobs, if you turn the right knob a click, it will turn the system "on" thus turning off the caution light. Even thought the system is "on" it has no functionality. Edit: Also, not sure if you know but the switch to the left of the caution panel can be used to turn off the Master Caution light that is in the middle of the instrument panel. It's a two way switch, meaning if you left or right click it will have different functions. One will turn on all the caution lights to test the bulbs, the other will reset the Master Caution light. Reset the light after you turn "on" the IFF system.

Interesting, because the manual says that the oil dilution can be used for up to 2 minutes. Im surprised 8 seconds would affect it. I usually let the stang warm up for several min or so when its cold weather. Ill start up and grab food/drink, or have a bathroom break.. because once you take off there is no way you can step away from the controls for any length of time before becoming a bomb

Well that explains how I did a flight at 40k feet one time with the carb temp gauge reading -50c. I was wondering why nothing went wrong, btw carb heat was on too.

I would check your oil pressure gauge, when your engine is warmed up, the pressure wont go past redline when you give it throttle. I haven't had any of the symptoms you have when doing cold weather takeoffs. Only other tip I have is I slowly advance the throttle. I have noticed if you ram it forward she doesn't like that sometimes and will begin to knock. EDIT: Also, I know this sounds dumb but check which tank you have the fuel selector on. If I load out with heavy ordinance, I cannot take a full fuel load. The way DCS works is it fill the main tanks (left and right) first, than after that it will fill the center fuselage tank. I have had time where there is a tiny amount of fuel in the center tank and it runs out on or directly after the take off. The coughing sound generally happens when you run out of gas

Sorry for the triple post but this was a post from Nate many years ago

Here was a better video by PeterP (all credits to him)

Thanks for the video. I agree that the Ka-50 overtrims. I had always believed this was a result of the AP fighting the pilot input. Say if you give it forward cyclic, the AP will give a % of backward cyclic (up to 20%). When you press the trimmer, the AP input immediately stops, which is what would cause the forward overtrim. It is interesting to note that in the video the flight doesn't seem to be overly smooth there is quite a bit of jerking around.

Make sure your using the NoseWheelSteering (NWS) to turn the laser on. You need to turn it on roughly 12 seconds before impact. In the profile settings page you can also set it up to auto-laser the target for you just before impact.

I too have noticed lower fps with the Mi-8

From what I know it was never installed on the "long" Hueys with the extended fuselage. These were used as transport. The 40mm was installed on some of the "short" fuselage Hueys. The short ones were used as gunships. Also from what I have heard it could not be installed on the long Huey's as it would throw off the CG
