No doubt.... It's a KC-135 cause Kerosene starts with a K, if it was a T135 it would be a trainer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1962_United_States_Tri-Service_aircraft_designation_system

Indeed - the Huey skids have replaceable skid shoes to allow, well - skidding.

Just checking your vid and not sure what issue you are having? You selected A-A mode and it placed you in A-A mode with Aim-9X selected in air-air missile mode (AAM). If you want Aim-120 then long-press your missile step button on stick. You then selected in MFD to switch to GUN mode and the Enhanced Envelope Gun Sight was selected - which is what you asked for by pressing that OSB. You then de-selected GUN mode and went back to A-A missiles. Are you wondering why we don't have other gun modes available yet? Like LCOS etc - WIP I believe. The SMS page is correct in that it shows you your missile count and BORE/SLAVE selection for the missile. You then selected the SMS MFD page at bottom row, and told the aircraft you wanted the SMS page to be displayed there instead by selecting SMS at OSB 6 (You could select any one of those options to replace the SMS selection at bottom row). It then displayed the 'other' SMS page option with is the complete aircraft inventory (which enables you to manually select specific stations etc for jettison or whatever by hitting the OSBs aligned with each station once or multiple times to jettison the whole rack, or just check aircraft loadout in general) - indicated by the highlighted INV at the top as you saw. You then 'de-selected' the Inventory option and it displayed the A-A SMS page as originally displayed. Chuck on ALT HLD and just have a play with the MFD's in flight to get an idea how each works and the available options. What you did there I do right after engine start every flight, so select A-A Master Mode on ICP, then I swap my default weapon to the Aim-120, so when I hit A-A later in mission it brings up that missile not the Aim-9X, if I want that I use DGFT mode on throttle which also activates the 'Cool' function (not activated using A-A Master Mode, which is why it still shows 'Warm'). You can 'pre-select' all the lower line of options for each MFD in each mode on the ground before you go flying, then just hit one button (A-A or A-G) and use DMS on stick to swap between MFD screens - shouldn't need to hit an OSB when past the IP so to speak. Ingress to target, select A-G Master Mode then select MRM on throttle to scan for air threats, at IP then just cancel MRM and you are straight into A-G ready to employ weapons (as you set both A-G mode MFD's up before you took of), dropped bombs - back to MRM mode using throttle. Sry for wall of text - Hope that all helps

Yes it is, so you can see what the tracking system has to work with lol. All I can suggest is just add a few more reference markers. I have black tape along some edges where the walls blends with ceiling or a door etc, just to try and break it up. There are a few videos on YT I have seen in the past that show in real time the cameras 'seeing' and tracking these objects which helps get a feel for what it needs to work properly.

With saying you need light, I have read you can have TOO MUCH light in the room as well lol. So it essentially washes out any contrast with items the cameras need for tracking etc. Use the 'Torch' mode to see what the cameras are seeing and check it out. Have you tried the reset your environment option in WMR and starting again.

Running a Sapphire Nitro+ 6800XT with Reverb G2 and have zero problems, runs great. Am using Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.2.3 Optional for Win 10 64-bit. Think the problems were with earlier drivers, initially used Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.11.2 Recommended (WHQL) which I had problems with. Will only get better with driver updates. https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-6000-series/amd-radeon-6800-series/amd-radeon-rx-6800-xt

Show me on the doll where the bad man touched you....

You not understanding something sounds like a you problem, that you could keep to yourself.

......yes I am aware who made the module., however HB are far and away the best cockpits in DCS, hence the desire to see ED contract HB to make the Sabre amazing.

I would absolutely pay for Heatblur to re-do the cockpit/textures of the Sabre at this point. Really enjoying the aircraft and is one of the few aircraft I still fly in DCS out of my collection of modules.

Also make sure there are plenty of objects in the room/on the walls for the cameras to reference. My tracking improved after I chucked up a few pictures, and also added some segments of black foam draft strip to the skirting board to my right as I sit in a sim rig which is about a foot from the wall, so when I looked down to my right to look at switch console etc in cockpit there wasn't much to track and it wandered a bit. Now with those strips down by the floor it is rock solid.

Same here - running a 6800XT with 5900X CPU on latest X570 and see a huge CPU frametime increase when I turn my head and place an AI aircraft in the view - even if it is a little speck in the distance, just crazy. But overall having pretty good performance with similar settings to above - noticed I was maxing out my 16GB of VRAM on PG the other day leading to big pauses, while it swaps out to sys memory for textures etc I assume, so going to try reducing preload radius from max, going to stay using high terrain textures. But the poor performance in VR compared to other flight sims is quite a shame, fingers crossed for the 'upcoming optimisations and Vulkan".....one day.

By all accounts the Mi-8 has a very 'realistic' flight model. Personally I like it but I have never flown one IRL so can't comment. Until someone actually compares the Mi-24 FM to actual data then we won't know how good it is, but will have a general idea if if 'feels' good. The Gazelle is an interesting example - as there are plenty here on he forum whose mates brothers first cousins uncle is a Gazelle pilot and reckons the DCS Gazelle flight model is spot-on. Then you have someone actually go and compare the FM to real flight test data - and the DCS aircraft bears no resemblance to any aspect of the real aircrafts performance or handling whatsoever, check YT vid below - very interesting analysis. As stated in the vid - this is not to have a go at PC, as they are a WIP with their FM, but just a word of caution when these pilots give their 'opinion' of the aircraft FM in DCS.

Mi-24 assault tactics...Fly towards target, when in range - FIRE EVERYTHING - fly away. As stated above, Hind not used for troop insertion, hold full of ammo etc. Troop insertions under fire in the Hip are a bit of a PITA in DCS as it is very fragile, and a couple of 7.62mm pretty much anywhere will end in disaster. Praying to baby Jesus that the Hind is a lot more 'robust'...

Talking of bouncing, reading Gunship Ace about a chap flying Hips and Hinds in Africa etc and he was saying in the Hip when he was hot and heavy he used to just roll along, pull as much collective as he could to get a little height, then dump the collective and pull again and hope the bounce from the landing gear shocks was enough to help bounce him up over the trees ahead lol.

Yeah, also use Priority, that way it just shows important stuff in that little RWR, not every emitter under the sun.

IIRC - TMS aft a couple of times, MFD 'CZ' then 'SP'.

Lol yes I am well aware of that - as I said I wanted to test the tipping. As I also said the tipping was as-per expected....it was the ending up upside down resting on the canopy that was probably a little OTT.

Once you TMS up on a Track tgt, or TMS right anywhere, targets become System tgts and you can position your cursers over a tgt (they attach to the tgt) to make it a Curser tgt which prioritises it for radar updates without actually designating it. Enables quick upgrade to STT if you want as your cursers follow the tgt track, while still painting the surrounding tgts. As stated above, make sure the radar has built good track tgts before trying to TMS right through them. Map the Filter DLINK display button to your throttle for your radar to dbl check you have a good radar return (white box).

Haha tested this out last night with a small turn at around 30 knots, unsurprisingly resulting in tipping. What is possibly a little exaggerated is ultimately ending up entirely upside down sitting on your canopy after a couple of swerves from wingtip to wingtip lol. Might need toning down just a little...

NVM, will just try to make a track....

If you say so

If the SAM is tracking a target in the opposite direction, your RWR is detecting the return energy off the other targeted aircraft, the same energy the SAM is detecting.

Ummm, can't you just click and drag it via the border with the mouse?

Yep rgr that - personally once I have accepted the INS position I dobber left away from INS page and continue with after-start setup. When ALIGN flashes in HUD I shift to NAV - easy.
