Oh well... It was fun while it lasted. :\

Man... I will not going to make it... Off home those two days. Nice flights for the folks. After make a report please! :pilotfly:

Hello, For the Bambi Bucket and Jeep Willys. Bambi Bucket depends on the size. http://www.sei-ind.com/sites/default/files/pdf/Bambi-Bucket-Operations-Manual.pdf You have there all the specifications regarding size/volume, etc. Some operators restrict the water they can load up. For the Jeep. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willys_MB For the concrete block, assume: Simple Concrete: -Without Armor - 24 kN/m3 (2400 kg/m3) - With Armor - 25 kN/m3 (2500 kg/m3) Then if you know the volume you can know the weight, at least is the best estimate. For the Shell fuel depots, try to contact them and ask. They tend to be normalized/certified, do they must have some kind of tables. For the ammo boxes and the other vehicle object (GPU?) I don't know. Hope it helps. Regards. EDIT: Sorry I thought you were asking for all the weights. You can make an estimate about the weight. Size you know the size and weight of a single 5.56 round and HEAT warhead, you can probably estimate good.

+1 For this too. OT: Just a few cockpit photos of the G, great photos. http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=411

I don't like this type of polls. No real option is given to vote. Option should be: Yes No Then ask politely people to tell its opinion. So for me the reply is yes, although I would rather see the Mig-23 Flogger (If possible the MLD, Flogger K) and after it the F-4 Phantom II (G version for me, please :) ). Please don't make this kind of polls. This does not give a real perception of what people wants to developers, but maybe that was your intent.

The problem seems to be with the trim. Starting a mission with the helicopter flying and then doing an auto, if you put the joystick full aft, you don't get the cyclic to be fully aft, you have to reset the trim first. Try that please and see if you get the same results. If you start the mission with the aircraft on the ground there is not problem.

Hi guys, I've had an engine failure at 2000 FT around 100 KIAS. It was almost impossible to recover 60 KIAS and after that it seems that there was almost none cyclic authority to do the flare. The second auto I did was with full aft cyclic and the nose dropped like a rock. Anyone noticed any difference in auto behavior? Regards

Amazing Excellent work.

Yes, this happens too in Su33. AI just launch it self with wings folded. Then eject. If you switch in mission editor to runway start then there is no problem. There are multiple problems with naval ops in 1.2.7. Regards.

Ok, first of all, that you a lot for all your replies. Second, I did not title my post with "Complaining because I do not have the minimum amount of RAM.", if I want it to be like that I would. So next time I hope, for the sake of content owning, that at least I get a recommendation from a moderator. Thank you. And lastly, yesterday I download open beta 1.2.7., guess what? For the same settings I have a lot better results, don't get stutters anymore, don't have the problem with the view stopping each time I look other way, and I now can put more units in the sim than just my aircraft. So congratulations on the release of the open beta, because it really made the world difference for me. Yes, as I said, I probably don't have the minimum requirements for running the sim as it should, but in my opinion, and as the engine is still the same, I probably was right regarding optimizing the textures/systems/3D models. If you have background or work on 3D, you know that simple things that cannot be seen make a lot of difference when it relates to PC performance. Otherwise with the same settings, same mission, I would get the same problems as I did in 1.2.6. Best regards and thank you.

I'm talking about visual changes with the same settings. Mainly textures. But yes, all of you are right, I am just asking for some tweaks so guys like me that can't afford new hardware could still use the sim. Thanks guys.

Ok, I understand that. Honestly I don't see much significant difference between now and when A10C was released. And I didn't have half the performance problems I have now. Online for me is a no go, unfortunately, although I made many sorties with A10C, without any significant performance problems. I understand that as software advance, so does the hardware do to take advantage of it, but developer has to take in mind to have different option for different PC hardware. What I am trying to say is that for the same settings I have lots of performance issues, so probably there are things that have to be tweaked. Just my two cents. Regards and thanks for the replies, unfortunately I don't have money for upgrading, but the say is, "if you don't have money, shouldn't have addictions".

Hello, Will the next update at least optimize the memory usage better? The sim is getting close to being unusable. I mainly have stutters regarding building textures. Takes lots of time to load, in game. For example moving the head in game. Also mainly with Mi8. But this happens with Su25 for example. My opinion and advice, is that the memory usage/pre load should be optimized. Clearly something is wrong with that. Can we have a word on this issue for the next update? Regards.

Will this be the final place for the dispenser? I never saw a dispenser on that position on the Huey, rather in the begginig of the tail section (close to the baggage compartment). Usually that position is for another type of device (MLWS) as in the nose section. Regards.

Is it worthy? I'm in need of a good strategic game, recently I tried ArmA Tactics, it has potential, but its too dumb down for android/ipad hardware. Couple of years ago there was a strategy game, by name "World in Conflict", it was fun, but limited. Regards.

I agree in part with what you said, today the recommended is the minimum. Around 10 years ago, the minimum requirements were those specifications you should have to be able to run the simulation in the lowest quality or without some features. But as I said earlier, I am able to run Ka50 in missions without a problem/stutters with my PC and settings. But as soon as I load up a Belsimtek helicopter, I start to have all kinds of stutters/breaks. Still there are minimum system requirements that should be able to run the sim without problem in the lowest settings: As far as I am able to understand, I have better CPU/Memory/Free Space against Video RAM. Probably the stutters are caused because of the less GPU RAM, still I don't have it in EDs DCS aircrafts. Regards.

Good afternoon all, I have to disagree with you in some points. I understand what you said, regarding that as software's complexity grows, also the problems associated with that grow start to show up. But in this specific case, DCS: World last update, I think there is a bit of optimization on the side. I don't know if it's ED fault or Belsimtek and I don't really care as a costumer. But as a costumer I just know the last update lacks a bit of optimization, either because there are a lot of implementations in the software, Beta versions or because of the software's complexity. Just as a matter of example; I can run a mission with Ka50 BS 2 and don't have any stutters. In the same conditions, under the same graphic options, switching to Mi8 or Huey, and putting some AI Mi8 and Huey units, and the stutters are immense. Sometimes going up to 60 seconds. I know I don't have the top, last end game/sim platform, that's why option and optimization comes to play, to allow different PC hardware/software run the simulation smooth. That's seems not to be the case with the last update. If we all have to get top end PCs, then we would buy consoles instead of PCs. This is just my opinion on the subject, probably it's not the most correct, but I think that if we always need a 500€/1500€ PC machine every two years, then there will be no more money left for spending in the simulation. My system has already more or less 4 years, it's getting outdated, but it should run the sim with lower/medium settings. Thank you and kind regards.

I have horrible stutters when other units are present. I still got some if only my aircraft is in the map but not as bad as the others; some times turning head means 30 to 60 seconds of waiting... :mad:

LOL Have you noticed your turbine temperature? :smartass: Vne is 250 kmph if I am not mistaken (@sea level ISA).

Are you talking about chord length? If you are, then you are right. In aerodynamically terms; L = (1/2) d v2 s CL Lets consider equal density (d), equal lift coefficient (CL). v, velocity, for simplicity lets consider RRPM in this case, is more or less the same. Lets take a look at s factor. Wing area. Lets say that the wing area is constant. If you have more blades they will look thinner, because they can be for the same Lift (L). Lets say you have s = 8m2, if you have two blades, the s of each blade will be 4 m2 now if you have 4 blades, each blade will have 2 m2. So they will in fact be "thinner", assuming the blades have the same length. For example; Bell 212 and Bell 412. Hope you understand it correctly, if for any reason I am wrong please correct me. Best regards.

I also have this issues.

Hi there, With the Mi8 I have huge breaks, usually turning view to Huey/Kamov/Airfield. The sim is running fluid, but sometimes when rotating view I have huge breaks, the sim stalls and for about 30/60 seconds it's reading HD, after that the sim goes fluid again. Some times it's more like a series of breaks, making the Mi8 not flyable at all. Don't know if other are experience any performance drop. Probably is my machine. Regards.

It depends on the air speed and amount of water. Usually it's worst in low speed flight, after 30 or 40 knots the water just start to run along the fuselage/windshield. I've flown a lot in rain and usually I don't have the necessity for wipers, only if it's raining a lot. I had much more problems with frost/mist in the windshield than rain. Regards.

Amazing piece of software. That solved the trim problem. Just have a question, how to you assign a different key for trimming? Thank you for the help.

Hello, Can someone tell me how to set up the force feedback axis in Mi8. I have a MS Sidewinder 2 FF, not problems setting it on Huey, swapping the axis, but I can't honestly fix it in Mi8. Thanks.
