Hello, I would really appreciate if anyone with such knowledge would be so nice to summarize for me shortly, in what scenarios which MMS mode/submode should be employed.

For me, who switched from the old and wonderful, but worn-out G940 to Virpil, the Fade In/Fade Out option known from Polychop helicopters is the only one that does not cause constant irritation at the inability to precisely trim the helicopter without struggling with the joystick. But my colleagues who fly on "springs" also highly praise this trim method. Therefore, I join the request to consider and positively respond to the request to make this trim method available not only in the Apache, but also in other helicopters such as Ka-50, Mi-8, Mi-24, UH-1 and the upcoming Chinook. And anticipating possible inquiries, I use the Virpil MongoosT base for the joystick, the one with clutches, which for someone used to FFB are quite a miserable and rather useless gadget, and after weeks of getting used to this mechanism, I finally gave up and settled for flying with a spring-centered joystick.

I'd suggest using the DCS-DTC. It's not instant, but still saves pleny of clicks. https://github.com/the-paid-actor/dcs-dtc/releases

Yes, it was short after departure. I thought it may be it, but that would mean Heatblur REALLY did his lessons well... Surprisingly and unbelievably well...

Has anyone else observed, that when flying supersonic, at some point, the fuel counter starts to increase it's numbers?

already implemented Dual pilot possibility in Apache
Amarok_73 replied to BalaPraveen's topic in DCS: AH-64D
My friend and I both have FFB joysticks, and believe me, I have a lot of fun in the rear cockpit listening to my G940 beat the balls of the guy in the front with the Rhino. -
Meaning, using this checkbox I can disable default "all-hearing" radio, and use the additionally defined in sound settings radios, to hear specific frequencies only?

Witchcraft still broken
Amarok_73 replied to Zachc12385's topic in DCS World Tutorial & Help Requests
Witchcraft seems to be abandoned, but in meanwhile there appeared some other projects offering the possiblity to debug Lua and real time programming. For me the best one is https://github.com/nielsvaes/dcs_code_injector -
Come on ED, it's here, You just need to pick it up!

Sure, I'm available almost every evening and I usually practice these topics.

The DL switch is used to select the radio that will be used to exchange data via Datalink, not a preset. The settings of this radio can come from a preset or manual settings. If L1, L2 or L3, which are network identifiers, are not visible on the EUFD, next to the radio you selected using the DL rocker, it means that the setup required to support Datalink is not active on this radio. EDIT: It would be way easier to explain in some live training session.

Think of a preset as a template, containing predefined settings for all types of radio (except HF, which is not implemented yet), as well as a data link, the parameters of which can be changed as needed. It is up to you to decide which of the frequencies available in a given preset you will use to assign to the selected radio types, i.e. you can choose that Victor (VHF) and FM1 radios should have the frequency from the preset you have called "Kitten", Uniform (UHF) from the preset "Auntie", and FM2 from the "Kebab" preset. You confirm the frequency selection by pressing the B5 button (the one labeled "SC" - single channel). In the Datalink settings itself, it is important that the "Originator ID" is unique for each of the helicopters taking part in the mission and this is probably the only parameter that determines the occurrence of possible errors in Datalink operation. The rest of the settings, such as Callsign (C/S) or preset names, are simply decorations that do not affect the operation of Datalink itself. As for the values that can be entered in "Originator ID", these are values from the range (if I remember correctly) 0-39, A-Z, 1A-1Z, 2A-2Z or 3A-3I, which gives a total of 127 available identifiers. And of course, it is best to arrange the preset settings in such a way that they make using them as simple as possible depending on the phase of the mission, i.e., for example, you have a separate preset for the departure airport where the Victor frequency is set to tower, a separate one for the arrival airport with the same radio set to tower frequency of the arrival airport, but in all presets you have the same Uniform frequency, because you communicate with the HQ on it, and FM1 for communication within the package, and a separate preset with FM2 frequency specific to JTAC, whose services you may need to use during the mission . But of course it can be planned completely differently and from what I know, pilots usually spend a lot of time planning the so-called "communication ladder", and thus also setting presets, which are later loaded into the helicopter's computer using DTC. This is in a very general outline and probably not entirely consistent with real-life practice, and @NeedzWD40 would probably have more acurate and detailed information, but for me this approach is enough to sort out this topic.

time weather setup at mission start.
Amarok_73 replied to grim_reaper68's topic in Mission Editor Tutorials
I remember there was the change proposal to make it possible to set the weather conditions and time at the mission load on the server, but I don't think it was escalated any further. -
Hello, What is supposed to do the Radio Checkbox in the Airplane Group properties, and why frequency for the Client planes is not editable?
-
Now it's feels softer in position correction, but still requires from a pilot a bit too much attention to get him into HH regime.
-
-
Hello, If it wasn't yet considered, would it be possible, to existing Scripting API methods toAll, toCoalition, toGroup add another method like toClient for showing marker for specific Client?
-
So You confirm my colleague observations who also was using the Steam Deck and had to stop it to be able to fly the Apache.

Sorry for delay, here's the track file. First I am showing how it works without live CP/G, then, after he connect, and activate TADS, I am using the Greyscale again, this time receiving permanently the TADS symbology on IHADSS. IHADSS Grayscale issue.trk
-
Yeah, but it will take a moment, as my CP/G already gone to sleep, and the track from our recent session where I checked it is 156 MB large.
-
@NeedzWD40 Ok, I've tested it and it seems, that this happens only with live CP/G on board.
