It is with heavy heart today I say goodbye to longtime friend and mentor of 26 years, Zipper. He passed away last night after battling some long-term health issues. He is a retired Army Vet and retired Police Officer with a combined total of 44+ years serving his country and community. His passion for military aviation, his country, his community, and DCS had no limitations. I have never met anyone who could talk to you for 3 or 4 hours about any military aircraft you had a question about. His house was museum of aviation relics, and he was walking encyclopedia of knowledge on the Army. It was a hard hit this morning getting the news as I had just finished putting something together for us on the new Marianas map. He always enjoyed flying with Kandy and I and receiving the kind responses out of the community that followed our videos. DCS will not be the same for me without him. He will be missed. I wanted to thank everyone who has followed him around with us on "into The Jungle". We always had a good laugh with the comments, and he was always our comic relief. To the best virtual wingman and friend a guy could ask for....Zipper.

ED, we need help as modules have been abandoned by Polychop
Devil 505 replied to peeter's topic in Polychop-Simulations
Just want to kind of set the tone here because I have been tracking the word from ED, Polychop Discord, and news straight from them. First and foremost @BIGNEWY has reached out multiple times to Polychop for some follow ups to questions and received no response. A while back (can't remember the date) it was officially announced internally they had lost a significant number of employees. Polychop stated very clearly this had nothing to do with Eagle Dynamics or any sort of payment problems from ED, it was 100% an internal conflict. Several months later they laid our worries to rest stating their 2 helos would continue to be supported and they were working on hiring new staff. The message came with a welcomed response and they said they were still in the game and not going anywhere. Since that last post, the only thing out of Polychop was the article posted below from 02/24/2025. I will not start rumors because I know nothing official other than the fact they have not responded to the community on the ED Forums, Discord, Youtube Videos, or their Facebook since their last post below. We can speculate all day and stir the hate train until this thread gets shut down, but bottom line is, until someone speaks up from Polychop, we will remain in the dark.

Here is a video from last week. Getting back into it and hoping the boys can join soon. We also, I just posted some photos from ViolentNomads discord of the AH-1G Cobra. Looks like it is getting close to release. Link below to the forum I posted it in if you do not follow him on discord. We will add this to Into the Jungle on its release. Also did some touch up to Antonio Airport a bit.

Anyone looking for an update on ViolentNomads Cobra, I just posted a bunch of updated photos from his discord. Sounds like he is getting close to release.

Anyone wanting to keep up more frequently, I would say track his discord. Apparently she is getting really close to release. To help VN out, I grabbed some of his latest screens from discord to put on this thread for him. @ViolentNomad Just FYI. null

OH-6A by Tobsen and Eightball
Devil 505 replied to tobi's topic in Flyable/Drivable Mods for DCS World
Keeping the Cayuse alive and hoping that Huey above is another mod coming out!!! She will be joining forces with the Cayuse and ViolentNomads Cobra upon release. -
Took the old girl out for some AAR tonight. One thing to note, you need to manually switch over to radio two on UHF to get in comms with the tanker and ensure you are on the correct channel. Also the instruction manual advises to use the PTT button, however this does not work when bound to anything. I used the comms menu button, default "/", and then called the tanker, worked fine. This was a good time this evening. Digging the AAR. Even though I set the damn tanker in an orbit around 1 waypoint.

UH-1H Revamp by Massun92
Devil 505 replied to Massun92's topic in Flyable/Drivable Mods for DCS World
Massun, you should team up with ViolentNomad. That dude is doing some wonders on the Cobra. I am sure the 2 of you could knock out an amazing older UH-1 variant. More Vietnam style. Maybe a slick. -
@MikeNolan Dan any updates on our quite Navy Girl (A-7)? Hoping to get some teasers or something soon. I know you gents are probably busy wrapping up the B-17 for MSFS, but we are all fired up to hear some more about your DCS child.

ED, we need help as modules have been abandoned by Polychop
Devil 505 replied to peeter's topic in Polychop-Simulations
@Polychop Simulations Team, I knew there was some drama I care to know nothing about at the start of the new year, and I also am well aware it did not involve ED. Not here to ask about that. I also saw the post for hiring new help and that the Gazelle and Kiowa would be maintained. It has been real quite since then with no real updates that I have heard of. Forgive me if I am incorrect in making that statement. I did my due diligence and searched for about an hour with no luck. Can you comment on the status of Polychop and where the company stands? Not looking for drama, just reassurance we still have a top-notch helo Dev in the sim. If not, it would be nice to maybe hear where or what the plans are going forward. Heres to hoping everything is good to go. Still love the Gazelle and Kiowa. I was just flying both last night. @BIGNEWY @Wags @Nick Grey @NineLine ED Team, not sure if you can comment either. Just curious if there has been something the community or myself might have missed. Thanks gents. -
DCS MiG-29A Screenshots and Videos Thread

Not to kick the hornets nest here but I have been harassing Wags and Bignewy for this in VR for years and I love it. The reflections work fine for me and do not seem to exaggerated. I am running everything on high though with a PIMAX 8K. LOVE the new visor. Best one yet. @Wags @BIGNEWY Are you guys planning on bringing the same function to the Hornet and Viper?

@Kinkkujuustovoileipä This is a 3-year-old video I shot doing some AAR in your mod. Is Version 2 still capable of AAR? I have not tried it yet but I remember needing a special C-130 mod I believe.

Much appreciated my friend! 100% recorded in vr. Old school Pimax8K. I use OBS with the VR plugin. Works like a charm.
