Since the last beta update i have had to put a lot of left stick to get the apache to fly straight. The amount does not seem to change significantly with speed and is constant from the beginning of a cold start flight. I have attached a pic showing the controls indicator with a the ah64 in level (ish) flight. Is this a known bug with the new beta?

I had this last night too, it turns out that the radar altimeter is turned off by default on a cold start now. you have to go to the flt page on the mpd and turn it on. I cant remember the exact button but it is in the bottom right of the flt page. hope that helps. Cheers.

I am also having this issue, I am using a HTC Vive Pro. I suspect this might be an issue with HTC HMDs? I have attached a modified image showing (artist impression, I'm not at my computer atm) what I see when the PNVS is on. As you can see the PNVS overlaps the monocle. this is because for some reason the monocle graphic is to far away from the eye. this also causes the top of the hmd to be clipped and the balaclava to be far too visible. in the short team I have turn off the monocle in the special options, but it would be nice if this could be fixed. Thanks. I have attached a screen grab from Casmo's recent video to show how it should look. As you can see it is much closer to the eye.

Thanks, I thought I had tried left but perhaps not, I will give it a go. cheers.

Hi, I have not flown the hind for a while , and I am struggling with selecting a target from the list. In the past I used to press right short on the ai menu to select a target, but now doing that brings up the countermeasures menu. What is the command for selecting a target from the petrovich target list? cheers.

Thanks that could well be it, it do often set the cockpit lighting. I will give it a try. Thanks.

Hi I’m having an issue with the oil temp gage apparently failing on take off. It drops to zero when running up the engine for takeoff. However it does not show as a failure in the flight log. Also I can complete a full flight with no problems other than not knowing my oil temp. warm up still takes forever, is there something I am missing? if I do a hot start it works fine, so I’m not sure if it is a bug or me doing something wrong. Cheers.

Thanks, it was the Gyro, I had forgotten to turn it on. (Or actually existed ) cheers.

Do you mean the three SAS channels? If so then yes I do, if not then possibly not.

I’ve just tried this and It did not work. Still. No auto hover. Anyone have any other ideas?

Ok thanks, I’ll give it a try, I have it on an axis so perhaps it’s not going full forward. cheers

Hi I’m having a problem engaging the auto hover. In a mission I have created my self on the Syria map I have a cold start Gazelle which when I start it and lift into hover the auto hover will not engage. But if I set the same Gazelle to a hot start the auto hover does engage. I am assuming I am missing something in the cold start procedure but I can’t see what it is. Does the Nadir need setting for auto hover to work? That is the only thing I am missing out I think. Thanks

Its strange that I haver not noticed it before, although I have mostly been playing on Syria, so perhaps it only show on some maps? There is a thread in the bugs forum that seems to be related: https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/english/digital-combat-simulator/dcs-world-2-5/bugs-and-problems-ai/video-corruption-and-related-card-issues-ac/287470-reported-strange-graphical-glitch

Are you on the latest open beta released yesterday? I am and have noticed something very similar to what you describe. So far I have only noticed it on the Channel Map and the Normandy Map, when flying Spitfire and BF109, but I have not flow much else yet so I cant say it does not happen elsewhere. I get a bright flash, usually when looking towards the sun, and the sun itself seems to flash red. it is very brief and only seems to effect the sky. It is quite intermittent, I cant seem to get it to do it on command by looking back at the same spot. I'm running a Vive pro on a RTX2080ti, if it helps.

I took it to mean HMCS, as that is equivalent to the KA-50, Which I adjusted last night and it is sooo much better. ;-)

Yes I second that, its not far off for me but just needs to be a bit lower, this would be really nice to have. I didn't know you could adjust the KA-50. doh!

Really? I'll have to compare tonight. I noticed that the turbine whistle had gone. At least the starter is better. do all three versions have the same sounds? I only tried the -40.

The new beta seems to have brought a louder engine noise. Sounds much better from my POV anyway. Also the starter is much louder if not a new sound as well.

I fly in VR, so I move my head closer. unfortunately I'm not sure much can be done. Its intrinsic to an accurately 3D modelled cockpit. do you use TrackIR or some other form head tracking, if not I highly recommend it. A much larger and higher resolution display would help I guess.

Just for fun I thought I'd count up the first choice votes, I've only included the first named aircraft from each post, but i did not try to remove double posts so some may have voted more than once. I ignored variants except the Spits, and I missed out aircraft we are already getting My choice would be a P-61. but I would be well happy with a P-38. (hope this formats ok) Name votes P-38 23 Tempest 9 A6M2 Zero 7 JU-87 5 Sptifire MK14 5 P-61 4 Yak-3 4 F4U-4 3 Me262 3 Typhoon 3 BF-110 2 F6F 2 Ki-84 2 Sea Fury 2 Seafire 2 Spitfire 1a 2 Westland Whirlwind 2 DO 335 1 F8F 1 G.55 1 He-219 1 HE-219A-7 1 HS-123 1 J2M3/5 1 Ki-43 1 La-7 1 Lagg-3 1 Me-163 1 P-39 1 Pe-2 1 Stinson L-5 1 Ta152 1 Tiger Moth 1 ok formatting doesn't work but you get the point. ;-)

Hi, what is the problem you are having with using the toe breaks on your rudder pedals? You don't say in your post. I've not had any problems with the toe breaks, if anything I would say that the Thunderbolt is the easiest warbird to taxi with the tail wheel unlocked. Cheers.

Yes this is interesting, I would assume that there is a significant change in sound from having the wastegates full open. thus all the exhaust is vented from the just behind the cowl to having the wastegates fully shut where all the exhaust should be diverted though the Turbo and venting out just forward and below the tail. I have read that most P-47s these days do not have the turbo, either it is not installed or it is deactivated. So perhaps it was not possible to record the difference in sound? Assuming there is one of course.

Just adding my voice to the Choir, I have the same problems this does not work with the Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle Slew. Please take another look at this. Cheers.

I actually tested this a bit last night, the turbo spins for as long as you keep the prop spinning. If you use the prop leaver to reduce the rpm of the engine, the turbo at first speeds up a little then slows down again. but it does not stop unless you reduce the turbo leaver. I only had a few minutes to test, so this might not be fully accurate. Cheers.
