  1. I am not sure, I got the Huey in Feb 2015 and for me it has always been like that.
  2. Unfortunately yes, all missions begin with the Huey already started. Actually in some of them you need to follow your leader, who already is in the air. I found that pretty underwhelming too.
  3. Just look for pdf files... Steam also uses to have a contextual menu for manuals
  4. Still more missions in this campaign with the same problem. The complete list is: 2, 6, 11, 13 & 14.
  5. I also recently completed this mission (last weekend I guess). In my case, the insurgents did shoot after the evac. As a matter of fact, I had them just in front of me when they started shooting.
  6. Same problem with missions 6 and 11
  7. When exactly should that sound? I am now flying the UN pilot campaign and unfortunately the helo is already started, but want to check it, as I never noticed it,
  8. OK, so this screenshot I took long ago wasn't really a bug?
  9. Mission briefings in this campaign refer to Kutaisi NDB at 477kHz as TIG, but it actually is TI. Yesterday I was like half an hour trying to tune and id TIG until I realized of the mistake...
  10. When using the Army Standard (USA) skin with an unarmed Huey, it loads incorrect textures, rendering a plain green helicopter. Attached is the fix, need to replace this .lua file. Regards uh-1h_army-standard.zip
  11. If you mean good as in "The right stuff", then I recommend "The right stuff". :) Unfortunately aviation movies are not very good if we keep space aside. Well, even "The right stuff" enters into the space theme. Others worth looking that I pretty much like: - A dark blue world - Memphis Belle - The final countdown - The aviator - Airplane! (not sure whether this one qualifies, but it is just hilarious) A few historical, almost documentary: - Midway - The Dambusters - Tora, tora, tora - Battle of Britain Some jets: - Top Gun - Iron Eagle saga (the first one is not really that bad... I mean, it is pretty bad, but watch-able... cannot say the same about the others.) TBH, there are lots more If we can include space movies, very worth seeing: - 2001: A space odyssey - Apollo 13 - From the Earth to the Moon (miniseries)
  12. So do I, but E model has internal cannon. The other variants could use an external Vulcan pod, which proved inaccurate and prone to jamming, besides being less efficient areodinamically and of course using a pylon. That is why I guess E will be preferred. OTOH, F-4J was also a nice multirole variant and it could perform carrier operations.
  13. F-4, Tornado and F-14 being some of my favourite airplanes, I don't like two seaters in simulation. I see the dual crew stuff in DCS very situational, and handling everything just one person is unrealistic. Still plenty of possibilites: F/A-18, Mirage III, MiG-23, (Super) Étendard, F-16, even realistic versions of F-15, Su-27 or MiG-29... That being said, I know that many two seaters would be very successful sellers.
  14. Actually Dassault designed and built prototypes for two aircraft simultaneously: Mirage 2000 and his big brother, Super Mirage 4000, with delta wing + canard configuration, wich was eventually cancelled. The M2000 kept those little fixed canards tho, maybe being lighter and smaller it didn't need the bigger movable ones. But the configuration was known and tested by the company.
  15. FFR: Folding Fin Rockets
  16. Predictive displays the pipper so when you put it on your locked target, the projectile stream will go through it. So, it uses same ballistics info as funnel/snake, but also some info about the target (relative position and motion vector) instead of your historical manoeuvring + range. In DCS, both F-15C and Su-27 have this kind of gunsight. Probably also MiG-29. This F-16N displays the snake and a predictive gunsight at the same time: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_tF_mQ7p54gV2ZrZEFzSUVha0E/view?usp=sharing Source: PS: If we are going to keep talking about gunsights, maybe we should move out of this thread, it seems off topic to me...
  17. Nice, Microprose F-19 manual, that was my first flight sim in PC hehe. For aiming I prefer info about the target to info about my manouvering. I have always been more accurate with fixed sights than with funnels, snakes or that P-51 sight which is basically the same, and find them totally useless for snapshots. Will check Robert Shaw's book, have it at home.
  18. Yes, it seems to mark both the pipper for the range on the snake and an unwinding circular range indicator. I have been watching some M2000 HUD footage and certainly this seems the actual behaviour. I am a bit shocked tho, I really expected a point of impact prediction in a fighter from the 80s.
  19. I mean that piper with the range scale inside the red circle. It seems to appear when a target is locked, but it just seems to be following the snake, as if only the range to the target is being used and not its position and velocity vector. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_tF_mQ7p54gNGhFbzBGWHlVOXc/view?usp=sharing
  20. I can see a pipper when he gets a lock on the target aircraft, but it just seems to follow the snake instead of computing the impact point with target parameters. That does not seem right... or is it?
  21. Ok, I understand now. Thank's to all who helped and happy to hear the progress made in the flight model, of course. :)
  22. OK. But then the SFM for the M2000 was already EFM, right? Why call it EFM now?
  23. From this post, I understand: SFM < AFM/AFM+ < EFM < PFM EFM being a lower fidelity PFM for third parties... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=122801
  24. I am somewhat confused here. The pre-purchase web (see link below) advises that this plane has AFM, and then here I read that it was SFM and now EFM. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/m2000c/ So... it is AFM or EFM?
  25. 1.- In which version would you be interested ? a.- Mirage F1C b.- Mirage F1E (for its better versatility in AA and AG, but I could live with the F.1C too; in any case, one variant is enough and faster to develop) c.- Both 2.- Would you be interested to have later on an update the two-seat version, the Mirage F1B? a.- Yes b.- No 3.- In which language would you like to have labeled the cockpit? a.- Spanish + French (original CE and EE) b.- French (I would prefer in the original aircraft languange, which I believe is a French and English mix, even for the Spanish ones) c.- English d.- Other 4.- Would you be interested in the Mirage F1M as a independent product in the future? a.- Yes b.- No
