I would look but i don't have NTTR. What was your weight?

Glad to help!

2:40 he says: "The cockpit of the M-2000C that RAZBAM put together is top notch" 6:10 he says: "I am taxiing to the active runway now" Also, "top notch" means very very good.

I have not heard, can you elaborate?

IIRC the russians didn't load more than 4 pods so that may be the issue. *Page 322 in DCS mi-8 manual. EDIT: Footnote: Not in service for administrative reasons, but technically supported by the Mi-8MTV2 weapons control system.

Yep, just trying to help :thumbup:

Oh, good, it was a while ago last time i checked so they must have fixed it.

hmm... It worked for me, did you edit the commands at all after copy/pasting them?

I don't think so, as I have tried holding the trigger down until the sequence is done each time and IIRC there were still rockets left. i can usually get them to fire by pressing fire a few times, but its pretty annoying nonetheless.

If you practice with EGT limits off you will be training to have bad habits that will be very hard to break when you progress. You can post a track (after the flight there is a save track button, which will save it to C:\Users\[your user name]\Saved Games\DCS\Tracks) post that here so we can help you and make sure that it is not a bug.

Well, MMJoy supports 96 and DCS supports 128 inputs so we are not restricted to 32 buttons like most games.

Yeah, that is definitely an issue if you have a lot of switches. I personally prefer to spend more time wiring and less coding, but if you run out of inputs then that answers that!

I use an ON-ON-ON switch and DCS recognizes all 3 positions fine, with no lua editing either.

Thanks!

+1!!!

I agree 100%!

+1!

I would curious to see your data on how frequently that kind of thing happens (I'm being serious, not smarty pants). I get what you are saying and it makes sense, but i would like to know how often things like that happen. There is obviously trade-offs to any design, but it seems very counter intuitive to have controls that can work independently of each other, even if you can take control, there is still room for confusion. Like I said, contributed. I think a much bigger problem is most airline pilots lack of currency in actually flying the plane instead of just managing computer systems 95% of the time. (Wait, were you saying that the control issue happening at all is speculation?)

Yeah, I just have a basic i5 (NOT overclocked) and I have never noticed much of a performance difference with AI, Granted thats only ground units and I have a nice GPU (specs in sig). I'm running a single 1080p monitor which may make a big difference.

But in the confusion of this incident the captain did not take over and was not aware of what the other pilot was doing. It is impossible to not know where the controls actually are in a connected system. I don't know how something that contributed (not caused, contributed) to an incident which ended in the death of 228 people can not be seen as a flaw. And again this is not related to cockpit design of single seat combat aircraft. As to a side stick being harder to use with a bad right arm, I think it would definitely be harder to be reaching all the way across the cockpit between the throttle and the stick while dealing with emergencies and pain. Its about making things easier not just possible. Very interesting discussion by the way.

Like i said, i was talking specifically about airbus vs. boeing and that it was off topic. Apart from that, I personally have always thought the center stick made more sense and was more intuitive/versatile. And that doesn't mean i am completely against side sticks or anything, do what ever gives you the most comfort and control.

There was an airbus (Air france i believe) that the co-pilot was making a large nose up input and the pilot was making a large nose down input (or the other way around) without knowing what the other one was doing and since the FCS takes the average of the inputs and they ended up stalling and crashing IIRC. I can't find the crash right now, but i will keep looking and post it if i find it. I know its anecdotal but it illustrates at least a flaw in a system with unconnected controls. And of course it's just my opinion, and the airbus side stick vs yoke is kind of OT anyway. P.S. Found it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447#Sidestick_control_issue Looks like there were other factors that caused initial error, but were exacerbated by the control issue.

I would say from a safety standpoint the airbus style has proven more dangerous and less intuitive (no feedback to what the other pilot is doing). But that is not really pertinent to this discussion. Personally side sticks just look annoying and uncomfortable. IMHO

Agree 100 percent! Great post!
