Flying Single Player seems better and CDI works, but I am very much into MP and it is MP that I find problems with getting CDI to work. Perhaps it is something to do with the mission scripting, particularly on MP servers where helicopters are a bit of an afterthought. Still learning the Huey and enjoying it very much. Happy landings, Talisman

Mate, I watch them all, save them YT vids, make long notes about them YT vids and try to follow them vids (a,b,c) when flying. Fly other aircraft and get on OK. This Huey is another matter. Sometimes folks make vids and miss the little details that count, or quickly over them and I have to keep re-winding. I watch 3 vids and no mention of OBS for example; all seems to happen like magic, lol. I see from the forum I am not the only one. I only come to forum as last resort after hours of researching myself. Happy landings, Talisman

I can't help, but these chaps seem to have worked something out. Happy landings, Talisman

Thanks razo+r, I will give it all a go again when I can. Happy landings, Talisman

Great, thanks. Sounds like you are putting me on the right track. But what is the location of this OBS I need to use? I can't find it mentioned in the various navigation guides out there. I have been researching this for days and many hours with no joy Many thanks for help. Happy landings, Talisman P.S. OK, think I have found the OBS on the lower left of the CDI. I tried to use this before, but it appeared not to do anything. However, I will try it again. So the OBS turns on the CDI, yes?

Thank you very much for helping. But what is 'radial' and what is 'OBS' (acronym for?)? Happy landings, Talisman

Hi Folks, I can't get the course deviation indicator (CDI) to work. How do you activate the CDI. What am I missing? I am tuned in to signals with radio on but can't get the CDI to do anything. Cant find a button to turn it on or off either. Any assistance would be gratefully received. Happy landings, Talisman

Very much like the Mig15, but not flown for a while because I recently got into the Huey. I am very much a MP flyer and not much SP. Like the Mig15 because it is not so easy to fly, has lots of quirks and is a bit of a beast, lol. Happy landings, Talisman

I have found out how to mark the F10 map and have now sorted out my SRS so that I can communicate with folks on MP. I am GMT, which I believe is 7 hrs ahead of MT. I plan to fly the MVP Korea server again for the Saturday campaign later today, so will keep a lookout for you. Happy landings, Talisman

It would be good to get a progress report from the developers regarding in-game comms, including Voice Chat if that is the direction of travel. Happy landings, Talisman

Many thanks. Now working. Great to finally get a solution for the Huey, which seems a tad difficult compared to other ac I fly in DCS. Struggling with enough buttons though, lol, and in VR. I will explore how much this will have changed things for me with the warbirds I fly later. Thanks again for your time and trouble. Very kind of you. Happy landings, Talisman

Good to hear Thumper1911. Well done. Sounds like I need a co-pilot who knows how to mark the F10 map. Happy landings, Talisman

Thanks admiki. Tried that but still no joy. Not able to transmit and no green light on the SRS overlay even when radio is on and turned to correct channel. The radios are working because I can get them to hiss in my ear when I use test button or squelch button. Thanks for trying. I might try a fresh installation of SRS. This is all far from simple, lol. I have had no trouble with SRS until I tried the Huey. A bit fed up with all this now I am afraid. Happy landings, Talisman Hi Folks, Would anyone be kind enough to post screen shots of their SRS settings specifically for the Huey? Happy landings, Talisman

Thanks Ciribob. Did that and followed instructions to disable radio switch control in SRS and disable DCS PTT in SRS but still no joy. The radios are working as I can get them to hiss in my ear when tested, but can't transmit and even when tuned to the correct channel I am not getting a green light on the overlay. Thanks for trying. Perhaps I need a fresh installation of SRS. Happy landings, Talisman

Thanks Fakum. That is interesting. I have no idea how to mark the F10 map in the first place, let alone do it while flying; also looks like we can only be effective with a co-pilot Shame we can't mark targets with smoke. I had high hopes for this server, but so far it looks like the Huey missions not so good IMHO. Happy landings, Talisman

Hi Folks, Very many thanks for your help. I have attached my settings below. My problem is that when I join a MP server I can transmit with my SRS push to talk button perfectly well and I get a green light on the SRS overlay in the 'select role' area, for example on UHF Guard channel, but as soon as I am in the cockpit and start engines and turn on radios they don't work for me. Push to talk SRS button will no longer transmit and I can't get a green light on the SRS overlay for any of channels listed. It seems like the Huey interfaces with SRS in a different way than the other aircraft I fly.

Thanks. I don't seem to be getting a prompt, but will go and get new version. However, does this mean that all my current settings are lost and I will need to reset them? Happy landings, Talisman

Are updates still automatic on launch? Just checked mine and it says version 1.3.13.0 Do I have to activate an update somehow or download new version. Thanks. Happy landings, Talisman

I would like to see. Yes, see better in VR. That would be a good start. Better visibility in VR. Yes please. Compared to other flight simulations the quality of visibility in VR is poor. Happy landings, Talisman

Hi Thumper1911, Glad you had a good time. I flew the Huey and was disappointed. What did you do to have a good time? What mission objectives did you achieve? I did not find anything useful to do and ended up being shot down by Mig-15, lol. Happy landings, Talisman

Sorry, but I don't understand your reply at all. I never use hot mic and hate hot mic, so you have totally confused me. I simply can't get my radio to transmit when I press my SRS push to talk button, even though the radio is switched on. I am not trying to us internal ac intercom, I am simply trying to communicate with pilots in other ac on the same frequency. I fly MP, so this is a problem. If anyone has an idea as to why my Huey radio will not transmit to human players on SRS, even though I can hear them, I would very much appreciate any useful feedback. Thanks. P.S. The move up and down channels selector key bindings in SRS are not working for me either, so can't change channels via SRS in the Huey for some reason. Happy landings, Talisman

Hi Folks, Please help. I have spent many hours over days trying to sort this. I have no problems with SRS for the other aircraft I fly in DCS, but the Huey is giving me a big problem. My problem is that when I join a server I can transmit with my SRS push to talk button perfectly well in the 'select role' area, for example on UHF Guard channel, but as soon as I am in the cockpit and start engines and turn on radios they don't work for me Push to talk will no longer work and I can't get a green light on the SRS overlay for any of channels listed. The UHF radio is turned on and set to transmit and number 2 is selected on the dial for primary comms air-to-air, but no joy at all. Thing is, I can receive OK and hear my mate talking to me, but I am unable to transmit to him. No joy with VHF either. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be would be very gratefully received. Happy landings, Talisman

Well done mate, nice landing. Brilliant that you have come this far and can produce videos like you have. Thank you for sharing a very different perspective on things. Good luck to you and yours. I am new to the Huey and it is my first chopper. Never thought I would like it as much as I do, but I am hooked on the Huey now that is for sure Happy landings, Talisman

Hi Caldera, Very strange that your A-10C was effected. Glad you had back-up. I always remove the Save Cockpit Angles key commands from all my ac and only ever set and use a temporary custom key as/when needed and remove it again after finished with it. Very glad all has worked out OK for you. Happy landings, Talisman

Dear Dev's, Would like to be able to see troops and rescued pilots, etc, in the back of the ac. Would like to be able to rescue MP human avatar pilots and for them to be able to board the ac properly without legs sticking out the bottom of the ac. Would like the ability for MP human avatar pilots to be able to fire location signal flare just like the AI pilots do. Would like the MP human avatar pilots rescued by SAR to be able to disembark better. Thank you in anticipation. Happy landings, Talisman
