Nice to see all the 'likes'. But will it ever happen ED? Happy landings, Talisman

Steady on wombat778. If you read this thread you will see this topic was raised and questions asked about FFB after a newsletter back in June! Happy landings, Talisman

But why no official response to answer the valid questions and concerns regarding FFB? Why not mentioned at all from the beginning so that questions and concerns are not even an issue? Feels to me like customers are being left hanging over this issue. We already take many leaps of faith to support DCS, so some customer information on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Happy landings, Talisman Interesting. I am getting nothing at all with my MSFF2 joystick/cyclic. Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by dampening hydraulic stays. So some folks are actually getting FFB? Happy landings, Talisman

But BIGNEWY appears to have ignored the FFB issue raised in this thread. So now I am even more concerned that we are not getting FFB. Can somebody please confirm if we will be getting FFB for the Chinook or not. Happy landings, Talisman

No FFB is very disappointing indeed. Don't think I will be flying the Chinook. Back to the Huey for me then. Happy landings, Talisman P.S. We have been moved to the wish list, so does that mean there are no plans for FFB!?

Trim responds! I can't get any trim response at all! Happy landings, Talisman Edit, sorry, just found this so will give it a go. My bad.

Yes please. British livery would be great. Happy landings, Talisman

Yes, extremely low fps, very bad. What a shame. Suppose glass cockpit will not help much. Happy landings, Talisman

Yes, horrible. I presume the glass cockpit will not help this. Happy landings, Talisman

Very much agree with your sentiment. Happy landings, Talisman

Looking good. Big shame this has to be a mod and not provided as a matter of course by DCS. Happy landings, Talisman

Yes, it is very difficult I must say. So much so that most maps I am not able to fly. Can only fly one map and that is the Caucasus map and then with difficulty. Happy landings, Talisman

I think DCS could do well to improve our helicopter flight simulation immersion similar to the following screen shots. Happy landings, Talisman

However, shorter sorties and more constant occurrences of landing and taking off and picking up and disembarking passengers are a larger key feature for helicopter operations generally. If DCS has taken a first step with carrier operations then another step in terms of helicopters could be the next logical step for a graduated approach. Much easier to deal with a small FOB/FARP or operational LZ than every large airport. Seeing troops in the back is a large part of the job for transport helicopters and dispersing smoke (including LZ signal smoke) would very much add to immersion. Ground and air attack aircraft get the pleasure of seeing the effects of their weapons on enemy targets as job satisfaction and I think it would be a good feature to actually see what I am transporting when I look to the rear cabin in a transport helicopter. Happy landings, Talisman

Dear DCS developers, This is a request for improved immersion for helicopter operations. I believe that there is an awful lot more that DCS could do to widen the focus on helicopter operations and the relevant associated details to improve immersion. A lot has been done for carrier operations with ground personnel interacting (waving/signalling/marshalling, etc) on the carrier deck and other immersive improvements. I would like to request that DCS turns it's attention to helicopter operations in a similar manner. To also include things like seeing troops/personnel in the back of helicopters, including embarking and disembarking, smoke being dispersed by moving rotor blades, etc. Helicopter FOB/FARP and Landing Zone operations could be so much better if interaction with ground personnel was included similar to super carrier operations. Thank you for considering this request. Happy landings, Talisman

Great thread. Thanks. Very much agree that it would be much more immersive to have smoke moved by prop/rotor-wash. I think there is a lot of room for DCS to widen the focus on helicopter operations and the relevant associated details to improve immersion. Happy landings, Talisman

Huey best sound, best fun and by far the best music! I am hoping second best will be Chinook! Happy landings, Talisman

Yes, Huey needs some love. Still the best DCS aircraft ever, but needs and very much deserves an update. Come on DCS, you know it makes sense. Happy landings, Talisman

Nice one. Should be great with your JetPad and SimShaker. I love the SimShaker feedback I get with the Huey. Looks like we are both hanging on in there with the good old GTX 1080ti. Though mine struggles a bit with the Phantom. I hope the glass cockpit we are getting in the DCS Chinook is not too demanding on the fps front. Saving up for a new all singing and dancing PC rig for next year. Happy landings, Talisman

Nice pictures Tank50us. Jolly good show. Come on DCS. You know it makes sense. Happy landings, Talisman

I have now juggled the many audio volume settings and can at last hear and understand Jester. My solution was found when I turned down the 'volume in-cockpit' setting from 100 to 60, with my 'helmet volume' set to 100. (World is set to 90 and overall volume set to 80) Hope this might help others too. P.S. Now need to turn down the Phantom AOA warning volume in the cockpit as it is ear splitting, lol. And, Jester still doesn't sound much like he is on a real radio intercom, so I would like to have better 'radio effect' for Jester voice if the developers would be so kind. Happy landings, Talisman

I don't own speakers and use a haptic headset for all sound. The haptics are brilliant and very immersive. Just need more volume on the intercom for Jester. Not a big ask I would have thought as folks always have the option to turn down the intercom volume as required. Just need more top end volume on the intercom. Plus I find that Jester in cockpit radio effects could do with some improvement as he doesn't sound much like he is on a real radio intercom. Happy landings, Talisman

Faint coms for me too, particularly with Phantom Jester. Have intercom on max volume and hear like helmet too but Jester is still faint. I would like to turn up Jester coms but no can do! Happy landings, Talisman

Would love to fly the Folland Gnat Fighter in DCS. Smaller than a Spitfire! Roll rate greater than 360 deg per second! Proven in combat.
