Thanks for this thread. Explains a lot. Happy landings, Talisman

Very much this. Well said draconus. When I am flying tactically on MP using terrain cover to try and mask my helicopter low level in the normal way, similar to real life, it is not much fun knowing I am completely wasting my time and standing out like an alien craft as a large black square or cube to any human adversary on the hunt for an easy victory. In short, I do not want to stand out like the proverbial dogs dangly bits! P.S. I don't want to see anyone else and their dangly bits either, lol. Happy landings, Talisman

Well said. I won't add my list, but there are so many basic things that just seem to get overlooked or not bothered with. Some perhaps with good reason, but as a customer I find that it is getting harder to feel good about things. Things feel more disjointed than joined up. Happy landings, Talisman

I appreciate what you are saying, but I should add that my perspective is as a keen participant on MP servers for this Digital Combat Sim. Combat is competitive and I enjoy competition with other human pilots on-line. The current visuals are not conducive. Happy landings, Talisman

So all must use exploit/cheat, even if for them them the mad visuals destroy immersion and look alien, or be at a disadvantage. Not much of a choice. We don't seem to get this with other combat flight simulations. I should add that my perspective is as a keen participant on MP servers for this Digital Combat Sim.

Big thank you Zebra1-1. I am very grateful for your reply. That appears to have worked. Seems like I have to do that all the time now. Strange indeed. Happy landings, Talisman

Completed download but can't run DCS due to following message: 00000.500 STATUS: Can't run D:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin/DCS.exe: (740) The requested operation requires elevation. 00002.354 === Log closed. Please help. What is elevation? Thanks in advance. Happy landings, Talisman

OMG! LOL! You are right, I didn't even now this rubbish existed for the Huey. DCS Huey pilots have gone down in my estimation, lol. Happy landings, Talisman

Sacrilege. Hate this idea. Keep the Huey as it should be. Don't spoil such an iconic helicopter. Keep it real as possible. Happy landings, Talisman

Yes, very much agree. I use FFB2 and am also very disappointed with dead stick (no life at all) and subsequently dead aircraft due to no FFB with this module. I am very much hoping the FFB is still WIP, but the lack of clarification regarding eventual FFB is somewhat frustrating to say the least. For me, the lack of communication on this issue leaves a lot to be desired. Happy landings, Talisman

I can't tick to agree to their (Discord) terms and conditions. Great for those who can. Discord security not so good. Also: Happy landings, Talisman

For the steering knob I use the paddle (rudder) lever on my Thrustmaster TWCS throttle as it is spring loaded to the centre and works great. I have Crosswind rudder pedals, so I don't need to use the throttle paddle as a rudder and it is free to bind as the steering knob. Works very well if you have a Thrustmaster TWCS throttle.

Very much agree with OP. Link below for interest: Happy landings, Talisman

Hi folks, I can't find any up to date information about the new Heatblur DCS Cold War server on the Heatblur Simulations web site home page. I can't find any up to date information on the DCS forum either. Also, I can't find out any information with a google search either (no videos or other info). Can anyone please point me in the direction of any information about this server? I think the server is the same one that Enigma used to run which I enjoyed very much. I tried to fly the Huey on the Heatblur Cold War Server but things seem to have changed somewhat and in the end I could not fly due to no rearm or refuel. I would like to try and understand how this server works now, but no joy so far. Please don't tell me Discord is the only place for information because I don't do Discord. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Nealius, Sorry if my links might have been confusing, but I am not talking about a giant racing rig and definitely not a base-shaker. All I am talking about is a cushion for your seat that has 8 small electric motors (4 in the bottom and 4 at the back). They make very little noise and should be apartment friendly. Like this: Or this: Happy landings, Talisman

I feel vibrations through my vibrating seat cushion, HF8 or JetPad, in conjunction with SimShaker for Aviators software. I highly recommend it. I means I can keep my eyes outside the cockpit more. Links below: SimShaker for Aviators (simshaker-for-aviators.github.io) Happy landings, Talisman

Many thanks BIGNEWY. Much appreciated. Happy landings, Talisman

'Likely' is the key word. How likely I wonder. So, I stand to be corrected, but it appears that the question still stands. Will we get FFB with the Chinook? Will customers and potential customers get an answer soon I wonder? Thanks in anticipation. Happy landings, Talisman

Very much this! A separate key press to embark and disembark troops would be fabulous! Fishing about in the coms menu key settings is very off-putting to say the least. Happy landings, Talisman

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.
