Hello, in the newsletter below there's a link to a 3d modelling document. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/upload/medialibrary/d9e/grkacdl86onf14ah185aluy6udaktszb/3D_Unit_Modelling.pdf You can see that the side door or hatch of the BTR-82 is open. Is there a way to get this state!? Using triggers or waypoint actions? I know setting the AI ground objects in alarmstate red closes driver hatches and such things. But the side door would be nice placing soldiers next to it. Regards Jens

Works as intended. Oxygen switch off, no problems as long as cabin is pressurized. Seconds after dumping cabin pressure with the switch on ECS control panel on right console, the vision gets blurry. Putting oxygen switch to on position, even with ambient outside air pressure at 30000 ft, pilot regains consciousness. Tested in current OB 2.7.1.7139 Regards Jens

@Crash * What was your flight? Only putting the oxygen switch to off? Or also putting the canopy lever in the unpressurized position? As long as as the cockpit is pressurized, the cabin pressure will help a lot. Will try next time, taking of with unpressurized cabin and oxygen off. Thanks @Fri13 for the reminder. Always forget about the pressurized cockpit in the non warbird planes.

Need to do a proper track file. Yesterday I flew several minutes between 23000 ft and 30000 ft with oxygen set to off. Nothing happened. But I switched it to off only after reaching 20000 ft. How long will it take to see problems? I guess, will try with the switch off from startup next time.

That's exactly what I thought yesterday. I don't want to have a large deadzone for hand flying, but during AP operation, all the small center movements of the normal desktop joysticks should not interfere. Don't have the problem in F-18, F-16 or Mirage (I know, these are FBW) using the same small deadzone of 4.

Mi-8 also has two inverter switches. Wags only flipped the left guarded switch to on. We will see, I think. this will get fixed and we will see it in the detailed startup later on.

As you need to monitor the EGT during startup to cut the fuel when having a hot start, I guess, it's not yet implemented or Comrade Wags missed a switch. It's working in the Mi-8, so should be the same in the Mi-24. @Lampshade Regarding the mirror frame, I noticed that also. Looks like an early build with some glitches.

Fixed in current OB 2.7.1.6430. Great support here even for the small items. Makes it much more immersive having all those little details.

Have you restarted DCS as a whole? Just remapping is not sufficient.

Thanks for fixing even the small things. Great level of detail. Also noticed the accuracy of the helmet sun visor. Wondered why the vision got lighter after switching off the battery and realized, that I had the visor down, but without battery, the helmet rests on the cockpit wall, so no more visor in front of the eyes.

Hello, this one is in 2.7 open beta (DCS/2.7.0.5659 DCS revision: 185653). Steps to reproduce the behaviour of the fuel flow reset button in CC or EB version to get different results: - cold and dark 101CC - clicking or using keybind for fuel flow reset button, the knob gets pulled - cold and dark 101EB - clicking fuel flow reset button, the knob gets pulled - using the keybind, the fuel flow reset button is of type push and release Please see also tracks attached. So is it a pull and release knob or push and release? Regards Jens C-101CC_fuel_flow_reset_2.7 C-101EB_fuel_flow_reset_2.7

Thanks. Will give it a try next update. A strange one indeed, messed around with the avionics and found this.

Hello, just a minor glitch I noticed today in the C-101CC in open beta. DCS/2.7.0.5659 revision: 185653 Every click on VOR/ILS Test switch on VHF COM/NAV radio from neutral to left of right moves the emergency fuel lever one position. Steps to reproduce: - start cold and dark front cockpit - right mouse button click on VOR/ILS Test switch on VHF COM/NAV radio - emergency fuel lever moves forward - left mouse button click on VOR/ILS Test switch on VHF COM/NAV radio two times (back to neutral and to the left) - emergency fuel lever moves backwards See trackfile attached. Thanks Jens C-101CC_VOR-ILS_Test_switch_moves_emerg_fuel_2.7

Had the same happening today. Glad I saw this thread before. Clearing and remapping after game restart fixed the bindings.

Maybe a seperate thread would be better Can't say something about. I'm only playing single player and mostly EB version and a bit ground strafing with gun or rockets in the CC. I guess, that's a low prio thing for aviodev. They focus on getting multicrew fixed.

Correct, you need to fly straight and level while holding the switch depressed. Same goes for the HSI, heading will be far off after some wild maneuvers from magnetic. The HSI will correct itself after some minutes of flying straight and level.

Hello, plane get stuck into the ground outside the new hangars. Coordinates can be seen in screenshot. DCS: DCS/2.7.0.5118 Regards Jens

Hello, DCS 2.7 introduced loadout details, so Mk-82 got the description of being a 500lb general purpose bomb low drag. In the C-101CC loadout menu, the models' specific bombs are missing this addition, only having BR-250, BR-500, BIN-200, Belouga, 4*BDU-33 and the symbols in the list. Please see screenshot below. Is this a thing ED has to add or is it model specific? Thanks Jens

You will find further information here. or here

Same for me. It's the first time for long, that I'm flying on OB. As I'm only using single player, OB is okay. Only had some CTDs after doing many terrain and mission switches in Mission Editor in one session.

Hello, I wanted to ask if the behaviour of the fuel quantity selector knob CW / CCW has been changed intentionally? Attached are two tracks, one from 2.5.6 and one from 2.7. In 2.5.6 I'm able to go into the test position by holding the key which I have assigned to fuel quantity selector CCW, if it was in norm position before. In 2.7, this no longer works. Only switching positions from norm to ext tanks and back work with CW and CCW key commands. Even the assignment of test position does nothing. In 2.7 the test position can only be toggled with holding left mouse button. Regards Jens F-16_fuel_qut_sel_2.5.6_test.trk F-16_fuel_quty_sel_test_2.7.trk

Absolutely great just for flying around. Haven't dropped a single weapon with 2.7 yet. Regards Jens

Please see screenshot attached. - Open mission editor - place Russia ground unit - select armor - select and compare subcategory "all" and "APC and IFV" result: IFV BRDM-2 is not listed in sub category "APC and IFV". It only can be found in all, so without sub category filter. expected: IFV BRDM-2 should be listed in sub category "APC and IFV" DCS: DCS/2.7.0.4625 (x86_64; Windows NT 10.0.19042) DCS: DCS revision: 184618 Thanks Jens

Only had a quick look but thanks for the update. Large list of changes and the clouds don't seem to impact my fps performance. Being almost exclusively on stable version over the last year, I may use open beta now quite frequently just for sightseeing and buzzing through the cloud layers searching for holes in it.

Making an overhead approach but keep in mind, that the airfield is a couple of hundred feet above sea level. And it has a sloped runway too.
