Don't forget Track IR. IMO this is a must have, along with the HOTAS...definite game changer as far as immersion goes. No more POV hat to slew around your views. I have a TM Warthog, and glad I went with it. The best HOTAS on the market, bar none. Before my TM purchse, was using the X-45 that I bought like 15-years ago or more...and it still works just fine. Good luck! DrDetroit

Here is an in-cockpit vid of the full startup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-OfmHbU-Xg Looks like we have the same switchology at least. EDIT: The guy with the camera does a great job getting it all into the frame. Good day! DrDetroit

Nope, restarting doesn't help.

Hi Guys, I haven't seen one car on the road in 1.5. I have the mission settings showing high density civi traffic, same with the option menu, but no joy. Anybody else experiencing this or am I just missing a new setting somewhere? Thanks and good day! DrDetroit

I noticed some flickering as well, running ultra shadows.

Looks great, runs very smooth...and flying when the sun is coming down over the water with the reflections, you'd think it is the real deal. Thanks ED! Great job - it would seem all expectations are met. Good day! DrDetroit

Yes, I noticed the report on a Steam page for the DCS beta. I had the "process can't be created" issue.

You have to use the DCS.exe located in your Steam folder - or the desktop shortcut. Should work with that procedure. The Steam "Play" button is pork for the time being. Good luck! DrDetroit

I'm getting 300kb...sometimes 500kb. I'm sure their servers are struggling with the loads at the moment.

Thanks man, much appreciated!

Hi Guys, Possible to import modules purchased via Steam or I have to purchase again via Module Manager? I have A10C and the Huey that aren't showing up in the Mod Manager. Sorry if asked already, too many pages to sort through right now. Thanks! DrDetroit

Never noticed that before either, that I can recall. I had seen a AI pilot with the same wheel damage last night, but he taxied like he had wheels/tires. Cool detail none the less. Good news: at least you still have your canopy intact! Good day, DrDetroit

I use to have that issue, until I unchecked the "sync controls" option (something to that effect). Doesn't happen any longer because now the controls are neutral until I move them. Good luck! DrDetroit

I can't get the fire suppressant to drop in the right spot either and no pointers at all, except the distance meter that pops up. Frustration heaven! It's so hard to get the Huey in the right spot to drop the fire retardant...no joy after a dozen attempts so far...and I have to do these drops 4 times I assume to complete the mission. I'll be at it for a year at this point...all good though, love the challenge! Good day, DrDetroit

I've been working on this mission for the last 3-days, and can't even keep up with the guy yet. I feel your frustration! DrDetroit

Complete Troop Transport Script (CTTS). It allows you to set troops for transport, so they get in and out of your chopper and your AIs chopper - also useful for setting spawn points for friendly and enemy AI, and setting dynamic pickup zone and drop zones. You could probably script a moderately dynamic campaign with this. Anyhow, it's a very awesome script, and I can now probably complete the Crazy Horse campaign, once I add the script to it...if that's possible w/out breaking it. I'm going to try! Currently you can't finish the first mission because the troop simply will not get in your chopper. Good day! DrDetroit

I thought the training missions were very well done. It did get me clued into startup and basic procedures. Sometime the triggers don't function, but if you do as you're told by the instructor, shouldn't be a problem. From there, I started watching a lot of tutorials to fine tune weapon procedures, radios, navigation, ect. I would put these lessons to use with a few simple missions I created so I can work on running in (3/9) and deploying the armament. It's a challenge to learn the systems, more so to learn how to employ them properly with great effect. Good luck! DrDetroit

Hi guys, I found this script and messed with the training mission...pretty cool!! I just don't understand how to get it into one of my missions. Do I set an advanced action to the infantry, like embark at a waypoint, then hit the pulldown to select "script", then select the CTTS as the script? If that is the case, is the script always active after that action or do I have to set another adv action to use the script so troops disembark? If that's not the way to activate the script in a self-made mission, please clarify. I've read through several of the pages in this thread and I don't see anything that explains how to install this script. Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance! DrDetroit EDIT: I think I figured it out...If anybody else has issues, I used this: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3977343/Possibly_stupid_question.__Scr

If you mean the door gunners are not engaging targets, you have to issue a command to engage; to do this, press LCntl+3 and LCntl+4 for each door gunner, they will start shooting...although not that well...but better than nothing. Good day! DrDetroit

Yes, you are correct. I meant DCS needs to fix that implementation, not BST...my bad. Although, looks like the AI was able to pickup my troops...I guess that is better than nothing. Good day! DrDetroit

I'm trying to figure that out myself. I'm not sure how to get troops in my Huey or the AI AC, let alone disembark. Thanks in advance! DrDetroit EDIT: I've setup a test and the troops will just not embark. So just read in a post that the troops will not indeed embark currently as BST has removed that feature due to it being buggy. This is what I have read regarding the first mission in Crazy Horse, which is unfortunate if true. I mean good grief, a Huey you can't pickup troops with??!! Love the sim, but when I read that I was stunned. I mean every pic you see of a Huey in the '60s, 70s and 80s, has troops in it, landing at a hot LZ. Hope they fix that asap. Oh well, on-ward and up-ward!

You can change HUD intensity with a rocker switch under the HUD. To see it you have to kind of raise your head to see the rocker switch labeled INT I believe. There is a setting for HUD color also, although I can't remember where I found it. Check the manual. Good luck! DrDetroit

I'm still trying to get past Hammerfall-3...that is a tough, but very cool mission. I've yet to be killed by the manpads, I keep hitting the mountains trying to pop in and out of the cloud base. Last night I was finally able to hit some targets w/out hitting the ground...or the ground coming up to hit me. Very cool mission and ambiance, makes flying it over and over fun. This is a great lesson on how to work the AC, sensors and weapons properly. Great job, can't wait to fly the rest. Good day, DrDetroit

Great tips guys, this will help a lot. I just picked up the DLC and absolutely love it! A nice addition to my AC hanger in DCS. I've thousands of hours in all iterations of F4 since '98, LOMAC and FC, DCS A10C, etc, but I can't hover very well yet in the Huey, and my takeoffs are abysmal, but I can get it off the ground in a very ugly manner and cruise around. Man, nothing like I remember Janes Longbow from years back, which is my last time in the pilots seat in a rotary AC. Anyhow, thanks again for the tips. I'm going to strap on the Huey and take her for a ride for a while tonight and get some stick time. Good day, DrDetroit
