Hi, Just got my CV1 today. Apart from feeling a bit queezy, it is so immersive it is ridiculous! The one problem I have is that whenever I put the mouse cursor over a switch in the cockpit, I get huge big labels coming up telling me what the switches do (the size of a popup box). I have it set to mouse mode, because I can adjust knobs, flick switches more easily than aiming with just my head! Does anyone know how to disable the labels (tool tips)? Thanks Neil

I would also love to get further in this campaign. I can finish the first mission without too many problems, but when I turn up at the airfield to knock out the AAs in the second mission, I always fail. I tried about 10 times before giving up. Just to hard for me, pity, because the whole atmosphere of the campaign is excellent. Not criticising, but I am obviously not sufficiently skilled to finish it :-), Maybe you could make a slightly (not much) easier campaign for us amateur pilots

Rich at Komodo was also working on a proper force trim system using magnets. I am waiting with baited breath...............

Same bug here! Tried it about 5 times and gave up. I've advanced it one now in the logbook. From what I remember last time I played this campaign, there are a couple of missions later on which also are impossible to finish.

Any news on an update for this most fantastic mission? I have spent hours flying it, and since 1.5 it is no more. At times like this I wish I was a bit more intelligent, and could do it myself ;-)

I still can't find the stinger. I followed the road, and there was a loan infantry man on the hill to the left of it. I still can't see any smoke. After a short while I got the message about the infantry on the road, and flew over to destroy them all. I then get the mission has ended, return to airfield, orange smoke message before I have even seen a Mi-8 :-(

Fantastic Mission! I can only get as far as dropping off the second troops at the red smoke. I then get told to pick up a stinger team West of my position (and to look for the smoke). There is a stinger not far West, but there is no smoke. Even if I request the smoke with the F7 menu, there is none. I fly around for a bit looking for the smoke, and then get the message about troops moving in from the East!

No curves and Komodo sim products works for me (although we need some Force Trim to make it perfect Rich ;) )

I thought that the with engine governor, you left the throttle at max anyway (and the governor took care of the rest)

I wouldn't want to go pumping the collective 4 times a second :) I have never thought about the fact that to replicate such reckless behaviour would necessitate a huge number of calculations in the FM. I was just wanting to get rid of the last "Flying Aid", as the damping must make it easier to fly. Thanks for the answer!

I think I have posted this before a while ago. Why are the axis all damped? EG. If you pull the collective up quickly, you will notice that the collective shown in the cockpit moves up slowly. At first I thought that this was only a problem with the representation of the control position in the cockpit, but then I noticed that the blade pitch changes just as slowly. Now, I know that this probably makes it a bit easier to fly, but shouldn't there be a setting possible, where what you input via your control is transmitted in real time to the flight model?

Me too! Used to be very easy to read, now it is almost impossible (running at 2560 x 1440)

I just tried to save in the 1.5 editor, and still no luck. No troops showing up, no cargo, nothing. My favorite mission :(

Has anyone noticed that since the update to 1.5, the green LED readout on the Radio Altimeter has become very hard to read, especially during daylight hours. I wonder if there is a way to fix this and make it look like 1.2.6 again.

Has anyone got this working with 1.5. I don't have any infantry or cargo or cars to chase. The whole of DCS world seems empty (maybe this has to do with the fact that there is no civilian AI either). Hope that someone (cleverer than me) gets this working again soon

I have received all my Komodo gear (Huey Collective, Cyclic and pedals). Quality is fantastic, and it all works perfectly with DCS. Also, and more importantly, Rich's customer service is second to none. Really. He responds to questions (even stupid user error ones) at once, and is incredibly helpful. If only the big companies were this good!

If I remove and re-install, which files do I need to save to keep my keyboard and joystick settings and my campaign status? Thanks Neil

How do I know which file is being downloaded? Steam just seems to do it automatically, and doesn't give any details :(

Steam update problem When I went into Steam this morning, it started updating DCS. However, after downloading, installing and verifying, it says that a file is corrupt, and starts the whole process again. I have stopped the update, and done a check of local files, and it said one was going to be re-acquired, at which point it went back into the routine above. I can now not play DCS, as when I try to launch it, it starts downloading the update, and on verification it says a file is corrupt, and starts the whole process again. Has anyone had similar?

I have been on holiday, so have only just got around to flying your latest mission. I managed to complete it on my second attempt. Talk about difficult. I pride myself on Instrument Flying, but instrument flying without instruments is very difficult :) I lost my ASI after about 1 minute (even with pitot heat on). I don't think I ever had my altimeter, and my VSI died after about 5 minutes. By the time I got to the cloud I only had my Direction Indicator and my Radio Altimeter. When I got struck by lightning I didn't notice, because I had already lost everything ;) My VSI came back just before i got to the NDB, and I managed to land on the runway. Very, very, very difficult mission. thanks again for all your hard work

I have noticed that the red square which shows the input movements shows the same lag as the animations in the cockpit. There is a very damped lag here. The question is, how does one work out whether the flight model has the same lag? It would be very annoying, like a massive artificial curve on the axis.

Just a quick question, I have noticed that when I move my collective and cyclic (hardware) the collective and cyclic shown on the screen have a noticeable lag to them. Is the delay in the on screen representation, or does it actually delay the flying? Thanks Neil

Another brilliant mission complete! Landing at 18,000ft is great fun! Thanks for this great mission, Keep going!!!!!!!

I downloaded and played it! What can I say, another great mission. Lots of surprises, and some high level flying which has its own problems (I lost the VSI and the Airspeed indicator started showing some really strange speeds - it went up to 140kts, but the outside view was still showing 88kts). It must be a bug in how DCS implements anti icing, as I had the pitot heat on the whole time. Hovering at altitude is always tricky, but I managed to complete it (and finish with a nice cup of tea :) ) Thanks for all your hard work, you could make a whole campaign. Great missions!!!!!!
