Hi Flappie, Love what you've done so far. Just wondering if you plan to add more zoom levels to the WMS map? For us rotor-heads it would be very nice to get more low level details. But I also know high zoom levels require a lot of storage space for the tiles.

I don't know anything about descent rate limitations, but if you activate the automatic unhook function the load can manage rather high descent speeds (basically slam it down), or at least it did in earlier versions.

Happy to hear that!

For what I know, it's unfortunately not possible to transfer modules between Steam and stand-alone. Ones upon a time it was, but not anymore. I hope for your sake I'm wrong.

Sorry, can't help further.

I checked and the tab I referred to is the Misc. tab. Make sure FFB is enabled there. Also, under Controls tab, Axis Assign, check the FF Tune. Play with the Swap Axis and Invert. Other than that I have no idea. Does the FFB work for other modules?

The "without" refers both to "springs" and "FFB". You should have the "default" option and the FFB enabled "in-that-other-tab".

Sounds like the same issue

Is it similar to this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=271271 Check your antivirus

The minigun version was added after the main release as a free bonus. An AI gunner was never planned due to the added complexity, not feasible as free.

I believe he did that, judging by the first post.

Well that is a mystery... Good you got it sorted, happy to help.

As he said, you set them. There are two dials below the altimeter, to the left and to the right, one for the high limit and one for the low limit. The one for the low limit also turn the radar NO. A suggestion is to actually read the manual. Quite a lot of good stuff in it. If not reading it entirely, you can use it as a reference for these kind of things.

Check your antivirus software, might detected a fals positive on that file and put it in quarantine, or simply just removed it.

I was pretty sure it was the map itself that moved vertically, bu I might be wrong. But horizontally we are saying the same, he uses "tape" while I use "ruler", same same but different. This is what I said, pilot replacing it manually. He might not need to land to do it though.

Correct. You then have to land and change the map ;-) Most likely they have a rather small scale map covering the entire area the helicopter is supposed to be operating in during the mission. I really don't know much about it, now you know exactly all I know. But All-knowing Google knows more...

Yes, but in a typical USSR (but quite ingenious) kind of way. The map is a real paper map. The green frame in the picture is basikaly a kind of "cardboard television" kids play with (but in metal). The map is rolled up on two rollers, one upper, one lower. In front of the map there is a transparent ruler with a cross on it and possibly some kind of small "pen". Your position is showed by rolling the paper map up or down, and moving the transparent ruler left and right. Below the cross are the aircraft. I believe there is a "pen" making a track line, but I'm not sure. It uses some of the aircraft's pre-GNSS navigation systems to control the motions of the "moving map" (which it really is, a moving paper map).

What radar range do you have? There are known issues with the higher ranges (120km, maybe 60km), but not for lower.

Thanks IronMike, My personal thought is that having recurring free time with modules, something in line with first weekend each month. In a bigger picture, from ED's point of view, first weekend each month every player could have access to all modules but only chose two or three to try each occasion. After trying two or three, they would have to wait until next month to try anything else. This way everyone knows there will be opportunities to try before buy within reasonable time intervals (might be important for flight sim newcomers), we can compare modules in case we can only buy one and we will be forced to some extent to choose more carefully and hopefully more though thru (i.e. what we are serious about eventually buying) due to the limit. This is of course more directed to ED, but if you as a third party could arrange something like this, it would be a start. And again, if I got the possibility to try, I would happily pay full price.

A very good point is brought up here and should really been raised to ED. The possibility (or even need) to try before buy. I have tried a few modules and can now confidently conclude that some of them will never enter my (old and deprecated) system again, either because I really didn't like it or it could not run smoothly. Others that I previously never considered buying are now plausible objects for reducing my economical status. If you ask me, I would much rather buy a module full price if I had the chance to evaluate it first, than paying half the price at one of the regular sales runs without knowing if I would like it or if I even could run it ("Buying a pig in a poke")! As it is now I always wait until the next sale. Hopefully ED will find these free trial runs good for business and change the sales runs to free trial runs. Skickat från min F5121 via Tapatalk

My two cents. Even though I'm not very proficient in the Gazelle, the gauges in general feels scripted, following a few set behaviors and not really depicts the (simulated) reality. Not just the VVI, I have noticed this especially during start-up. I can't really say they behave incorrectly, but compared to both other DCS aircrafts and real world gauges of all kinds, depicting measurements of all kinds of physical entities, the FEEL is somewhat...off. Nothing I can prove, but since you mentioned the VVI it seems I'm not entirely alone. With this said, it's nothing I put much emphasis on. The Gazelle is a neat little thing to play around with and have some fun. Skickat från min F5121 via Tapatalk

With the risk of being even more wrong than I have already been in this thread (sorry), the Autopilot Adjustment isn't a cheat per se. The autopilot channels need periodic adjustments, done by the flight engineer/mechanic or whatever the Russians call him, the guy in the middle. In DCS you can opt for doing it yourself, or turn the Autopilot Adjustment ON. I haven't tested it myself, but from my understanding whenever the AP needs adjustment, a call out from the engineer is heard and the adjustments start. Then you need to be ready and adjust the flight controls accordingly (cyclic and collective) to keep your desired attitude. When the engineer is done with the adjustment, you can let go of the controls again. Regarding the overall usage of the AP I suggest a read up in the manual. Skickat från min F5121 via Tapatalk

Ah, yes you are correct, my mistake.

Not really, but close enough. The throttles are the red ones above your head, as you already confirmed. I think the manual might give you a system description what the corrector really is. Otherwise there are some really good documents about different systems on the Mi-8 written by a real life Mi-8 mechanic (AlfaOneSix I believe is his nick) somewhere on this forum that certainly can explain it. Unfortunately I can't explain it.
