Wags, Could you also post your Nvidia control panel settings for each of your machines?

After the last update on Friday, every time I get airborne in an F-18 the plane wants to very slowly roll left or right without joystick input. I set deadzone all the way up to 50 to see if it was a problem with my Thrustmaster stick but it the roll is still there. I tried using the Thrustmaster joystick calibration tool and nothing changed. It happens in single and multiplayer....Help...

If the engine temp is minus at startup the auto start will fail the right engine start. As soon as you see it fail then hit the right start switch immediately and it will continue...Last I observed it was based on a the temperature set in an MP mission......

Some night work in bad weather...

Never had any curves set. What I did notice is that less collective is needed to get airborne, which means less input in cyclic to hover. Kind of weird, need to relearn the damn thing now.

After the past 2 updates I noticed that I have to use less left/back stick to take off to hover. I reset control inputs after last update and it reverted to normal but after resetting since the most recent update it remains at less input. Anyone else having this prob?

I understand progress is painful but come on guys...Spent an hour after the last update having to read through posts on how to figure out the problem and redo all controller settings. This update the same issue again? In axis commands getting red boxes again for pitch and roll, so I have to delete profile, repair and do this all over again???? It would be nice if a warning could be added to the change log that this could happen. I update just to keep the latest but this could have waited so I dont have to spend half of my 2 free hours fixing what I already fixed before...

I opened up DCS just a few moments ago. Out of the blue, it asked me to log in, reverted screen res to 1024x768 and all settings were set to low. Updated recently and had issues with controllers but fixed and repaired several days ago. Just flew in DCS 2 days ago with no issue. Anyone else having this strange issue?

I could have sworn that after this latest update, the Huey goes a bit faster and has more power even with exhaust temps slightly below the max green. Tried online and offline and really seems like it... Just flew it again and noticed that when increasing speed in forward flight as you back off left pedal and are able to fly without the pedals, it doesnt yaw as much to the right and its a smoother transition. Just seems a bit more stable as well...

Seems to happen every so often on the 104th Phoenix server. Mostly on the more North East part of the map.

Flying on the 104th server tonight I was being attacked by a Mirage while flying Harrier. Pulled into a nice hover behind one of the tallest buildings on the map. Mirage spike on my nose, building on my nose, missile went through the center of the building and hit me in the nose... Buildings have always stopped missiles before...

I feel you! When I made this post I had absolutely no idea that it would come true!!! Everything I had hoped for in the Gazelle.... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=192391

Could have picked a taller door gunner so that his feet at least touch the skids... I cant wait to hover in hiding to blast a fighter with that thing!

If you are looking for just one plane, might I suggest the Harrier. Its got decent speed and payload with a good mix of precision and unguided weapons. You get naval or land ops. No air to air radar but its no slouch in a dogfight with heaters and viffing. With 2 tanks its got some pretty decent range at higher altitudes. The best part though is you cant just slam the throttle forward and yank the stick around too carelessly. Engine temp management, fuel management with no tanks and watching how many G you pull keeps you on your toes just a bit. Plus vertical landing is the business...

Mirtma, see your other post for response...

I have button mapped to close joystick but as of the latest update I cant open it after its closed...

It is a bug. If you cold start, you have no issues...Starting on runway gets me map view only as well. Funny thing is that some older missions that I havent opened in the ME and resaved still let me start on the runway. Anything new made with the ME maps me...

I have an EVGA 1080TI, my specs in sig...everything running damn near perfectly on high. I do however use EVGA XOC with default overclock settings. Set up profile and running a pretty high curve so that the 3 fans on the card never go past 50deg C during DCS. It gets pretty noisy, especially as the 2 fans from my computer start spooling up along with the gpu fans. Latest Nvidia drivers, Win10 latest updates and DCS latest updates, no issues. Check your task manager to see what else might be going on?

After the second to last update, not this most recent but the one released last week...when banking in the Harrier, the plane now has a tendency to slowly roll back in the opposite direction of bank. So a 45 degree left bank now needs the slightest left stick input to maintain bank angle...Wasnt like that before, dont know if its supposed to be like that...

Thanks for the responses guys, guess thats the way its supposed to be...

I noticed that whenever aileron input is applied, the rudder is also applied in the direction of the roll even though I am not applying rudder with pedals. This seems to always give a bit of yaw when rolling somewhat to very aggressively. I checked to see if I had rudder binding to roll commands but it was not. I havent seen any video clips of the AV-8B doing this but there is a video from 2000 showing a GR7 making very crisp rolls and levels... Any thoughts?

Dont forget that SA-15s will shoot your Sidearms down...

Nothing gets added by default. If you are flying MP then normally check briefing for tanker freq. If you are flying offline in a mission you created then in the mission editor you have to set the second radio to tanker freq. It is backwards in the mission editor...

Did a rapid onset 10g pull in the Harrier last night. The only breathing I heard was my own....

Adjusting the engine power to 100% in NTTR doesnt really seem to help. Even with 40% fuel and 2 M60 gunners the helo is at max green barely after you lift off. I even tried changing the temperature in a mission to 50deg F. If you hover any higher than about 25ft for any length of time the engine will surely catch fire and quit... A little sad to have an aircraft that can barely lift off in NTTR without redlining. I dont think its completely accurate. My father spent alot of time flying in the back of UH-1H models during the Vietnam war. He said his pilots told him that you couldnt overload one of those helicopters with troops, even if you stuffed as many as would physically fit in the cabin...
