I too recently bought the Mi-8 and it is by far my favourite module. Landing is a challenge compared to the Huey and I find myself doing more vertical takeoffs and landings than with the UH-1H. I am slowly working through the campaign which is excellent but at some point will need to figure out how to use the autopilot. Loving the Doppler system though. if anyone wants to fly in a group of Mi-8s online then drop me a PM.

Tackle, as far as I can remember, Razbam Sims are nearing completion of an A-7 but we won't see a release until after the mirage and DCS 2. The A17'will be an excellent addition to future carrier ops. Jacks

Are there any European based rotary wing squadrons flying the Huey or Mi-8? Jacks

This looks challenging! Count me in! Preferably in a Huey but i am competent in the Mi-8 and so can fly one if you are short of Hip pilots. I am happy to fly either slicks or gunships, again experienced with both. Thanks again for organising this chuck. Jacks

The screenshots look normal to me.

Thanks for the answers, I will keep an eye out in the future. Jacks

On a couple of occasions I have had to apply full collective at low speed such as at high altitude and I have noticed a few of my instuments turning off and both generator warning lights come on. I can only assume that the low rotor rpm has led to low engine rpm and that under a certain rom, the generators no longer produce enough voltage. Is this the case? Jacks

When using the gyro sight in the p-51 with the correct wingspan and range, I am right in thinking that I still need to give the target some 'lead' when going for a deflection shot. Jacks

As much as I would love to see a B-25 or a Mossie, I think the first bomber should be a german one to go some way to rebalancing the allied-axis divide. Soon we will have 5 allied fighters against 2 axis fighters with no future planned axis aircraft. In my opinion DCS 1944 will grow ED's customer base exponentially, just look at how many people play IL-2. Plus if they can model a large multi crew bomber with a large enough map for it to used correctly (not a 15 min flight to the target) then ED will offer players an experience not currently available in any other sim. Add to that other theatres such as the pacific and carrier based aircraft and DCS will probably be the most comprehensive combat simulator yet. I think develop of this era should be a priority as soon as DCS 2 is released as it will generate a greater income and therefore allow ED to increase their development output across all elements and eras of DCS. Just my two pence's worth. Jacks

I can watch a relay using the track but can't seem to rewind or fast forward only speed up and slow down. If there a way to fast forward, rewind or select a time to watch?

I would like a night mission as long as there is a discernible horizon when fly on water either with or without nvgs. If not there will be a lot of crashes!

Brilliant thanks. It looks like I will have to go with a US theme. It would be great to see some british vehs in the future.

Sorry bit of a term here the UK. When a feature or or training element is put into an exercise it is described as a serial. For example, during the last mission the final serial was an airfield assault. Poor choice of language on my part :doh: Jacks

I would like to create a number of Afghanistan scenario missions (mainly CAS, medevac and targeting and striking). In order to achieve this I am searching for some AI or player controlled Protected Mobilty vehicles such as mastiff, ridgeback, wolfhound, husky, jackal, buffalo, MRAP etc. I am also looking for an insurgent on a motorcycle model. Does anyone know if any such models exist as I cannot find them in the user files. Jacks

Good job I have been practicing my ship landing technique. Any SAR serials planned?

You assign a key as normal and then in the cockpit the furthest panel back on the right of the centre console is the countermeasure panel. First using the radial buttons, select how many flares and how much chaff you want dispensed each time you press the CM button (I go for 5 of each). The you need to move the switch on the right of the panel from safe to arm. Then when you press the assigned key, it will fire flares and chaff. Hope that helps. Jacks

Good to hear as I will being buying one shortly. Unfortunately the 980 is outside my budget. It would be great if a future dcs makes the move to DirectX 12 as it double the available VRAM when using SLI.

That video look awesome. The gazelle is definitely the module I am looking forward to the most this year. I hope they can make it multicrew as well! Jacks

I have noticed that multiplayer uses more VRAM than single player.

For those with 970's using 3.5Gb of VRAM are you getting stuttering as it sounds like all of your card's VRAM is being used up.

No I don't generally use the axis for anything apart from on the mi-8 where one lever is for collective and if you move down and then past the stop it operates the wheel brakes. I am reluctant to use modifiers or switches. I am trying to get it so on the mig-21, SU-25T, A-10C and F-15, when one of the levers is move all the way down (so the button is pressed) the gear goes down and stays down. Then when the lever is moved up (so the button is released) the gear retracts. Jacks

Chuck, could be worth starting a new thread with the date in the title as many people probably don't look at this thread since the last event finished. Jacks

I am concerned that editing aircraft Luna files will mean that I will fail server integrity tests. Jacks

Doss the in game counted show VRAM usage, I thought it just showed RAM usage. I use MSI afterburner to monitor VRAM usage in game. Could be worth a try.

My 2Gb GTX 770 OC regularly runs out of VRAM and then stutters. I primarily play online. I am looking at upgrading to a GTX 970 for the extra 1.5Gb of VRAM. Jacks
