Just want to say thanks! :thumbup:

A little while ago I was on the iRacing forum and suggested they should look to implement a feature similar to DCS Worlds 'Hear like helmet'. It works brilliantly and no simulator should be without it. Well, we can all learn from one another and so I'd like to suggest ED take a look at the in-game graphics menu for iRacing. As you hover over each item, a clear explanation of what that menu item does is given along with relative performance impact. Just a thought that occurred to me when I was trying to decide which option to select for 'terrain shadows'. I had no idea what the difference was and had to alt-tab to chrome to educate myself.

Fixed yet?

It works, but there's some lag which I might be able to reduce by decreasing the resolution. Is it possible to run the Shkval display at a lower resolution to the main view window?

Just wondering if anyone has tried Spacedesk app for this yet?

I like your dream. Vietnam era really was the sweet spot for military aviation. Not too dated and done-to-death WWII, not too modern that everything is done with electronics at BVR.

Cockpit audio is quieter after switching back from the external view.

Thanks. I was already aware of CTLD but would be nice if we didn't have to use a work around.

I've owned both modules from near enough release date. Since owning the Mi-8, I rarely choose to fly the Ka-50. Hard to say why, but I get more a sense of satisfaction with the Hip. I like the big weighty feel of it. If you want to blow things up with efficiency and precision, and less effort actually flying, you need the Ka-50. With the Ka-50s autopilot system, you can fly it with just a dual analogue gamepad; it's that good. With the Mi-8, I found I needed rudder pedals. Also worth mentioning, navigation is much easier with the Ka-50 and it's ABRIS moving map system.

Tried numerous times using the mission editor. Mi-8 - Embark troops from Beslan.miz

The FARP still doesn't work in my mission even with the units added as static object. I can only assume it's because of other nearby friendly or enemy units.

Insurgent infantry glide along the floor in the kneeling position.

Thanks guys. I tried adding all FARP vehicles to the same group and still nothing. I didn't have time to do much more testing but now I'm wondering if the vehicles have to be added to the group in a specific order. Not sure what else it might be. Will do some more testing by removing some of the unneeded structures and enemy. Maybe the enemy start too close.

There you go Ka-50 - Zombies.miz

I have SKP-11, FARP CP and UAZ-469 and FARP tent but still can't get repaired. Rotors are stopped and cockpit door is open. Aircraft is damaged. There's no reply from ground control.

I've placed a FARP for Russian forces. But I can't seem to get repairs working with rotor stopped and door open. I just need repairs and re-arming, thanks. I only found threads several years old when searching. UPDATE: Answer: See post #9 Additionally, there must be no enemy units within approx. 2km of your FARP.

I have 2 AH-1W escorting a UH-1H using 'follow' command. I've set the spacing so they're slightly ahead of the UH-1H. They're ROE weapons free, but not engaging an enemy BTR-80 and infantry I placed on the route. All three helicopters evade only. Is this normal. Any advice on having them attack any enemies they encounter? AH-1W are set to escort task.

I've noticed you get sun reflection off the sea, even when overcast with low cloud. Not just at sunrise (which might be expected), but hours after sunrise. Is this something that will be remedied with the updated Caucasus map?

Same problem here. Can't trim. I've never known of the right-alt J trick. Previously, I just had to check the Force Feedback box (under Misc.) was unticked. Now it's unticked, but it's behaving as though it's ticked.

I made a mission recently focusing on Alagir (SSW of Beslan). I noticed something weird going on with the ground textures there at the southern end of the town, like they were floating a few metres above the ground. Might be worth a look.

Are skins automatically downloaded when connecting to a server with custom ones? Or must all players have the skin locally for it to work?

Correct

I want to go to Las Vegas!

Good suggestions with the explosion. I was using a parked aircraft with a couple of white smoke markers. I tried spawning an aircraft with no fuel but the crew eject. It's one of the cool little things I love about IL-2 series. The AI pilots will often try to put a damaged aircraft down safely in a field. Thanks again for the tips.

Is it possible to add aircraft wreckage to the map? I want to create a search and rescue mission where a pilot has crash landed. Do I need to download custom object files? Ok, I found I can use the static object to place aircraft. If I set to 'Dead', there's very little visible wreckage. If I untick Dead, the aircraft is like new. This will do. Although, somewhere in between these two states would've been ideal.
