Thanks for your help with this. It never occurred to me that night would be an issue, I just assumed that they'd automatically see the target. I wish we had decent documentation from ED so we'd know all the little intricacies like this. And yeah, easy comms for the Harrier unfortunately. Hopefully they'll sort the radios out sometime soon.

Hi guys, Can somebody please take a look at the attached mission and tell me why my JTAC isn't working? He's supposed to lase targets for my GBU's but he isn't. He has line of sight to the target, and he's within range so I can't see why he isn't marking the targets for me. When I contact him, he reads out the nine line but calls 'No mark' every time. Am I doing something wrong or is this another one of the ME features that's currently broke in DCS? Harrier_Naval_Strike.miz

I tested it at several different speeds, I just can't seem to replicate the same roll rate.

I've been watching a video of a RAF GR.7 display. One thing I've noticed is how different the roll rate seems to be between our version and the real thing. If you watch the video, you'll notice when he's performing the rolls just how fast they are. I'm unable to replicate the same speed in the sim. Even with an empty jet and reduced fuel, you still won't get the same rate even with maximum stick deflection. I know it's early access and everything is WIP, just wondered if you guys were aware of this? Sorry I can't give any actual quantifiable data, but if you watch the video then try it yourself you'll see what I mean.

CCRP is still, work in progress as far as I'm aware.

I think it'll be fun. I'm planning on buying it. I enjoy flying flight simulators for the *flight*. The combat is just the icing on the cake. And the simple fact is, no other simulator models flight quite as realistically as DCS, and certainly not with the same graphical quality and performance. I've thought for a long time that there's scope within DCS for civilian modules if they had some form of interesting mechanics (helimed, search and rescue, police helicopter etc). This isn't just a Cessna 172, it's a high performance aerobatics aircraft. So it'll offer an interesting experience to those willing to learn it.

Hopefully this will get changed eventually. As of right now the Tarawa is very WIP so I think we need to just wait out and see what happens with it. I expect we'll see many improvements in the months to come.

Thanks for getting back to me Zeus, keep up the good work!

Hey, I've been reading through the manual on how to perform take offs correctly, and I think the current location of the pitch carets is incorrect. First of all, the relevant paragraph from the manual. This is on page 7-36 of the A1-AV8BB-NFM-000-2008 It says there that a setting of 14 for the pitch carets should put them at 6 degrees over the horizon bars. Presumably this means that the neutral or 0 setting for the carets would put them at 8 degrees below the horizon bars. In DCS, the pitch carets appear to be at 14 degrees above the horizon bars. Which results in a rather steep attitude on take off. If you , you can see the carets are at 6 degrees. I understand that the ability to change it hasn't been implemented yet but it'd be helpful if the carets were set in the correct location for the time being. It looks like maybe the neutral position for them is incorrect, which is resulting in the discrepancy?

To any of the RAZBAM guys, are you planning to add ramp start locations on the actual ramp behind the island eventually? Rather than on the 'runway'. The runway location is fine for hot starts, but it would be cool to have to taxi around a bit using the high gain NWS mode.

I only managed to find it recently, when I looked a few months back it wasn't available anywhere. Well, not that I could find anyway.

Bit of a tough one this Zeus. I can't pinpoint exactly what's causing the issue. I started the 'Free Flight' mission 3 times in a row. The first time the fps was below 30 but after about 30 seconds it climbed back to 60. The second time it started at 60 and stayed there. The third time it stayed at about 30 and didn't budge. If I choose the 'Cold Start' mission I get sub 30fps and it doesn't go up until I take off. And even then it'll still randomly drop. It's definitely something in the Harrier Cockpit though because in external view I get solid 60fps. Not sure what it is though because it's occurring both in the air and on the ground cold and dark, so it's not an active system. What's interesting is that the NAVFLIR doesn't seem to have any effect at all on my fps. My specs are; i5 4690k Nvidia 1070 24Gb RAM DCS graphics options are; All textures set to very high. Shadows set to low and terrain shadows to flat only. Visibility range medium. Water low. Civ traffic off. HDR on. DoF off. AA 4x Antistropic filtering 16x I have no mods running, and in every other aircraft I generally get around 60fps in 1.5

Great work guys. Exactly the level of quality I've come to expect from you all. I'm so excited to fly her.

It's the additional armour plating for the cockpit. If you place an Mi-8 in the mission editor, you have the option to remove or add the armour plating. It's in the same place as the options to enable/disable the IR filters and the clamshell doors.

They tested it in the UK, China and Russia? That's got to be a typo surely, no planned China maps that we're aware of. Anyway, looking good. Can't wait to give her a go,

Ok, I managed to resolve this issue by forcing the download outside of the module manager. Here's what you do; Go into your DCS World install folder, then go into the 'Bin' folder. Open up a command prompt here by typing 'cmd' (no quotation marks) in the address bar at the top of the screen and pressing enter. Once the command prompt is open, type the following command; dcs_updater.exe install NS430 Make sure you type NS430 in upper case, or it won't work. This will force the updater to download the module. From here you can just activate and run it as normal. Anyone who's having issues, give this a shot and it should resolve your problem.

Hi Guys, I bought this module earlier today, and I've updated my DCS to the latest OpenBeta. But the module isn't appearing for download in the module manager. I'm not sure if there's anything I need to do? I have the Mi-8 Module downloaded and activated. The module is purchased and bound to my account, but it isn't showing in the manager. I'm a little stuck. Any ideas?

Hi guys, Anybody who's already bought this, would you mind posting the manual? I'd like to have a look at the capabilities before I purchase it. I don't think ED would have any problems with posting the manual here. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

You can make a somewhat plausible scenario involving Red Flag. Swedish Grippens have been at serval red flags now. You could always make theoretical scenario where they sent some AJS-37's over in the 90's. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

This is looking great! Keep up the good work guys, can't wait till she's out.

Care to translate for us? [emoji14] I'm still linguistically challenged when it comes to Swedish I'm afraid :( Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Excellent work guys, keep it up! When the RAZBAM Harrier comes out these'll be perfect (it's the yank one unfortunately, but it's close enough to the GR.7 that we can just pretend :P )

A quick question for the Devs regarding the FM. In other helo's in DCS (apart from the Ka-50) when you increase or decrease the collective, you have to compensate with the pedals because you're increasing or decreasing the torque the main rotors are producing. This is expected behaviour for helo's and its just part of the many quirks of helicopter aerodynamics. In the Gazelle, we don't have to do that. You can snap the collective up and down without it having any torque effects. Your helo just climbs and descends without you ever having to touch the pedals. Is this expected behaviour for the Gazelle? I'm not sure if it's down to a bug with the flight model or if the real Gazelle has some sort of yaw trim that automatically compensates for collective inputs.

Hi Eddie. Resurrecting a dead thread here, but I figured there's no point starting a new one on the same topic. Do you know what sort of Helo operations take place during Red Flag, if at all? I'm writing a few scenarios for Helo operations on the NTTR map and I'd like to frame them in the context of a Red Flag exercise. Do they just perform simulated CSAR operations, or are their any air mobile/air assault elements to the exercise? Same question goes for anybody else who might know.
