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.

I agree. They're pretty much eye candy at the moment, they never actually defend the helicopter from threats. I know the Huey gunners are adjustable. How accurate are they?

Yeah I'm hoping one of the Heatblur guys let's us know what's made it in and what hasn't. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Anyone know if the pending changes have made it into the latest patch?

Hey Cobra (or any of the Heatblur guys), have any of the pending fixes managed to make their way into the 2.0 patch today?

Hey Zeus. Is the intention to map the MFD OSB buttons mappable? It'd be nice to actually get to use my Thrustmaster MFD's properly!

Excellent news RagnarDa

An update to the manual would really be ideal. We were supposed to be getting one a while back but I imagine it got pushed back due to more pressing issues like bugs with the actual aircraft etc.

This is absolutely great, many thanks!

From what I can tell there's been no updates. The bugs in 1.5 are still present in 2.0 I'm assuming Leatherneck will update the OP when there's more fixes coming.

Have any new fixes made their way into ED's patch today? Or is this just to bring 2.0 in line with 1.5?

Tack så mycket!

Hey, nice work with all the fixes! Regarding direct release mode. I think you might be misreading it, it doesn't mean that the flight leader somehow releases your bombs, or marks your targets for example. Essentially, you'd form up on the flight leader. In close formation. The flight leader would handle aiming the bombs and flying the ingress, you'd just stick to his wing. When he releases his bombs, you'd release your bombs at exactly the same time using direct release mode. Formation bombing basically. Not terribly accurate but useful for blanketing a wide area, if you had four Viggens releasing at the same time you could do a lot of damage. Would probably be used against large, sprawling targets like a troop concentration or a harbour for example. I'm not entirely sure it was used that often in the Viggen. It seems to be a holdover from the Lansen days when only one aircraft in the flight would be equipped with a radar. That guy would handle navigation and aiming, and the rest of the flight would stick to him and release when he says. Seeing as the Viggen had a much more complex navigation suite, and had access to precision weapons and aiming modes, formation bombing doesn't seem as effective as it once was. If anybody else knows more information feel free to correct me, but I think that's about right. Hope that helps!

Excellent, thank you for having a look. It didn't click that they were diving when they hit the range of the Moskva radar. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
