This is gold!!! Thank you for this:)

On the special options menu there is a drop down for default and a chinese cockpit if i'm not mistaken, but no english cockpit yet... I'm pretty sure we'll have an english cockpit soon:)

That could be a hot start meaning your throttle is open causing flame during startup. Try checing your throttle setting making sure it's at the lowest setting (roll it all the way up then down). As for the heat blur, the issue has been raised ever since the release of DCS 1.5, and has been reported :) Hopefully we get a fix soon:)

I believe this issue was raised to the mods. I think it came with hotfix 3. I also have that issue. The issue has been raised and reported :) Hopefully we get a fix soon :)

Thanks for the input guys :)

Hello Everyone! I just thought of a question, is it possible to use two different HOTAS systems for 1 computer? For example, Is it possible to use a Rhino X-55 Throttle and a TM Warthog Flight Stick together for DCS? I remember Wags has a setup like a TM Warthog flight stick and a different TM Throttle system, so I was wondering if the throttle and/or the stic can be different brands/systems and still use them together as one HOTAS system.

Thanks for the info guys, I tried those Elbrus missions again with the Hip and I've controlled my forward airspeed as well as monitoring engine RPM's (rotor and engine) and i've finally made it to the top and back. The only struggle now is the descent which i tend to overspeed (into RBS..) but i seem to getting it. Just practice and more practice... Now i'm really starting to understand what engine management really is for high altitude heli flights :)

I've been using an X-55 for about a year now, and I am very lucky to have no issues at all (no ghost button presses, mysterious joystick movements in game, etc.) All the buttons work fine, even the mouse nipple (which I have programmed as the mic switch). It's still very sharp from the time I bought it so i'm very happy with it. I chose it over the Warthog because of cost. Bottom line is, I am very happy with the rhino even with the A-10C module :)

Thank you for the tips guys, I have all the de-icing and stuff on so I guess i'll have to manage my RPM's closely. :)

Hey everyone, I've been playing around some missions involving the elbrus rescue (Maximum extreme and Elbrus rescue version with Mi-8 instead of Huey) and I've encountered some issues in flight. As i try to climb to the top of elbrus (or climbing around the Caucasus), I get these generator failure warnings and my generator/s shuts down, so does autopilot and some other electrical systems which affect my flight. I've tried reading through some Mi8 data and have not really come up on anything pertaining to high altitude flight. I would assume the Mi8 would have an easier time climbing to the top of elbrus versus the huey (which seems easier to climb given i don't get these generator failures). Is it something to do with the rotor RPMS? I know the huey needs some decreasing of collective to maintain proper RPM due to the thinner air, but i'm not sure... Anybody got some tips? I would be forever grateful :) Really love the Hip :)

I actually had a gtx960 before upgrading to a gtx980 (for various reasons) but on DCS 1.5 in ran pretty well at 1920x1080 resolutions with high settings (DOF off). If i remember correctly i was averaging about 50ish frames. maybe 40fps was the lowest. IMO if you're on a budget, a really tight one, the GTX960 does the trick :)

I too would love to see a flyable Mig-25 in DCS. There's a special place in my heart for the Foxbat :)

This is so cool!!!! Well, this with the F-14, looks like people will be doing some Top Gun dogfights with F-5's er Mig-28's :megalol:

Asus STRIX GTX980 :thumbup:

I spend alot of time on the helos, Ka-50, Huey and MI-8. I seem to have fallen in love with helicopters. Although i have alot of the airplane modules too :lol:

Hey Guys, I'm new to the forums, though I have been playing DCS in single player for more than a year... Recently I have started playing multiplayer (yes, i have been missing alot haha) and i was wondering if there are any other DCS players from the Philippines here? Also, any local hosted servers? Hope to see you guys in the virtual skies! Peace!

I had no civilian traffic upon the installation of 1.5, and even after the hotfix. Happy it's addressed :) Oh well, i guess it's all quiet on the western front... hehehhe :megalol:

Air Warrior 2! That game was awesome!

Yep can confirm this too, and glad it's reported :) There is Heat Blur for AI Choppers, but the all flyable ones do not have (when playing as a player) but same models have heat blur when AI Controlled.

Hello DCS community! Figgy here from the Philippines! Don't really know anybody else from the Philippines in this community hahah, but I'm glad to be here! Anyways, I've been playing DCS single player for about a year and just recently started multiplayer. I enjoy it alot! Hope to see you guys around! Peace!

Hello everyone! I have this issue, so i updated 1.5 (which include the new binaries for the mig-21) and it loads fine into the game, but whenever i press the engine start button on the mig-21 from a cold start, the game just crashes... Anyone have this issue?
