All four present in the Mi8, TrackIR Gunner missing for the Huey.

It seems like you can select your desired resolution in the VPC config tool now. Not sure when this was added. The raw sensor value read is ~12 bit though. I'm showing ~5000 between max/min on each axis so presumably the full sensor resolution is extremely high to reach such high values in only a 30 degree segment.

Given the title update we can draw some conclusions. A-10 pilots all have giraffe like mutations and deformed spines. This does not seem to be the case. (Observe picture) A more resonable conclusion then would be that with your head in the correct position you cannot see the whole HUD in the real aircraft.

No wonder I couldn't find it here, it was a comment by CptSmiley on reddit. ~6 months ago.

IIRC this is due to a bug not allowing them to adjust the elevation of gunpods. It was reported some time not long after release.

IIRC the hostile designation is done manually by the pilot once you've confirmed that it is indeed hostile.

You'd probably have to take it up with Boeing not ED. Diamond means hostile not unknown though.

To avoid confusion and misunderstandings, this is what the falling leaf looks like. The recovery method is to release the controls and hope for the best or eject when you reach the minimum safe altitude. NATOPS claims that the falling leaf has not been encountered during extensive testing since the software update, which I believe is present in our aircraft? If it's possible to do I'd love to know how though, seems fun.

Going to need a video of that. Haven't seen anyone manage to get into the falling leaf yet.

A by default turns nosewheel steering off, S turns it on. Unless you've rebound them then it's working as it should.

It seems to be missing from the joystick input file. You could paste this into the DCS World\Mods\aircraft\SA342\Input\joystick\default.lua file. Alternatively replace the whole default.lua with the attached one. You'll have to do this every time you patch or repair your game until it's added by Polychop. And make sure to back up your original file first. {down = device_commands.Button_7, cockpit_device_id = devices.HEAD_WRAPPER, value_down = 0.0, name = _('SA342 Set Gunner Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, SA342_default_joystick.rar

Not sure why you quoted me but I agree(english second language?), some seem to jump straight to insults which is never acceptable and not conducive to any progress.

The argument was that battery drain doesn't matter because you can't fail the generators in most modules. This isn't a very good argument because you can in fact do that in most modules. As for which also include battery drain, I know from experience that all WW2 aircraft do along with the F86, MiG15, Mi8, UH1 and AJS 37. In the end it's just different developers having different modeling standards. Some simulate the bare minimum and some go into ridiculous almost worrying detail.

I'm not sure your math checks out. Generator failure is modeled in: Ka50 Mi8 UH-1 A-10C AJS 37 Bf 109 F-5E F-86F F-18C FW 190 L-39C/ZA M-2000C MiG 15 MiG 21 P-51D Spitfire

dimitriovs trolling is one of the defining features of this forum section, it just wouldn't be the same without him. Do the real batteries last longer than the fuel in flight with a generator failure? If they do then I'd agree that it's not a very useful feature.

It should be pretty snug yeah, I have to push my connector very firmly for it to seat properly in the T50 base. It's also quite reluctant to disconnect, no chance of it simply falling out.

If the buttons are flashing on/off then the connector isn't seated properly. The shrink wrap might be extending slightly too low and preventing you from pushing it all the way in.

It's the same switch as the Harrier, the whole F15 grip is very different being closer to a development of the B8 style instead of a "new" design like the F18/AV8B.

The real switch has five positions. Forward: Sparrow Down: Sidewinder Aft: Gun Right: AMRAAM Left: not used

The earliest version to support Viggen is 1.5.6.1938

Gotcha, always appreciate your input.

This is for the Mi8 right? My comment is only really relevant for the Ka50. Finally found this video again after a few years of looking, there's some great cyclic action(and now I really want a Ka50 grip).

I'm 99% certain that it's a bug, idle RPM should never be below 55% at any temperature. In fact the fuel control seems to act in reverse by reducing the RPM instead of increasing it. Here's a ground idle chart showing the allowed RPM. And allowed values for a MIL run-up.

The F18 has ~2.5inches forward and ~5 back movement, the T50 base with a 200mm extension gives you about 5 inches of deflection. Keep in mind that 200mm is more than the recommended maximum though.
