good info

ah, there's the info I was looking for, thanks. When setting up my missions in the ME I was confunsed by all the AI versions and what they brought to the sim. Was looking for visual differences, but now we know it's payload differences.

ah so DCS is indeed planning on upgrading the Huey graphics, good to know. But like you said, who knows when that'll actually happen.

gotcha, that's what I was wondering. There are 8 models in DCS, but only 2 flyable. So the other 6 AI-only are essentially the same.

thanks for the details, mate. good info. but also I was specifically looking for if there are any differences between all of these 8 versions within DCS. I know of the differences between the 2 flyable models, but, for example, you said "the F1M is the Spanish upgraded variant made with Thomson-CSF". But is this different than the other models in DCS? Does this model behave differently than, say, the F1CR in DCS?

that's great it seems perfect for you! no need to worry about this then. however for other folks it's very noticeable it's no longer up to 2023 levels of graphical fidelity, and deserves an overhaul in the looks department. This has recently been done with the Black Shark 3 as well as with the Gazelle. Also simply take a look at the Apache and you'll be amazed at what is possible with the modern generation of texture tools. Near life-like models are now possible. So if anyone has heard of any new of a possible update to our favorite helo it'd be great to hear. cheers!

got it to work! not sure what I did. i just quit DCS a couple times and reloaded then it started working. almost like it was using a cache of the cockpit. v strange. but all good now, thanks. quick q: does this work with the english cockpit mod?

hmm this didn't work for me. i placed the files in \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Mirage-F1\Liveries as well as SavedGames. loaded up DCS but cockpit is still black. is there something else I need to do?

I know there was a FM upgrade recently, but does anyone know if our ol Huey is up for a graphical upgrade anytime in the future? Several of the other models have been getting some love to bring them up to 2023 levels, so was wondering if the same could be said for our favorite helo? cheers

that would be fantastic

duh, thanks

Wondering what the difference between the EM and IR versions of the R530F in-sim? Thanks for pointing in the right direction

First thing I noticed when hopping in the Gazelle was how stuttery and un-smooth the rotor blade animations look. Anyone else notice this? Especially compared to the Apache, but really any other helo module. Most of them are smooth and realistic-looking wnd even if you slow down time it stays smooth with a nice motion blur. Wondering if this is still a work in progress? The animations look like it's stuck at 20fps while the rest of the sim is 60fps. Anyone else notice this as well?

hello fellow simmers. could someone possibly point me in the right direction to find an english cockpit mod for the updated cockpit? cheers mate

circling back to this all these years later. any update on FFB? even the F1 got it recently

came here searching for this as well. I'm following Chuck's guide and either he has the modes wrong or the Mig-19 has the modes wrong. Mode 1 is high altitude in the sim/ Has anyone gotten feedback from the devs on this? i'd like some clarification

just came back to DCS after almost a year away and first thing I noticed in the L-39 was this same bug . must be super low priority null

Hello! Is there a way in the mission editor order your wingman to stop starting their engines immediately upon mission load and either wait for me (their leader) to start mine or command them to start? Many times there are things we need to do before they jump the gun and begin to start up. Any idea?

In DCS there are 8 versions of the Mirage F1. Is there a document somewhere showing the difference between all 8 version specifically in DCS?

i mean, that's not true most of the time. you can definitely play this offline usually. what's happening is a special circumstance

there's a popup that says in order to play offline you need to have saved password and successful login, which seems contradictory

can we play offline? or it that buggered too?

easy now, mate. just messing with you. you must have missed the winky face . that's universal sign of being cheeky. have a great day!

that's a false statement. I'm not . No desire for that map at the moment just trying to fly on my old trusty maps with my old trusty planes
