    FFB issue with latest DCS build?

    in DCS: UH-1H

    Posted

    I found what the issue is.

    This is because of vjoy ffb settings. You have to disable ffb of your vjoy devices, as with it on it could cause issues. Not always, I had that on for months or years without issues and suddenly I have problems.

    FFB issue with latest build?

    in Controller & Assignment Bugs - General

    Posted

    Hi,

    Anybody else has an issue with FFB with the latest build? I use a rhino ffb base, and now the stick is way too smooth. And no way to harden it as I did before with a pot on the base.

    This is not a hardware issue, because before I launch DCS everything works fine, when i put spring force to 100% I can barely move the stick, but as soon as DCS is launched everything is way too soft again and changing spring changes nothing.

    Seems they changed something with FFB in latest build?

    Thanks

    Firstly, use the DCS in bin and not bin-mt. They’re both multithreaded (and identical) and bin-mt is being removed in the future. Secondly, this issue for 2d or VR?

    Really? They are the same now?

    I will fly VR, but I tried first on a 2D screen to have it work first...

    Love how this looks.

    Though that would be great to have also the "FBI" agent in a seat inside the helicopter so it would work well with door closed or opened, and we could adapt with a script in our mission to have it go out the door or stay inside.

    (Would also love a female version of this FBI agent, that would go well with the "I love this job" mission)

    Something I didn't understand though, can we dynamically add a loadout into the mission with lua script or something like that? Or we have to keep the same loadout for the whole mission?

    Thanks

    My issue is I cannot get the payloads to show for love nor money.   They show up great in the load out list, but nothing is showing in game.

    just the standard Huey with just the rear M60s.

    just wondering does this mod still work, and if so any idea what I’m doing wrong.

    It works but not in the loadout menu.

    You have to apply the loadout into the mission (miz file) and it will appear just fine then...

    I love this mission (4.1 version but there is no 4.1 topic right?)

    Though I have an issue, unsure if this is intended or not, but the girl who is the agent with us in the mission is not shown in our helicopter, is it normal? And the soldier who is running to us is male, not female.

    So wonder if this is intended in the mission, if this is a bug, or if this is just because I miss some assets.

    Thanks

    [VR] How to close the left door?

    The Huey copilot is useless anyway so I just shove him aside and do it myself.

    Doorgunners get the same treatment when they refuse to fire 🤷‍♀️

    And how do you fly while using the door Gunner?

    Jump to the left seat (default key is "2"), then you can click the door handle.

    Then I will have to add some keybind. I do not see my keyboard in VR 🙂

    I think there is an issue with them not recognising “delayed activation” units that only appear after an event trigger (but I would need to check what exactly is causing them to ignore certain enemy units).

    The UN pilot campaign for example I think it’s mission 7 or 8 where you need to go defend one of the outposts from “hunters”. At the very end (before picking up the wounded soldier) you need to “convince 2 infantry and their car to leave the area”, and that never worked correctly (at least in the last 8 years or so): so I end up landing right next to them and shoving the business end of an M60 in their face 🤷‍♀️

    I didn't have an issue with this campaign. And don't remember this mission where you have to convince soldiers. Maybe they changed it.

    Nah, it's more immersive to ask your buddy to close it. emoji6.png

    This is a joke? Or you can really ask him to do so ? 🙂

    [VR] How to close the left door?

    in DCS: UH-1H

    Posted

    Hi,

    In VR I'm unable to use my VR controller or even the mouse to close the left door, I look left and try to click on the knob and it does nothing, the cursor does not turn green.

    It works well for the right door though.

    Any solution?

    Thanks

    Setting up the throttle axis for the Huey (VPC rotor plus)

    Make sure to check this post out. I haven't checked Huey lately but unless something's changed in DCS since then, this tutorial is the way to set it up for the Huey

     

     

    Thanks this was the post I was seeking. It is not perfect though and I had better results using joystick gremlin but at least it does not need another software.

    The problem I find with virpil software is that you cannot add an axis to button different if you comes into the range from the top or the bottom. Joystick gremlin allows that.

    Yes and no. It's good that you can set the collective range yourself, but when going over the detent you still need to click the detent button in the cockpit AND your own physical detent on the collective. I wish they'd give us the option to go over that detent automatically for people who have the hardware for it.

    With the virpil rotor plus collective, the button to go over the detent is recon as a button so I guess you can setup it as the cockpit button.

    Now what I wonder is if you can setup that so that the axis position of your real hardware will match the kiowa position for the detent. Maybe with curves...

    On the VPC collective, that physical button is not linked to a logical button so you can’t programme it or bind it to a function.

    It is on my vpc rotor plus collective. I remember seeing a button being pressed when I pressed this physical button.

    Thanks it works.

    Btw is there a way with the vpc rotor plus to mimic the way the throttle is supposed to work in the real Huey? As the Huey has this big issue it does not work well for that, as when you're at 0 power you have to click on the idle button then use page down to cut down the engine. In a real Huey you just push the button then continue turning the power down.

    Would be great if ED could fix that but I dropped all hope for that to work well one day 🙂

    Ok so this is why I didn't see them, I didn't install Caucasus map. I have a lot of maps but I installed only mariana WW2 and Syria (for the Huey) because all those maps take a lot of space.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I use a VPC rotor plus and I wonder what is the best way to setup it for the huey throttle. This hardware has an idle zone, but when I'm at minimum throttle with my hardware I'm at about 50% power, to be at minimum I have to use the idle button on my collective and turn the throttle more.

    I thought about setting up curves or deadzones, but in DCS you can put them only symetrical, not only at one end.

    Thanks

    Unable to close left door

    in DCS: UH-1H

    Posted

    Hi,

    I'm unable in the Huey to close the left door. The right door I can by clicking on the handle, but not the left door. I even tried to hide copilot but I try to move the mouse over left door handle and it does not go green.

    I know it is possible to open/close both doors with right ctrl C, but I would like a way to open / close just the left door.

    Is this a known bug there is no handle for closing this door?

    I can open this door when it is closed, by clicking on an invisible handle (because it is hidden by the seat) but I can't close it back.

    Any solution for that?

    Thanks

    No installation required?

    in DCS: Normandy 2.0

    Posted

    Hi,

    Something I wonder... I owned normandy 1 and channel, they were installed on my computer.

    So now I bought normandy 2, and when I checked on installed terrains, I do not see normandy 1 anymore, but I see normandy 2 (and channel),  but dcs didn't ask me to install anything. According to product, the size is like 40 gb, but I wonder if it really installed anything.

    Btw does normandy 2 covers also the channel map area? Or I still need the channel terrain dlc for some things?

    Thanks
