Ignition

Early Access... for ever...

Yes, is the most unstable helicopter of DCS yet it has an advanced stability system.

Still happening. Cold Start. This issue has several years now and it gets really tiring.

We still had this issue the 6th of august with the latest patch.

And its broken since release with no limit to weight and volume.

In addition to all this multicrew desynch issues, when the CPG enters the aircraft while it was already flying crashes the CPG client 100% of the time. This is an issue from the RELEASE of the aircraft and its really annoying.

The flight model is broken since the patch of february, 6 months. An update on whats happening would be nice.

To be fair this is a new 3rd party developer AND a new type module for DCS, paying so blindly is somewhat strange. And in the description of the aircraft doesn't explain the cargo mechanics and if the cargo mechanics are fixed after a year of introduction of the CH-47. Plus for all other major games with pre order you have a glimpse of gameplay during the pre order phase.

Sometimes what happens is you may trim the aircraft but don't completely center the stick after, maybe by a millimeter, and you think it is trimmed. It happened to me during a mission when I was under fire and crashed a few moments later because I had problems with the trim.

I don't know about the CH mod, but during missions I was able to see other helicopters and even other fast aircraft. As a side note, there's a video on youtube of an apache hitting a drone with the chain gun, something impossible with the dispersion on the DCS AH-64D.

The manual will give a lot of information you can't find on most youtube videos. I've learnt a lot by just reading the manual because I didn't understand some things. MSL NOT RDY No RF missiles have received an inertial alignment from the aircraft. A missile has not been selected in MAN mode. Ensure MSL PWR is set to ALL or AUTO to permit RF missiles to receive inertial alignment. Press the Missile Advance button to select the next missile in MAN mode. Page 508

Sorry I can't give you a track now. The way to reproduce it is Pilot sets a preplanning waypoints before spawn. When the CPG joins the aircraft he doesn't have the waypoints loaded into the aircraft. The pilot has the waypoints but the CPG don't.

With the new update the option still doesn't save the Hidden on Map option for the dynamic slots. You can see the aircraft on the F10 map when spawning on a dynamic slot.

Any news on the progress of the new rotor model?

Also, for navigation or for area operations you don't need to enter the full coordinates, you can fill with 0 the decimals or ingress a rounded half minute for a little more precision. This is specially useful for radio communications so you can cut 4 numbers over the radio.

Dynamic Spawn Template option doesn't save the Hidden on map option.

The preplanning doesn't get synchronized in multiplayer multicrew.

BLU-109 type bombs are penetrators, and not MK84 I believe the GBU-24 from DCS is based on BLU-109, I don't remember. The F-15E would have the GBU-15, AGM-130 and GBU-28 by now.

The jammer, RFI and DTC are the most important features missing. They've started redoing the rotor so I guess we may see this features next year, maybe the DTC this year. The progress of this aircraft was fast but then the aircraft suddenly got like "forgotten"

The bug is still present. We couldn't multicrew on spawn, we had to add a second aircraft to the base.

I didn't test it in this version, but the last time I checked the GPS was not present, the INS did align and you could clearly see it wasn't coupled to the GPS since the FPM was jumping and the altitude wasn't precise. I hope ED can simulate the INS drift and INS fix in this aircraft.

Don't bother with ATC in DCS, it's a 20yr old system which never got updated. Even more, the FARP mechanics in DCS are bare bones. The biggest landing platform it's also 20yr old with textures of a 1990 game.

I guess we will need to wait for the EF2000, then the next F4, then another secret project, then another F4, and maybe then we will get the A6 AI, and then another 10 years for the A6E. Heatblur likes to add aircraft in front of the A6E

I just want to know because it has been a long time since it was introduced. It's not useful in a PVP environment since every item doesn't have volume or weight, and even for PVE is not right.

The AH-64D in real life has auto coordinated turns above 40kn
