Hey Chugster, the FM is pretty decent so most of the issues we experience come from lack of training or our struggle with the setup (trim options, saturation or curves). Did you check out Bradmick´s "flight related things" on youtube. A ton of useful information from someone who flew the RL Apache. Concerning your "issue":

Same here. After succesful repair and a revived George no access to KI Interface. Only re-slotting in a new helicopter cures the issue. Occured in MP singlethreading.

Marked as solved??? Not really. And it´s not dependent by weather.

Now this is something else then the turbine Nr2 problem

No you are not doing anything wrong. This issue is at least since latest big update (on Beta) - if you search the forum you will find older reports of that as well - it was cured and is now introduced again. What the older reports suggest (like collective is not detected as 0 seems not valid, so don´t fiddle around with setting axis or deadzone. Tested does not work. What works is during the startup of Nr2: bring the power lever Nr 2 out of idle until ng passes the "magic" 52%. This of course is not per manual and clearly a bug. Others raise the collective (which triggers warnings) until Ng passes 52%. Others do what sirrah posted.All is only a workaround to get it in the air. I am surprised not to find more reports on that because we (on a MP server) have it regularily now. Maybe ppl mostly have hotstarted aircraft And now.... no track dear ED stuff. Why.....it does not occur every time so it´s hard to track. Hopefully someone has ist recorded...

Yes, same here so something changed on ED´s side that is not compatible with the shown font/aircraft symbol unfortunately. Mod itself (TV for pilot) works.

Seems that the link is dead right now.

Hunter Joker, check my post linked above. It´s anput the "water" but gives you general information on reshade and my preset for download. I tried several settings but this is what I like most. Depending on clouds (percentage of skycoverage) I only tune the "sky temperature" and I am good to go. prod80´s shaders are highly recommended. Maybe you need to adjust gamma settings in main options of DCS to your liking.

Just in case someone is in need to have Akrotiri Charts..... Akrotiri Airport and Charts Cheers Willy

I use it with JSGME mod manager (and I believe it will work with other mod managing tools as well) and it passes IC. You need to go right into multiplayer server (I prefer using TTI Server) and it works. Once you leave the server the red IC Icon comes on. Restart DCS and you are in again.

Impressive! All those exaggerated reflection are gone, one huge step forward. Thanks Mustang for your work.

It´s a "bug" and in since a very long period now and it seems that it has extremly low priority in fixing (not to say nobody cares right now - sadly). IRL during startup only slight wobbling occurs to the point the rotor is up to speed.

If you are not fully satiefied with the water color (or other shades in DCS) you might as well try Reshade for DCS. I use it myself without any performance hits and it can be tweaked to your convenience. https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/218629-dcs-world-and-reshade Reshade download and highly recommende shader by prod80 Easy to use, does no harm to your installation, easy to uninstall, can be tweaked while DCS is running (SP/MP), multiple "presets" possible and can be switched off completely if you want to run vanilla DCS. What I like most with prod80´s shaders is that you can easily tune alot of them for example to the "sky temperature" - so just one setting affects others according to the degree of cloud coverage. There was a cool tutorial on youtube but I can´t find the link anymore Below my Preset using prod80´s shader files Willy DCS_Real Reshade Preset.ini

This means for example: 255 degrees for 31 NM from ROP VOR. So you can find them by navigating with your VOR needle (given that the helo you use is able to do so). The Huey has bearing but no distance measuring.

lee1hy, let me say...THANK YOU for your incredible work. I got them all available and .... immersive, detailed, best liveries ever for the hornet. And the new afterburner effect is a must if one enjoys F2/F3 view frome time to time.... really well done. Fly them exclusively on TTI Syria server. Keep it coming..... Cheers Doc

That may help you alot: Hover tutorial and background and take your time to watch the whole video. Set curves as suggested and tune it to fit your joystick/throttle (i.e. collective) hardware. And the rest is all practise. In battle take your time, look for a sweet spot to explore the AO outside the range of AAA/AA units, search for high priority threats, check distance using the laser, move in, pop up in auto hover mode (if you are flying without a copilot) by de-selecting (auto)- collective, hide again. I recently came back to the Gaz and it´s my favourite helo righ now.

Try the following mods made by famous TAZ: these give you a little "workaround" of your problem without beeing too far off from reality. HUD darker glass HUD darker font Both give you a better readability of the fonts. The last even an option for "font sharpening". I use it and I like it. Cheers

@ Flappie I reported continuous MP timeouts to you Dec last year and could not nail it down to the very reason. Well.... I finally replaced the "high end (German) Telekom router" with an AVM router (7590 as far as I remember because I am at work right now). Guess what: since then no timeouts anymore. So it was some yet unknown stuff (probably internal router anti-virus that could not be turned off and blocking data with the result of these odd timeouts). I keep my fingers crossed that it´s solved for me at least. Thanks Willy

Usually flying on MP, noticed the intense wobbling as well after latest update (open beta) - flew on RL Huey and thats not what we experienced at ny RPM state. Think it´s "a bit over" at the moment.

I will do next time it disconnects. I played for several hour thereafter with no disconnect and butter-smooth wihtout any changes to setup or computer.

Well, seems that a sunny sunday does not automatically provide luck. FIred up TTI server (Syria) , everything fine to go aaaaand ....same shit as every day. Log attached... dcs.log

Flappie, first...there´s no QoS on my router (and many other router as well). So this option is not available for me. Second... I wonder what will happen to Yaga within a few days... my wild guess is he´ll get back his disconnects/timeouts (not that I wish it would happen). I will give it a try and start up DCS now to see if my timeout probem is present today or not (no changes made). Wish my luck :-)

It happens on Caucasus as well. Yesterday evening no disconnects but I am not sure if that server had active SA2/3 assets or not (did not check as I operated offshore and had no indication of on the RWR)

Through the Inferno, Havoc, 104th, VSAAF.... whatever you want. There´s no specific server that is constantly giving me timeouts. It may work well for a week and then again no chance to get into any server longer than 10 min. Usually it quits with timeout within 3-5 min (what other players see as well). Flappie I really appreciate your effort to help but timeouts are a topic even ED is not talking about anymore....because they know no cure.
