As someone who has almost every single module in the game. Who has supported ED even when not that interested. I was dead excited for the chinook. I love the module, but the update progress is extremely slow. This is concerning as I'm sure people will loose interest in it. I look at a module like the C130 and it looks so complete and advanced in comparison. I am alarmed at what I see as a growing trend where more and more incomplete modules are released and updated very slowly. Would be nice to have an idea on timescale, number of people working on module etc to give customers some idea on progress. I think the dynamic campaign is the most important next step for DCS and badly needed. But would love to see ED focus on completion of existing modules rather than pumping out more bare bones new ones.

ah, ok, just keep trying i guess, took me about 3 attempts. Downloading now, so don't give up!!

Hi, I had the same thing when using the MT shortcut. When i used normal dcs shortcut it worked. Maybe just lucky, but thought id mention it.

Guess inflation has affected every sector

Hi Bignewy, thanks for the info. Good to know. Many thanks.

Thanks for answer. I do understand all those functions you have listed and how to operate them, so my question is what is the Cntrl button on TGP for? As when I select it nothing happens. Is it not enabled yet (which is fine) or should it do something when pressed. For example how do you change the Lat Long to MGRS on TGP screen, is that possible? Would think that TGP cntrl button would allow those sort of things. All i'm asking is 1: Is cntrl page working yet and if so what does it do.

Hi, not sure if this has been modelled yet. But can't find any info on if it has. So will ask if the TGP cntl page works or not. I am unable to select it, so can't change co ordinates and display settings etc for TGP. Am I missing something? Cheers

Wow, really surprised you find it flies better. I have the exact opposite. Whereas before I could fly it fairly smoothly, now it's all over the place, abrupt changes in pitch make it almost uncontrollable. To the point where I have decided to not fly it until it's fixed. I went back to the MI8 which I hadn't flown in a while and it was amazing, predictable control at all phases of flight, ok VRS is still a bit over modelled I think! But such a joy to fly, whereas I find the Apache in it's latest rendition to be a wild beast that I can't tame, I'm fighting it the whole time and it's not much fun. Hopefully it will be worked on and be at least predictable. I'm afraid I've given up for now as it's exhausting trying to fly it smoothly.

For what it's worth I was surprised and disappointed that they couldn't be bothered to throw in some instant action missions to show off their creation. Especially considering they have taken so long to develop and release it. I think it will take a few years before they have it up to a good standard. As someone who isn't into messing with mission editor etc, would have been nice if the developers could have populated some airfield traffic etc and created instant access missions. All seems a bit amateur to me and I slightly regret buying it in the state it's in. Oh well I guess that's what early access is, but I hope they can add these soon.

I'm fairly sure in real life it's much easier to know where your Cyclic is at. Sitting in your pyjamas in front of a monitor with a desktop joystick however, maybe not so much. Whilst I'm all for realism, in this specific case I think a joystick trim reset option would be a great addition. Those that don't want it can not use it. Just give people options. I have every helicopter in the sim and for me not having this option makes it much harder to fly the Apache smoothly.

Hi, I think it brings up the flight page of the Left MFD,

Just seen ED have given me 8500 miles ($8.50) for delay in release of Apache, as a good will gesture. I'm impressed, very nice of them. Really good customer service. I think I will put this towards buying the JF-17, whilst on sale. Thank you ED, nice touch.

Yea no real surprise, I was very doubtful it was coming Dec, just with the timings of the video's, and start up video not able to be made as they were waiting on stuff to be completed. Despite Wags keeping saying 2021, I was hopeful but remained sceptical. Just as well. Roll on January

Base Station SteamVR™ 2.0 base stations track the exact location of your headset. Base stations are a mandatory accessory for using Varjo Aero. Guys, I am reading this correct? As well as 2K + tax. You need to buy 2 x base stations at 500EUR + tax as well? That 2K just became 3K if thats the case!!!

This is amazing news, with everyone benefiting from arguable the best developer in DCS. I was concerned at the start that the Eurofighter was such a big project for a new developer. Now with HB on board this will be an awesome aircraft and a day 1 purchase for me. So happy to hear this news. Good luck to all involved.

Outstanding effort from all involved. It's like flying a new sim, flying in VR everything looks so much better, cockpits sharper, clouds & lighting amazing. Great job. Best patch ever!!

Hi NorthStar, Might be a longshot, but worth opening up the base, with desktop mount, only 4 small screws, and checking the wiring, make sure it's not catching or routed in a way where movement of the gimbal can interfere or pinch a wire. Cheers Neil

Hi, I have exactly the same issue. Totally useless at night. Also laser range finder is stuck at 5860 m. No matter where i point the sight and lase.

I thought It was broken or something. Had no Idea this was a design choice! Wow, it's truly awful. Please bring back the old one, which was great to navigate and view.

Hi K51, Please also add me to the list. Cheers Neil

Thanks for both your inputs guys, much appreciated your help and efforts to try to help me out. I will try again with everything you have all mentioned and see how i get on. Cant wait for next mission :)

Thanks for your feedback. I can handle difficulty. I spent a long time landing, taxiing taking back off and re landing all around the crowd with no success. That is just frustrating. No skill involved in that whatsoever and just makes for a very frustrating and frankly annoying experience. As is landing on the roof and if the helicopter is slightly misaligned you have to take back off and try again, you get a mission failed message! That's just a waste of time and in my opinion annoying. Will try out those videos, thanks for your info.

Ok then, give us a clue. How do I open mission 2 in the mission editor. I can't face flying misison 1 over again trying to find the right pixel space to land in!

Thanks for tip, I will do it that way :)

And I switched to 136 and heard the message to hover taxi red by crowd, I did all that.
