The master caution light on the instrument panel doesn't work like that on the UH-1H. To the left of the caution lights on the centre pedestal there is a test/reset switch to reset the matter caution light. - Bear

I'm interested, I'll PM you. - Bear

I'm not sure what you mean. In the real UH-1H: On the ground with the throttle at idle the N2 will be ~4000. In autorotation with the throttle at idle the N2 will be ~5500 (as the NR is no longer 'resting' on the N2 and slowing it down to ~4000). If you were taking about the N1 then it will be at 68-72 with the throttle at idle. Sorry if I have misunderstood your post. - Bear

This has been a problem for a long time now. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=131945 I haven't tried recently, but I believe the N2/NR split is modelled (not sure how accurately) with engine off, but with engine on the N2 seems to 'windmill' too high. - Bear

Then don't worry about it. - Bear

You have made yourself known by this comment and you shall be treated accordingly. Nothing you say is of consequence to those who have served. - Bear

It's true that you can fly a UH-1H IFR... In the same way you can eat ice-cream with a shovel. :) It lacks finesse and there are better tools for the job. The UH-1H's core business is VFR and it was built with this in mind. Australian UH-1H even had the VOR receiver removed, leaving only the ADF (and a (non-legal) Garmin III hand-held GPS) for IFR. - Bear

Not sure if I'm reading your post correctly. When tuned to an ILS/LLZ frequency the setting of the Course Needle will not have any effect on the Course Deviation Indicator. The Course Deviation Indicator simply indicates your alignment with regard to the two radiation patterns originating at the ILS/LLZ transmitter. http://instrument.landingsystem.com/ils-ground-equipment/#localizer-transmitter If you are aligned on the ILS/LLZ then the CDI will be centered regardless of the Course Needle setting. The Course Needle could be set at 90 deg to the final track and the CDI would still be centered if you were aligned on the final track. It is good practice to set the Course Needle to the final track as it makes interpreting the CDI information much easier. This is different to tuning to the VOR frequency which transmits the radial information in its signal. Changing the Course Needle will directly affect the CDI as it will indicate the deviation with regard to the selected Course. No idea if it's modelled correctly in DCS, haven't loaded it up in a long time. Apologies if I've misunderstood your post. - Bear

Still broken in .15 You win BST, I give up, I won't bump this again. I don't care any more. - Bear

Still broken in .15 - Bear

That's okay, the paint job looks nothing like the real one anyway! :) We had Regiment patches on the slouchie, but not on the shoulder. The ANF and bikkie look good though. - Bear

Sorry Cibit, you were right. I didn't spot the troll. :( He's on the ignore now. Cheers, - Bear

If you're dumb enough to do that, you can call it whatever you like. It seems now that you're more interested in using hyperbole to elicit an emotional response. Unless you're eight years old, it's inappropriate. If you are eight years old... go play outside. :) - Bear

I don't know about 'very angry', seems an over-reaction. It's very good, despite a few (not tons of) bugs and incomplete features. You won't find a better UH-1H sim. - Bear

I'm saying relax, nothing here is 'important'. :) This is a computer game forum where many people have a rough time with English and comprehension (even some of the English-speaking ones). If you find a conversation confusing or scary, don't worry it's just the internet. :) - Bear

He made a post in the 'Bugs and Problems, Aircraft Systems/Avionics' forum about 12 hours prior. I see the main 'DCS: UH-1H Huey' as a bit of a free-for-all, so a thread-jack isn't so bad. If nothing else it got us all talking about the unfinished state of the module again! :) - Bear

True mate, 'tons' was an exaggeration. :) I think the tone in this particular forum is usually fairly reasonable, considering the bugs which remain are often longstanding and in some cases fairly serious. The engine limitations can't be easy to implement, but I've been able to blow up the P-51 engine for ages now. :) The NR/N2 not splitting in autorotation is quite serious to me and was reported a long time ago in testing. Don't know if the lighting rheostats are still knackered (haven't loaded up DCS for a while now and even longer since I loaded a night mission) but that has been around forever. Is the external load still having problems at the moment? Again, not sure as I haven't touched it for a while. Now the HSI indication is 180 out. Even though it appears that the UH-1H has dropped to the bottom of the priority list (fair enough, BST is a company and companies need revenue which patching doesn't deliver) I'm not too bothered by all of this, at the end of the day we still have the best simulation of the UH-1H available. :) Personally though, I've stopped buying modules. - Bear

Several long standing bugs have been posted over a very long time. Read through the forum. Several bugs remain. - Bear

The UH-1H is constantly being improved and updated, but I'd still love to see this resolved. Bumping to keep it in view. - Bear

Just check that you have enough battery power (22VDC from memory) and you're good to go. if you're going to be sitting on battery power for a while prior to start, consider leaving your anti-coll and position lights off as well as any unnecessary electrical items as they'll gradually drain the battery. Don't remember how long it would take to drain the battery IRL or in-sim. Long enough. :) - Bear

My apologies, I didn't realise some operators still used 6400. :) Is there a reason apart from the suspected fuel flow savings? The ADF also used to use 6400 in the cruise but abandoned it several years ago due to the reasons I mentioned. Cheers, - Bear

G'day Derelor, Hard to tell with certainty. I did some silly things with the Huey and never approached anything resembling VRS, so I can't suggest where the onset lies exactly. The original implementation was definitely wrong though. I've experienced an 800-1000 fpm vertical descent which we incorrectly arrested with collective (tired, distracted and careless) with no problem. I apologise if I sounded like only pilots have a right to post facts, that's not my intention at all. Sometimes I just get sick of hearing nonsense proclaimed as fact with absolute certainty, while belittling those who feel otherwise as whiners. - Bear

Do you seriously have no idea why I responded to you like that? Your original post was not only arrogant and offensive, but also stupid. Using words such as 'I believe' or 'I think' can make all the difference when you have no idea what you're talking about. I don't care if you take my advice, I'm not offering you any. I'll ignore you from now on. - Bear

It helps to figure these things out before shooting your mouth off. Or at least ask politely. - Bear

I can see it now. Could have been a problem at my end. :) - Bear
