I only ever take all aspect P5s. They are the better than the Magics on m2k

Bert in gazelle staying true to the task even when on fire And the other pics are what happens when NASA convinces a huey to attack armored convoy....and that moment when you pop up and a shilka is right in front of you :helpsmilie:

Is it just me or is the smoke from the exhaust a little bit excessive? I've seen F5s in real life and the exhaust in DCS I feel is greatly exaggerated. This is a huge if not the the biggest disadvantage when in a merge not being able to conceal yourself. Also on a side note, the altitude drum spins the wrong way, did I get a corrupt install or is that happening for everyone? i.e. When climbing altitude numbers should drop top to bottom and vice versa. I'm appears to be reversed or am i wrong?

@shinwa yes we are all still bros in rotors. No hard feelings I hope. And to Mirk, yes this is what happens when i have no one to spill my ramen or super sonic boom my helo, hopefully with new job (congrats by the way!) you will get a little bit of time to relax and come play on server again! As for the fob destruction via GBU :megalol: and perhaps a few HOT3 missles:music_whistling: don't you know me by now? I like hardcore realism when I'm on the side that's winning :P and complain when I'm not on that side. Baha. But in all seriousness I can admit it was slightly trollish and I would never make it a habit or constant mission to destroy poor helos on a spawn. It was more of a "I wonder if this could work" idea then a "let's troll those helos" lol. You can count on me that it won't become a consistent objective or anything like that. The way the AI caps shoot us down anyway I doubt it ever happening again (from me that is)

Instead of complaining I think we need to embrace this moment. I'm a helicopter pilot, I love Huey(huey is life) and if I am able to deliver a GBU12, BUDDY LASED by an A10, over a highly defended/ multiple sams and AA helo pad, FROM A F5, :pilotfly: we should call that an amazing accomplishment! Lol sounds like a lack fighter of protection/stacked teams. Also remember, FOB stands for FORWARD operating base, i.e. In the danger zone..oops I mean conflict zone :P gotta get those scramble start sequences going and off the pad asap just like IRL :thumbup: No hard feelings to my fellow Huey pilots (Huey is life) but sometimes you need to mix it up. I am sorry if I offended any of my brothers in rotors. Awesome tac view Bert! Couldn't stop thinking that we looked like a bunch of tadpoles following cosmic around the map! :lol:

try maybe hold p press w release p release w? and no not recently, ill try tomorrow for sure tho, now I'm curious

Works for me, apply the brakes then pull handle, then release handle, then release pedals (they should stay "locked") Last time i flew saber, a Looong time ago you had to have engine running to get hydraulic pressure. Not sure if that has been changed in any update or if it was accurate from the beginning.

Ah yes you re right thanks. I knew they had to fly far, but not THAT far lol

Would it be possible whenever you get around to it, to alter the duel slot for F5e, any chance they can spawn hot? Dealing with ground air can get old especially when I keep getting shot down by the mighty SUs! or Cosmicdubloon lol

That was awesome aim9! I was landed in a town northwest of aspherdockzozk or some crazy thing. It was incursion number 3 that spawned up. I want to say around 20nm from blue FOB on heading 107

Anyone try to use rocket illumination in huey? I understand they need to air burst and parachute flare, but they just seem to fly forever then fall to the ground. Not like they work in the A10c. Bug or am I missing something?

Something ive been noticing on the wonderful Tuapse map, not sure if its due to the more open terrain, or planned flight path, but the AI CAP have gotten a little too out of control in my opinion. I cant tell if its harder to run/hide just because the terrain is less elevated or exactly what it is. But I will say with a full 25 people on server 8.5/10 I will be killed by the AI cap on each sortie. And that's not even pushing the enemy safe zone. I took off out of sochi with Nasa6 and about 10 miles in we got blasted by AI cap. Just curoiurs if there was any way /plan to maybe "tone down" their OPness or something. Just gets frustrating when you start getting PVP kills but continually die to the all seeing eye of the AI. In Kashuri there seems to be a solid boundary where as when you get within a few miles of their safe zone you know the ai cap will be coming down on you. Just seems that they have a little too much free range in Tuapse. Not to mention they will actually come shoot up helicopters that are landed on the ground hiding! lol But other than that the Tuapse map is a huge hit personally and for those of us that group up in TS. Also love the carrier group Huey's, they are in excellent position, I plan to binge fly them this week. I did want to also mention, didn't notice too much of change of AWACS in Tuapse, perhaps a slight improvement. but the new AWACS in kashuri is WAYYYYYY better. Can definitely hide a little easier from those pesky 27s :) I also re challenge you to a ramen/vodka spilling contest now that I have a few hours in the mighty F5 ! Hehe :pilotfly:

Yes the F5 can Tune awacs 124.00 but the 1 is actually represented as a T just left click twice. Also make sure you switch radio on (and by on i mean UHF selection knob to manual) and turn the volume up, default volume was too low i had to spin the knob up a little bit.

I think I've had one AB failure, and I was excited because I was like wow they modeled this too!

Lol no you weirdos wasn't like that. He asked me to be admin but made me swear I can't ban fixed wing aircraft and just have Huey's flying around. I said i cant keep that promise:lol:

You know you need a break from DCS when you have a dream about meeting Mirknir! LOL It was definitely interesting. But the new update today...tiger has teeth now and m2k fixed! No breaks for me!:thumbup:

:helpsmilie:Currently there are no FARPS because I think server is down...

LOL thats awesome!!!!!!!!!

MIG PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYY MIG 28 MIG 21 MIG 15 Mig 15 almost killed Su33 with guns Mig28 Killed Su27 Mig 28 turned into bait for mirage while MIG 21 Killed m2k. Fun sortie! Out of vodka for the night, must refill for tomorrow:thumbup:

Just curious as to what your map rotation plan is? Weekly? Bi-weekly? Never see Tuapse again?! It was such great map! We all miss it

Then someone had the great idea to call out the rest of the pilots and challenge them to go under a railway bridge :dunno: The SA342 did of course because its so tiny its almost worthless :megalol: The mi8...well lets just say :crash: he didn't make it. Not even close. In fact I'm pretty sure his helo was bigger than the hole he was trying to go through in the first place:doh: Then my pilots wanted to go for a swim so we sat down totally intact:music_whistling: then went for a swim! Well lets be honest I clipped my tail rotor and landed near the river bank. Then jumped out to go for a swim and cosmic tried to suicide me as there was no more helos to fly together! The End

So the helicopter party started out great! 2 infantry incursions destroyed (American made huey was only original helicopter to survive both :D ) Good formation flying and teamwork, went to rescue a downed pilot by the name of Bert...all was well...:music_whistling:

Lots of fancy words and numbers here but unfortunately you are incorrect (slightly) and technically you are both right.i really tried getting my head around your torque statements but you must understand that torque is reactionary. Not something generated by an objects weight. However in fluid dynamics possibly maybe it makes sense but my brain starts to hurt when thinking into it that deep. Years as an aerobatic instructor and many more in career aviation I prefer the KISS method "keep it simple stupid." And keep in mind I am here not to insult anyone's intelligence as it is very apparent you are well educated in this subject. While I will stay out of the yaw conversation I'll focus on roll. The aim9 creates drag. If you agree with that statement (as anyone should) the drag produced will decrease the the effectiveness of the wings lift (in the real aircraft very negligible as stated per manual and poorly modeled in DCS). That's what drag does inhibits lift. Not to mention increased induced drag from the missile design itself, this ever so slight increase in drag is unproportional to the opposite wing. So what does that wing do? Creates more lift than the one loaded with the aim9 causing it to roll or have a tendency to pickup. That fact can't be argued and wing shape/design/sweep/ won't change this as both wings are proportional when clean.*** BUT the majority of the disrupted flow WILL cause the aircraft to side slip, this is increasingly apparent on the wingtip rail as the distance between the missile and center of pressure(lift) and center of gravity are at its absolute greatest. Now throw a mk82 on the inboard pylon and a clean wing on the other side and you have a whole other ball game! So the only person wrong here is DCS! What a surprise lol anyway that's my two cents!

I KEEP GETTING SHOT DOWN IN F5 GAHHHHHH #SALTLIFE!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad: :megalol::helpsmilie:

LOL! give me a few weeks of practice. Or maybe we dogfight in m2k vs su27 :D
