There are a lot of things to fix, but this is the Features-Thread, not the Bugreport-Thread.

Quelle: http://www.golem.de/news/hotas-logitech-uebernimmt-saitek-1609-123302.html Vielleicht lässt das zukünftig wieder auf steigende Qualität bei den Controllern hoffen? Oder, umgekehrt, es wird keine gescheiten HOTAS-Systeme von denen mehr geben? Oder sie lassen’s so minderwertig weiterlaufen, wie Mad Catz? Wetten werden angenommen …

I think, this is the point. When real pilots check the FM they stay in an envelope as they would in a real aircraft – in case of the gazelle: small movements on the controls according to the flight state, learned procedures in given situations, not even attempting to fly a looping or pushing the collective down to recover 20ft AGL after the free fall. In this envelope the FM may be pretty good – now an armchair pilot takes the controls and tries manouvers that would never be flown IRL, the FM feels ›wrong, not like the real thing‹ and no one can say wether it is or it is not as no one knows how the aircraft behaves in the real world when it was flown that way. Nevertheless I think the FM is not yet fully done in this state of development. Rapid movements on the collective should induce torque and changes in pitch and maybe in roll. I don’t think the SAS-Magic is that quick and that precise to let the aircraft fly as it was on rails – especially when Gyro and AP are turned off ;) But the gazelle is under heavy developement and I assume/hope the FM will be tweaked further like the other things that will be improved over time :)

Still no improvement after latest update, seems to be even worse. Still no customer service, too. I guess I’ll have to wait for 2.5 :(

The problem is still present after the update yesterday. I removed the module, deleted everything that belonged to the Mi and reinstalled the module without success. Don’t know what else I could do – maybe a complete reinstall of DCS? Would take some days and I‘m afraid it wouldn’t change anything. This is clearly a Mi-8 problem, as it doesn‘t appear on any of the other helicopters. I‘s a bit disappointing that there isn‘t even a word from BST …

Hi, I have a strange problem using this module: when I start DCS with the network interface activated, everything works fine and I can fly the MiG. But I prefer to have no network access until there’s a reason to activate it and when I start DCS without network access, I get the „Error“ saying my hardware configuration had changed. I tried to deactivate and activate the module in the module manager, but nothing changed. I also tried to rise the network interface and reactivate the module when the message appeared, without success. What could I do to fly the MiG when I have no internet connection?

But … this ground handling issues are reported and mentioned in various threads and according to the latest videos it is fixed internally already. And it’s not a secret that this module is still in development.

I doubt TIRs working angles are enough to simulate leaning out of the windows. Either it will loose contact to reflectors/LEDs or one will look out of the window accidentially very often when he just wanted to look down at the collective. For TIR, I like the solution with the keys – just mapped them to HOTAS. The only problem for me is that the window ist’n closed automatically when retracting the head. VR is an entirely other story, I think.

Still having this bug after update yesterday. Is there any data I could provide to help to track down this issue?

Gibt wohl in erster Linie noch Probleme mit dem Radar. Allerdings kommt man durchaus einige Wochen ohne das aus, wenn man die Maschine „lernen“ will – die hat erstmal ausreichend Knöpfe und Schalter, um sich zu beschäftigen. Das Hauptproblem mit dem Modul ist meiner Meinung nach sowieso, dass die Effekte der A-Bomben(-Simulatoren) nicht ordentlich modelliert sind …. (okay, das war nun nicht ernst gemeint, und es liegt auch nicht an LNS, dass das nicht funktioniert). Wie auch immer: ich hab’ sie heute mal wieder aus dem Hangar geholt und viel Spaß damit gehabt :)

There is a checkbox for the hardpoints in the mission editor, loadout page.

I can confirm Rodd. Movements mapped to TrackIR, I even tried to delete the assignements so no head movement at all was mapped – still this bug :(

For thoose who have a problem reading this pdf embedded, the original link is http://www.mwhelicopters.co.uk/File/UndiscoveredGem.pdf

With a Saitek X52 Throttle there are no problems, at least for the fuel lever. I don’t use an axis for the brake lever as its slow movement is a perfect timer for the fuel pump when starting up the machine.

I do also think it’s the stabilization system. When I switch off the gyro system, the helicopter behaves somewhat like a Huey – at least it doesn’t try to maintain the 0° pitch/bank. For me, there’s no problem flying this helicopter with the stabilization on as long as I remember how it behaves. Moreover I can use the characteristics for elegant manoeuvres like stopping to hover from a pretty fast sidedrift.

Works for me when I have another program/window on the desktop. When DCS is the only program running, I‘m unable to tab out, too.

For me, it’s the ›Textures‹ in the game options. Setting this to ›low‹ or ›medium‹ the Gazelle works like any other module. Setting it to ›high‹ and I get a slideshow, unplayable, while the other modules still run fine. Maybe this helps someone to enjoy this really fine module. Observed in 1.5.3 Beta with a GTX570

Any news on this? I tried to delete users data and messed around in views.lua without success. Mi-8 used to be my favourite module but now there’s no more fun flying it :(
