For sure I will check on that during the first quarter of 2022! Du coup je ne sais pas si tu es francophone ou anglophone The Gazelle is now also part of the closed club of the 06th MHR "skins"

Petit update au niveau de notre recrutement : Cette petite campagne de recrutement a été un beau succès pour nous puisque nous venons d'intégrer 5 nouveaux pilotes hélicos avec des niveaux différents. Nous allons maintenant nous concentrer sur la formation de ces derniers. A l'heure actuelle, et afin de limiter les formations à la 06, le recrutement est toujours bien OUVERT pour les pilotes hélicos mais uniquement à ceux qui ont une maitrise avancée d'au moins une de ces machines : UH-1, Mi-8; Gazelle et Mi-24P Hind. Avis aux amateurs et @+ pour de prochaines nouvelles...

Same issue for me. Help control are not working properly anymore. Impossible for me to add this on my screen. It was perfectly working before and during many years...

Update 12 Nov 2022 Bonjour à tous, Balerion, pilote hélico au sein du 06th Multirole Helicopter Regiment vous souhaite bien le bonjour. Tu voles déjà en hélico sous DCS mais tu te sens un peu seul dans tes missions solo où tu as envie de rejoindre une grosse unité spécialisées dans les rotors pour te lancer dans une mission de combat intense au raz des pâquerettes et exploser des colonnes de blindés ennemis en compagnie de plusieurs ailiers ? Tout cela pendant que d'autres transportent des troupes d'assaut sur un objectif stratégique et que des A-10 et AV-8B "tapent" des cibles prioritaires lors de missions CAS? Alors n'hésites pas à franchir le pas et rejoins nous à la 06! Bon voilà, terminé pour le teasing, passons maintenant aux choses sérieuses... La 06 est un Régiment virtuel 100% hélico (néanmoins composés d'un bataillon d'appui aérien composé exclusivement de A-10C2 et AV-8B) qui vole sur tous les modules officiels de DCS. https://discord.gg/bzDJvQrnTQ Dans les faits : Nous sommes plus d'une vingtaine de pilotes et nous volons actuellement principalement sur le UH-1H, la Gazelle, le KA-50, le Mi-8MTV2, le Mi-24P et en fin l'Apache. Nous volons 2 fois par semaine, les lundis et jeudis à partir de 2100Hr. Le lundi est généralement consacré à de l'entrainement tandis que le jeudi c'est une mission opérationnelle qui nous occupe. Il arrive que nous nous retrouvions, en dehors de ces périodes et selon disponibilités, pour des missions non-officielles. Le Régiment 06th MHR est actuellement composé de membres français renforcé de quelques pilotes belges et d'un québecois histoire de mettre une chouette ambiance lors des vols... En pratique : Pour nous rejoindre pas de pré-requis obligatoire mis à part de la motivation et de la bonne humeur Il est néanmoins conseillé de déjà disposer d'au moins un module hélico sur DCS... Aucun niveau de connaissance particulier n'est exigé et l'entrainement se fait petit à petit, d'abord en duo et ensuite en groupe. Si tu es motivé, que tu aimes voler, que tu as du temps libre pour nous rejoindre et que tu as soif d'apprendre, tu verras que voler en escadrille virtuelle est un réel plaisir! Nous nous rejoignons généralement sur Discord et en mission nous sommes connectés via SRS (Simple Radio Standalone) Au niveau des contrôleurs, un système HOTAS de base est amplement suffisant pour voler, un levier collectif n'est pas nécessaire. Un palonnier est juste fortement conseillé afin de faciliter ton vol... Ces derniers mois nous avons accueilli de nombreux pilotes. En plus du UH-1 et du Mi-24P, l'Apache est un nouvel appareil multicrew et notre but est de remplir les hélicos avec un maximum de personnel à la place de AI afin d'encore améliorer l'immersion durant nos vols... Si tu veux en savoir plus n'hésites pas à me contacter en MP et je te donnerai toutes les explications nécessaires ainsi que les modalités pour t'inscrire au cas où tu voudrais franchir le pas de notre porte... Alors à très bientôt et au plaisir de faire ta connaissance! Balerion (Ka-50, Mi-8 et Mi-24P), pilote virtuel à la 06 depuis Dec 20

New Mi-8 livrery for our 2nd FFS virtual squadron

Alexander and his "Mi-24" team have clearly announced that the multimonitor will be supported but later. It's definitely not a priority, there is a lot more interesting thinks to do before that. I have nevertheless modified some files in the OB version in order to have the map on a second screen in my simpit. Currently it's not perfect but it gives an overview of the area where you flying... Fingers crossed that multimonitoring will be part of the next following updates. The map currently displayed is not in high resolution either, a bit like the image in the Raduga aiming system before. We have seen that this has already been corrected... We just have to be patient because I am sure that a lot of improvements will come in the following weeks...

That's for sure a master piece ! When available on the Virpil Website ? Are you thinking of producing a document that explains all the construction, the origin of certain parts, the switch models, the connection to the LB board, etc.? With of course the files that would allow to reproduce the parts with a 3D printer...

https://www.checksix-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=286&t=209651 In french... I totally agree ! What a magnificent job Mole !! I remember when you told me that you were thinking of buying a 3D printer ! What a long way to go!

Combined Arms! A french guy has build a similar system (replica of the Leclerc turret controller)...

Hello LucShep, Thank you very much for your feedback and the comprehensive analysis. It was clear and comprehensive ! It actually confirms what I thought. A last more practical question, in view of my Maximus II pro Hero motherboard and my i9 11900K CPU, is it better to take 2 x 32Gb or 4x16Gb (or does it play no role other than keeping slots available for future upgrade?or ist it?) Thxxxxx

Hi all, I'm busy building a DCS-only, VR-ready war machine. I already have the CPU, GPU, MB and I am currently looking for the best RAM. I'm actually still wondering about three things: Is it really worth it to get 4.000Mhz RAM compared to 3.200Mhz for DCS? Is it really important to reduce latency and therefore take CL16 instead of CL19? Is there any real added value in taking 64Gb instead of 32Gb? My CPU: I9-11900K CM: Asus Rog Maximus III Hero GPU: Nvidia RTX 3090 FE Thx a lot for you advices...

Should be fixed with the following patches...Don't forget it's still an EA ! I am sure that a lot of improvments will come in the following weeks or months...

Already done....Nice but a little bit boring when you don't see what you do ! Knowing that in addition the Huey and the Mi-8 perfectly allow this kind of operations in reality...

Please ED, could you see if it is possible to integrate fast roping operation into our favourite simulator? It would be just wonderful to imagine one day seeing fast roping from a huey or the Mi-8! Pleaaaaassseeee

It's a current bugg on DCS and it was already reported. Same issue with the Mi-24P. Try with the Ka-50 and you will see that all is fine. So, it's not an issue connected with your Virpil collective....

Oups, sorry, you can of course delete the post! Thxxxxx

I tested a single mission with the Mi-24 starting with engines running from the Tarawa. When you start the mission, both engines are shutting down. Same issue with the Mi-8 on the OB and the stable version. I tested also with the Ka-50 and no issue!

That's why I don't understand why the Ataka is not yet modelled... Wait and see....

Planned yes ! When ? Nobody knows except the developers...

If you want to fly an helicopter : Go go go for the Hind (or the Mi-8)! If you just want to destroy all the targets on the ground whitout to much difficulties in controlling your machine : KA-50

Thx a lot for your analyse LucShep. For sure it's never a good time to upgrade your sim PC because we know that something new will come in the following months. A new GPU (ike the RTX 4090), a new Intel CPU,... At one moment you have to decide what to do. I have made the decision to build my new PC before the end of the year. I am also quite pessimistic about the prices of electronics and it is certain that the new items will still be above the current prices (which are already above the "normal"). My wallet has a limit to how much I can spend versus how much I can make...

Thx for the info, really interesting... I will further check all these before placing any order!

I always had Pc with Intel CPu. I currently have an i7-8700k, a 1080ti GPU and all is running very well with all DCS settings in High or even ultra. Multimonitor and my main screen is a Samsung G9 Odyssey. I will migrate to VR end of 2021 and that’s why I want to upgrade my computer. I always had good results with all my intel CPUs and it’s aslo why I don’t want to migrate to another system. And you are correct, nobody knows when Vulkan will be up and running on DCS...We don’t have received any updates regarding this topics since a very long time despite the fact that ED has annouced Vulkan for Q3 2021!

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i9-11900K-vs-Intel-Core-i9-10900K/4110vs4071 It seems that when using Only one core the i9-11900k is faster...when we know that DCS is currently running only with one core (before The arrival of Vulkan on DCS), it should be an advantage to run with it... If I am not mistaken...
