Finally some very good news for the Hind. Thx ED for sharing some new screenshots and to give us the reason of the last low improvements regarding the Hind. I think this kind of news was expected by many of us.

06th MHR

Because important things have been missing for months now ! When I look on the last update I am really disappointed! It seems that the Hind in really put on a a side and they can say what they want, the last updates were really limited to a module that is still in EA. The "to do list" is hudge and we have currently only limited updates. For sure, the Hind and the Apache are clearly my last two early access purchases. You want to release a module in EA, fine for me but please afterwards give us what we are entitled to expect, i.e. serious and continuous updates. Anti-icing system that still doesn't work 7 months after the release, really? Can we imagine having a proper manual one day? Maybe after the new pilot and watch modelling is finalised. Yes this is irony! I really enjoy playing DCS and I know frustrated people will always exist. The covid situation is probably not an enabling factor but it does not explain everything either. Is it really too much to ask to know the current status of Alexander's team? Are they working on another project? Would it be possible to have a simple timeline with just what is planned for the next few months?

Being on the Mi-24 since its first day of release I must say that I am looking forward to this update with great interest. I fly in a virtual squadron, I'm connected on many servers on Discord and many FB sites related to air simulation, DCS, and the Hind in particular. From the many discussions I've seen in the last few weeks (since November 2021) it appears that many people have the impression that the improvement of the module is quite slow, while there are still many very important things to develop. One thinks for example of a functional anti-icing system and the improvement of Petrovitch... And these are only two examples. So fingers crossed for today's possible update...

Yep, downloading now...

Currently impossible to download...

It is clear that ED and its partners have done a great job in 2021 and once again we have had some new and very interesting things that have continued to improve our favourite simulator. We know that the implementation of Vulkan will take time and is not something that can be achieved quickly. However, there are other points that deserve some clarification: The development of the Mi-24. Since its release there have been some improvements, bug fixes and module additions such as Atakas. However, it seems to me that since the last few months, the improvements are minimal and that the module does not receive the attention it should. Some buttons in the cockpit are still not activable and programmable, there is still no manual, some weapons are still missing, Petrovitch still doesn't speak. One gets the impression that Alexander's team worked very hard to get the module out, but that since then it seems to lack the resources to really give the Hind the improvements it deserves. The improvement of the old Air and Ground assets. Despite the 2021 roadmap regarding the improvement of some "old" aircraft and vehicles for 2021 we haven't seen much during the year. What is the status of the announced SA-22 Pantsir? Many vehicles also deserve to be renewed in terms of textures. For fans of the next Apache I think it would be appropriate to give a real boost to some ground assets that are now from another time. I personally would have liked to see this kind of thing instead of a ZIL-135 which in the end is of limited interest. Some tanks, armoured vehicles and command vehicles (URAL C2 for example) need improvements to reach the same standard as the magnificent T-72B3 or BTR-82A. Best regards and once again Happy New Year to all the members of the ED teams

Concerning the last newsletter,the discussion about the usefulness of modelling the pilot's watch in the Hind has already been discussed and everyone has their own ideas about it, but I hope that the next Open Beta will give us more progress on the Hind than just this one. There is still a lot of work to do to get a complete and finished module and I hope, and I'm not the only one, that the Hind will not pay the price of other priority modules. Hopefully Alexander's team is still fully dedicated to the Mi-24's progress. I'm not sure that bringing forward the modelling of a watch as an advance on the Hind is the most welcome news for fans of this beautiful helicopter.

Hi Guys, I have a problem with the installation of my mods on a new PC and I confess I don't understand the problem. I have since a few days a brand new gaming computer and I have completely reinstalled DCS open Beta, SRS, Tacview,... Everything works fine. Then I transferred my missions (created with the mission editor) as well as the mods I was using on my old PC to the appropriate file on my new PC (savedGames/DCS Openbeta/Mods/Tech). The missions are displayed normally for loading but apparently it doesn't recognize any of the installed Mods even though they are exactly where they should be... How is it possible ? Many thxx for your help...

Hi, I have just reinstalled SRS after a complete installation of DCS on a brand new (and very performant) computer. When I am conecting on the server with SRS, my mouse is moving more slowly. Same issue when I am clicking on it, the latency is quiet high (1-2s) When I disconnect the server, all is working again as normal. Is it a known issue with SRS ? Thxxx

N'hésitez pas à venir jeter un coup d’œil à notre tout nouveau site Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/groups/930736214533111 Vous découvrirez notre organisation, nos missions, nos fiches "Recco", des conseils de vols,etc...

Thx for your reply Bignewy, I'm sure that's the case, but when you're passionate, especially about this machine, you always hope to have the improvements that are "still in progress" with each update. It might be interesting to have an idea of the team's priorities as well as a (brief and approximate) timetable of future achievements. Example: - Petrovitch voice: Q2 2022 - Kord in cargo: Q1 2022 ...

I'm quite disappointed by the improvements made to the Mi-24P since the beginning of September. Apart from the arrival of the Ataka missile and the correction of a few bugs we haven't seen much. At this rate I'm afraid it will take years to complete the module (hopefully one day). I don't know what this is due to, probably some explanation or explanations, but it looks like Alexander's team is already busy on something else...too bad.

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"

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 19 Dec 2024 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 "tapent" des cibles prioritaires lors de demandes d'appui aérien? 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-10CII ) 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, l'Apache, CH-47 Chinook et OH-58. 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 06th MHR est actuellement composé de membres français renforcé de quelques pilotes belges et d'un suisse 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. Nous encourageons le multicrew sur de nombreux appareils et notre but est de remplir les hélicos avec un maximum de personnel à la place de IA 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, Mi-24P et OH-58), pilote virtuel à la 06 depuis Dec 2000.

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...
