I had a book as a kid on soviet aircraft and it was all photos of 80s and 90s color photos from airbases and in the air and a good portion of the book was dedicated to the Su-17/22. Have loved the plane with its F-14 like swing wings ever since. Great choice for a mod. Thanks for doing this.

Gotta admit that I love the OH-58 AI system as far as flying to waypoints. Its super simple and effective.

I can name at least one and its in beta and already it has features that surpass many higher budget offerings. It even has animated loaded cargo and troops. Its called Helicopter Gunship DEX and its a one man show.

One very bad thing about our existing troop carrying helicopters is aside from gunners we have no representation of loaded aircraft whatsoever visually. I own all other helicopter modules and it annoys me to no end that at the UH-1, MI-8 and MI-24 have nothing. At the very least I ask and cannot say it enough that we at least have a static representation on the troop seats of infantry or pallets/cargo shown in the cabins. This goes for the CH-47 too. There is currently a fabulous low budget sim where the developer has already done this in the beta stage in another simulation game. DCS has a far larger budget and it should not be hard at all to at least provide static models in the cabin when loaded. Its a lot easier and less time consuming then modeling seated troops that move heads etc. Please give us at least something. It is crucial for aircraft like this.

Rubbish my arse, and I was rerring to other contractors of DCS not polychop that have left us all in limbo with un-updated modules. You seem to have misread what I said. no where in my post was I criticizing Polychop.

I have no problem with this mod on the recent dcs update and i use the UL-60L armed and both the SH-60 and MH-60R. Has to be on your end.

The US Air Forces new COIN aircraft, Iomax’s Archangel

Thanks

I have the same problem. They are not engaging on the Syrian or Gulf maps as of today. WTF? They need to seriously stop hurting customers and fix these problems.

I think other devs who are disgruntled could learn something from Polychop. I like how they care about us. We spend a lot of money on this sim. I wish the devs of the Harrier would act like this. This whole trend of the bickering between ED and devs needs to end. Regardless of who is at fault. If this sim does not get a handle on this and continues supporting the modules that are in limbo. They are going to lose a lot of money and I sure as heck will not buy anymore of it is not rectified. Thanks Polychop for making heli's and looking out for the consumer and doing the best you can to be on top of communication, quality, and professionalism

They better darn well resolve this because I fly the AV8 a lot. Too many aircraft now are lacking support, no longer being sold, and the people suffering in the end are we who paid for them. I demand that these modules still be updated as new versions of DCS come out. We pay a LOT of money for this stuff and if they cannot come to an agreement and get back to normal with support than I certainly will not be gambling on buying newer modules. I have already invested a ton of money in this sim as have most serious players of this sim. I am also not happy with this new trend of releasing aircraft modules with no campaign at all and instead making us buy them separate. Not that long ago it was SOP to at least include one with every module but not now and thats really annoying given the prices we pay. If Devs and ED cannot come to some agreement then give the code to modders who will stow the drama and will deliver what we all demand. A working and up to date module that is improved as issues come up. To toss it in the garbage can over some disagreement is only hurting the consumer in the end and its unacceptable

I am having issues since the last update. DCS will freeze complete while I am in a cockpit of any aircraft at times. Then it will crash my PC completely. Never ever had this issue before.

I noticed when flying some A4 skyhawk missions that they will not load because they say they need tetet fletcher destroyer, and several other tetet mods. I downloaded this mod but it does not seem to fix those skyhawk missions? Still says those assets are missing?

is 1.2 the most current or is there an update? DCS 2.9 seems to throw a lot of errors about this pack in the log. I do not think they are fatal errors though but could be wrong.

I think its the dumbest idea yet for the USAF to try to replace the A10 with an F35. They tried this years ago by trying to sack it for an F16 and failed. First of all it can hardly carry anything. Stealth is not needed for TAC air. The guys on the ground want an airframe that can carry a ton of stuff and loiter for hours, the F35 also cannot withstand aa hits either, it also does not have an awesome and devastating cannon. The USAF needs to get its head out of its butt and stop being spoiled brats and thinking that everything has to be high tech and expensive. Its simply not realistic at all. Its ironic because they just chose an overrated crop duster for coin missions. They should just give their a10's to the Army and let them fly them like they want. That or build some updated new ones. The F35 is ridiculous for this type of mission. Its good to see that yet again, they A10 will not die and continue to serve for several more years yet. That said this is a great mod.
