thank you. i searched for 'day' but failed. maybe i fat fingered it.

I still wish there was a way to customize kneeboard size and position withing dcs. The click and drag bit gets to be intrusive. I resorted to creating a mod that positions the kneeboard where I want it but it breaks IC.

In the left seat as part of turning on the TV, you must rotate the key under the monitor (to the left of the pylon selector). I cannot find a keybind for this control. Is there one?

Is the latest version of the DCS server beta single or multi threaded? Does the minimum system requirement change for a multithreaded version? I currently run the server on an i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz with 8 gb ram.

@Raptor9thank you for sharing your experience. Force trim overshoot is the phenomenon i was trying to describe. Frequent trimming is the solution I developed and im glad its the correct habit. Still i never experience force trim overshoot in the huey prob because there is no scas. It just has the magnetic forces hold the stick in place. Although i use a force feedback stick, its only 5 kg max so sometimes i find myself not pushing the trim button because i can actually be more precise when i am feeling resistance. I guess my sense of proprioception is wearing out w age. Other things that i used to do relatively well like shooting hoops and playing darts is also not as good anymore.

SCAS insulates me from the feel of the aircraft. It makes adjustments to maintain attitude without my awareness. But when i press the trim button and scas is suspended, my attitude goes crazy (because i have not prepositioned my cyclic and pedals to provide what scas was providing). Of course in dcs we have the ‘show controls’ which reports what the pilot and scas are doing. But there is no such display in the real helicopter. How do you real pilots deal with this? The only way i can imagine is to frequently trim- pushing the button almost every time the pedals and cyclic are adjusted. Is there a way to turn down the ‘gain’ of scas? I like that it damps out changes in attitude reducing pilot workload but sometimes wonder if a little dial/or color changing led might be useful instead of just a ‘scas saturated’ warning. Like ‘ how saturated is it?’

I have found scas to be more powerful. Using the trim button seems to not only give a sloppy stick but also suspends scas. I am using a rhino ffb stick. Pressing the ‘show controls’ hotkey’ twice shows pilot inputs on the top left and scas inputs on the top right. During flight the scas tends to oppose pilot inputs but as soon as the trim button is depressed there are wild positional changes as the pilot’s unopposed inputs affect the aircraft. similarly, lifting to hover is a totally different experience depending on whether or not the trim button is held down. This makes the apache more difficult than the huey. In the uh1 there is no scas so holding the trim button only gives a sloppy stick. Your muscle memory remains valid so the chopper keeps its attitude. In the apache, the minute you depress the trim button, not only does the stick get limp, but that invisible ‘assistant’ disappears so you have to immediately change your inputs just to maintain the same attitude. Keeping the ball centered helps minimize this disconnect in yaw and roll but there is no indication for pitch. i realize scas is added to help stabilize an inherently labile airframe/powerplant design, but the added layer of complexity is challenging to fly if you forget the significance of the effect of scas.

I think they removed the F15E icon

Well, you CAN get the Sinai map even if your credentials cannot be validated. And the Sinai Map CAN be downloaded. And non official modules (C130, UH60,etc can be flown. So at least you can do something.

If ED's servers are down they should prevent this problem. Maybe they can give a week with all the modules for free.

somewhere i saw that the servers will be back up in less than 2 weeks. it's already been 6 hours. Maybe we should have a website that tracks this and we can get a rebate on our next module?

I thought we had 3 days grace for offline play?

I guess the sinai map has caused a DDOS by the number of people trying to get it.

I was having an issue with a mod(kneeboard mod) that led to my inspection of the log. I removed the mod and crashing stopped but these errors remained. I then reinstalled the game and found these errors persist. No crashes but i guess these are the traits of a ‘beta’

I dont know if this is a DCS or SRS bug. As a pilot, i have no trouble changing radios either with the rts rocker btn on screen or the keybind. The arrow moves in the action display and the asterisk moves in the SRS display. However as CPG, i cannot get the SRS asterisk to move.? Since the arrow in the eufd moves, it seems an srs bug

this clause is what is confusing : "Even if you have LOAL indications in the cockpit," Why would you have LOAL indications in the cockpit if <2.5k or a moving target?
