In reality the Gazelle only has two backseats so no room for "troops". Why not allow the Gazelle to only carry a Stringer (just one person) and nothing else? It's not meant for carrying things, leave it to its Intel role and fun with its missiles.

Was ist denn bei dir "nicht viel"? Ich habe in meiner Brille -0.5, hab die nur bei der Arbeit an und laufe sonst meistens ohne rum. Allerdings merkt man schon, dass ich Straßenschilder nicht richtug lesen kann. Aber unter die Rift gekomme ich die nicht drunter und gleich eine extra Rift-Brille besorgen finde ich etwas overkill bei der Sehstärke. Allerdings hindert mich die Auflösung der Rift schon etwas und da versuche ich an Erkennbarkeit rauszuholen was geht, und sei es mit Brille.

Außer natürlich die soziale Vereinsamung und körperliche Verkümmerung ;)

"Check with your engineer if there is some duct tape left" - "Duct tape is holding my engineer together" :megalol: Love to see your action. Makes me wonder if the 132nd was something for me.

While doing so could you please also fix the start locations of the Mi8? They don't spawn on the helo pads but half way off, so it's very easy to break the fron gear while taking off. This seems to be true for any blue Mi8 on any FARP. Haven't tried red side. Thanks, and BlueFlag is a ton of fun!

Hmm, nicht dass ich mich bis jetzt großartig in diesem Forum ausgetobt habe. Aber wenn denn mal Staffeltrainings ist fliege ich den Ka50. Obwohl ich gestehen muss, dass ich momentan voll auf den BlueFlag Server stehe und mich da zwischen Huey und Mi8 abwechsel. Der Huey verzeit sehr viele Fehler, bei der Mi8 komme ich bei jedem Landeversuch leicht ins Schwitzen. ABER EIGENTLICH WARTE ICH AUF EINEN ORDENTLICHEN, AMERIKANISCHEN KAMPFHUBSCHRAUBER!! So'n Apache z.B., ne Cobra würde ich auch nehmen. Und wenn die Bo105 rauskommt, dann nehme ich auch die. Wieso eine französische Gazelle fliegen, wenn man auch eun deutsches Qualitätsprodukt haben kann :)

This! I find it basically impossible to VRS this thing and I fly it hard, lots of collective in fast descends. The Mi8 on the other hand is a different story. THIS is really tricky. I actually think I got a special version, the Mi-8VRS

Normalerweise wäre ich voll bei dir. Es gibt so viele "Schrott"-Module wo ich komplett drauf verzichten könnte. Diese ganzen nutzlosen Trainer, die Uraltflieger (Mig15, die Ami-Variante davon, Mig21, Viggen) und erst recht diesen ganzen WWII-Nonsens. Ich will vieel lieber Hubschrauber sehen. Nur die F/A-18, die will ich unbedingt haben :D Das blöde ist nur, dass es unendlich viele andere Leute in der Community gibt, die gaaaanz andere Vorstellungen haben und denen das Zelt in der Hose aufgeht, wenn die Spitfire nicht nur in der XII Variante kommt, sondern auch noch in der IX!!!1!! (keine Garantie für die Richtigeit der Bezeichung :P) Fazit: jeder Jeck is anders

Hi all, I was browsing thru Wikipedias list of active F/A-18 squadrons and I found the VMFA(AW)-224 with a mission statemet that says Attack and destroy surface targets, day or night, under the weather; conduct multi-sensor imagery reconnaissance; provide supporting arms coordination; and intercept and destroy enemy aircraft under all-weather conditions. Apperently the "all weather"-part is significant, hence the "(AW)" in the squadron's designation. That got me thinking. 1. What do other squadrons do in bad weather, do they just not fly? That seems unlikely... But why this special designation then? 2. Is the bad weather aspect the reason all the AW-squadrons use the two seater version of the F/A-18? Because flying in bad weather is more challenging and doing recon/bombing requires an extra pair of eyes?

do you switch the EEG (electronic engine governor) on during startup? If not this easily kills the engines during flight

Well, I tested it myself (don't trust any data you didn't fake yourself ;)) Wind directions: Mission editor: set to 330 Briefing: says 330 Tower: says 150 PVI: says 150 actual wind: blew FROM 150 TO 330 (as seen by my helo being pushed and flags waving that direction) So there's your info. Tower makes actually sense, as for a good start you should face the wind,i.e. get your nose towards the heading the tower told you. Little additional info: Editor setting knobs have an arrow which shows the direction the wind will blow TO. Editor wind speed is in knots, tower and PVI velocities are in m/s.

Looks like everybody tells something different. My suggetion: build your own mission with some strong wind and then look at the direction of the windsack at the airport and compare to what the tower says. What you see at the nose is not meant for you to read the wind direction. But you can get the wind direction and speed from the PVI. In the bottom row is a button labeled something with wind.

Thanks for all the advice. Stupid me could have just sent the maps to a friend who just came back from the States for Christmas holidays...

I soo agree with you on that one. In my point of view the Ka50 in its current game state lacks some significant things, esp LLTV or some sort of night fighting capability. Even the Russian government said that after the evaluation of the original Ka50 and different upgrades were made in prototypes (it's in the BS2 manual). I don't actually know what version of the Ka50 is modeled in DCS and that's maybe not easy to say, as this bird never really made it off the ground with tiny numbers and several changes. What can be considered a REAL Ka50 version? In an ideal world there could be a mod to change the current Ka50 into one of the N or Sh versions where exactly those systems are remodeled that were changed and such a mod would have the blessing of ED and not cause integrity issues. I confess I have not tried the mod, because it does not replicate a real system. But from what I read and saw I am not worried that someone using this mod will get unfair advantages. I don't like the original HUD either but since (luckily) I have no health issues with it, I'll just stick with it as it is the real thing. But a different HUD or screen options will not make a significant difference in multiplayer efficiency. LLTV would be a different story, but you removed that so no need to worry here.

Thank you Ghostraider, but all these stores only offer european maps. I would want one Las vegas regional FAA map and an Caucasus equivalent.

Hi all, for some more authenticity I would like to use real aviation charts. And since I am old school (:book:) I like to have real paper charts. Does anyone know a website where I can order printed charts of said regions in Europe? I found an American website for the Las Vegas FAA regional but shipping to Europe makes this completely unrealistic.

When I have the canopy door open I look to take a look outside. Unfortunately the model seems to be not coherent. There is no texture between the edge of the cockpit and the ourside wall of the helo. I can basically look thru the helo and see the ground behind it.

Thank you for the quick reply. I am looking forward to your VR version then.

terms of use Thank you first of all for putting in all the hard work to make the DCS gaming experiance more enjoyable for all of us. And that free of charge. As a new Rift owner who suffers from "CDU illegibility due to low resolution" (yes, that is an official disease, ask your optometrist ;)) I would be interested in trying your VR CDU addon. When I read your terms of use however I was a bit confused about the point stated below: 3. To allow UltraMFCD (2.5.5.0) to contact ultramfcd.com upon startup.Could you elaborate why it is necessary to contact the website and what information is transmitted? Thank you and happy hunting

Yes, I play with tool tips enabled (because I am a noob) and because I cannot always read switch labels (because Rift resolution is not good enough). But the boxes are always HUGE, although only one line if text in them. So please adjust the size accordingly. The big empty boxes blocking the view are a bit annoying. You can do it, I know, because it works in 2D :thumbup:

^^ this As stated simply moving backwards does not solve the problem, as the compass band at the bottom of the HUD is not visible anymore.

Hi all, the Ka50 might be a powerful weapons platform but one thing that annoys the heck out of me is the lack of a RWR and a MWS. It is difficult to see enemies, especially when they can look "through" the trees and I can't. So at least I want to know when someone is scanning me and especially when someone is firing. The A10 has all of that and it makes for so much better situational awareness and less unwelcomed surprises. Combine that with a targeting pod that uses IR and it is actually possible to see stuff. So my question to Polychop is: 1. Will the Bo105 have a LWS? 2. Will it have a RWR? 3. Will it have a MWS? 4. Will it have IR optics? Thank you, Asset

thanks for filling my blanks. Still a lot more questions but don't want to take over the thread. Is there a document that explains all this? I know about the Round 9 SOPs, but they are not up to date

repair crates Could someone explain the use of repair crates to me, please? If I have a comm station or city can I drop such a crate and the site will be repaired? How many crates does it take? Can I also repair airports and FOB that way? As long as we still own the place I can order crates. So why not order some and immediately deploy them right there without flying them anywhere? Or does the game distinguish between crates that were spawned there and crates that were flown in? Also how long do EWRs, SAMs etc remain on the map? Does that get reset every 3 hours when the map reloads? How long does it take for a SAM, Stinger to reload once it fired all it's missiles? Thanks, Asset (Huey Haulin' Inc.)
