Nope. Only happens in MT. I just flew a 30 minute session without any issues in ST.

Check out the screenshots. So far only in the Apache, and in MT. Didnt experience this much, but that could change. Not sure whats coming from, but DXDiag is posted below. Using HP Reverb G2, WMR and not through steam. edit: seens its not just Apache related too, its spazzed out in the harrier too. DxDiag.txt Screen_230609_223650.bmp Screen_230609_223616.bmp

Ive tried to get a screenshot of it, but doesnt really show it well. Every time I load into the AH64 in MT, I get a bar on the inboard side of my left eye as if its the edge of the camera. Right eye seems fine. Ive been experiencing this since MT came out, and I only get it in the MT verson. ST is fine. Possibly other modules as well, but so far Ive only flown the AH64. Heres a screen

people also need to take into account air density with regards to the weather. Rainy summer days will be vastly different from dry winter days, also depends on humidity as well...but not sure if humidity is even modeled yet.

same

I cant even get to the main page of the website, too much traffic at the moment.

Im hoping someone can answer this...is the audio jack really necessary to plug in? Wouldnt the USB port be enough to make this work? Curious because I have to contend with sound coming through the right speakers now.

I never mentioned hiring someone to teach you how to fly; plenty of people online willing to spare their time to work with you so long as you join a squadron. They do that so they can have participation in events, whether its squad on squad competition, 1v1 competition...some do aerobatics, so its formation or stunt flying. The more people you have that can fly, the more people who can participate, the bigger the missions can be..and the bigger the mission, the more realistic it can be. So yes, it requires some dedication, but thats the price you pay for quality training and entertainment. And who knows? Maybe they train you good enough to where you can do your own youtube channel. Those out there asking you to pay for training arent worth paying for. I can name quite a few ppl like that, but Ill keep my mouth shut for now.

Thats not much of an issue if you find a squadron specific to the airframe you desire to learn. Theres always someone out there thats willing and happy to set you aside some of their free time to show you the ropes, and even better there are trainers with lots of hours willing to do the same thing. So your choices are A) Training missions that are hit and miss, B) training squadrons, C) research the materials on your own, or D) move on. Ive done a lot of all of those 4 choices, and the best way I learned was with an instructor. Look, I have all of the modules. Ive trained in the Huey with a squadron with an actual huey pilot, trained in a squadron with the Hornet who've worked on the thing, learned the A-10CII from an actual A-10 pilot, and Ive sifted through reading materials from both the Mi24 and AH-64D without any assistance except for youtube videos and the Army manual (which Ive had a few people from here explain to me how to read and interpret it). Guess which ones I have the most hours in? All the other aircraft I have I barely touch and thats mostly because I get disinterested in them due to no real training available and lack of time.

even I know thats strange....

Honestly? Lack of instructions. Had to do a lot of online digging just to navigate to here, and had I not done that I wouldnt have found the export.lua. Had no idea how to bring up any menus either, feel kinda lucky I have 2 monitors active most of the time because I wouldnt have found it. Spent most of the day yesterday testing a few things and I finally got it working.

OK so an update: spent most of the afternoon experimenting and finally got it up and working.

Ive had several types of rudder pedals, and without a doubt my favorites were MFG Crosswinds. They currently have a damper mod specifically to help with helicopter torque that help hold the pedals in place (or in most cases at least relieve some resistance), but any set of rudder pedals will do. The first thing I think you should do though is make your cockpit comfortable though, set your joystick up in a place where you can use it two handed and rest your arms on something at the same time. Then join a helicopter group with a bunch of instructors who can help guide and assist you with everything from setting your sim up to getting qualified to fly your favorite helicopter. A cheap pair of rudder pedals will do just fine, but dont expect precision from them. A lot of groups out there with a lot of experienced RW aviators, SME's and what not that are willing to help. Low Level Hell would be the first discord channel I would suggest joining too.

Didnt know anything about an export.lua, theres really nothing to go on except spending all day researching this thead online for DCS... also another question: in order to use the jetpad in DCS, do I have to buy the software for this as well? I thought that software was unnecessary unless you were using something like a buttkicker in addition to the jet pad, all Im using is the jet pad.

I have Sim Shaker for Aviators installed and running, doesnt seem to see DCS running at all. The other options you mention Ill double check later, Ill report back.

those issues have been in existence since OB release years ago...at least the double/triple BORT numbers...

I just got a sim shaker this week and Im trying to get DCS set up for this. Without any time to sit and look up 197 pages of what-ifs, is there something here that can help me get up to speed with DCS and this jet pad working? Ive no idea where to even start!

again if Im backwards then Im backwards.Been flying a long time I dont even pay attention to small things like that. Doesnt matter, I believe the point came across.

if I got it backwards, then I got it backwards...its been a while since I was actively paying attention lol...but when I referred to "if the rotor is turning right give it left pedal" I wasnt referring specifically to the AH64.

Its also beneficial to pick your aircraft up slowly and see trends. If your helicopter is starting to lean left, give it a tad bit of right stick until you level it out. Keep lifting your helicopter until you come up. You dont have to fully leave the ground to notice which direction your heli is going to tip over. In the Ka50, the heli wants to roll backwards and to the left; the AH64 wants to to yaw left and roll left; the UH1H wants to pull left and roll right (been a while, probably incorrect). you can notice these trends before you even go skids up, its just a matter of testing the waters first. Pick it up without picking it up and see where the trend is going and then correct for it. The trick is to learn how to stay on top of it. If the rotors are turning right, give left pedal to counteract the torque and vice versa.

Well, thats where you learn the fine art of finesse. There is a lot you have to know when flying a helicopter, and the first thing one has to do is get comfortable. Get comfortable means setting up your flight simulator in such a manner as to where its comfortable for you to sit, comfortable for you to rest your hands on your controllers, comfortable for you to move around your workspace. The majority of us place our joysticks between our legs and use both hands on the cyclic (and use our fingers to manipulate it, not the palms). Mine is mounted on the floor between my legs and I just pull up to it. Always has been since I started flying the Huey many moons ago. You're in it for the long haul, but you absolutely need to get comfortable first and foremost before starting anything.

central stick trim mode means that when you select trim, you let go of the stick and it will return to center...when that happens, the sim will recognize input signals from the joystick again. Basically this is it in a nutshell: Central Stick Trim: Trim button DCS: ignores any input from the stick until stick returns to center. You can literally pull your stick in ANY direction as far as you want and nothing will budge until you bring your stick center. You: release the stick or bring stick back to center DCS: ok, your stick is centered, your stick works again. It literally takes some getting used to because its just a workaround for people who dont have FFB sticks. Trim functions in helicopters is vastly different than in aircraft. Best way to trim a helicopter is to hold down your trimmer button and adjust your stick while in flight to the desired flight profile, then release the trim button....and then center your stick.

Hey, really quick...how do you set turbo mode in OpenXR?

guessing this isnt a topic very much discussed...

Artifacts happen. He could have been looking left and still seen it. Anyways, moot point.
