Maybe they'll give us "Aircraft Forgiveness" on our choice of 1 aircraft.:pilotfly:

I'm a helo guy, but I'm probably going to jump in the A-10, since it's a CAS bird.

You can, by hitting Esc. and selecting "Take Control". I don't know if there's a way to switch among multiple aircraft though.:pilotfly:

Fly the Gazelle for a while; you'll grow to appreciate the easy hovering ability of the Huey, although the Gazelle is much more stable cross country.:pilotfly: I use a FFB stick BTW(MS Sidewinder FFB II) and an app. called "simFFB" that allows me to setup the friction and resistance that simulates the resistance of the rotor head as you move the cyclic. With that setup I can hover the Huey on a dime....maybe not on a dime, but definitely on a manhole cover.:pilotfly:

I started download at midnight, all went well until it got to the last 10% of the download where it started downloading in Kb instead of Mb.

I downloaded the Gazelle and the Mi -8 having trouble mapping the collective. I didn't realize how tiny the Gazelle was, or that it uses a simplified flight model. After starting the DCS World again the collective started working somewhat, after inverting the input it works as it should. The Gazelle seems to be in permanent Auto Pilot, flipping the Auto Pilot switch on the dash doesn't change anything. Maybe it has to be set before start up or something. IDK Other than that, there's a big delay in collective input, rotor RPM takes about 10 seconds to catch up to the actual input; is this turbine lag?

Damn! That is ridiculous! :detective_2:

I was able to press the "Center View" key 5 on the keypad.

I think E.D.(or whoever) modeled my UH-1H after that one individual Huey.:pilotfly:

Good lord; what a bunch of keyboard jockeys :argue: and chartologists. :vertag:

You do what you want there ace. :shocking:

If he had been cross checking his gauges he wouldn't have gotten into VRS to begin with. If the camera hadn't been there he probably wouldn't have gotten into VRS. :music_whistling:

If you can't get there without making a down wind taxi, take off and come at it from a direction that puts you into the wind. That video was settling with power. You don't have to be descending perfectly vertical to be in your own rotor wash, you only have to be moving perpendicular to the rotor disk, which is the same thing you'd be doing in a vertical descent. Watch the video and make note of where the rotor wash is going and which way the helicopter is going in relation to it. The pilot had good forward speed, but he changed the game when he pitched the nose up and turned forward into the equivalent of down.

That's why we taxi, take off, land and taxi into the wind, always. So, what you're saying is I can't adjust the configuration files to change the variables that control VRS? :smartass: Anyway, I'll take a look at the link Ramsay posted and see what I can learn. :pilotfly: Thanks

Are you telling me I can set the safe level in DCS Huey? That was my original question "I'm wondering if this is a bug that's came with the latest update, also wonder if there's a setting in a config file somewhere that I can tweak to make the physics more realistic"?

If you add on that much power yes. What I'm pointing to is that VRS begins slowly and increases if you don't get out the down wash IRL; in DCS Huey you can stay in the down wash and it won't increase unless you add on a lot of power. IRL you wouldn't have to add on more power, because as the helicopter falls into it's own down wash it picks up speed so the down wash increases to, which will make the helicopter fall faster and the down wash increases so on and so forth. Adding on more power will accelerate the descent rate, but it's not necessary to increase the descent rate. VRS is easy to get out of if you have enough altitude and you know how, the reason pilots crash from VRS is they're too low or they in a confined area, or they simply panic and try to increase power to get back lift. Yeah, VRS is simulated in DCS Huey, it's just not completely realistic. Next topic LTE.

Efficiency is higher in quality than inefficiency; moreover, efficiency is more easily understood as it follows a clearer standard than low quality, non-efficient gobbledygoop.:smartass:

Point!:pilotfly:

Does the button work with other programs? I just realized I have Version 2.5.5.41371 and I think you have Version 2.5.6; did the button work before the update? I wonder why I didn't get the update, or is 2.5.6 an open beta?

Any news on when this map will be out?

No it's descending at 1200 fpm and not one bit faster no matter how far it falls. :pilotfly: I could descend from 26000 AGL at 1200 fpm and end up in an IGE hover and never touch the collective.

What do you mean "Works on my machine"?

The fact that the descent rate went right to 1200 fpm and just stayed there. It's like they imposed some kind of VRS speed limit where you reach a certain descent rate and it doesn't accelerate like it would in real life, then ground effect comes in right at the very bottom.:lol:

What's not the key command that's broken? Lol I mean what key command IS broken? You said you wanted to assign keys/buttons to control the gov up and down in increments; right? That's how you do it, by assigning the key/buttons to the Turbine RPM Up/Down when you press those keys/buttons the gov toggle switch on the collective flips up/down and the RPMs go up/down on the tachometer. I think I see what you're saying now. Which keys are you trying to assign?

I have "Throttle Up" and "Throttle Down" mapped to 2 buttons on my joystick; when I press one of the buttons the throttle moves in a small increment. If I hold the button down the throttle moves until it hits it's limit. To get the gov switch to work with a button/key you have to assign a button/key to "Increase Turbine RPM" and "Decrease Turbine RPM" as sunwukong said before. The Gov Control Switch will work as long as you have the Gov in Auto; the gov will go down to the bottom of the yellow at about the 60 mark, and will go up to the red line.
