I know performance deteriorates at altitude and temperatures. However, this is an empty hook, struggling to get above 7000ft, with rotor dropping to 74%. However, if I place a hook already in the air at 13,000ft, it’s maintaining rotor rpm at 100%.

Surely not at 7000ft in a chinook, and still remain flying with your rotors at 74%!

I've put a simple mission together (cold start) to rescue troops at elevation, in bad weather. Apart from fuel, the chinook is empty. I have noticed that I begin to lose rpm when I approach 6000ft ASL, and it continues to deteriorate as I climb, the whole time my torque is around 55-60%. At around 7500ft my RPM is 74% and I'm still airborne LOL dcs.log afghan test.trk CH47_2-ship_QRF_Transport_V2.miz

Awesome work, looking forward to its release.

Whilst wearing NVG ( in VR), Radar/baro altitude, torque and speed data are impossible to read on the VSD. I’ve switched the MDF’s to Nvg, and altered the brightness as well as the nvg gain. Even using the vr snap zoom, it is still difficult to read. Is it that difficult in real life, as those digits are displayed in green? Is it possible to have the VSD in full screen mode? Is there a way to dim the standby flight display? The bright/dim switch on the pilot display unit does not appear to alter the brightness whilst in nvg. Maybe these things haven’t been fully implemented yet, or I’ve missed something, thanks.

An interesting mission concept for the near future would be downed aircraft recovery. Say, dropping off a detachment of grunts for perimeter security and mechanics for the preparation of the downed aircraft for slinging. For simulation purposes, this could be a 15-minute wait or less.

I have a buttkicker, this gives a physical alert to not only entering and leaving translational lift, but also if you were to enter VRS. This piece of kit, along with VR, gives great situational awareness of your a/c current situation.

Excellent, thanks mate, love the yotube channel too.

As per the title. This would be really useful for those of us who predominately fly in VR. To be able to read the manual whilst in game would help immensely in training and general referencing.

When entering instant action cold and dark start, the frame rate within the cockpit fluctuate between 10-15 fps. By reducing textures from high to medium, increased to 35-40 fps. It’s a temporary solution but hopefully it’s resolved soon. I7 13700kf cpu, Z790 Aorus Elite, RTX3080, 64GB 5600 DDR, DCS runs on a dedicated 2TB Samsung Pro SSD.

I thought some might find the following interesting.

Unfortunately there is no improvement.

Sitting in the Apache in the instant action-airfield start on the caucus map. My frame rate are at 20! They were at 40 prior to the 2.9 patch. I have no idea why, any suggestion? Running MT with the latest patch on a Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB Windows 11 on a Samsung SSD 980 PRO 1TB 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700KF 3.40 GHz NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 32GB Ram dcs.log debrief.log

I have tried that, and now have resorted to a new install. DCS is still not launching, even in pancake mode.

Hi, thank you for your response. Unfortunately, DCS still will not start.
