Rabies

I was hit by a missile and took significant damage. Bitching betty was calling out "engine 1 & 2 out, Rotor RPM High". I initially thought autorotation time, but noticed both engines were still functioning. I jettisoned all stores and headed back to base, increasing torque to reduce high rotor rpm. Upon approach I noticed lowering the collective fully, only reduced my torque to 60%. I've uploaded the track file to Dropbox as it is 43mb, I'm not sure if it can be cropped. The first part I was busy adjusting flight controls as I thought something was amiss, I should have checked the weather report, more specifically the wind LOL. It would be interesting if someone could talk through what happened and maybe explain the conflicting reports or is it a possible bug?

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for reporting crashes, but I have never had this happen in MP in any other module. All three CTD occurred whilst on the Rotorheads Server. Thanks dcs.20220330-224658.crashdcs.20220330-032017.crashdcs.20220330-000829.crash

When using the CPG TADS as acquisition source, the image on the pilots MFD is to dark, it’s difficult to recognise ground features as well as targets. I have used the dials on the left in an attempt to improve the image clarity but to no avail. Am I missing something? As you can see from the picture, I fly in VR (Reverb G2).

I’ve not been in the cpg seat but from the pilots perspective everything is in front of you. At your 8 o’clock there are controls for internal and external lighting. Starting engines apu etc are at your 9 o’clock, so you should be able to manage the module without exacerbating your underlying ailment. I’m sure the CPG seat is the same.

Re-sync your flight controls with your pc. Then delete all your axis commands and then reassign them. See if that helps.

I believe this maybe implemented later. On similar posts, I think it was Wags who said the team plan on working on George to implement some form of independence.

Awesome work mate thank you.

Thanks for the replies guys

I have noticed in some videos that the IHDASS frame etc. is faded. As you can see from the picture, mine isn't. How do I change this? The option of IHDASS in the menu just removes the frame altogether. Thanks

I’m not sure on the current guidelines in posting combat footage from the Ukrainian war, but I find the following footage really interesting. The KA-52 crew passes over the engagement zone multiple times until the inevitable happens. I find the video does not promote the war in the Ukraine, but shows a pilots view of rocket and cannon engagement and the dangers of passing over known enemy positions multiple times.

Is it possible to bind the power leavers to my HOTAS throttle?

Looks like the release might be delayed while Wags has a missile surgically removed from his backside

A classic theatre of such undertakings is the Vietnam war. Helicopter crews, crew chiefs, mechanics etc. improvising and adapting their aircraft in theatre to meet active mission requirements.

For me personally, it is like being 5-years old again on Christmas eve, full of excitement and anticipation for Christmas day. Yet come midnight its Ground Hog day, and I'm back to the morning of Christmas Eve again. It's not long to go before release, sit back and chill. Or if you like puzzles, try and figure out how you're going to map all those necessary commands onto to those few buttons on the joystick

.....where's the next AH-64 mini update? You can help ease the pain and suffering while we wait for early access by teasing us some more with a video

I’m in the same boat as you, i7-7700 @4.2ghz, gtx 1080Ti, 36gb ram, on a z270 gaming pro Carbon. I only fly helicopters and typically mp, apart from some stuttering when looking left/right out of the window, I find the game very smooth. Don’t ask me what the fps as I don’t know and don’t need to. I think for some, fps becomes such a focused target/demand during play, that it may influence a view point subjected to bias.

That’s the game, tomahawk. Tweaking the volume on the cassette player so it loads correctly. Great find

You might be interested in Apaches over Libya. Once agains it’s British pilots but operating from a royal naval vessel, the first time that Apaches have undertaken operations in a maritime role.

Oh crap

After updating DCS and Windows 10, I have yellowish marks appearing within my VR optics. They weren’t there previously; does anyone have any solutions?

When you are pulling in the collective, watch your rotor rpm, it’s dropping to the point the generators are falling offline. As mentioned above, your are probably at max-weight or above, rolling takeoff is the way to go. You could share your mission file so we can replicate your takeoff.

You young grasshopper I’ve been waiting since I first played Gunship on the ZX SPECTRUM 128k in 1986

Looks like early access will be at the end of January 2022.

I will use the combination of my UH-1 collective along side the Warthog throttles. The combination should suffice the clicking requirements whilst flying in VR.

Being from a Cold War aviation unit stationed in Germany. I would honestly enjoy a campaign from that era or an adversary with todays military technology, of facing a modernised mechanised armoured unit of Russia or China. Back in the day, my unit was given less than 24 hours of combat effectiveness if the USSR decided to cross the East German border. It’s time DCS players faced a contemporary adversary and not some dude with an AK-47
