Ich habe am Dienstag meine MFG Crosswinds bekommen. Junge, Junge - hätte nie gedacht, dass der Unterschied zu den TFRP-Pedalen so groß ist. Die Plastikpedale waren nach rund einem Jahr am Auseinanderfallen - und da man für die Tomcat offenbar eine Menge mit den Füßen arbeiten muss, wollte ich gerüstet sein :) Versand war überraschend schnell. Und auf mein Arozzi Velocita passen die Pedale auch perfekt. Nicht nur von der Montage, sondern in graphitgrau auch optisch :)

Dumb question: Will users who pre-ordered the Tomcat via Steam will get one of those, too? They look nice :)

Since those lucky youtubers who have the Tomcat all say that you'll need a lot of rudder work for that bird, I ordered those nice MFG Crosswinds. My TFRP pedals won't take much more, I fear. But I also upgraded to 16 GB f RAM and a SSD drive...

Are there plans to change the damage model of the skyhawk? Yesterday I flew against AI skyhawks for the first time and they can take three direct sidewinder hits without falling apart. Its great if you use the A-4 as a player, though ;)

What's that thing at minute 7:33? Some kind of land based catapult? Never seen anything like that before.

Thanks, much appreciated. (edit): I've tried it and ist really working. Troops are still running around in circles sometimes, but its possible again to pick them up

Thanks Gizzy, I'll give it a try. It seems to me that the main point is to set the advanced waypoint of the helo as first/spawn wp? Because until now I had set it to the point where I picked up the troops. The advanced waypoints for the troops themselves have to be at the "proper" waypoint, though?

Has anything been changed in the latest one or two updates regarding troop transportation? I had set up some missions where the grunts happily embarked. Now those very same units are dancing marigold pietz and/or run towards my chopper. Then they stop, their Labels vanish - but the units don't. I also cannot let them disembark again.

It's the same for me. However, if you build a mission where the skyhawk is already airborne, you can still use it. The A-4 only blows up when you start on the ground.

Big Boom on mission start Hey guys, after the latest update, my A-4 blows up (explodes) right after mission start. It only happens when I select start @ parking or runway. If I build a mission where the skyhawk is already airborne, I can fly (and land, too ;) ) without exploding. Anyone experiencing something like that? (edit: sorry, just saw that a seperate thread has been created)

It's really great - in the Huey, I can now really feel if vortex ring state is creeping up. Yesterday, I had a little moment of shock when my new Jetseat stopped working - but Andre instantly helped me via mail and suggested a Firmware reset. Which was quite easy to do and fixed the issue.

So, I picked up my new Jetseat today from the customs office. For anyone ordering from Germany: The customs want a bit less than 25 Euros for handing out the JetSeat, so it's not a big deal. Can't wait to try it out at home - right now, I can only use sound mode in my office. And it's working fine, all the colleagues had to try it out, too.

Dear fellow Huey drivers, after one of the the last updates I noticed some textures are missing. For examples the huey external stores - but only if I use downloaded Skins. Is there a way to get it working again?

Hey there, I'm really happy with the current option to set the labels to "symbol only". However, I'd like to change the standard symbols as well as the font size. But whenever I change something in the labels.lua file in the game's "View" folder and start DCS again, there's no labels at all (and yes, they are activated in the menu). Do you know what I might be doing wrong?

I'd try the Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas. You can choose to either control the rudder with that seesaw-like thing on the throttle - or you can choose to twist the stick as a rudder Control.

I always cheat when building missions. For me, there's always a maximum of 15 Degrees Celsius in the persian gulf so my huey doesnt blow up as soon as I reach about 70 kias.

This is looking so damn good, can't wait to try that bird out. I do hope that one of our talented skin designers does a Jester style Top Gun skin - it would make a great contrahent for the upcoming Tomcat :)

I ran a repair yesterday - and it didnt work. I suppose the reason is that the files containing the skins are there, so the repair function doesnt replace them. Next thing I'll try is to find all the desert skin files and delete them - that way, at least I hope so, the "repair" function might replace them with the original files.

That's a good idea, thanks. I'm gonna give it a try - and hopefully I won't forget to deactivate my other mods before that. I'll let you know if it worked.

Hello Fellas, before I did the update from 1.5.8 to 2.5, I forgot to deactivate the desert skins from Starway's desert mod in JSGME. Now, after the update, many of the standard infantry and vehicle skins are the yellow desert skins - which doesn't look too good in the caucasus map. Is there a way to bring back the old, green standard textures without having to roll back that giant update to version 2.5? JSGME must have those skins saved somewhere, but I can't find them.

Since I still use DCS 1.5 mostly to fly with Starways/Takos textures over 'nam or the desert: I don't suppose they will work with DCS 2.5, has anyone tried that yet? I really hope there will be an update for those wonderful mods. The new terrains look incredible, and those wonderful smooth mountains could use some palm trees... ;)

It's working. I only forgot to set the date to autumn.

Did you find a solution? I don't think its a double bound axis, since - at least in my case - the problem occurs only at higher speeds, depending on my altitude.

I found this here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2967707&postcount=148 ...I could downloda it, but I couldnt get the textures to work. But maybe I should have set the season to fall (october in mission editor)... I dont know. But anyway, the download works.
