I think that's correct also because the shooter was clearly back-leading the targets.

The apache's 30mm are also not actuated with a traditional percussion style primer. They are primed/fired electrically. Truly meaningless to us in DCS but an interesting data point nonetheless that fellow gun knurds will appreciate.

The Apache cannot be started from the front seat, nor can the external lights be managed so there's that.....

Enduro14 has it based on what I've found - all AP channels on, get to basically a full hover and then activate it. You have to be at a hover already - this just assists in holding that.

Thanks for the pointer to that! Awesome!

This right here. If it had REAL 16" guns with associated performance, AND tomahawk/TLAMs it would get a lot of use. The mod one is indeed visually fantastic but is missing those two things.

When it occurs with the specific wind conditions that induce LTE, and it doesn't occur without them.

You can try but I doubt that would work.

I tried that as well, and my interpretation was that it wasn't implemented fully yet.

I'm open to be surprised, but I really doubt that the modeling of the M230's ballistics is going to be to such a precise extent that we see truly substantial difference in performance.

Been using the polygon zone in MOOSE since forever. Really great for presenting targets at random on a road.

And you will have to re-add it every update I believe.

There are a few circumstances that can cause it, and each for different reasons. Each of them involve wind.

I just use Ukraine when I want that skin.

The question doesn't make sense on its face. LTE is entirely dependent on wind direction, and it does not occur at speed. I still have an open question for you. Because at its simplest, if you can make your circumstance happen in a zero wind mission, you are not experiencing LTE.

That's not at all what it says. He is expressly stating that this is NOT LTE. He calls it "NETR" also described by a USN pilot to us as "LTA" - Loss of tailrotor AUTHORITY. In order for this to be proven as LTE and not a power issue as many are stating, you would have to show that it occurs with the helicopter under MGTOW, and is only reproducible with the specific wind circumstances that cause LTE. To be clear - are you stating that you can reproduce the phenomenon under MGTOW and only with known LTE onset wind criteria? Because neither I nor the pilots I fly with are able to do so.

Anyone know if it will be possible to leave the FCR off as part of the loadout?

NVG's can be disabled in the ME, or simply not used, so everyone has a chance to be happy here if they want to.

Oh there is... What's the weight at takeoff? Reduce the weight to less than 100% in the rearm display and try again.

If this is all that is needed, then it's not LTE Spot on. It also cannot be LTE if it's reproducible with zero wind. And it is.

All of these things are possible, but NOT only in the ME with rudimentary controls. Each of the things you're describing are going to require logic expressed in code to implement. But these things can be done. This isn't offered as usable code but just some ideas on the "how" here using scripting/MOOSE: - Make red air (AI) notch (turn approx 90 degrees off the initial heading) at a pre-determined distance? I get the trigger/moving trigger zone, the problem is the specific action red_air = GROUP:FindByName("redaircraft") red_air_heading = red_air:GetHeading() newheading = {90,-90} red_air_newheading = red_air_heading + newheading[math.random(1,#newheading)] desired_notch_distance = 20000 --meters has_been_routed == false scheduler_stuff_here { distance = (get2DDistance_from_some_other_obj) if distance <= desired_notch_distance and has_been_routed == false then red_air:TaskRouteToVec3(some_random_point_in_new_heading_direction) has_been_routed = true end } --end scheduler You have some difficult problems to solve, but they are not impossible by any means.

No disagreement - I'm only stating what I was told by IRL Apache pilots who also fly DCS.

It's not LTE that is spinning people counter-clockwise on take off. It's lack of available torque. Get your weight under 100% MGTOW and you will have plenty of right pedal/counter-torque for both IGE/OGE hover operations. The fact that it doesn't happen at 100% MGTOW, and is easily reproducible with 0 wind mean that it's not LTE. Or take off heavy as hell, but do a rolling takeoff.

Yeah, mad respect guys. Amazing stuff here!

The Ka-50's cannon is nothing to sneeze at in terms of capability. People who know have remarked that the modeling of the KA-50's gun is very similar to the Apache in many respects. If we get that, I think it shakes out as both realistic, and DCS-useful.
