As an aside..a force feedback stick is best for this module?

Mine has a description.lua in the folder..is that what are you are referring to?

Alas have followed instructions..but still no joy with install...any help appreciated...

I have done hte same...just that mine does not show up in the drop down...perhaps delete and start again...

Errr..not following...I go into the game and the cockpit is the standard default...??

Hi all installed as per the instructions on the download for Ricardo HD blue and black cockpits, but nothing shows up in the "Customized Cockpit" menu feature..the path is DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Ka-50\Liveries\Cockpit_Ka-50 correct? My DCS World version is 1.5.3 xxxxx Any pointers on how to install properly?

Just chiming in to this thread, my two cents...got back back into the KA after a long absence, phew, this trim thing is a real sweat to be sure. Have watched a few vids etc, seems to be the way to go is to think about input into the AP...hover is an art to be sure...getting better (the HUEY made me a better pilot) but still real challenging...eg, finding that coming in to slow down to the hover hold 10 degrees up, apply trim, let the beast settle, then trim again, once below forward motion as indicated on the hud <20 engage AH? Having some better results but still not perfect...anyone suggest a method?

Just got the MIG 21 BIS and having a blast. No other aircraft has grabbed me like this one, for some time. Mirage 3 as well anyone?? Would love an F4, plus any teen series aircraft whilst you are at it...LOL...My fave would be the F105..truly a symbol of Pax Americana!

Having the same problem...can these updates be dled by torrent...seeesh....

When I go to build a profile using the ingame gui for my controllers, it seems to make changes to the profile when I reload it. For example, I clear categories, save the profile, reload the profile and phhht..it seems the profile has repopulated fields without my input. Has anyone else had these sorts of issues? I use CH stick, rudder and throttle and am loathe to use the uber wonk CH programming application-way over my head...

Title says it all. I have FC2, which is a pretty darn good "all rounder". Is FC 3 a much improved product? Should mention I have A10dcs and BS2, as well. However, there are times when I just want to jump in a jet without worrying too much about complexity. I guess what I am saying is..is it worth it. Also, is the A10a which is available for separate purchase straight from FC3?

Interesting comments. I always felt that the Lomac series did a good job of capturing the essence of the thing, without the switchology of F4, etc. That said I can also appreciate the immersion level going up a bar with switchology. My two cents.

Thanks all, particularly Beczl. Hope its a profitable venture for you, truly a labor of love, for sure! I will be buying it once its done.

Any one have an idea of the man hours involved to create/develop a 3d aircraft from scratch to DCS standard. Assume reasonably experienced 3d modeler (personally am a trained engineering draftsman). I note that there seems to be a trail of unfinished projects around the place. Do people realize the amount of work needed? Perhaps one of the DCS developers can chime in? Information gathering at this stage....

Just to be clear. 1/Load map in CH manager 2/ Download. 3/Play sim. Correct? Got my profile working save for the TD in Ruggbutts profile. Anyone?

Hello Have loaded a map via CH manager for use in FC2, particularly the F15. It all seems to work well. EXCEPT the mini stick for controlling the TD on the radar and the fire/release weapon command. I am a complete CH newb, how to check assignments, edit, reset using CH Manager? Have read through the CH for dummies, but I have obviously missed a point along the way. Cheers

Hi all Just hope somebody can help me out here. Having problems with Track Ir 3 pro, Vector clip/hat and using 5 software. Cannot get the profile right or some thing. Using Falcon 4 bms as test bed, if I look up, all good. If I look sideways, all good. If I look down (as into pit), the screen goes highly erratic, head kind of swivels around. Have tried modifying profile, adjusting camera, filter light, etc etc. Ad nauseam. Wondering if anyone could post their settings or advise on situation, anyone else been in the same boat. Should add I have always had issues getting 6 DOF to work. Cheers

Hi all, I have CH Pro stick, throttle and rudder pedals. Have never attempted to use the CH software. I am into Falcon 4, Lock on FC 2 and BS. I usually set up from within the game. Are there any major benefits from using the CH software? I have never really attempted anything with it. Are there big gains to be had? I note that FC 2 requires different profiles for each aircraft-how does CH manage that? Do the majority of folk use the ingame stuff and be done with it?

Dont know if this helps. When I upgraded to 1.0.2 I was getting the same problem, I was in trims vicelike grip. No rudder, no stick. What the...? Checked and found that most of the missions in 1.0.2 had GAME ticked in the options setting, after opening them with the ME. Unchecked, and now all is good. Most embarrassing from an experienced simmers viewpoint. All is now good.

Because after each install it prompted me for the key. I have no idea. Despite following the instructions on this forum to the letter.

Thanks guys. Have been flying around with R enabled. All sorts of problems when acquiring targets, turn to target etc. With R on, trimmed, one would appear to be in an arm wrestle with the AP, waypts etc. Which has shown me how much I dont know about the AP, PVI and Abris etc. A little bit of knowledge......

1.0.2 ought to be better after the hassle I had installing it. I am on Win 7 home, it wasnt until I stumbled across the way forward in the bugs sections of the forum, that I was able to get up and running. 2 activations later. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. But yes. It is looking and sounding very nice.

Hi all Just been getting back into this sim after some time away. Have drilled down into the manual. Ver 101. No problems with trim. But having some fun and games with Auto hover (which I like to use at a battleposition, so I can focus on targeting, getting my weapons away). At times I have gone into whirlygig mode, rotating in the hover at a high speed. Note stab aug on, ie pitch hold, bank hold, hdg hold Here is the mechanics of what I am doing1/slow to point where 000 is showing in Shkval, no discernible movement, vertically or horizontally 2/ Trim 3/ Set Autohover (sometimes this works better than other times) 4/ Use hms to get sckval in the ballpark of the tgt/lock tgt 5/ set to moving tgt, turn on tgt. Target is locked, all the symbology looks good. However, when the I go to add a little rudder to ensure all is lined up (Vikhr shot), the chopper remains locked to the hdg, no amount of rudder will bring the nose of the chopper around to get a lock? Now. I am wondering what are the preconditions so that all goes smoothly, modes on the autopilot etc? From the manual To hover automatically over a ground-point after decelerating to near-zero airspeed, you can engage HOVER mode using the following procedure:  Set the “МАРШРУТ-СНИЖЕНИЕ” (ROUTE - DESCENT) switch to the neutral position.  Press the “ВИСЕНИЕ” (HOVER) button on the cyclic and this will illuminate the “ВИСЕНИЕ” (HOVER) light on the overhead panel. The helicopter will then stabilize above the hover point; radar altitude stabilization mode will engage; and the “Нрв СТАБ” (RALT HOLD) light will illuminate on the overhead panel I am assuming the neutral position is on the collective? What mode should the ap be in? Thanks in advance to this somewhat wordy post.

Thanks Mbot. Great mission which showcases FC2. Yes, hard, got whacked by SAMs. Kind of got a little distracted by my RWR lighting up like a xmas tree. Couldnt find the FAC, north of bullseye 21 miles right?

Anyone familiar with this mission? Need a guide for it. Back to FC2 hog, after long absence. Can we tune in to different freqs in the hog? Etc? Looks an excellent mission, did scan the manual, but cant find anything, correct me if I am wrong. Thanks
