Livery request please. Yes i know it's an S-61T Some interesting reading. We already have a few nice liveries. https://www.twz.com/27378/you-can-buy-the-state-departments-totally-upgraded-s-61t-helicopters-that-it-barely-used

Gov Huey II and a Fatcow! Awesome work on this mod, thanks!

Please don't give up on this, I remember it from Freefalcon days and thought it had so much potential. I recently had a sit down with an ex SAAF Mirage pilot and the accounts of what went on were amazing. I still have a soft spot for the chopper crews as they've published more (a rarity). All in all it would be a fantastic addition!

Some good resources https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/de/files/3319472/ This is probably the closest

I get the same issue with the mirrors off and on in all maps during periods of dusk or dawn with heavier weather present. Hard when doing a Case III, in the meantime I've resorted to closing one of my eyes!

Point taken. I re-watched the video, they were quite high and out of ground effect when using the DLC

Great discussion guys, it's been a pleasure reading the last few pages! With regards to the videos as a layman it makes sense that DLC being used more for a shore landing as ground effect is more pronounced for a longer period of time. What I took away the most from the video of Meagan was how small her throttle corrections were.

@Boosterdog Yes there is a wake but it's extremely small and indistinguishable when you're trying to use it for a lineup. VR makes it even trickier to spot.

The 5:55 mark says it all! Looking forward to this!

10 cent Food for thought... Infantry and ground ops even with Combined Arms at current levels would pose massive setbacks with a scenario like Vietnam. I'd love to see this scenario come around but maybe the scale is a little large. Maybe, setting our sights on something with a smaller map like the specific operation "Lam Son 719" as an example. Lots of accounts of CAS, FAC, bombing and transport for fixed wing and endless accounts of the massive helicopter operations. Even the ground aspect of mechanized vehicles and Air defense deployment for both sides could gel loosely with current models and aircraft. I do think that something like this would fit the current DCS build more than the massive scale of an all out Vietnam war that lasted so long with so many different aircraft participating. Not to mention the size of the country/countries to be mapped. Concentrating on a specific operation or maybe just a smaller AO may be a more realistic expectation. However, I am also aware that even the specific operation above poses problems as you can't have a navy flying off of a ship without an ocean! Again, just my thoughts on trying to "make it work". I would love to be proved WRONG.

@N0430BMUnfortunately HB don't and won't have access to the F-14D's manuals so it won't happen at this time. The US government isn't going to release a bunch of info that could potentially allow a certain operator to upgrade their aged F-14A's. I'd love to see it too but it's not a realistic desire at this stage.

Again, it's a sim and a constant WIP. @Joni I wouldn't let this deter you from purchasing a module, especially one with such a fantastic amount of detail, time and PFM put into it. If you can wrap your head around flying AOA, stay on speed and fly the ball (whatever it's referenced to as @Victory205 has pointed out) on centerline down to the deck you're probably going to trap. The overlay calibration is a small price of "unrealism" to pay for an otherwise fantastic and unparalleled experience.

Works great now for me! Thanks again for revisiting this.

I'd love to see this too. From what I gather the waves are the wake from the ship moving through the water but what's missing is the ships' engine wake.

I would remove any mods for the Tomcat and then do a clean install as suggested above. I have found the airplane has always improved with updates, just with different aspects ie weapons, handling...etc, it's usually my flying skills that had deteriorated. Also try to take into account that different loadouts, weights and atmospheric conditions affect how the plane responds. Are you experiencing the same "poor performance" with a lighter aircraft in coordinated flight?

I was having the same microstutters issue with decent frames ( 45+) in vr and it was killing the Immersion for me. Every 10 to 20 seconds the visuals and sound would stutter. I read strongharm's post about having a new powerful rig with bad performance and went through his steps. I also noticed spikes in my ethernet that coincided with the microstutters occurring. Strangle enough for me it was razer cortex! I have no idea why, as it had helped me so much in the past. Disabled it and back to fluid game play. Obviously I tested turning it back on and with it came the microstutters. Sent from my MAR-LX1M using Tapatalk

Well said[emoji1433]and thank you for the clarification / update. Sent from my MAR-LX1M using Tapatalk

This happened to me after a steam VR beta update. Maybe that is the culprit?:doh:

Still has to be one of the most fun missions I've played. I'm sure now with 2.5 this could be made possible again. The only thing would be the adaptation of the tree weights in the db_units_ground.lua as mentioned previously.

Hi all, specifically the Logitech G940 users here. Right now I'm unable to bind my trim HAT on my Logitech G940 through the external profiler. It works fine with other modules like the SU-25 mapping the default trim keystrokes but no joy with the Harrier. The only difference I can see is that in the SU-25 the trim is listed under "Flight controls" in the controls category where as in the AV8 it's listed under "HOTAS". Anyone with the same issue? P.S using the POV for the trim would kill me! :badmood:

Not sure if this is a re-post but very fitting with the NTTR

I get the same when I have upuaut's mods installed. The trees disappear for some strange reason.

it works for me in multiplayer but once I'm coming back with a slingload it crashes the game
