I just tested it on Caucasus yet but in can test it on other maps (Syria, Persian Gulf, Sinai, Nevada and Marianas). Edit: I've made several test on different maps. It comes out that the UNI error appears only with the option "start from ground", but not cold start in my case. Maybe it's the same for other pilots. But as said I tested it only in SP, but maybe are the spawnpoints in MP set as start from ground, and the UNI error could come from that. Edit 2: confirmed! Every try on all the maps I have gave the same result, alignement ok from cold start at parking, UNI error if the "cold start from ground" is selected. I don't know if "cold start from ground" is correct, my DCS is in french. Hope it helps.

Hi In SP.

Hi, same for me, and it's impossible to reset the UNI warning. Fully shut down the F1, then clean startup (parking brake set, waiting about 2 minutes for gyro alignement etc..), the UNI warning light comes at the end of the alignement. Also tried the automatic start sequence with same result (first ALCM with UNI warning, then shut down, 5 minutes cold and dark, then auto start seq) . I had it with ALCM, ALR and with ALN too...

Hi I've made a GBU bombing mission with the F1. For the guidance, you can use additional vector. For example, my target is at 299°/56nm from senaki (tac 31X), just set up the bearing and distance on the IDN, and the tacan of course. Then use the RNAV-VA . I release the GBU at 12000 with a light diving at 6-8 nm from the target, it works fine. I'm using the Predator drone with autolase. Also tested with JTAC on the ground, which works too, but you have to make all the radio stuff before it lase the target. You can also use a waypoint (then use NAV-N)or the waypoint offset (NAV-VA), to find your target.

In fact it's not the same problem. It's not a complete layer that disappear, only the nearest clouds at the edge of the point of view. If I understood correctly, dynamic clouds are 2d generated and that's not working correctly now. But the static weather uses 3d clouds and that works perfectly.

Ok thanks for the answer. The strange thing is that I think this bug games up since 1 or 2 updates...

I made some other tests on the same mission, i have only the problem with the dynamic weather... A test with static weather overcast 6 (a lot of big clouds) doesn't make the clouds disappear.

Hi I had some strange thing on DCS on the Caucasus Map. Some clouds appears and disappears. I've maid some other flights without any problem on other missions. Test on other maps too, it seems to be only in this mission. Could it come from the fact that there are many planes and other object on it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAcAp9f2dV8

Wonderful! Can't wait to add it to the other high res liveries. Just a question about the screenshots made in DCS, how do you make them so realistic?

How do you made the screenshot so beautiful? It's like a photo. Do you use reshade? If yes, what filter do you use? Thx

That's about the flight dynamic of the helis. The main rotor will induce a torque effect to the heli, depending of the rotation of the rotor. if the rotor turns clockwise (CW), the fuselage wants to turn counterclockwise (CCW), and in the other direction when the rotor turns CCW. The job of the tail rotor is to counteract that. But if you observe the helis in general, the tail rotor is above the main rotor. This will induce a momentum to the heli and push it on the right ( if the main rotor turns CW) or left (main rotor CCW).when you start to lift the heli, the torque on the fuselage raise, and then you have to counterbalance it with the tail rotor. That will raise the momentum of the tail rotor and, make your heli banking either on the right (for the gazelle or other heli with CW turning rotor) or left for the other. I just found a video that explains the effect of the tail rotor. I don't know if you have other helis in DCS, just keep in mind that the Gazelle is a light weight heli, and so, if I can say it more reactive to the aerodynamics effect than heavier helis.

I personaly think that the actual FM is the most realsitic that we have for the Gazelle. In fact the first one was too "light" and the second one was too "heavy". I've never flown the real one, so I can't say if it's accurate, but I think that they are approaching the real FM. Maybe they are some minor adjustement to make, I don't know. For flyingscotsman, maybe is a repair necessary, because if you could drop 20 ft only by lifting the collective a few millimeters, there is a problem. I've made a lot of flight since the latest update, and i need to move around 20-30% to lift it fast as you describe. So as RealDCSpilot says try a deep repair, and it would probably solve your problem. Or maybe it's a problem with the axis assignement, it could be that it has been reset by the update.

Can you please share the miz file? I just looked the trak, but it was just the start and then the rotor hits the ground. and it's finished. Edit: just understood how to make a cargo mission. I've made 2 test, one with 220lb and one with 868 lb. In fact the 220 lb is unusable, it's just turn around you and make you crash, and the 868lb can be used, but at low speed. At 60kts the container is far behind as it seems to have no weight and a lot of drag. It's my first experience as cargo lifter so I can't say if it's ok or not.

I think that's an helios profile, only working on Helios.

Hi As so far I can answer, the KU couldn't be separated like the MFCD. But maybe it's only something to write in the lua files, but that's over my skill.

How did you manage to habe this matte appearance on your liverie? Cause the default french liveries are too shiny. I wonder if it's possible to have the same matte appearance on them.

Reboot your PC try to modify the name of the file. if it works, if you can, the update would work.

Hi Great job for the update of the Gazelle, would it be possible to fix the shiny appearance of the combat and desert liveries? I saw the new Daguet liveries who haven't those shininess anymore.

First of all, thank you Polychop for that great job! Now i'm feeling flying the most realistic Gazelle since the beginning. It's a pleasure to make tactic flight at 30ft (10m) above the ground at 200khp and to attack the enemy vehicules. I just have a strange feeling about the autohoover, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. I'm engaging the CSV and then slow down and trim the Gazelle and adjust the collective, to reach autohoover conditions (less than 8kph and 1m/s vertical speed), and then the CSV turn to green (engaged). But the Gazelle is balancing a lot, as it seems to overcorrect. Sometimes the CSV switches fast between yellow and green, and the vertical speed rises or decrease. I tried to first setup airspeed and V/S and then engage CSV, sometimes it get "stable" and sometimes not. Is there maybe a procedure to engage the CSV that works every time?

Ok, my mistake was to think that there was any keybind for it, but it's the DEB EFF that is working . The doc isn't up to date for the special option page. Now i have to find the right setting for it. Just made a test with instant as setup. A little bit surprising.

Hello I've looked everywhere, but i didn't manage to trim the tail rotor. What did I missed? Thx

Saw today the bug had been corrected. Thank you

In fact, reboot the PC allows me to delete the file.

Hi Just tried several times to update the OB, but i've got an error every time.

Just made a test today, never had the ladder even from cold and dark start. The external power group bug also had been corrected. edit: it appears only in solo flight.
