Our group was looking forward to trying the new voice chat features and possible moving away from SRS, seems they are still cooking.

IAT bug and work around So with the Apache when you start it up you will notice that the TADS is scanning the area, you try to tell George to lock on to a target and he wont, you jump in the front seat and hit TADS on the LH grip and the TADS is still scanning and, you cant control it. To fix this you need to at some point jump in to the front seat and on the LH Grip put the IAT switch upper right to O = Off. The bug is the Apache starts with it in Auto mode (4 bar scan) and George does not switch it to off, you need to do this for him.

The new FM is lovely she is a joy to fly again, George can hold a hover, and we got 1200 rounds of ammo. The bad the IAT Auto bug is a really bad bug to slip though testing, there will be a lot of players who wont even see the fix for this so the TADS works and will just consider the Apache broken, one you know what to do than its back to normal.

Thanks for the how to fix this, but seriously my team found it within 1 min of jumping in an Apache after the patch so I find it hard to figure out that a bunch of official ED beta testers didn't, ill volunteer our group as a second batch of beta testers

Im with the OP, the point is George should be able to at least fly the helicopter to some form of competency, with someone in the front, its not like he was being asked to dodge in coming missiles, coming to a hover should be a pretty basic maneuver in his flying skills.

Nope an uncontrolled loop to the left at very random times, I know about the well documented LH roll when you nose drop the Apache, this a full on loop im talking about and it only happens to the left.

It happens to me in nearly every flight between 90-110, its gets worse the faster you fly, at times the Apache is like a bad roller coaster ride, way more unstable in a LH turn than it used to be. I know they will ask for tracks but plenty have people have reported it.

Me too, wish it would release, getting a bit over of hearing about its coming every week and its close every other day. Must have been a slow week at ED, nothing else to report ??

Some sort of PLA id say, but I have no idea about the 3D printing world.

I love to fly helicopters in DCS and have set up my sim pit for flying the Blackshark and Apache, but realized I was neglecting a lot of planes with this passion, my Winwing F16EX was setup with a clutched system without springs as this suites most helicopters in DCS, how ever this wasn't ideal for planes at all I picked up a second Winwing F16EX when they were on sale last month and have set it up for planes, trouble next was swapping them out as it took a while unbolting the joystick from the sim-rig base, as DCS support hot swapping of joysticks in game I wanted a easier system. I found a company online called QR Mounts that make quick release 3D printed plates for most joystick/racing wheels and ordered the parts needed, they turned up yesterday and I installed them this morning, this gear is nice and has made swapping joysticks a 30 second operation in DCS. https://qr4rigs.com/ Here are some pics so you can see the QR Mounts in operation (edited)

Same only buying on a confirmed release date given, but thats only if I have money left from my DCS yearly budget, Sinia map next I think and then maybe the F4E so funds will be trickling away

So we got a release date comment by Razbam yesterday, but still no date given to those who pre purchased, typical smoke and mirrors it seems.

Thanks for the fixes, every one helps.

I'm seeing this with trees and shadows in N2, its horrible.

Just had my first fly on N2 instant action free flight in MT VR and used my default setting's for all maps since MT come out, at times I'm down to 33FPS for this map, it runs pretty bad in VR for me compared to all others sitting in the high 88s 13900K 4090, 64did DDR4. Ill check the civ traffic option next and make a mission with it off.

Ill happily give the new in game voice a try again but so far every time we have tried to use it as a group in the past its been very mixed results (reported in the bugs setion) hopefully it's better this next update. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Still cooking They didn't give a you a release date so you really have no idea.

At the end of the day with all the hype and YT previews of the F15, Sinai, Normand 2, F4, Corsair, Koiwa & the other modules we have been shown, in the end it will come down to everyone's personal wealth in these tough times as there is a lot less $$$ to go around today than there was 3 months ago. If they all drop in the next 3 months then I my self will need to make choices on what I get as I cant afford all of them at once as it will be a lot of $$$, Choices will need to be made, luckily the N2 map will only cost me $10 so I will get that when it drops, the rest I'm not really bothered to much about all the hype this time and dont really care if a module drops or not

Found a work around to no green cursor in VR Use Scratchpad, this gives you the white dot when you press L/L and use that instead of the green circle which doesn't show in VR, move the white dot and hit Add Waypoint with the VR shortcuts Only time you need to ALT TAB now is when you press CTRL+SHIFT +T to send the waypoints, if your using the AH64 it asks if your the CPG or Pilot and you need to select one so have to Alt Tab, if the dev added a option to pre set that as a drop down menu it would be perfect for VR use. Great program thanks for the work on it.

` With the Way2 I cant see it in VR only when I take my headset off do I see the green circle

It certainly flys different from any other DCS helo, only today I was at about 70knots hit right rudder and it put me into a uncontrolled sideways loop that lucky enough I had enough height to pull out from, never done that before and took me totally by surprise

The cogs turn slowly

Hi if you have the Buttkicker Gamer 2 or Pro and have the Haptic connect software, it now supports DCS via the USB input, I have downloaded it and configured the software sliders and made it so DCS telemetry is enabled but im not getting any haptics. Anyone else tried it yet and managed to get it to work Cheers

Thanks for replying, I got the Capture F10/F11 View and Capture Coordinates working (no idea how) and get the beep the last part that's eluding me is Send to Aircraft no matter what keys I assigned for it, and also remove any corresponding key in DCS, I can alt tab and press the Send to Aircraft button and it works.
