Spathiphyllum

I am no expert and what I describe might be normal but I can't see any heatblur coming out of the engines (?) in the Viggen even at High setting meanwhile other modules produce a very much visible heatblur even at Low setting.

I am wondering how to fast erect the main Attitude Direction Indicator. There is a visible knob in the lower right corner of the instrument but is non functional. The manual, however, states it can be fast erected.

Exactly.

I find the HUD completely unreadable against any light background: runway, clouds or even the sky itself. It's literally a torture for the eye to try and catch the readings.

Lifting the cover of the magnetic declination knob, the knob itself won't turn. Wanted to set the +6 degree declination for the Caucasus map but there is no way turning this knob.

Another weird finding. Whenever I fly the Viggen in a multiplayer environment, the the default zoom is totally messed up, it is zoomed in waaay to close using TrackIR. No issues at all when playing offline, the zoom is perfect. As soon as I enter a MP environment, it's zoomed in like crazy. Not any of my other modules seem to be show this weird behaviour. 100 % reproducible. EDIT: It looks like it's limited to certain MP servers only. Tried two other servers, everything is fine. But whenever I visit this particular server, the zoom issue is real. Can servers adjust or in any way manipulate an aircraft's cockpit zoom? EDIT 2: A popular Youtuber seem to be having (or at least had) a similar issue on their servers with the viewpoint being zoomed in and low.

Hey, thank you for your kind response and no need to be sorry - I am not at all worried knowing that such a talented developer team is behind this awesome aircraft! You are aware of the issue - this is the most important, I am sure that a fix will come in due course. Until then I will exit and re-enter DCs to avoid the crashes. I just wanted to report it so that you know - but you knew already anyways. :-) One more thing I noticed that replays are somehow bugged using the Viggen. My first ever circuit in the aircraft, and what a smooth landing it was, but the replay made me crash into the grass alongside the runway.

You might be right - I have no clue, just watched the video in the morning and I thought it's worth mentioning. Thanks for letting me know anyways!

This surely isn't entirely fixed. Bought the Viggen two days ago, and if I go from the ME to fly the Viggen, then Quit using the ESC key and the Quit option (that takes me back to the ME), and then fly again and hit ESC once again and select Quit, the game crashes and wants to send an error report. 100% reproducible. using Open Beta only.

Bought the Viggen a few days ago and almost instantly came across an issue that I can reproduce 100% of the time and that is limited to this module only. 1. Open the Mission Editor (ME) and set up a (however simple) scene with the Viggen. 2. Start the mission. 3. Hit the ESC key and select "Quit" from the menu that pops up. 4. This will take your back to the ME. 5. Start the mission once again. 6. Hit the ESC key and select "Quit" again from the pop up menu. 7. The game crashes and wants to send an error report to ED. I've been using the Open Beta software only. Tried the exact same with all my other modules (Huey, Gazelle, Mi-8, Hornet, Harrier and Mig21bis) and none of them had any issues when doing the exact same to them.

I also noticed that if I go flying from the mission editor, then choose "Quit" and return to the ME, then go flying again, if I choose "Quit" the second time, the game crashes. It can reproduce this 100% of the time, and happens only in the Viggen. I have been using the Open Beta version of DCS.

Hello, If you look at this original Swedish video at 8:30 then you'll see that the radar stick is collapsed on the ground. I guess it's a feature - you can then erect it for use. Would you please implement this into the DCS Viggen as well?

Is there any update since then, regarding the road base system? GUI, Multiplayer functionality etc. Also, it would be fantastic if the following could be somehow developed/achieved: - While keeping Civilian traffic flowing, exclude them from using the road designated as runway, by somehow tricking the AI civilian traffic. This would kind of realistically simulate how a road is close when it's used as a runway. As a positive side effect, we could still keep civilian traffic going, without having to worry that they will use our "runway". - Also, to get the ground crew not to drive into the aircraft if it's still on the ground and the ground crew starts to relocate. I haven't found any news on further developments on this road base system. I am wondering if it's still being further enhanced as promised more than a year ago, regarding a a proper GUI, MP functionality, or is it now abandoned and left as currently is?

I am wondering will the Viggen ever get a pilot body then?

Rain effect on the canopy pleaaaaase. :-)

Same issue here.

I would love the UH60 or the new S70 Battle Hawk. Or the Airbus Caracal.

It looks like it's pretty much impossible to leave and then re-enter the aircraft. Not a big deal but would be a nice.

I noticed the same. It used to be OK, with the three letter code present but not anymore, only the distance to the station.

Just bought the Mi-8, and I am wondering if it's possible to "hide" or "remove" the flight crew (the three pilots) from the helicopter (exterior view) so that it looks really cold and dark from the outside. I found the key combo called "Leave helicopter" which is Right Ctrl+E three times and it indeed removes the pilots from the unit however I cannot find a way to re-enter the helicopter afterwards. What I want to achieve is a perfectly cold and dark aircraft without anyone inside at the start of the mission.

Hello, I am wondering if canopy rain effects will be added to the Gazelle? Cheers!

Will you model the canopy raindrop effects please?

Noticed there is basically little or no sound of the canopy closing and opening. I guess it has to do with the fact the aircraft is till in E/A though.

I was planning to practice low visibility AWLS approaches in Kutaisi but shortly after taking off and entering the clouds, I found that the HUD is basically unreadable despite brightness set to maximum. I am wondering how one is supposed to perform an "ALL WEATHER LANDING" when the most essential system, the HUD is unreadable. Did I miss some steps turning on / adjusting something or at the current state it's really this bad? If it's not something that I missed then I have to conclude that the Razbam Harrier is currently not certified for low visibility approaches simply because the HUD isn't readable under certain conditions. EDIT: I have checked the HUD of the Hornet in the exact same mission therefore same weather conditions, and the Hornet's HUD is perfectly readable. So it's the Harrier's HUD not yet up to standards, making it currently impossible to perform a proper low visibility approach despite the aircraft being equipped with AWLS - due to HUD readability.

Will you guys finally add pilot body to the Mig 21 please?
