no update on my part, but I'm also in the same situation as yours fam

I tried lots of aircraft but ended up with the huey, awesome helo.

I know textures are important but on the long run you really stop to notice, flying the older textured huey and mi-8 doesn't bother me at all anymore, and the crazy nice textures on the tomcat and the viper are of course very nice but I don't even care anymore, that's not to say that Polychop shouldn't put in more work in their textures if it could be done but to my untrained eye they honestly seem totally fine (and even really good I think), what I am looking after though is the flight model and the systems, the reason why I don't care about the textures on the aforementioned aircraft is that I enjoy flying them so much and using their systems that textures, while nice, don't matter to me as much. The gazelle on the other hand has some issues and that's why I am scared for the OH-58, I wish them the best of luck of course. Sorry for the off topic but yeah, the Oh58 is wip and isn't even released yet so don't worry about them for now, also, I don't know you, but I personally don't care about them while actually flying the module itself.

Alright, thanks a lot, just wanted to be sure.

Good evening to you all, I hope I'm not wasting anyone's time with this message but how's progress on the gazelle going ? I didn't follow very closely all the news on this module but I heard that PBR textures are going to be added and especially, a new flight model. Did I get these news right ? If so, any ETA ? Thanks in advance.

I like using the middle mouse button to activate the clickable cockpit mode (ALT-C by default) but this only works for ED and belsimtek modules (fa18, f16, ka50, a10c, uh-1 and mi8 for me) because these modules let you assign mouse buttons to enter the clickable cockpit mode, other modules (from Heatblur, Razbam and polychop) don't let you assign the mouse to this command such as (for me) the f14, ajs37, m2000c, harrier and gazelle. Maybe I'm missing something but if it's not yet implemented, I'd really like having the mouse available for this keybind.

I heard from some source that the pitching deck should come later in the early access, but don't quote me on this, I'm not sure.

I don't know if someone has already said it or if it is a bad idea or not but I always use the altitude autopilot, just smooths out the controls in my opinion, probably not the way you are meant to do it though.

I think I'll disagree with you, yes the hud is very cluttered but if you lock up the target and use the radar assisted gunsight, you will still be able to see the little aiming circle. Once you concentrate on it, it actually becomes really easy to shoot locked up targets down. Plus the gunsight is really stable so it makes it the more easier. Though I guess this was your opinion so I'm tellling you mine.

Sorry to intrude being kinda clueless on this thread but has ED already publicly stated if they are willing to push a ka50 model that hasn't really existed, yet was feasible to have been built ? Also I don't remember for sure but I do recall hearing ED say somewhere that they have contacts at kamov, who knows maybe they have information we don't and that's why I'm asking if they said anything on this matter already.

To respond to the second quote you mentioned, I wasn't talking about the mig19 module at all, I was talking about this bug, and why wasn't it patched earlier but apparently it wasn't an issue before... To respond to the first quote I'll apologize for the wrong and harsh use of words, this sentence was meant to be in singular and talking about this particular 80000ft climb bug. !!!! You can skip if you don't want to read my lame excuse!!!! Looking back on what I said I agree that it looks quite rude and sarcastic but I can assure you it wasn't the intention, I'll unfortunately throw out a unoriginal but true excuse that I had a bad day when I wrote these comments, I apologize for this and for making you lose precious time on my misconduct. Most importantly stay safe and good luck :thumbup:

I'm sorry but what ? Firstly I wasn't trashing the flight model, I was just stating out the obvious, climbing to 80000ft is quite a big flight model issue and secondly why are you saying without any proof ? The person who started the thread already gave some proof and if you still aren't satisfied, I actually downloaded the module and tried it out for myself. Without any prior training on this module I reached 20000 m (65600 feet) quite easily after dropping the tanks and engaging afterburners in your free flight mission. Then using only precise trim controls I reached a max altitude of 22660m (74343 feet). So I ask again why are you saying that I am trashing the flight model ? This is indeed a huge issue that was pointed out. Other than that I flew a bit, tried some acrobatics with this plane and everything else looked fine. Also on a side note I tested your mirage 2000 to see what was it's max altitude and it was exactly what the specifications said so good job for that plane. So here's the picture and a track, I really hope you fix this bug before you say that people have no proof and talk before knowing anything... track1.trk

sorry, when I said was removed from sale I was talking about the hawk. Also like you, I find the mig19 to be a great addition to DCS even if it is not my type of jet (I prefer more modern planes), in fact I'm still happy with any new aircarft entering the game, adds a lot of variety IMHO, BUT there are some pretty flagrant issues with this module and even if razbam has their hands full with the other two modules, couldn't they fix these pretty outrageous issues first ? The mirage 2000 and the harrier which I both own are totally OK, but this mig19 climbing to 80000 feet is kinda stupid, any sane person would wonder why this is still in the game...

haha, wtf, I don't own the mig 19 but from what I hear and from what you just showed, there seems to be some... umm... some issues you could say hehe, or maybe it is just a mig 31 in disguise ? Not gonna lie, kinda getting some DCS:hawk vibes seeing this, no wonder this module got removed from DCS...

Wow, sorry to reoppen this old discussion, but, do you think it is possible to mod a nuke for the f/a-18 or even the f16c ? Or has it been done already ?

For question 3, normally all the clickable buttons and switches could be also assigned to keybinds and hotas controls, for example on my keyboard landing gear is the key "g", radar designation is the hat on my joystick etc... I am not sure how you couldn't find these in the controls menu but be sure to check if the airplane you want to modify the keybinds in is "f16c Sim" Here's a video btw, you may skip to 5:28

Play the training mission DCS is already providing with each aircraft, they are interactive and in my opinion, no doubt the best way to start learning an aircraft, it may seem cringy to some other players but I've never ever even read the manuals, just the training missions and maybe some youtube tutorials.

Me it works fine so the only things I can recommend is first check that you really set up everything right, so watch tutorial videos or guides on the AGM-62 D/L and if you are confident it's a bug, it may be mods you installed that mess your game up, I had a bug (the ka50 cannon) that was fixed by removing the mods I had, if again it doesn't work then I can do nothing for you, it's up to ED to fix this.

No, I think it's a screenshot from Xplane11

Thank you very much, that fixed it :thumbup:

Ohh my god I'm pissed, pissed because the Easter egg isn't working for me, I pull down the handle and my gears goes down as usual, are there any instructions I missed to get the Easter egg working ? I mean, I am running the latest open beta version, got in the quick flight instant mission and pulled down my handle gear, why isn't it working ?!?!?

Thanks a lot, pretty much fixed the issue but it is still weird that my old mouse that worked fine until the update, also had this problem, I guess that's a bug like you said

I am playing with my new mouse (Logitech g502) and when I turn my mouse around the cockpit or in the external view I noticed that in all planes and at all times, the view movement stutters and "lags" but when I am in clickable cockpit mode, the cursor is perfectly smooth. The thing is that on my old cheap asus mouse, there is still this problem but it is a lot less severe, I think it may still be a bug of the newest update. Here's a video of the issue, I tried to keep my mouse movement as smooth as possible for when I move my head in the cockpit. (I don't know how great you can see this on video but the clickable cockpit cursor is perfectly smooth)

In the mission 2 I started the a10c as usual, set the radios for overlord, my flight and kobuleti atc, asked for takeoff permission and got no response, then when the message appeared on the screen midway between wpt1 and wpt2, I changed my frequency to prowler as instructed and pressed spacebar once at wpt2 but nothing was said and I got no further instructions on what to do with the convoy even after flying over it multiple times. That felt wierd having absolutely no voiceovers so I checked a playthrough and noticed that for example they exchange dialogue just before takeoff and then throughout the whole mission there are voiceovers and indications which I didn't get at all. Does someone know what I did wrong ? Thanks in advance.

Why does everyone mention how you really need to read the manual to be able to fly the aircraft? Just skip reading it and play the interactive training missions instead, with most modules they are really great and will teach you everything you need to know about correctly starting up, taking off, flying and landing, and even some of the aircraft's systems, if you really want to go in depth in some of the systems and switches and other procedures, then you can start reading some pages of the manual, but this is only once you've learnt how to fly the aircraft effectively and want to go a tad bit further. You must remember that because the training missions are interactive, they will make it much easier to assimilate everything that was said and so you'll learn much quicker than reading the manual and trying out the buttons and switches afterwards, also it's gonna be a lot less boring. Interactive training missions first, then the manual.
