Can confirm, ABRIS map movement is very ruff atm.

Time flies by!

Did you turn Flight Director mode off? Think FD fights auto hover mode.. Just flew a MP server on Caucasus, auto hover was rock solid.

I can confirm this.

The two left for Cutoff with the red hats in the BS cockpit. The third from left as rotor brake with a black top hat. Far right as gear lever. You can change Virpil axis to a button command in their software. You could also use the two left ad the yellow power levers in cockpit. You can pretty much map those levers to whatever you want. The Virpil software can do it. Same for VKB.

A 100 % with you. I misunderstood your post. Option for less Vhikrs per rack needs to be implemented.

Me too, new color looks awesome. I'd love to have different filters though. That would be slick.

May I ask why we need less Vikhrs per rack? It clearly has six per side like we do have in game.

I can see the Stinger on both pictures, if its the dude running left just above the caging box.

Doing a manual startup I can't press / activate two of the autopilot buttons. Think it is bank and heading... thats broken for sure.

Personal preference I know but flying the Apache with George AI is a no go for me, no matter how good the AI CPG is. Switching seats kills immersion aswell. Flying the Tomcat, Apache, Hind, etc with a human copilot is perfection but I can't bring myself using an AI interface.

RL KA 50 screen. I like the new color. Lots of sun reflections though which makes it hard to see stuff sometimes.

I hope people using a keyboard for yaw axis stop posting in helicopter flight model threads. That would be a good start...

The Apache FM is really bad, collective and anti torque way too jumpy. Unstable in roll at hover. Everything feels instant, like lack of inertia. It just doesn't settle on an attitude like the other helos we have. It wanders without inputs even if perfectly trimmed out. I hate to say this but it's the closest FM to the Gazelle in game. That thing is packed with high tech stability systems, it should hover like a rock. The Mi 8, Mi 24, Ka 50, even the Huey hover like a proper helicopter. Zero issues with them. The mighty Apache is a pain to operate at low speeds and it is the most advanced of the bunch. I am expecting big FM changes in the future, otherwise it's a joke.

I know what you mean by now, that doesn't change the fact that the Hind kicks uncontrolable at certain situations. I don't buy that we have to trim in small increments only, neither do I believe we have to hold the trim button pressed during a maneuver. If you hold trim pressed you get the wobble at the beginning (AP disconnects) and not on the exit when you release. Tell a RL Mi 24 pilot he only can trim in small increments and / or keep pressing the trim button till he has done his maneuver. He will have a good laugh. And no Hind kicks up or down after trimming IRL, it's dangerous and not correct. The AP in DCS should reset to the current attitude after trimming but it still uses the attitude before trimming. Reading this is already weird and wrong.

I do the same, trim mostly after a hard maneuver but the AP bug remains. Still no fix, just flew her for an hour. Such a bummer...

Instant trim is not for FFB sticks only and it doesn't "double" your input. You have to bring the stick back to centre pretty quick, if you miss those 0,4 seconds or so, you sure get some extra momentum because your stick is still pointed in that direction you trimmed. Central position trim option is the same except you decide how fast you return the stick back to center after trimming. You simply can't give another input as long as the stick hasn't been moved back to center.

The Hind trim doesn't work like it should period. All other helos in DCS work fine. The aircraft is clearly overshooting the trim command.

Just give us a water injection toggle command to use as a button press.

Same, let us cage and uncage with a button command.

Thanks Nine!

It's all right mate... what a statement. We fly Mustangs only, hundrets of hours SoW and now 4YA. If we and others say stealth belts are not as effective as tracers it's a fact. The difference is not even close. There is always the option to not post in a thread. For some reason you need to share your opinion on everything...

Combat Mix and AG belts do good damage on enemy aircraft. Stealth belts barely can put an aircraft down. They stream, smoke, loose parts, etc but they survive way to many hits. They catch almost never fire too. Can you guys just please give the No tracer belts the same ammo mix like in the tracer belts. No idea what ammo type is missing but it might be API.

Same, any progress in sight regarding NS430 with working radio comms?

I was under the impression it works as a radio but after reading a few threads it's not. The product description is wrong and misleading. My guess is the NS430 won't be touched by ED again. No progress since years.
