Well it seems i can't join any server at all now. I've reinstalled dcs so have a clean install. I managed to join a server yesterday but today i get'connection interrupted' every time.

Ah. Looks like I may be one update ahead of you, I'll have to wait until you update unless there is any way of rolling back.

It seems the 104 server is the place to be at the minute. Is there something I am doing wrong as I can't connect to it at all and keep getting 'connection interrupted.' The only mod I'm using is the visibility mod, does this matter?

Sorry must have missed it in the first post. Great campaign!

How are you meant to finish the mission and progress if you eject? As soon as you eject you can't use the radio.

That's the one. It make dcs world so much more realistic being able to see towns and features in the distance rather than them popping up into view. Use the graphics lua file Mustang added on post 80 instead until the mod gets updated.

Thanks Mastiff, it was the visibility mod. It turns out there is a new graphics lua file that needed replacing. Everything is back to normal now:thumbup:

Does anyone else have missing textures since 1.2.14? The main ones I've noticed so far are for the SU24, AIM 7 missiles and the rocket pod for KA50. All I get is the orange 'texture missing' skin.

I've spent quite a while getting to grips with this aircraft and can now use it fairly well so I thought I'd give the campaign a go. Anyone else find it all wrong having a Russian fighter on the US side fighting against Canadian and Australian aircraft on the Russian side:huh: I'm a few missions in but I can't relate to it at all. Why couldn't the devs have have made a typical Russia vs USA type campaign?

Did you turn the landing autopilot off before you touched down? I've tried the auto landing a few times now and it seems you have to disconnect it for the final 50 metres or so and land manually.

I've only just got this the other day so forgive me if this has already been asked, I've searched but can't find an answer. The question is why are there 2 rpm needles on a single engined jet?

Not even 24 hours after I buy it at full price it goes on sale at half price !!!!!!:mad:

Thanks, didn't think about doing it that way. All working now.

I really wanted to buy this module tonight but it seems the download link in the E shop is for version 1.2.12 (my dcs is version 1.2.14). Just in case the devs didn't realise and so they can get it sorted for me to buy it:)

Thanks for all the replies. I remembered I've got an old usb stick in the loft not doing anything. There isn't any problem tearing it apart and rewiring new switches is there?

I want to make a simple spring loaded switch that i can use for zooming in and out without having to use any of the buttons on my warthog. Any idea how i would go about making something like this cheaply?

I used a car stereo amp i had sitting in the loft for years coupled to an aura bass shaker screwed to the underside of my chair. I powered it with ac to dc converter and used a 3.5mm to rca cable that i plugged into the bass output of my 5.1 audio card. Works really well and is far cheaper than a buttkicker.

It's very easy to replicate. While flying turn the main autopilot breaker of and then on again. Then switch the pitch/roll channel back on and see how it handles.

I'm not sure if you are quite understanding what is going on here. I can fly the mi8 just fine, the trouble comes when you try and lift a lot of weight and the generators cut out which in turn shuts off the stability system. You can switch the stability back on but the pitch channel isn't right unless you turn it back on when the heli is completely level. Do you need to be level in the real thing?

Yes the centre channel. The one that doesn't have an off button.

I've done a bit of testing today. It seems that if the stability system gets switched off in flight you need to be on level ground before you switch it back on again otherwise it will be set at whatever attitude you are at when it's switched back on. Not sure if this is what happens with the real thing or not.

I was playing one of the campaign missions today, the one at night where you need to evacuate wounded from a convoy that had been attacked. Once the heli was loaded I tried taking off vertically but it was far too heavy. I eventually got in the air by running along the road to get some transitional lift but I must have pulled to much pitch as the stability system switched off. I got it switched back on again but every couple of minutes the heli would pitch up and id have to use some forward sick to get it level again. Any reason for this? All other channels worked as normal apart from pitch.

Thanks for the replies. Not sure what I was doing wrong but they are working just fine now.

Are these supposed to be working yet? I can get the other gun pods to work but can't get the UPK's to fire at all.

The throttle used to work fine but after the last update it's gone a bit wrong. I have it mapped to the slider on the TM warthog throttle and it won't do anything until I press pageup until it goes to full throttle. After this the slider works perfectly. I have deleted and reconfigured my keyboard and joystick controls with no change.
