Wow, that looks pretty amazing. Thanks.

Congratulations VA staff on your debut Air Show. I did enjoy every minute of it. Unfortunately I wasn't able to see the Blue Angels. Hopefully next year at your 2 Year Anniversary? Good job done on a terrific show. Edit: I was able to catch the Angels in their show on my Ipad. Amazing flying.

Wow Upuaut, you work fast. Thank you very much. This skin is totally awesome.

Hi Upuaut, Please do finish it. It looks great already. Can't wait utill it's done. Awesome. You are doing a great job. Really like your work. Razorback

Oops, wrong threat I think. Should go to Skin Request.

I have found another photo It is a 25 Year Anniverary livery for the HTG 64 (Hubschrauber Transport Geschwader) which was on the 22nd of September 1984.

@ Upuaut Is it possible for you to make another Huey skin on request? Last time you made the 101st Hikotai skin for me, which I still adore. I have found a photo of a rare German SAR UH-1D. I don't know the exact color codes, but since you did a cracking job on the Hikotai skin, I bet you can pull this off :smilewink: Can you please take a look at this? Thanks in advance, Razorback

The way the throttle works has been changed with the latest update. You need to open the throttle first with you mouse or keyboard to be able to get it past the idle detent button. After that the throttle will respond to the axis you have assigned it to. To shut down the engine roll the throttle down untill you can't go further, then push the idle detent button on the collective and close the throttle further with your mouse or keyboard. The throttle range from 100% to idle is still work in progress. It is either on or off in this range.

Quite frankly, I will be very happy with EVERY chopper Belsimtek will throw at us. They build it, I'll buy it, plain and simple.

I didn't know that either, until I took a closer look on that altimeter. It is indeed showing the 1000 feet as digits. Stupid of me for not seeing this. Sorry for stirring things up. Razorback

Thanks for uploading them Nickmow. Really appreciate it.

I didn't notice this until 1.2.7 was out of beta but the altimeter at the co-pilot side is missing its 1000 feet needle. The 100 feet needle is there and working fine. I don't think this is mentioned before in other posts.

That would be awesome. A nice C-model would be cool.

Hi Skullleader, Nickmow probably hasn't updated his skin to work with the slick version of the Huey (the one without weapon racks). You need to go into that skin folder and open the description.lua file. Copy the lines #2 to #9 and paste them within the same file. Now you should rename the pasted lines by adding civ_ in front of each line. You will then get something like this: (this is just an example with another skin!!) livery = { {"civ_uh1_main_dam", 0, "uh1.bmp",false}; {"civ_uh1_main_dam", 2, "uh1_spec.bmp",true}; {"civ_uh1_tail_dam", 0, "uh1_tail.bmp",false}; {"civ_uh1_tail_dam", 2, "uh1_tail_spec.bmp",true}; {"civ_uh1_main", 0, "uh1.bmp",false}; {"civ_uh1_main", 2, "uh1_spec.bmp",true}; {"civ_uh1_tail", 0, "uh1_tail.bmp",false}; {"civ_uh1_tail", 2, "uh1_tail_spec.bmp",true}; {"uh1_main_dam", 0, "uh1.bmp",false}; {"uh1_main_dam", 2, "uh1_spec.bmp",true}; {"uh1_tail_dam", 0, "uh1_tail.bmp",false}; {"uh1_tail_dam", 2, "uh1_tail_spec.bmp",true}; {"uh1_main", 0, "uh1.bmp",false}; {"uh1_main", 2, "uh1_spec.bmp",true}; {"uh1_tail", 0, "uh1_tail.bmp",false}; {"uh1_tail", 2, "uh1_tail_spec.bmp",true}; {"uh1_weapon", 0, "uh1_weapon.bmp",true}; {"pilot_UH1", 0, "pilot_uh1_bw.bmp",false}; {"pilot_UH1_helmet", 0, "pilot_uh1_helmet_b.bmp",false}; {"pilot_UH1_patch", 0, "pilot_UH1_patch_.tga",false}; {"Gunner_UH1", 0, "gunner_uh1_bw.bmp",false}; {"uh1_cov", 0, "uh1-es-un_cover.bmp",false}; {"SPH-4B", 0, "gunner_uh1_helmet.bmp",false}; {"uh1_rotor_alfa", 0, "uh_1_blade.tga",false}; {"UH1-cpt-door", 0 ,"UH1_door_c_gray",true}; {"UH1-cpt_karkas", 0 ,"UH1_karkas_c_gray",true}; {"UH1-cpt_karkas2", 0 ,"UH1_karkas2_c_gray",true}; {"UH1-cpt_panel", 0 ,"UH1_panel_c_gray",true}; {"UH1-cpt_central_box", 0 ,"UH1_boxs_c_gray",true}; {"UH1-cpt_dev2", 0 ,"UH1_dev_2",true}; The skin should work now. BTW: Do you have the skin mentioned in the first post? Can you upload it for me as an attachment?

Hi Nickmow, I was actually refering to the Air Ambulance in your first post. I quess that is the one used in the VA server but I am not sure. Do you have a link for that one also? Thanks again, Razorback

@ Nickmow Can you tell me where I can dowload the Air Ambulance skin? I think it is being used on the Virtual Aerobatics server but I cannot find this skin anywhere. Thanks in advance, Razorback

I think this is done by design. The same happens in the Huey. Both views are different. You can change this in c:/username/saved games/dcs (or dcs.openbeta)/config/view/snapviews.lua Scroll down to the aircraft you want to change. Position 1 and 2 are for the pilot and co-pilot. You should change the Default, this is your cockpit view.

The MiG-21Bis for me please. Merry Xmas to you all !!

Thanks for all the responses guys. I quess a GTX780 it will be than. I will try to get me one this saterday. What exactly is the big difference between the GTX780 and the GTX780Ti?

I am looking to spend somewhere bewteen €500 and €1000. I desperately want my DCS MP experience to increase. I hate it when a helicopter comes in my field of view and I get a slideshow FPS because of his rotor downwash dustcloud. I do not want to decrease the graphic settings anymore. I want the whole 9 yards.

Hi all, It is that time again where I need to do a serious investment in my PC. My current GPU's are really old for todays standards. I can't even play COD Ghosts because the cards are not supported by that game. Based on the specs in my signature, what would be a good replacement GPU for my old GTX280's. My main goal is to give DCS World a performance boost. I am not sure if I should stick to Nvidia or switch to ATI. Not even sure if I want Sli again because there are currently so few games which support it. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I also suffer from what it seems to be laggy controls. The movement of the virtual controls do not match with the movement of the real life controls. When flying offline, everything is perfect. Near 1:1 controls, but when I host my own public server, the control lag starts. I lowered the scene on my server, but that doesn't change a thing at all. Still lag. Any thoughts about this? Thanks.

No that does not help. The cockpit text textures are also bound to the exterior textures. I believe the A-10C had the same thing when it was released. Later it was being changed so if you lowered the texture quality the cockpit textures were not affected, only the outside textures.

Hi all, When selecting low textures in the options menu the textures in the cockpit of the Mi-8 are very blurred making it impossible to read the markings at each switch (also with the english cockpit mod). Will the Mi-8 eventually also get individual outside and inside texture settings, like all other modules did? Meaning when selecting low settings the cockpit stays readable and all other textures are lowered.

You have to delete the snapview.lua file in c:\documents\user\your name\saved games\dcs\view. Once you start DCS again a new file will be automatically created with new default snap views.
