I've asked this before, but after seeing the grease mark on Polychop's OH-58, I'd like to request it again. Can we get a grease mark on the window (option even) for the Huey, in both seats? Any gun pilot worth his salt would not rely only on the gunsight.

Still not technically true in the US Army. See here: https://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jobs/become-an-officer/army-officer-jobs.html You can see in the paragraph about Warrant Officers that they are not commissioned as WO1s, but when they are promoted to CW2 and beyond, they are given a commission by POTUS.

There is little to no effect of rockets on the flight properties due to recoil. This is because the back of the rocket tubes are open. The rocket thrust pushes against the retention tang inside the tube until tube until it’s overcome, and releases the rocket to fly from the tube. The reason too many rockets fired at once can cause engine flameout is because the exhaust gasses can starve the engines of oxygen when they are present in too high of volume. It has little to do with the rockets’ aerodynamic affect on the engines.

Any update on this? Any chance it will be fixed for BS3?

If the helicopter keeps pitching down, then it may be related. If the helicopter maintains pitch, and descends, it’s more than likely because you haven’t adjusted the collective to maintain your altitude for your given pitch setting. Straight and level in a helicopter is all about balancing your control inputs.

Yeah, I now use an Index for sims, and a wireless Vive Pro for roomscale stuff. Just seems like a waste that this thing is sitting around, doing nothing, so thought I'd see if anyone else wanted it. I actually just put it on eBay as well, as I figured it wouldn't hurt. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Oculus-Rift-Touch-Virtual-Reality-Headsets-with-Touch-Controllers-Black/254556465753?epid=24028670048&hash=item3b44bf6a59:g:da0AAOSwoSxeg3QW

New, lightly used, still in original packaging. Located in the US. PayPal only, asking $525 plus shipping. PM if interested. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254556540050

For sale, used Oculus CV1. Rubber parts of band had some slight discoloration which wiped off with some alcohol on a paper towel. Bottom part of foam has some slight tears in it, most likely due to me setting it on my Warthog throttle when not in use. Lenses/optics have no issues, and touch controllers/sensors work fine. Located in the US. Asking $180 plus shipping for the set, PayPal only, PM if interested.

Nice little mod. Just flew a couple patterns with it. Feels pretty good for a generic flight model. I have only a few hours in smaller helos, most of my time is in bigger ones, but I feel like the pitch and roll is a little less stable IRL. The torque effect feels spot on, though. Fun to mess around with, and would be awesome if completely fleshed out.

So far no dice. I rolled back to 2.5.5 to play the Jagdflieger campaign with some semblance of performance on my rig, so I have the additional benefit of the old sound system, but still interested in having a version that works with the latest version. Or, it would be great if ED natively had german voices for the Third Reich country choice.

Thanks!

Same issues here with performance on 2.5.6. Kind of regretting waiting to fly it until now, as I really like the new Shark cockpit, and the lighting with 2.5.6, but just itching to fly this campaign primarily. I went ahead and rolled back to 2.5.5, and just as Reflected mentioned, the performance difference is ridiculous. I still had some pretty extreme slowdown once the B17s started shooting on MSN4 (8700k, 1080ti, and Valve Index), but it was actually playable for the most part. I used the F10 unit reduction as well for a good comparison with my attempt to fly it with 2.5.6. I was able to make a couple of frontal attacks, and get one kill. There is a noticeable difference in how the game engine looks (probably due to lighting) between 2.5.5 and 2.5.6. Hopefully the performance drop with 2.5.6 isn't a permanent thing that forces us to wait for a computer 2 generations from now to enjoy this campaign with the latest version.

For some reason the A-4 shows up on random mission briefings for missions it isn't involved in (ie, F-14 instant action). Is there a way to fix this without uninstalling the mod?

I'm going to mess with it too.

Also looking to get this mod working again. Right when I decide to try the Jagdflieger campaign...

Definitely second this. Until DCS gets accurate radio voices for WW2 Germany, it would be nice to be able to use the user mods correctly.

How about a good F-14 AB curve? Anyone have a good one yet?

Hello all, This is my second extension I've ordered from Sahaj, and can't be happy enough. I've moved on from the Warthog to a Brunner CLS-E, and subsequently picked up a Realsimulator F-16GRH. The issue with the RS grip is that the connecting nut is slightly different from the Warthog, and was not compatible with Sahaj's extension. I sent him an email with pictures, and a request to build me a modified extension that would fit with the RS grip. He replied quickly, and without hesitation to build the custom extension. Everything works great, and just as expected. Thanks!

Both sold.

It's a controller. It has encoders, and buttons. Honestly, it's great for what it's designed for, but since I started using VR exclusively, and picked up PtCtrl, I'm tired of trying to fumble for switches. The item works great. No issues. Listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254508270159 The picture is upside down, not sure why. It's right side up on eBay.

For sale on eBay, two 1080p 8" monitors used for external MFD viewing. I had a couple of Thrustmaster MFD Cougars velcro'd to them, so there's a little cosmetic wear (sticky stuff). Anyway, they work fine. I just don't use them anymore since I use VR. Listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254508278206

I have two sets of MFD Cougars up for sale. One set is a little more bare bones than the other. See listings below. I've tested all 4, and they all worked without issue. Bare Bones: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254508254878 Full(er) set: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254508256965
