Great photos What is the reason for the different painting colours? Some are light green, others nearly as dark as the 160th´s helos.

For those of you waiting like me for the release of the CH-47 there might be an interesting read: Razor 03 by Alan Mack. He served in the 160th SOAR as an MH-47 pilot, finally as a CW5 and was personally involved in quite some epic missions. Many of them took place in Iraq and Afghanistan: - He inserted ODA 595 aka the "Horse soldiers" who became famous when they assisted General Dostum overthrow the Taliban in Oct 2001 in the north. They flew from Karshi-Khanabad (K2) in Usbekistan (should be modeled in the map, please!) through incredible weather conditions in extreme altitudes and suffered from Hypoxia. Sometimes they only got through by using their terrain following radar because they had nearly zero visibility in sandstorms. - When the US tried to get Bin Laden at Tora Bora in 2001, he and his company assisted the teams on the ground. - He was the pilot of the MH-47 Callsign Razor 03, from which Navy SEAL Neil Roberts fell off the ramp when they came under intense enemy fire on Takur Ghar Mountain during Operation Anaconda in 2002. Alan achieved a masterful emergency landing several miles away with his severely damaged and nearly unflyable helicopter. That whole event became famous as the "Battle of Robert´s Ridge". - Later he was involved in the rescue attempts of Bowe Bergdahl and the "Lone Survivor" of Op Red Wings in 2005. You can read the book but you can also watch him in an interview with former Apache pilot Ryan Fugit on YouTube: or in this podcast with Ex Navy SEAL Andy Stumpf: Absolutely recommended for all fans of the 160th and the Chinook, have fun!

First of all, thank you for this most anticipated map! I like it very much and can´t wait to fly more missions in it, especially in the coming eastern part. Just flew a dawn raid mission with helos and found it slightly disturbing that even the remotest villages had all houses lightened up. That was not the case IRL... Maybe you could deactivate the electricity in the villages. That would improve the immersion, thank you.

Hmmm, that was turned to "OFF". Exactly what i was looking for, thank you very much I couldn´t find this in the start up section of the manual. Maybe you could add this in a future update to the check list? Anyway thanks a lot for this nice and long awaited helicopter! It´s a joy to fly and I am looking forward to learning the systems

When flying a route the MFD / HSD shows the active route correctly as "1 ME" (Mission editor) on the right and the route with its waypoints is shown on the HSD. But when passing a waypoint the waypoint ID never changes automatically to the next one. I tried it several times and flew directly over the WP. I always had to change it manually with the "next point" button. I even asked Casmo but he told me it should change automatically. Any idea what I missed? Or is it a bug?

We´ll need this for the Bin Laden mission! They refueled the MH-60 on the extraction in a remote location in northern PAK with a MH-47 acting as Fat Cow.

Add: K2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karshi-Khanabad_Air_Base), played a role during the Soviet-Afghan war, later on as a base for CSAR assets and the 160th SOAR (MH-47) during the initial phase of Operation Enduring Freedom. They launched the first US Special Forces ODA´s insertion from there who later became famous as the "Horse soldiers". Add: PAF Base Shahbaz near Jacobabad / PAK. The Shahbaz Air Base (co-located with the commercial airport in Jacobabad) was one of three Pakistani air bases used by U.S. and allied forces to support the Operation Enduring Freedom campaign in Afghanistan and reportedly ongoing drone strikes in North Western Pakistan tribal regions.

Yes please We need a model of UBL´s house, a mod for the CH-47 (becoming a MH-47) and last but not least a mod of the mod (UH-60 becoming the stealth MH-60). Hopefully the CH-47 will be able to act as "Fat Cow" to refuel the other helos on the Extraction route.

HH-60 / MH-60. Given the enormous positive feedback of the UH-60 Mod it would be rewarding for ED or a 3rd party to offer an official module. Endless options for missions: Troop transport, cargo transport, aerial refueling, Special Forces insertion / extraction, CSAR, MEDEVAC... Maybe even fast rope and winch operations if they develop this.

Ich habe bei ihm eine 15cm-Verlängerung und die Abdeckungen bestellt. Kam nach wenigen Tagen, gut verpackt, alles bestens. Er war auch gut zu erreichen, wenn ich per Mail Nachfragen hatte. Qualität war sehr gut.

Hi Snappy, I fly night missions quite often, Special Operations especially with low level flying. It´s not easy with the NVG´s of the MI-8 but it´s possible, even with GPS, if you turn all the lights down. You have to use the three pairs of light controllers, which you know for sure and additionally the 5.5V controller behind the right pilot´s seat (see attachment). I wish we had something like the UH-60 / MH-60 in DCS, but for the time being the MI-8 is the best compromise, I think. I mapped the NVG adjustment to the toggle switch of my Thrustmaster F/A-18 grip. This is very useful. Do you have any idea how to simulate an IR strobe for LZ markings? It is difficult to see green smoke at night...

Hi, I´m looking for realistic helicopter controls (cyclic and collective). At the moment I fly with TM Warthog+15 cm Extension (Sahaj) and TM WH Throttle as collective. Now I would like to improve my hardware... Has anyone experience with controls by microhelis.de? https://shop.microhelis.de/OH-58D Can anyone compare them to Komodo´s controls? Thanks so far!

+1:) What I would like to fly is a modern, powerful and versatile helo.
