Looking forward to how it works after a few more flight hours. I was hoping that it would make flying the choppers better and more immersive. Time will tell. Thanks for the quick review. Hope there are more to read before mine ships.

Two different reviews with two vastly different takes. The one by Thermal seems to be more detailed, but also disappointing. The reason I got this was for more realism but if it doesn't have the precision necessary to fly a helicopter with FINE control, not sure what I'll do.

I too just tied a hot start and a cold start. Bombs drop in a hot start but not a cold start. I haven't tried the method suggested by Karupstock.

As the title states. I can fire unguided rockets, both kinds of Pods, and the ATGM but I can't drop the bombs. Do you "jettison" them after using the jettison arming switch? Thanks Forgot to tag to follow

I am trying to update from 2.5.6.xxx to 2.7 and keep getting an error that I don't have enough free space. it says it needs 310,677 MB. I have squeezed about all I could out of my 1 TB drive and am still about 3,000 MB shy. Is this truly the amount needed. What do people do who have a500 GB drive? TIA

Me again. Downloaded v1.4 and did some test today with the squad. Didn't have enough pilots to actual test dropping ordnance from multiple planes, but it did allow 3 pilots to get in gazelle and designate something. Also it looks like if I am in slot 1 and exit I can't rejoin in slot 1. However, Slot 2 can join Slot 1 and Slot 1 can join Slot 2 and we can both designate. I did note that is some cases the GM12 hit a target close to the one I was lasing, but not the one I was lasing. Hope to do more test. I need to learn how to actually drop from an 18 when someone else is designating.

Thanks CakeSobus. I'll download the new version and try and test over the weekend. Skalute!

CakeSorbus, I built a little test mission and put 4 Gazelle Ms in it. I tested each one separate and all seem to work iirc. However, tonight we did a test with 3 and 4 in the Gazelles and only 2 of them would work. the others would show the menu, but F5 would not designate. Is there a limit on the number of Gazelles that can lase? Could the problem be in us joining the choppers to close together (i.e., within 30 seconds of each other? Thanks

THAT is the step I was missing. THANKS once again.

CakeSorbus, Just got through doing a test with 4 pilots, one Gazelle. Worked pretty smooth. I have some things that I need to workout in learning how it works, and setting up my controls (the radio menu is the friendliest for those in VR). Overall I think I would say like the chef guy says "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" This has breathed life back into the Gazelle, while waiting for the KW

If AI, have one unit there with units running, after 5 minutes, de-spawn that one and spawn in one to take off. Not the most elegant,

CakeSorbus, Thanks for the response. I have a test mission constructed and hope to test with the Squad tonight. Another question. Once I have built the mission, it looks like I have to go into the miz file and edit the script there, and not the one I have in the Script folder. Is that correct, or am I doing something wrong. I am new to including scripts, and haven't done much ME in YEARS. Thanks,

Thanks!

Looking forward to trying this. A couple of questions: 1) do you place this in the Scripts folder, or the Scripts/Hooks folder? 2) will this work with other scripts such as CTLD, MOOSE, MIST? 3) What do I enter in the DO SCRIPT field? "GazDESIGNATOR"? I thnk it is just do script file command. Thanks,

DUH on my part. Thought I had seen that, but someone on DCS Discord said that it didn't have to be. Another question for my edification (just getting started down the scripting/Lua/ME rabbit hole). I know that some things like MOOSE are integrated into the MIZ files directly and the host doesn't need to install it (or that is my understanding). SSB isn't designed that way. What are the considerations/advantages/problems avid by doing in this method. As you can tell, I haven't a clue of what the difference is between Script and Scripts/folder, but assume you have good reason for this and I'm trying to learn. Thanks for the time, and THANKS for SSB. **************************************************** EDIT ******************************************** Grimes answered my question on Discord. The two folders Scripts and Scripts/HOOKS are operate on different environments. Thanks all ********************************************************************************************

This probably has been asked, but does the host need SSB in the Scripts\Hooks folder once a mission is made, or is SBB integrated into the mission? Thanks,

Thanks for all the effort!!

Pilot and co-pilot in VR will be a BLAST. Flat screen will be a balst!

I don't and can't disagree. Fly for fun!

While true, I tend to look at it as I have something to fly. Do they have issues? Yes! Did I pay a beta? Yes. Does that make me a ED/DCS "fanboy" Who knows, I AM a fanboy of flight sims PERIOD. DCS, X-Plane 11, Battle of Stalingrad, Flying Circus, MSFS 202, and Falcon 4 BMS. Does this mean I'm a good pilot? Oh h#$l no!

AH-64x is a day one pre-order for me. been flying some form of the Apache since Micorprose(R) Gunship, Gunship 2000, Jane's Longbow, and longbow 2. Got the Ka-50 in 2008 and remember when the AH-64A was part of planned releases way back when. One question. Is there official conformation o that it is the AJH-64 AND that it is the D besides the video. Did ED state somewhere that the video would announce the "secret" module?

HI, Just got through flying the DCS F-16 in the G2. One thing I noticed is that the three distance rings on the HSD each consist of a blue and red ring, whereas flat panel squad mates see purple. If I move my head and look a certain way, I can line the blue and red rings up to show purple. Does anyone else see this? Is this normal,? Do I have something out of alignment,? Also, for me the Sweet spot/area of focus seems EXTREMLY small. If I move my eyes just a little with out moving my head, things get blurry quickly. I don't remember seeing that on my Rift S. Thanks for the input/responses.

I haven't watched the video link above, so that may answer it. You need three things: 1) WMR Protal app (Windows), 2) Steam VR (Steam), and 3) WMR for SteamVR (Steam). EDIT: OK, I watch the video and it has a lot of good information. What he doesn't cover si that you will need the three items listed above installed to launch DCS. I run DCS stand alone and NOT through steam. Good luck!

Quick question. I just got a HP Reverb G2 and want to keep my Rift S connected for a bit. Can I set the Utility up to launch the G2 when I want to. Can it be set up such that I can choose which to launch? Thanks,

Thanks, Will have to try.
