  2. Are you sure that you installed the FIX correctly after the last update ? And are you using the Normal HDR setting?
  3. I reported it as bug/design-flaw : Inconsistent FF Tune setting across modules that leads to confusion
  4. Settings to make the MSSWFFB2 Joystick work correctly : ED - Ka-50: [DCS World]>>[Options] >> [Controls] >> [Layer: Ka-50 Sim - Axis Commands] : MSFFB2 : Y axis assigned as Pitch - X axis assigned as Roll >> [FF Tune] : Swap axis = Checked Invert X = Un-Checked Invert Y = Un-Checked BST - UH-1H (beta 1.2.6.18651): [DCS World]>>[Options] >> [Controls] >> [Layer: UH-1H Sim - Axis Commands] : MSFFB2 : Y axis assigned as Pitch - X axis assigned as Roll >> [FF Tune] : Swap axis = Checked Invert X = Un-Checked Invert Y = Un-Checked BST - Mi-8MTV2 (beta 1.2.6.18651): [DCS World]>>[Options] >> [Controls] >> [Layer: Mi-8MTV2 - Axis Commands] : MSFFB2 : Y axis assigned as Pitch - X axis assigned as Roll >> [FF Tune] : Swap axis = Checked Invert X = Checked Invert Y = Checked - why the change between modules? ...,is this necessary ? see this thread as reverence : Cant set force feedback. and this : Reversed FFB
  5. Which module/helicopter/your exact settings ? -whatever- Correct axis assignment/FF-Tune setting when followed my re-wiring instructions for the bottom MSSWFFB2 mechanism to the dot: Ka-50: [DCS World]>>[Options] >> [Controls] >> [Layer: Ka-50 Sim - Axis Commands] : Top MSFFB2 : Y axis assigned as Pitch - X axis assigned as Roll >> [FF Tune] : Swap axis = Checked Invert X = Un-Checked Invert Y = Un-Checked Bottom MSFFB2: No axis assigned >> [FF Tune] : Swap axis = Checked Invert X = Un-Checked Invert Y = Un-Checked UH-1H (beta 1.2.6.18651): [DCS World]>>[Options] >> [Controls] >> [Layer: UH-1H Sim - Axis Commands] : Top MSFFB2 : Y axis assigned as Pitch - X axis assigned as Roll >> [FF Tune] : Swap axis = Checked Invert X = Un-Checked Invert Y = Un-Checked Bottom MSFFB2: No axis assigned >> [FF Tune] : Swap axis = Checked Invert X = Un-Checked Invert Y = Un-Checked Mi-8MTV2 (beta 1.2.6.18651): [DCS World]>>[Options] >> [Controls] >> [Layer: Mi-8MTV2 - Axis Commands] : Top MSFFB2 : Y axis assigned as Pitch - X axis assigned as Roll >> [FF Tune] : Swap axis = Checked Invert X = Checked Invert Y = Checked Bottom MSFFB2: No axis assigned >> [FF Tune] : Swap axis = Checked Invert X = Checked Invert Y = Checked Bud/design-flaw Report >>> Inconsistent FF Tune setting across modules that leads to confusion
  6. This is wrong. The Roll/Pitch/Yaw and altitude (Barometric pressure only) autopilot channel are adjusted by depressing/releasing the trim button.
  7. Mod A: Use Tape to cover the photocell that detects if a hand is on the stick. Result: Motors are always powered. Mod B: cutt the wires that goes to the photocell completely and remove it and put in a switch to power the motors on/off. Result: Motors are powered when I want it. I use Mod B
  8. What happened: It looks for a file ( Middle_Click-able_Radio_Menu.exe) in its own folder where it is executed and can't find. Why: You moved the "Calibration_Tool.exe." out of the "Clickable Radio Menu for DCS World" folder. Example: Do you expect that DCS or any other program starts correctly when you move its *.exe out of the 'program' folder elsewhere and just click on it?! Another example: (to give you a better idea what all these *.exe files do ,while "sitting" in the same folder) Lets assume you placed you right arm in the bathroom while you are still in bed in the sleeping room. ... Can you still advise your right arm to scratch your butt? ...further: If your right arm is able to scratch something... Can you right arm reach your butt ?! Solution: Only place short-cuts (right-click > create short-cut) elsewhere (as written in the readme) - don't move the *.exe files out of their working directory.

  19. Make sure you are in the right Layer. Means: What you set up for "UH-1H Sim" wont work when you fly in Game mode , and what you have set up for "UH-1H Game" wont work in full simulation mode. If this isn't your problem - please check this sticky: corrupt calibration? crazy joystick response? Use this tools Fix it: It contains a instruction how to set up your profiles to default. Btw: This is anyway needed after the update to 1.2.6 [/url] >> Sticky: Some notes on v.1.2.6
  20. The standing out urban areas where most noticeable for me in the spring time. (see my first Gif) And keep in mind that I may use a different HDR setting and also a different SweetFX settings as you . But I made all edits with the default Normal HDR and without SweetFx to ensure highest possible 'cross-compatibility'. :) -whatever- Thanks for your work! I have now a very good guess how much time you did put into it up to now and how hard it is to find a good balance within the limitation of the engine.
  21. Hi Toby I hope this post don't offends you - it's just a well-meant criticism done in good faith. I enjoyed your texture mod very much from day 1 , but I also enjoy to fly helicopters in valleys in not such urban areas. But the buildings and fields in your textures looked sometimes very misplaced and killed the immersion for me . So I took the best from both worlds - your Hi-res textures and the 'low and slow' - and merged them together so there are no urban leftovers in them. I also re-edited the colour-balance - so the urban districts doesn't stand out so much against the base texture and blend better in. Have a look - I hope this gives you some inspiration for your future work: (BTW: I use noise1PerSquare = 3.0; in the DCS World\Config\terrain\High.lua) Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/b2fm789bkc8xb6s/new_seasonal_vfstextures_without_fields_and_buldings.rar
  22. The control helper is something like a own autopilot that tries to stabilize the helicopter for a even and smooth flight . So it shifts your control-inputs to accomplish this goal. It's for people that need help to fly stable - you can also call it "Easy-Flight-Mode".
