Hip has been my main module for the last 3-4 months. Shame the sling loading is broken since December and some campaigns are unplayable because of it.

Any update on this game breaking bug? It's been around for over 6 months.

OP attached a track, see the top post. Is that not enough? Also there is a similar thread about a related bug where loads have 0kg weight. According to Bignewy it has been already reported but it was half a year ago and the bug is still present in both stable and openbeta builds.

They confirmed that clouds are fixed in the internal build. Hopefully it will be pushed to openbeta soon.

It does not, I read about magnetic declination somewhere on this forum. Also bear in mind that 6 degrees declination is not equal across the entire Caucasus map. You can find exact values here https://www.magnetic-declination.com/. I use 6 degrees to make navigation simple and never had problems when flying over Caucasus in Hip. I don't have NS 430.

When setting the angle on DISS 15 DOPPLER SYSTEM did you include magnetic declination? If F10 map is showing bearing 297 degrees you should set 291 on DISS 15.

Nah, still broken.

Mi8 is not mentioned in today patch log so I assume sling loading is still broken.

I downloaded 2.5.6.55960 and was able to finally do this mission in my first try! All 4 cargos delivered without any problems.

It's limited by SPUU-52-1 tail rotor pitch limit system. See page 81 of the manual.

Wrong. Native resolution is 2160x2160 per eye. SteamVR default setting is 3168 x 3096 only because it needs more pixels for barrel distortion correction.

My G2 is connected to USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C and it works without any issues. Mind I have Intel mobo.

You can hook loads in Hip but they have 0kg weight, don't affect heli performance and swing like crazy even in hover.

Just don't waste your time with learning swing loading. It's broken since around December.

I had to stop playing Oilfields because it's unplayable with this bug. We had several patches and hotfixes since beginning of this year and none of them addressed this bug. It's bloody frustrating. One might have a feeling that ED does not give a damn about old modules and campaigns. PS. It's also broken in so called Stable version.

Maybe in MP but in SP sling loading works pretty good in Huey. Just did a small test with 2000kg load hanging from Mi-8 in hover. I released the cargo and Mi-8 didn't even move, it just stayed in the same hovering position like the cargo weight was 1kg not 2 tones! It's unbelievable this bug has not been fixed since it was reported in 2018! Three bloody years.

Helipads are still broken after installing today hotfix!

This sounds like a side effect of reprojection. Turn it off and ghosting should disappear.

Not yet.

You have missed the point of my post completely. The person I replied to thinks we cannot change clouds to ULTRA in VR because our computers would not handle it.

On my 4K monitor the difference between LOW and ULTRA clouds is only 5fps. I doubt the impact would be much bigger in VR.

Water is not flat, I don't understand what you are talking about. Clouds are not as good as on 2D monitor but still miles better than in 2.5.6.

Quick example. I have units set to Imperial in the game settings. Because when I fly MI-8 (or any other Russian plane) I prefer to have KM instead of NM. Instead of changing game settings back and forth I edited OPTIONS file in one of the missions with MI-8 and set units to metric. Unfortunately when I load this mission units are still set to Imperial instead of Metric. So, does the game read this OPTION file when loading a mission? If not, why this file is included in MIZ package?

I use SteamVR only to play DCS in VR. DCS itself is a standalone version.

I have Reverb G2. My settings PD 1.0, SSLR, SSAA, MSAA all OFF, SteamVR resolution 50%.
