With total Respect to E.D. and all of us Huey Lovers Price for the Model is at 49.99 By Belsimtek Never sorry to pay that for the Fun I have had. To Quote a line from Dangerzone "I don't think there's much being done on the Huey anymore." I wish I could say I don't feel the same way but I do and I am so sad by that. IS Belsimtek even in business any more? I honestly do not know. Is E.D. responsible for all needed updates and bug fix issues? Again I honestly do not know. I do know a lot of us have reported a lot of issues with the Huey. I can honestly say when reported we had a genuine honest concern to report and take the issues to the People that take the issues in hand. Not faulting this process at all. It has been a Good part of the process. Thank you. Sad but we have no movement in the area of patches to help us out yet with the Huey. So I do feel Dangerzone is right. I can say for myself "only" This issue and the very sad startup and shut down body rocking are 2 of my top of the list issues. like 1 and 2 on the list. Because I love this Model so much I have made Liveries and so I know of the sad long problems with the Shinny body and dull tail bug that a wonderful user named ams999 figured out was a 1 file fix to the ab-212.lods.Json file and it alone returns all Liveries to the intended way a livery was meant to look. Very easy fix that could be added into any patch at any time. The Only point I think I am dragging you into is If that is so easy and left to go not fixed. I am sad to say we may never see any patch fix for our beloved Huey. But I hope I'm wrong.

I took the Poll and was Honest. I like polls for our Passion on Flight Simulation. Matters not how it was designed to me. I will comment on how and Why I voted. Vote was No reason is because I fly Single Player and this would have to be a Multiplayer with full multiplayer crew to be a functioning playable model (Or so I am Thinking off the cuff) This is my first exposure to the idea so I am thinking off the cuff with no real ability to add a lot to the topic.

Lol Sounds like a Happy Camper Awesome You can Fly till you Puke like we all did ha ha ha. I use to have to point a fan at my face to keep it away at first. lol It goes away.

First off I am looking at this part of the Forum and it makes me kind of sad that not much action is going on here with new posts. Today I will post a outlook of some new Gear I have been using and looking forward to some more new Gear on the way. (time to babble) So I got a New Thrustmaster HOTAS Stick and Throttle "SAD VERY SAD" So I got a new VIRPIL VPC Constellation ALPHA-R, with a VPC WarBRD Base, and a VPC Control Panel - #1. I have been using them for about 80 days now and I am Very happy with all of them. I love the Control Panel. It fills my button pushing needs in VR and it just makes VR that much more fun with touch and feeling my needs to NOT remove the headset to look at the key board. STICK and BASE: This is just my JOY omg The best inflight control I have ever had. The words Micro input for a micro output of control surface movement to control the placement of the aircraft is the fact I have in my hand now. Before you had this and it was good and you just don't think it matters or could even get to a point you could ever tell how much better it could be. My Virpil WarBRD base and the Grip are So good when I take off in The Huey my Stick is almost Dead Center still to rise into a Hover. Just a Micro amount of Aft and Starboard placement will get it to hover now. No Product makes everyone happy 100% of the time. My Joy may not be your Joy. My View of this product for personal use I paid for it and I am so happy with it I just ordered the VPC SharKa-50 Collective Grip, VPC Rotor TCS Base. THRUSTMASTER GEAR: I did buy this first because my mind was not right. SAD VERY SAD truth. I waisted my money. Thinking in my cheap ass way it don't matter and covid shutdown everything and this was still for sale and I just got it. It is NOT TRASH. It is "Spring Heavy" SO it is hard to use for flying a Huey in a desk mount setting. I have a Desk it is not for just gaming BUT I do Game. I want the gear NOT locked down in place all the time. I don't want a sim pit. Nothing wrong with one I just don't feel the need to have one. Lol till I get all my gear out in place then I kind of got a sim pit right? lol anyway I now use the Thrustmaster Throttle as my Throttle for everything BUT do not like it for Helicopters But do enjoy it for WWII flying. Thrustmaster needs to Redesign there Product in my opinion for the price you pay it just is not worth what you get anymore. IT is NOT JUNK it just has now become outdated through Competition of more Functions of new products of the same if not better quality in design. NEW GEAR ORDERED: My need to have a Throttle ie Collective in the Huey that can be enjoyed as much as the Stick has been placed and is going to be shipped soon. The WARTHOG Throttle again FINE for fixed wing use and I will still USE it for that only now. My hope is to mount the Virpil to a Mini clamp and clamp it to my chair's arm rest frame at the screw in point to the chair a small amount of FAB work will be needed to mount the Collective Base to the Clamp and with LUCK (no cheap ass involved here any more) It can be clamped to my chair and removed when not in use. SO FAR VIRPIL: For me has been a very enjoyable experience and I know that is not the case for some other people and I wish them the joy I have had with my new gear will come to them some how some way. MFG CROSSWIND W/DAMPER: I now use the MFG rudder pedals V3 with the Damper added for my Rudder controls and will say I am very happy with them and they have a way better smooth control from my Logitech pedals that over time turned a little janky jerky push feel. SO I went from a X56 RHINO HOTAS with Logitech Pedals to a THRUSTMASTER WARTHOG HOTAS to a VIRPIL Custom HOTAS Augmented with the Thrustmaster Throttle for fixed wing and my New MFG Crosswind Pedals for a lesson learned of I get kinda stupid sometimes don't I? Honest I do not think Thrustmaster WARTHOG HOTAS is Bad or Junk I think it needs to drop in price to the Mid level point on just being bested by Other Brands after never offering any improvements over the years of being King of the Hill.

I have on Order now a Virpil VPC SharKa-50 Collective Grip, VPC Rotor TCS Base, VPC Desk Mount V3 - Mini, VPC Desk Mount Adapter - Control Panel. So I wanted the same thing the Mount on the other side but thought I bet it can't be moved. Thanks for that Confirmed fact. My hope is to Clamp my Throttle on and Off the Arm rest using The Small Mini Clamp Inverted and FAB the Mini Desk Mount Adapter Plates to the Clamp then mount the Collective to the Mount so i can remove the Throttle. IF the PROVIDED Mount could be put on the LEFT or OTHER side it could be attached to a Regular Desk Mount Bracket, Or a home made Custom Mount to get the proper placement. My Chair is a Custom Chair and the Chair Mount Plate will not bolt to it. I know I will need to FAB a small Wood Block to the Mini Clamp then with luck put the Mini Plates to use for the Mount of the Throttle Base.

temerity excessive confidence or boldness; audacity. How cool is this ? LOL This is my Word of the DAY on my Toilet Paper I had with my morning Coffee Today.

That is so cool She got you The HOTAS for your Birthday. Got to love that. Best of Luck with all the NEW GEAR happy happy joy joy. I LOVE flying the Huey I do that most of the time. lol

I could only use the slow Motion Run from 1980's Bay Watch lol I could never get them to walk

Lol in my Kobuleti Air Show Mission My Huey is needed at the Back gate by Security and My Port Side Door Gunner has to take out 3 Insurgents that get out of the back of a truck and start shooting at us and the back gate Team. After the Fight my Voice over will say "Best Damn Job I ever Had". Lol I had to use that line.

Without knowing if you set them on the map on road or off road just make sure you have that correct and it should work. I just checked a mission I did with 1 M4 Soldier running up to my Huey to deliver a message I have him Late Activated next to a Humvee WP 0 then he runs to my Huey to WP 1 then I used a Hold Command for him. after I fly away he is removed from map. I am on the ground in a Off road area so he had to be set to Off Road on the Waypoints.

Sorry about your old Computer R.I.P. Thanks for all the Fun. I say. Congratulation on the New to arrive Computer. What Is your Flying Model Passion you like the Best? What is your Favorite Maps to use. What Flight Gear do you Enjoy? It is crazy how all you do is dream about it when you can't do it and how secure it is when everything is setting in front of you unused but ready to go when needed. Get Airborne soon.

Sorry I may be of no help. I will ask 1 question. You put your Plane down then changed the 1 of 1 to 1 of 4 to make wingmen be wingmen Right? Sorry to say I have only used 1 wingman at a time for a few of my missions I play single player. Hope someone can help you find out the correct answer.

I would use a Moving zone attached to my plane "My Plane" then two other zones "HB" & "TA" = Moving zone MP = My Plane & HB= Home Base & TA = Target Attack MISSION START: NO CONDITION or IF NEEDED ACTION or THEN = Set Flag OFF 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 1Once Trigger: IF Moving Zone "MP" is Inside Zone "HB" & IF Moving Zone "MP" is Outside Zone "TA" & Flag False 10 THEN set flag on (1) 1Once Trigger: IF Moving Zone MP inside zone HB & Flag 1 is True & Moving Zone MP Outside Zone TA THEN Flag on (2) & Set Flag Value 2:1 & Flag On 3 2Repetitive Action: IF Flag is True (2) & Flag 2 Equals Value: 1 & Time since flag 3 = ?? THEN Set Flag Value 2:2 & Flag Off 3 & Flag On 4 (However much time is needed to trip any flag before this trigger is repeated. NOTE: if you only want this flag to trip 1 time. The amount of time to give would = how much time is needed to fly into the next zone or to be in Both Zones at the same time. or to trip the next trigger.) 2Repetitive Action: IF Flag 2 Equals: 2 & Flag is False 3 & Flag Off 5 & Time Since Flag 4 = ?? THEN Set Flag Value 2:1 Flag On 3 Flag Off 4 Now if you think about this and lets say you put a 30 sec time limit on both Repetitive actions they will CYCLE from one to the other every 30 Sec. NON STOP till trigger 5 is ON to stops them. 1Once Trigger: IF Unit Dead Whatever Unit you kill and its time to return If Unit Dead THEN Flag On 5 TO GO BACK THE OTHER DIRECTION you would set it up the same way with other flag numbers so the editor will know what direction the plane is moving from and to. 1Once Trigger: IF Moving Zone MP is Inside Zone TA & Zone MP is Out of Zone HB & Flag 5 is True THEN Set Flag on (6) & Flag Off 1, 2, 3, & 4 1Once Trigger: IF Moving Zone MP is in Zone TA & Zone MP is Out of Zone HB & Flag True (6) THEN Flag On (7) & Set Flag Value 7:1 & Flag On 8 2Repetitive Action: IF Flag 7 Equals Value: 1 & Time Since Flag 8 = ?? THEN Set Flag Value 7:2 & Flag Off 8 & Flag On 9 2Repetitive Action: IF Flag 7 Equals 2 & Flag is False 10 & Flag is False 8 & Time Since Flag 9 = ?? THEN Set Flag Value 7:1 & Flag On 8 & Flag Off 9 1Once Trigger: IF Moving Zone MP inside HB & Moving Zone MP Outside Zone TA & Flag True 5 THEN Flag On: 10 Flag Off 5,6,7,8,9 Plus whatever other action you need The Above Repetitive Action will stop. Keep in Mind The Reason for the Repetitive Action 2nd Events With the Proper Time set and / or proper SINGLE ACTION command added can be used to do whatever your needs are OR stopped with when Flag 5 or 10 is turned on with some trigger you use or set up Without knowing way more information on what you are trying to do and the needs of the mission. You can ADD more ACTION EVENTS to triggers above if needed. If No Help No Big Deal I just had nothing to do so I Got Crazy with it. lol

Rudder pedals I feel are according to type you have. I had Logitech's and they worked fine on normal axis settings. But then moved to MFG Crosswind. I had to set the Crosswind up as a slider that solved all my New Rudder problems of way to much input from the new Crosswind pedals. Now on Slider setting with zero dead zone all x, y set to zero I am back to normal again.

Yes I know this is a Bug Report in the Bug section so they can fix it.

Livery issue with bomb rack

Dear Sir All the names of bases on all maps could be made editable so we can take a map and change the base name to what we want it to be so the map now becomes what ever country we want it to be. I can take The Caucasus region and Black Sea that encompasses much of Georgia and make it a American Type area or Vietnam Area Map Name Editing of all Air Base Names Maybe even City Names too if it would be not much more trouble to do. All Maps could have more diverse use. Thank You DishDoggie Gaming

If that was a Profitable approach to the problem ED would be doing it. I think You are Right to a point and will say Some times that could be done. I just feel that Most Business do not run that way because of the money it takes to employee the people to do this. I hope some way can be found to solve this problem. I know I am not smart enough to get the job done.

Everyone is a victim : We all Learn different: I Agree on that. What is DCS to do? = No model is 100% finished when we get it so changes will be made and the only way to give Early Access News is by way of Visual Videos at this point. Only when the Model is 100% can you write the Manual. I only think of this fact in the way it directly effects me. Never gave a thought to a person that Learns by Reading the Manual other then Admiring People who can learn that way because I wish I could. Early Videos are Okay but we all know they become not usable when big changes are made like with the AH-64D The Early Videos are now outdated. Yes they make a update video but the sad truth to all this is You can not pay someone to produce a Manual 20 times that has the amount of WOW detailed sophisticated technical information. What person or group that would be. Well I can't do it. I feel sorry for people that need that. I wish I could do it that way. I am what I am and I have to live with it. Best of luck to everyone Imagine what it would be like if we had no Social Media to do any of this.

When you watch 100 hours of a guy hand build every part of a $8,000 DCS cockpit with every button that works like setting in the real plane and 3 Projection cameras and custom 180 screen and not thinking anything is weird when he admits he likes flying in it in VR most of the time unless he is streaming live for us to watch. "You Might be a DCS Red Neck"

@Talisman_VR Thank you I do agree. I never use to do mods But this one is just too good to pass up looking back into the Huey and seeing... Also the Bug Fix made by ams999 that fixes the Huey Shinny Front body and dull tail to make the Huey look so bad is a MUST get and install to see the Skins correctly Highly Recommend https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/199518-reportedso-the-ab-212lodsjson-huey-skins-too-shiny/#comment-4908598

I had that Mod someone made with the 2 Different interiors with Nam type Soldiers in the back and the other one for Dustoffs with racks with 1 wounded Soldier in one of the racks. It would be cool if you could pick up that group of Soldiers Empty Ship going to FULL and then drop them off going to EMPTY again and the same with the Dustoffs empty racks land the full racks and back to base then empty racks. I love the mods I need to reinstall them again just to look back and see a ship full of Nam type Soldiers is Awesome. That is why I made my Huey Dustoff Skins for download with old used gauze and blood on the floor for the Med Rack Mod. looks so good. I can Not remember the name of the Mod. I'll have to go search for it lol it's really cool.

In a Custom mission I am using the Zone 1,2,3,4,5 to pick a spot to Clear of Trees and Buildings 10% of the time when I jump into the mission it works fine. Then go back into M.E. and in all new Zones made the Areas will not clear. The only way to Make them Clear is to Save Quit the M.E. and exit DCS then Start it all up and then the New Ares will Be Cleared. You can save the map every time before going into M.E. it don't matter it will still not work. MAP The Eastern Black Sea. Aircraft. Huey, Single Heli Port, Trigger Zone 1, Size 500 Mission Start, Remove Static Objects. Both ALL, TREES, STRUCTURES, used.

Your correct it would be nice to have but it will never happen sadly. We have been reporting bugs in the Huey for YEARS now and they will freely admit they know about them and just look at the last Beta Update fix report put out for all the things fixed and the Huey is not on the list. I have made missions where I use triggers for my door gunner to report 3 enemy insurgents on the port side then he fires on them. This is the only way to do this at this time. Sorry but I do not think it will ever happen for this Version of the Huey. ED knows from the sales of the Huey it is still popular. I hope they address the issues we have and keep turning in. We can only have faith in the someday fix to so many on the record bug reports like the crazy unreal body shake and the Skin defects from shiny body not the tail so your exterior look of the Huey is just bad. I hope not to make you feel bummed out or discourage hope that ED is aware and has plans we know nothing about on this subject and to stay calm with patients. It's just been so long for a large group of HUEY DCS Pilots that are so in love with this CLASSIC model that I feel opened the door to the Militaries Combat Air Calvary and Life saving Combat Wounded Worrier Transport Of Hero's flown BY Hero's. The Huey is a Proven American \ Plus Allies Combat Asset of its time.

even better news thank you.
