You Are A Pilot in the US Coast Guard. All Flights have been Grounded due to HEAVY FOG. There is a Pilot hurt bad from a crash on the Handy Wind Your the ONLY Pilot and crew with Balls to take the Mission Because your just that Dam GOOD. Uploaded so when it becomes added to the User Downloads you can try it out if you like. I added both of my US Coast Guard Skins to the Zip file because they were made for this mission so I can Distribute them with my Mission. Honestly at first I was shocked how hard It was for me to deal with the FOG I got so disoriented and crashed I was amazed and had to work hard at being able to deal with it at first. I needed some training on using and reading the Compass and using the UHF Radio Inflight to call units for navigation assistance and getting on course to them with the compass.

Reporting a Bug: (I AM IN VR) On TINIAN INTL AIRPORT on the MARIANAS map I set a UH-1 Huey on the Runway in a 90 degree setting (for fast test of a mission) to the Length of the runway. The runway will move \Shake right to left The Huey does not move. You can see the 2 layers of runway Asphalt are not one layer because the top layer shakes side to side not the bottom layer. If this has been reported please ignore my report. Thank You NOTE: I just tested this in 2d flat screen and it does not shake this is a VR only Bug. My VR Gear is the HP G2.

I find this a well known and wanted request and I am adding it to the Wish List (With All The Respect I have for DCS) This is NOT a BASH, because it is SO BASIC of a Requirement for a Flight Sim to be able to see The Lights in the FOG or Storm Cloud Shadow of the Day. To Approach a Airfield and not know where it is till you are over top of it and even with the lights on during the day they are so dim they are totally useless to the pilot. (Night time No Problem) A TEST to PROVE my point go out to sea (DAY TIME) Put down a Oliver Hazard Perry Put the Clouds to Nothing turn on the FOG make it thick as you want get in a Huey behind the perry and look at the Landing Lights on the back of the Perry. If they can shine this Bright on the Ship in the overcast or in the Fog in the Cloud Shadow of the Day.... So Can Runway Lights, Like Perry Mason I rest my case. Thank You Please consider The Simple things that can be fixed. My Wish List Item

Have you tried it with the Flip Switch to the right on High?

When the reason kicks in for this bug my door starboard gunner was down to 40% ammo he just stopped. my port gunner did pick up the slack but then he stopped and was well above the 40% ammo and my Co pilot did nothing when told to fire at will. All ground troops killed but 2 1st time then 1 left alive after that. I had to rocket blast them to finish. Why not?

@Mistermann I am Happy You Got it working. lol I Knew you Would.

Well I Ain't No Fortunate Son Till Today So I made This lol A I AIN'T NO FORTUNATE SON NOSE ART HUEY with The Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer M261 Rocket Pod. Just uploaded it so as soon as it updates you can get it.

Lol This is so funny to me!!!! ha ha ha ha ha

I laughed hard when I found the below pictures of what they did to the Rocket Pods in Vietnam. So Funny I was thinking of adding a Version to my Vietnam Skin after making a Desert Colored Rocket Pod. I thought well I could go back and make one for my Little Annie Fanny Skin.

From Port side to Starboard on the Handrails with just enough room for your skids and with the Boat on the Move. Anyone Anyplace Anytime. Huey Pilots are Awesome.

{"pilot_UH1_patch", 0, "pilot_UH1_patch_vtnam_117", false}; {"gunner_UH1_patch", 0, "pilot_uh1_patch_vtnam_117.dds", false}; This is the way I get it to work

LOL Maybe do what I say in this one lol that is a joke for fun. Keep going Brother.

Okay so if you Know WAY more then me (not hard to do) and understand the below Description lua file lines and want to help me out understanding a question I have. {"M261", DIFFUSE , "m261", false}; {"M261", NORMAL_MAP , "m261_nrm", true}; {"M261", SPECULAR , "m261_spec", true}; {"Hydra_MK278 Illumination", DIFFUSE , "mk278", true}; This is the Lua file lines needed to load the Custom Pod Skin. I am only adding the m261.dds file the Normal_Map is the bump map 3d texture info. The Specular File is where I fall flat on my face. This one is kind of purple violet but if I just use the Default it looks fine in game and in the Model Viewer with all the F1-F10 Buttons nothing has errors showing So I feel like It will be fine. If you Know it will not please give me help to create one off my custom dds file. Also DIFFUSE can be changed to a 0 SPECULAR can be changed to a 2 What would NORMAL_MAP be if it was a Number ??????? I do not know...

So I am working on a Desert Huey Skin and as I learn this stuff by hands on mistakes and Successes today I see when loading a Large M261 rocket pod to my New Beautiful All Desert Huey Skin.... It is OD GREEN. HELLO I was smart enough to head off the Weapons and Gun hardpoint mount so I don't feel to bad but I have to do something about this Rocket Pod Problem and Only a Day later and Lots of deleted attempts later I have this to look at as a Early PEAK and SEE IT. (still working on the text on it) Very close to done.

In your Game Tree is a file "ModelVieweer2" it is in the BIN Folder My install is like this "E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\ModelViewer2.exe" Open the Model Viewer Then Load A new 3D Model by going to "FILE" then "Load Model" then Pick This File from the List. At file path "E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\World\Shapes" FILE"ab-212.edm" The Huey is Under this file type ab-212 It is hard to find till someone helps you find it. Now You go to the Textures Menu "a black Bar in the Main Window. Open it and look for the Pilot File "pilot_uh1_01" This is the File You want to edit. you will see a little arrow click it to open the menu tree to see the file. then look for the NAVIGATE BLUE BUTTON above the Picture and it will open the file explorer window to the file. I am taking you the long way around to get the file Because I want you to see the ModelViewer Because You NEED to USE it a Lot to do Skins and if you Know nothing about it...... wow it can be hard to find info and how to videos on how to do this. I have been teaching myself for a month or 2 now. okay maybe more lol anyway good luck. I only do Huey Skins because I'm still new and it is what I fly the most. Look for some Youtube videos on the ModelViewer I did one is good he goes through all the menus and you can learn what it is used for more then My short exposure I gave you.

Had to do this because I'm talking to myself lol same name not the same year...God I'm older then you. Forget the Trim. Turn it off or just don't use it. Learn to fly with it off. You may Die more at first but we all did. If I could give the best advice to a new pilot it would be: Invest into the ALL 3 Control devices needed. A good Stick, Throttle, and Rudder Peddles, Good Luck and Enjoy. and Best Name Ever!!!
