Outstanding work VV, looks the dog b*****k's. :thumbup:

Wouldn't that be great, it would really aid the immersion of the sim. Tell you what if ED/DCS carries on in this vein (regarding quality & depth) IMHO they will have created "THE" Aviaton combat sim, against which all others would have to be measured, and which would set the benchmark for many, many years to come! :clap::clap: >>> ED

No pedals, joystick z axis. Yes that sounds like what I'm suffering from, tried to get it to happen last night but no luck, but what I did find out was that if you turn all the AP aids off, it does exactly the same thing ie handling and unable to achieve steady hover, I use all on except Alt Hold. Gav, Try turning all your AP aids off and see if you think it replicates the same fault were talking about.

Was in NAV mode so no!

Guess I'll just have wait for it to happen again, and post the track for you knowledgable people have a look see! Thanks

No where near the deck, somewhere about 150 alt when engaging the AH, same as the previous hover attack setups I did in the mission. The thing thats irritating me is that it happens out of the blue, on a run of the mill hover setup!

Just wondering if anyone else suffers from this problem? Real mode, immortal on, inf' ammo, target practice. I have no problem trimming, resetting trim etc or bringing the helo to a manual hover, but I've noticed now on several occasions the following scenerio:- Will have killed a good few targets from 2 or 3 different auto hover positions I then move on to the next target group, trim, angle up to say 40* speed drops to below 50, vector line on hud comes on, manual achieve almost hover position, trim, stabilise, then hit the autohover buttons. At this point the auto hover instead of operating the way it has on the previous 2-4 times will start to make the helo wallow in pitch and yaw, and if left alone will result in eating dirt. At this point the helo seems to have lost some of its previous level of control but is still flyable! Even If I turn AH off and stabilise it again (reset trim, achieve almost hover again, trim) and the turn AH on again it results in the same wallowing motion again!:( This seems to happen on an intermittent mission by mission basis but once it occurs there is no way to regain a stable AH again. This is really putting a damper on my enjoyment of BS right now.:cry: Any ideas? anyone else suffering from the same problem? BTW I did a search, but none of the Auto Hover posts seem to mention or address this issue.

I'm currently using a Saitek Cyborg 3D usb joystick to play BS, I'm looking to buy a seperate throttle unit for it, the joystick itself is fine (and want to keep) but the attached throttle is a PITA (being attached):(, can anyone recommend a decent throttle (not complete HOTAS) that I can add in to increase my immersion factor & control. Thanks

OK thanks 159th Viper, Shame theres no way to tell wingies what altitude to fly/change to (they seem to settle to NOE in many cases! (which forces the FL to increase his alt' to send radio orders)

Hi all, Been practicing some data link excerises, esp' sending wingies to stand off positions prior to sending them attack targets. I've noticed that as soon as I lose LOS with the wingies they don't respond to radio orders! On the ABBRIS they lose their tail and then disappear, (it also shows enemy radar/threat circles changing their shape/range). So do you need line of sight to wingies to send them orders? Also why don't enemy threat circles disappear after they've been destroyed? BTW, ED thanks for such a great sim, looking forward to the Hog and Apache.

Thanks a lot guys, pilots a** now warming the seat.:thumbup:

Hi All, Been playing BS for a few days now, the pilot is not visible in the cockpit (eg, no arms or legs are shown), but I've seen quite a few screenies of BS cockpits were the pilots arms and legs are shown!!! Is there a toggle/option to make him visible?:huh:. If not, how come the screenies I've seen show him? Thanks
