Thanks for the offer, I'm going to try a 3D printed part first. Had it for 8.5 years, it's hard to guess how many hours! :joystick: Will try this, thanks! It looked expensive at £50, but then I see that part was metal, £12 for plastic looks good.

So, this happened last night - it literally just fell apart whilst on a very gentle Mi-8 flight. The SN# is 00197 so I've had some use out of it. From what I've read it's hard to epoxy back together due to the metal used, but I'm going to try it anyway. What are the options for replacing just the grip? Is the VIRPIL VPC MongoosT-50CM series the only option? VKB grips are only for the VKB base? I can't see where to buy just the grip from Thrustmaster, but given the poor quality of this part I don't really want to do this. Thanks.

No you don't.. Like the above post said, I have these settings from when I was using G25 pedals clutch/accelerator for rudder, before getting MFG.

I miss flying under the bridges in SE Sevastopol :(

Landing practice :D

Excellent, I want to feel that fenestron and make my feet work!

SR for S-125 should be a P-15 Flat Face The B-52 flying directly overhead was probably over radar elevation limits

Ah, you must be new here :megalol: Nothing is easy, everything takes time... I'm not even sure ED would take on the risk of developing a Realistic to the switch SA-2 (full 3D cabins etc)

Hopefully one day in the very distant future :thumbup:

That's not what the thread title asks..

This.

In that DCS video I ended up being nose down 20deg because I'm anticipating the aircraft pitching up (flapback) which doesn't happen. You can run this test with 5,10,15,20 degrees - the outcome is the same. I just chose to upload that video. In the video below, you can see what the Cabri WANTS to do after gaining enough forward momentum and without correcting for it by applying forward cyclic. This is what I'm missing in the gazelle, unless it's exempt from this phenomenon? yZPBjx9rc44

This is one of my biggest issues, there is no flapback which IRL you really have to push the cyclic forward because the aircraft wants to lift. I'm training in a Cabri G2 which is no Gazelle, but it is a 3 blade rotor with a fenestron so I'd expect to see some similarities? Here's me the Cabri, with a fixed camera. Pitch forward, set 90% power, and keep the nose down until 50kts, then fly away, and the aircraft wants to fly away! a8agfZ2bOfs?t=21m29s and in DCS jQ28fINNpvs

Yep i'm sure that is where i left it :lol:

Where is Bahrain?

I prefer the Mi-8 now, but the Huey was great for starting off flying virtual helicopters.

Even some feedback from the testers would be nice..

I'm 3 lessons in to PPL training on helicopters, that's 5.4 hours up to now, and the first hour was a "trial" flight so no actual instruction going on, just having fun. I was able to hold a stable hover in the 2nd lesson (we didn't do any hovering in the first lesson) and was doing takeoff and landing in the 3rd lesson (4 days ago) No doubt in my mind I have achieved this thanks to the helicopters BelSimTek have made for DCS. The sim gives you a great idea of how they behave and has certainly given me the upper hand. Do I think I could go solo on my first flight coming straight from a sim? absolutely not, that would be suicide. Hopefully I can get a CPL after the PPL, depends on a couple of medical snags..

Even with the container set to 1000lb or 1500lb it still reacts like it has no weight. Setting it to 8818lb certainly gives it weight! But lifting the barrels at 1058lb they don't react the same way as the container set to 1000lb. The barrels had weight to them and were no problem. This screenshot was with the container at 1500lb. :joystick:

Confirmed with 220lb cargo container! The under slung load is OK when picking up, but when transitioning to forward flight this happens..

I just tried 3 times in the open beta, no problems Lifting a 3500lb small cargo container

I think the log your looking for is in C:\Users\<you>\Saved Games\DCS.release\MissionEditor\logbook.lua I have mine set to invulnerable so it doesn't show a "dead" value..

Latest trip to the Lake District, won't be getting many more unfortunately :(

Re-addition of Crimea is never happening, due to politics. As much as I'd love to fly under bridges in Sevastopol again...
