PM me if you are still looking for a profile for the X-55 / Huey. There are only a few things done in the Saitek Profiler. The rest is done in the DCS Huey Options. I can help with both.

I am curious if anyone else has found the Seagulls yet ? I was very surprised to find these critters flying around considering the Bird Checkbox (for Bird Strikes) was unchecked and does not produce actual modeled birds. Don't believe me ? Take a look !!

The Mods install up to 7 MB/s

After yesterday's update there is a HUGE improvement in download speed. I went from 0.6 kb/s to anything between 1.0 MB/s - 2 MB/s. It took about 12 hours to download NTTR and each of the Mods take a couple minutes only. WTG DCS. This is a significant fix. Thank You

I actually let it run all night (and all afternoon and evening yesterday) .... still not even close to being finished. V2 .... UNinstalled !

I have no doubt the Server is being taxed heavily from all of us trying to download at the same time. The Torrent method will be effective once more and more people have everything already downloaded. Right now there are way more people trying to get the files than there are those who already have the files who can then be peers. So as much as I dislike waiting for things, I think I'll wait a few days by which time more people will have the files to be peers AND there will be fewer taxing the server at the same time. For those who don't have great internet connections, this is the advice I'd consider. In this case, I'm taking my own advice.

I have been downloading for hours. It was at 17,000 MB's out of 27,000 MB's and then the next time I looked .. it was at 2,000 out of 27,000. What's up with that ? Super Frustrating. I know we'll all have our downloads completed sooner or later (much later in my case), but it is a painful experience to be sure. I hope it's worth it.

OMG it is all still painfully slow. The Torrent download is barely over 100 KB/s and even HTML (or whatever it is) is only 36 KB/s. I'm thinking the full release will be available by the time I have the Alpha and Mods installed !! Good thing I'm retired ! ;)

I have same issue with Radio. No Signal Beacon.

Thanks for the reply Shagrat. I didn't think so. I guess I need to just find a way to use a Fast Rope and hold over a zone for "X" amount of time for each of the imaginary SAR units ... without using a Script (if that's possible). I think I can do that with Triggers. Have a great day.

I'll concede that I have NOT read all of this Thread. I have however, already read this thread >> http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=115610&highlight=parachute. What I'd like to do is have a couple SAR operators bail out of my Huey to help a stranded hiker. While I know we can't see anyone (other than door gunners) in the back of a chopper, I would like to know if it is possible to have and see a couple guys bail out and have their chutes open (i.e. they spawn outside the chopper with parachutes). Is this possible ? Later in my mission, I will use some sort of Rope/Cargo ? lift the SARs and victim out of the bush or predicament.

I'm already an old man .... not to mention impatient. But this is ridiculous. WHY would anyone make this sort of change ? I thought updates were already too slow for too long. And now THIS ? Shoot me now !

I'm certainly no expert on the matter so I have to go with what people are telling me. But I have to say that I am still someone unconvinced just because of the way things went down. Maybe it's just my ignorance that has me doubting.

PS> Regarding Last Post. I am NOT suggesting that specific Nuke Script is the one being used. I am merely pointing out that this type of scripting IS possible and is likely being used. As well, I believe there is scripting that allows people to Warp as soon you get within shooting range OR just as you hit your trigger !!!!

So earlier this weekend, a couple of us were on a European Server when all of a sudden some really weird stuff started happening. I would see these vertical white spikes followed by freaking HUGE Explosions. After 3 or 4 of these, the Airport was totally flooded (See Screenshots). The next day I was flying the next day I shot down a plane that made a giant nuclear-looking burn spot. Just when I was about to concede that maybe it was just 1.5 Beta ... it turns out these probably were the result of Scripting. Look at THIS >>> http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=152986. SCREENSHOTS >> As such, I will NOT be flying on THAT Server again. I have suspected said server OR players on that server of using Cheats in several ways. Now I am convinced of it.

Another great Photo/Image Editor online is Pixlr which is at https://pixlr.com/

It could easily serve as a Promotional Video for DCS in my opinion. It is as good as any I have seen. Well Done Bidartarra

I've been looking for an excuse and means to learn "some" Russian anyways. This might provide just that opportunity. I think it's only fair since so many Russian players are able to speak English, the least I/We can do is try to learn some of their language too ... IMO. That said, I'm not so sure that I'll be successful. But I cannot wait to try this Campaign out. But I suppose I'd better fly a few of the Free Missions that came with BlackShark first !

I believe this has always been the case. Or at least this appears to be typical for Profiles. I learned this the hard way a couple years ago. It is allot of work creating profiles so it's best to get it right the first time (editing profiles and re-saving comes natural after you've lost everything a few times !). You must first Clear each column (NOT including the Keyboard controls column) for each Aircraft/Mod. Best to Save as soon as each is cleared. You must Save Each Column/Controller individually for each Aircraft/Mod. I save from the ALL category as well as the Axis category for each of the above. So for each Aircraft/Mod, you must save a TrackIR (Axis), Rudder Pedals (Axis), HOTAS Throttle (Axis and ALL) and HOTAS Stick (Axis and All). That is allot of files to save ... but that's what you must do. I personally save ALL my individual Aircraft/Mod controller settings/profiles in a Folder on a separate drive. I use the same TIR profile for All Mods and therefore I can Import the same file for each (I just copy that profile into each Aircraft/Mod's folder). Here is an example of my Saved Profiles. I hope this can help someone.

Okay... Sorry about that. It sounded like it was due to the same issue. I stand corrected.

As I just described in THIS POST , I have this same issue ... specifically as described when I am in a New Aircraft (not the first aircraft I get in but after a death/crash ... respawn).

My controls are usually okay until my first crash or death. As soon as I'm in a New Plane/Aircraft, that's when my controls start getting wonky. I find this is true in both Single Player and Multi-Player missions. Not only do several of my HOTAS Controls no longer work (without a complete PC Reboot and DCS startup) but on many occasions I have found my Mouse to not work within the Cockpit(s). Either I am unable to Click Switches OR I cannot Tune Dialed Controls within any cockpit. I hope this gets fixed very soon as it is extremely annoying having to start/restart/start all over again ... etc. It doesn't look very good on the Flight Logs either ! {Not that this truly matters}.

I am very new to mission design so I am no authority on the subject by any stretch of the imagination. But I'm positive I thought Trigger Zones CAN move in some way or another as seen in the "Conditions" options. See the Conditions in this screenshot. Is that not how this Trigger Condition works ? Just Askin'

Has anyone seen or heard from NetMan lately ? I haven't seen him in a long time. He was away for a month or two a while back; showed up a couple times and then I haven't seen him again since. I'd hate to think that unlike myself, he actually has a Real Life and/or better things to do than fly with us !! In any case, it would be great so see him and fly with him again soon. So if any of you are in touch with him, please pass on this message to him (i.e. that I'd like to fly with him again soon ... on any server he wishes). Thanks y'all. PS> Net .... MAAAANNNNN .... Where are you ? {He'll know what this means} BTW - If ever DoW chooses to create a custom skin for him (if he becomes a DoW member), please let me know. I have a great idea for Image on his plane and already have some samples/examples to work from. I think he'd like it.
