Phantom453

Good idea!

Just found this one myself and was just about to report it but ....... snipped my several months it would seem.

There a few issues that need to be addressed and features that need to be added/ refined, but it certainly seems to be going in the right direction so far. Looking at Petrovich in the rear pilot seat, it would be nice if the Petrovich altitude setting changed more slowly initially, then increased in speed as you hold the long-up or long-down button press. This would allow you to make small altitude adjustments. Especially handy when you are trying to pop up just a few meters from behind cover, or duck down behind some cover, or when operating close to the ground. I also think Petrovich is a little heavy handed with the cyclic, especially when moving around in the hover-transition mode. Especially when going forward. As you mentioned, I'm looking forward to the voiceovers for both orders and acknowledgements.

This is an EXTREMELY disappointing announcement, especially as release was eagerly anticipated before the holidays. However, IMHO, it is COMPLETELY the right decision by ED and one built on bitter experience. ED have provided a list of specific functionality/ features for Early Access release and another list for module completion. The Early Access list provides features that will provide players with a fun and flyable AH-64 at initial release. This will be followed by further, more complex features, weapons and module refinement. To jump the gun and go early when this list of EA features are not ready (in particular the AI) would be to do the whole F-16 release all over again, and make it unenjoyable for everyone! The AH-64 module is a complex aircraft which will require two pilots or one pilot and a clever AI to fly/ operate it. Imagine if they did release it with a George AI who was basically bat-sh*t crazy! Not doing stuff he was supposed to, repeatedly crashing into things, not identifying targets, not engaging, trying to fire through buildings et. etc. It would be pointless and people would lose their lolly big time! ED want this released just as much as we do, but they want it done right, just as we do. Unfortunate but necessary.

Wouldn't hurt for that young captain to do a few tutorial videos while we all wait for release.

That new Wespe model for the WWII Asset pack looks spectacular. The level of detail is amazing. Well done to those responsible. Great work.

Thanks for that. I was a bit stumped as to why it wouldn't turn on, but would turn off using a key bind.

Normally does the first time a map has been downloaded or updated. Try reloading it a couple of times and it should be fine.

I see a Devrim helicopter mod, I download! I've been using you cockpit mods for years. Really appreciate your hard work and sharing. Thanks brother.

Yes please! Needs tuning.

Really, really enjoying the Mi-24!! Still learning. Still haven't tried all the weapons or night flying yet but having a absolute blast getting acquainted. Love the 60/70's era tech, especially when it comes to navigation and comms systems. Thanks Team ED for giving us this great module and all the time, effort and tears that went into developing it. Worth every penny and will only get better.

Looked like the missile hit a Minecraft game.

Cyprus!!! Thank you Urga!!!

Thanks for your reply Mr Fox. Yep, well hidden under the licence drop-down

I was just on my ED Store login to pre-purchase the Hind and as I was having a quick look around I notice that my WWII Rewards List of planes and map/ asset pack I received/ am waiting for, back from 2014, appears to be missing from my profile. I recall this was normally under Profile - Home/ Personal section (listed on the left hand side). Before I log a ticket, I was just wondering if this has been moved (if so I can't find it), or whether other WWII Backers are also missing this from their profile page? Thanks

30% discount right now and even at full price is still $10 cheaper than the A-10C, F/A-18C and F-16. Can't complain about that.

Today's newsletter states that the radios (transmitter & receiver) and navigation system will come after EA, along with the AI navigator/ radio operator and rockets.

Wow. If Thrustmaster ever do the AH-64 HOTAS, they're going to be like $1,500.00 each

Extremely excited about this. Screenshots just look amazing. Hurry up 2021 - the year of helicopters in DCS

What an exciting list for 2021 and beyond. Looks quite demanding for the team, but of course just reading the list doesn't account for work that has already been completed on some of these tasks. Thanks for sharing your plans with us. Looking forward to it all!

Run "Repair DCS" (which version you are using - Stable or Open Beta). Allow it to replaced your modded files with the originals. Then back up the original file(s), then apply your mod. You migt find it easier to use a mod manager in future like OvGME.

Well as a virtual rotor-head since the C-64 days, I just couldn't be happier today! Helicopter multi-crew and the AH-64D revealed! Wow!! I'm a tad surprised (not unhappy) that we'lll get the D version. Who knows, we may get the A as well? Multi-crew for the Huey is just fantastic and I'm very happy we got the loadmaster/ gunner stations too. Cracking multicrew for helicopters is obviously a necessary enabler for the HIND and Apache, but I'm also keen to see it released for the Mi-8. Thanks ED. What a classy way to finish off what has been a terrible year.

Yes, what Pikey said. Great addition. Makes this already awesome map even better, especially in terms of scenario functionality/ possibilities! Thanks for listening to the community and acting on it. You rock Ugra!!

Great update, great price. Thanks ED.

Only available in OB ATM and you also need to apply the latest OB update first, which dropped today, before it will appear in your Module Manager.
