For those of you who know MSFS, you can tilt the cockpit camera (head) angle up or down when looking straight ahead with trackir - so the centred head position is tilted up or down somewhat, and I'm wondering if this is somehow possible in DCS? Perhaps by adjusting some LUA file somewhere? Reason I ask is because depending on the module, it feels more natural to have the default F1 head position to be tilted slightly down - for example in the Kiowa (and some other helis) you sit fairly high and you want to have more of the ground in view when your trackir is centred so I wish I could tilt my in-game head angle down a few degrees to be the default position. Same goes for some aircraft, I'd prefer seeing more of the instruments whilst looking straight ahead at my monitor. And I don't want to change the camera view by shifting the whole head position up and down, I just want to adjust the default head tilt. In MSFS as you all know you just press the mouse key and adjust the camera angle. But I've never seen any key bindings for this in DCS? Cheers!

Oh amazing, thanks so much! Will try it when I can!

Hi folks, Could someone help me figure out what I have to change to get the HUD-only (Alt+F1) view to appear without any MFDs? I've seen a discussion on this for the F-18C but I need it for the FC F-15C and the folder structure is different. Can't figure it out. Any ideas? I'll be very grateful, cheers!

Awesome. Even just a basic datalink simulation would be good. I've sent you a friend request on Discord. Would love to try the mod

Literally can't wait for this! Can I ask - presumably the real life Polish MiG has datalink? Would it be possible to have this implemented in some basic way? When can we expect this to get released? Wesołych Świąt!

@tobi @Eight Ball Is it theoretically possible to animate the soldiers getting on/off the chopper (even if the W&B remains unchanged)? Or is this just not something DCS would allow at this point? Just thinking how amazing it would be if we could actually come and extract a bunch of Delta Force guys from a hotspot somewhere. DCS is just crying out for some better infantry mechanics for something like this! Obviously that's on ED to improve. Either way this looks absolutely fantastic! I'm on 100 hours of OH-6 flight time already!

This looks insanely good!! Payware quality as usual. Can't wait to fly it

Thanks, but the one offered by propeler is exactly what I need, especially with the adjustability of the length and angle so I'll go for that. I find the limiting factor with regular metal offset extensions is that they give a very limited offset proportional to their height, at least when it comes to short extensions of 5-10cm. 30 degree offset for a 10cm extension is very little. What I've been looking for is a bit more like the real F-5: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/5624792

Why would someone make a mod but not make it available to others? Seems very strange. Polish MiG mod looks very cool. Would be great to see that available at some point. No, looking for an in-cockpit, modelled GPS device. Although that android app is very cool and maybe I'd have used it too if I had anything android, which I don't.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a stick extension for my TM Warthog however I have quite specific requirements and I simply cannot find what I am looking for anywhere. Could some help in case they know of a place I could find what I need? I need a TM Warthog stick extension that is at least 5cm but no bigger than 8cm ideally, but also has a significant offset. No less than 3cm, and ideally more like 5cm or more. Just for reference there are some extensions like that for other sticks, although height-wise still a touch too long: https://qr4rigs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=211 Also I had one of these before but it broke because it couldn't deal with forces of my force feedback stick base: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394501520157?_skw=thrustmaster+warthog+extension&itmmeta=01JF2KZVWR9X65AM9SJ48H3RZS&hash=item5bda1f7b1d:g:b9UAAOSwu2ZkCCs5&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAABAHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKlCWiauN6R%2BOxBJbR8NB1mxWacoheZOsj2G60uhwouP1vraNHOrt7TTDrucSrehmV0J54X4PJ0nwOKQgGg2OOt75rTKgGEeUYDaaxKOXtmkY2Z--eHqfQoSAaPnwvsIqVE2xT1kbgTuDWl%2FHtismmUJDouYZa3LPucskTdlS1%2F9cb4pRGjBlbqfkwfcNSI6ChsvTvCPJmS0OR7NmoUAlulsd8%2FFZQbV8K9Ov5sbF6TRWq1Z4yj6%2B9Y8N1Kh%2B2XI274v4ZF0ec3aktiUva7VlkHLgFTXoIcj6dlgXK5NxFQtfBPcJ4XVVi1pHUra%2BNw5W7U%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7y-_9P4ZA To sum up - TM Warthog extension that is 5-8cm in height, at least 3cm offset and is strong and sturdy, preferably metal. Does this exist anywhere? Huge Thanks!

@tobi @Eight Ball Any progress on the OH-6 or it's derivatives? It's been a little quiet here Any updates planned any time soon?

Yeah Open Mod Manager looked way too overkill for what I really need which is to effectively enable and disable Barteks Caucuses, Taz trees and Bandit's weather mod. So I would also like to keep using it whilst it works and since it's so simple and I don't require anything else at this time.

Thanks guys. Problem solved by deleting and re-installing OVGME!

Hi guys, Is it just me or is OVGME not working any more after the latest DCS patch 2.9.10.3948 (the one with the new fog)? If I try to enable any mod in OVGME I get an error: "Backup creation error for Mod '_______', the Mod cannot be installed" Any ideas how to get it to work again? Big thanks in advance!

Police OH-6 FBI mission: One thing which would be nice to maybe improve at some stage is the rotor animations. Occasionally they make me think my game is running at 20fps when you look at them. I think that along with a VR pilot body, would basically make the mod look like it's a payware module, which it honestly should be! Thanks again for your efforts Eightball and tobi. Can't wait for future updates!

Thanks but I'm still none the wiser. Looking at tutorials on VOIP I'm doing everything right but cannot get it to work still

Hi guys, I'm struggling to get VOIP to work in the Kiowa and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong... I have the PTT (VOIP Radio) mapped to a button my joystick. If I get the VOIP menu open (RCtrl + RShift + Tab), I can see the radio I have selected and when I press the aforementioned PTT (VOIP Radio) button on my stick, both the R PTT and I PTT boxes go red (testing in server on my own), however, when I release, the buttons remain red... should they not go back to yellow if I release the PTT (VOIP Radio) button? We tested this with a friend in my server yesterday and we had the exact same issue... couldn't transmit on the radio. Is this something we are doing wrong or a current bug? Thanks!

Good point. No idea. Forgot about the existence of F4 since I've been using Ctrl+F2 in all other modules. In the meantime I made a new video with the OH-6 P.S. A virtual pilot body would really complete this chopper! Edit: is it possible to have an OH-6 as a ground object that doesn't have "spinning" rotors? I'm guessing it's a bug.

How come the Ctrl+F2 view doesn't work with the OH-6? Is this intentional? That "GoPro" view function doesn't even exist in the key bindings.

@Eight Ball The floating pontoons with landing pads in the VAP have Riverine PBR boats docked beside them. Is it possible to have this boat as a separate unit that we can place as a regular ship? Thanks!

Made a little video with the new OH-6 patch. Love the strut compression and skid friction physics! Well done guys! I know it's been mentioned before a few times but a virtual pilot body would really complete this mod/ module. Otherwise I'm running out of any constructive criticisms. Chopper feels bloody brilliant Oh, there is a little bug - when landing on the school bus, if you land a little too far forward on the pad, or a little too far backward, the skids fall/go through the pad at the edge. Just a minor thing (not seen in the video).

@BIGNEWY Are we expecting any news on the Marianas WW2 map any time soon? It's been total silence for ages.

Not sure if this is the best place for it but I thought I'd share a little video I did with the F1 and Force Feedback implementation here:

No FREAKING WAY!!! Ok, now this is opening up a World of mission-making opportunities!!! Looks amazing! The 3D model is better than some payware stuff. Hats off! May I ask if we are expecting to see an updated cockpit for the Little Bird? From your external model it does appear like the MFDs are there. Once again, phenomenal work. Can't wait for this!

Are we still getting the dinosaurs at some point? :)
