I have never looked at real life Apache screen, but claims that there is no glare at all seem exagerated. I have never seen a screen that did not glare under right conditions.

It seems ED just keep swinging from one extreme to the other. Some time ago there was a discussion among BSD (Black Shark Den) about Petrovich being a force multiplier. So, we did a test, both flying single and multicrew. We had to find and destroy 10 targets in a small town that were scripted to spawn randomly. Multicrew achieved better results. While AI is (was) better at finding targets, ID and guidance to the pilot to get LOS was way worse. Now, semi-competent multicrew seems to be the way.

How much wind? I tested in 6 kts from multiple quadrants and while it did take longer to stabilize it held position after that

Now it's more agressive to get you back to your initial point if you were not absolutely stationary when you engaged ATT hold. After that it's rock steady.

Hmmm, I made sure that both roll and drift are zero. Since my stick stays in place I don't like to use trim hat since it causes disagreement betwen physical and DCS stick, but I usualy just hold trim release until all is where it is supposed to be. OK, this I did not know. That could explain it.

As title says, if I engage route mode and set course (in this case 000), it flies heading of 006 on the HSI. When I press and hold trim release and change heading, once released, AP will now go to heading of 000 on the HSI. Behaviour observed in both cold and hot helicopter. AP heading.trk

While devs are on it, can they also fix "if one valve off/both engines working" bug?

Care to share what is your solution? Are you really saying that you are, at this point, surprised by the range of ATGMs, which had be known even before DCS Mi-24 was released?

Nope, those are missing. Also, if you close just one fuel switch, both engines will continue to work.

My bad, that's the case when rearming. AFAIK, if you have R-60 active and Petrovich on hold fire mode, you can't fire ATGMs.. He can fire fine in free fire mode. So, if it's an air target, you can fire both ATGM and R-60 at the same time. TBH, I haven't used R-60s after that mission, so didn't test further. OP, try to do full repair.

That's the point, I can't see your track. For some reason my DCS is not seeing it at all. You need to switch them off BEFORE using ATGMs. If left on, they will come back, but it takes a long time.

Are you flying on stable? Your track is not showing for my DCS. You need to switch off R-60s before using ATGM and then turn them on again.

Hi. It would be appreciated if devs could implement reverse of "prepare weapons" (at least to turn off Raduga sight part) command from pilot seat to Petrovich. Reason is that sometimes we forget to tell him to close Raduga sight before we start evading and it is possible to topple gyros. While we can jump in front seat and shut it down, I have found out that flying at really high elevations it is impossible for Petrovich to maintain flight. Thanks

Sure thing

Good idea. Are you gonna post it in Wishes or you want me to do it?

I believe you can only use comands for your own position. So, if DCS does not have a binding in Mi-24 pilot tab for that, even if keybind is the same, it will trigger action for pilot position.

And to do so, you need to switch to front seat. You can then issue prepare weapons comand again after time is up from back seat. One note though, if you are flying high in the mountains, it's best that you take control of the helicopter the moment you switch to front seat. Let's say that Petro is less than capable flyer when high.

I think he meant that any AI (ground) unit is red so it's free fire (although with him you might never know, he posted bunch of "bugs" that were actually his error).

If it's rolling, you need to tell him to close sight before you roll. Sometimes he can't be quick enough and will mess up the gyros. But your remark about wondering crosshair is more consistent with him losing LOS momentarily. Are targets behind any structures or trees?

Once again, remove all mods, make a mission with air start, post track

Maybe next time record a track with vanilla DCS? AKA no mods? And try to make your own mission where you are in the air, ready to engage, so we don't have to waste time watching you wiggle around the cockpit? For the record, Petrovich works for me, both in SP and MP. Every time I'm within constraints and LOS to target is clear, he fires.

No, it does not matter. His Ch 0 is set to 50. You can have all channels set at the same freq (I don't know how it works IRL). As long as your channel is the same freq as transmiting unit, you're fine.

You need to select 828 on ICS panel and return 828 COMPASS switch back to comm.

No, it doesn't work that way. You can't make it transmit text-to-speech, you have to select a file. It has to be either .ogg or .wav type of file. Take another look at that video at 1 minute mark.

It looks like you did not select anything to be transmited
