InspectorGadget Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Does anyone have a set up guide for this. I had to switch to an Airplane in Easy mode just to fly something, I could not get the helicopter to even lift off... When I attempt to set up the controller clicking on the edit menu in the CP I can set a couple of switches but Cant get the system to see when I move stick in any direction such as Left for fly left. I just got the controller and Just also downloaded the Sim DCS as well as Just learning all about The Rift D2K which I also own... My end Goal is to buy the Max Flight Set up B206 with the Real controller handle(grip) on the Cyclic stick, and fly using the Rift as shown on U tube here... Right Now I have the Rift working and think I can get it to run on DCS ... I need to set up the new controller never even owned one before so thats a challenge. Also I have never flown Sims ... I am new here this is my first post so Hello and if you can point me to a sequence of events and setups so I can learn this all so it makes sense I will follow your leads.... I am persistent and will try it over and over until I succeed.. I was told I would not be able to run Rift on an Alienware Laptop with Nvidia and I did that so p[lease help me set up this joystick...so I can Fly people..lol Thanks and its nice to see so many interested in these things... Mark Here I go Again...
cichlidfan Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 DCS doesn't have a flyable AH-64, AFAIK.

InspectorGadget Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 What is it a Demo? I was in one..lol It was in DCS World, I click on edit mission and add Helicopter then scrolled down there are actually 2 different AH64 and AH64D, I selected the AH64D then I was flying. I could throw the throttle up and down and affect the helicopter, but not what I would call control it by any means... So am I missing something. I did say I am brand new, I had downloaded them three times that a lot since my anti virus was removing key components prior to installation I finally noticed it since I was up at 2 am when it did a scan and I searched the history... Anyhow, I am brand new to all of this so please continue to help... Thanks... Here I go Again...
cichlidfan Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 You were adding an AI helicopter which you cannot control directly. If you have only installed DCS World, without any purchased modules, then the only flyable aircraft are the TF-51 and the Su-25T. When you are in the mission editor, you will notice that those aircraft are yellow in the selection pulldown. I would recommend that you have a look through the manual in the DCS World\Doc folder. It will probably answer many of your questions. Welcome to the forum and flight simming.
