@TonkerWhich version of the mod are you using? Can you turn the pilot on/off in the cockpit? Do the control surfaces work properly? I still have trouble assigning functions to HOTAS, even the NWS you mentioned. My version is 1.2.1.

@Raffi75 What I think was the latest/last - away from DCS atm, but v 1.2.2 IIRC. This was the update which added the new seats and pilot models...but maybe killed the control surface animations!

[Shift] + [P] works to toggle pilot models (the default binding).

All flight controls work, but the aileron, rudder and elevators are not animated. Everything else is animated.

NWS binding: "Nose Gear Maneuvering Range". There are two (in yellow for some reason?) - one is default bound to [S] and the other is bindable, and the one I have bound to a button on my stick.

The SK60 was clearly a labour of love, and what has been completed is to a very high standard. Sadly for us the dev's life moved on before every modelled system was finished. However, what's there is already great and has surprising amount of functionality and depth worth digging in to.

Nah, I've only just met 'er...:pilotfly:

Thank you. That's why I stayed on v1.2.0 or v1.2.1. I know the project was shelved and I understand the reasons. I have a great sentiment for this plane. SK60 and A-4 were the first mods that introduced me to the world of DCS

I really appreciate the work put into this plane. Its one of my favorite planes since I was a kid. Its just unique and its dual mission of transport and light attack was one much like the OV-10 and it just looks super cool. Its easy to fly and the weapons systems were made really user friendly by the mod developer. Very thankful.

🤣 snap! The only downside is it messes with my OH6 muscle memory on the pedals!

LMAO! Yeah I have already been flying her.  I can get her off the ground even better than the Cayuse.  I will be doing a video soon cruising around Afghanistan in her.

Tonker, not trying to stir the pot, just curious what happened? First I am hearing of this.  Looks like a labor of love for sure.  Outstanding model.

@Devil 505 Not much to stir: there was a message from the dev about 6 months ago to say that life had moved on since project inception (a period of several years), and so SK60 development (along with the WIP Drakken IIRC) was being shelved. All in good humour, acknowledging that other things were becoming the focus. Since many mod creators are in their late teens and early twenties, it's no surprise that other things come along to capture their attention!

I've come across it a couple of times, so if that happens again I'll copy it here.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From a happily married middle aged guy (44), I concur Tonker.  If I was single again, ITJ would be on the back burner and I would probably be a bush pilot.

@Raffi75 side note: on your earlier versions do the wheelbrakes operate the side they're animated on?

For me, left toe = left brake animation = swing to the right, which is...unusual... @Devil 505 have you noticed this, or is it a me problem?!

If I remember correctly, yes. While taxiing, I used the brakes to change direction.

Not really mu friend. I had to invert both toe brakes so they were not on but that is about it.

I pretty much need to do that in every module, so that's business as usual.

How can pilots be removed?

 

Don't have that Mod enabled at the moment, but doesn't Right Shift + P toggle the crew bodies?

Ahh, I have no idea how to do that as I've never tried it.
