thanks - yeah i soon found out i had multiple controlls all doing pitch and yaw ! sorted all that - just very twitchy when initially taking off... 

Glad to hear it's sorted. I spent hours stubbornly trying to control it. The following day when I checked the bindings instead of just trying to 'use the force' I had half a chance.

Strange, working good for me, that's why I shared it 

Oh I know it works, I've seen it in action, just not on my screen. I don't mess with much coding or luas or whatever so just copied it into the scripts folder. Now I can control the heli a bit I don't use the indicator anyhow but wonder what I shoulda done? - I have a weird setup so it's something my end no doubt, no worries and cheers for adding it .

Hello,

Great mod!

I wonder how the spotlight works? the pod is installed by the ground crew, the battery is switched on, but the keyboard shortcut remains inactive (Rshift + L). The landing light works properly, though.

Thanks

Collective  DZ-0  SatX - 80 SatY - 80  Curve- 10 ...possibly inverted but I think that is a Vipril requirement

Roll DZ- 5  SatX - 100 SAt Y - 100 Curve - 30  (dead Zone of 5 stops oscillation of roll left to right)

Anti Torque DZ- 0 SatX - 100 Sat Y-100 Curve 15

About the curve numbers, I am not sure if the curve is negative for collective, negative is roll and pedals are positive numbers.

Had this happen when playing with a buddy online, their helicopter showed up with a box attached. Their loadout was as follows:

-Minigun on left side

-7 rockets on right side

-Full load of all grenades and color smokes

Is this expected, or do I maybe need to fix something?

I was expecting a box to fly for video contents...

Hope I get the loadout right here.

There seems to be a bug when you load into MP with friends, and you have the OH-6 configured from the ME.  If you rearm while sitting on the deck in MP, they will see the 3D models correctly.  I have seen drop tanks, weird looking torpedo's, and missiles on my buddies OH-6 until they rearmed.  They see the same with mine until I rearm.  I am sure the bug will get squashed soon.

Hmm, so here's another question: There's no rearming/refueling binding for the mod, so I can't do that...

 

EDIT: Oh right I can use the radio menu, duh.

Oooh, any hints as to what's coming?

Also might as well ask, I've seen some people having success with the door gunner, and others not (including myself). Is it something simple like "doesn't work in MP" or whatever?

Are you on the discord? For not working doorgunners are 2 reason known. 1. Dcs was running during installation. 2. Multiplayer and server does not allow object export.

Aaah, that's probably it! Just checked and for some reason object and sensor exports weren't enabled, thanks!

And I'm trying to cut down on my Discord servers, nothing against you.

Just remember, Battery can be turned on, but if Helo is running, the ground crew will not rearm/refuel.  You will need to shut her down completely minus leaving the battery on to talk with fellow pilots if in MP.

I was talking about searchlight, there is no "spotlight"

This figure. What should I do? It is still harder to hover than SA342.

Yeah I found that out the hard way. My common troubleshooting for not being able to rearm (assuming the UI works) goes like this:

Am I parked in the correct spot? -> Do I need to be on intercom? -> Do I need to have doors open? -> Do I need to be shutdown?

Usually one of those sorts it out on any given aircraft.

One of the reasons for writing that down in the readme was that you don't have to find that out the hard way

Completely up to MP server Administrators.  Tobi and 8ball have done all they can do.

Finger tip move is the key! Big thanks!

I mean... It should be? The SA342 has lots of autopilot/stability augmentation going on with it, while the Loach has none. The SA342 after the flight model update is IMO the _best_ hover and near hover helicopter in the game (ignoring Ka-50 hover hold).

With the Loach I'm getting what I'm kinda expecting: A superduper light Huey that never properly settles and kinda wants to overreact to everything.

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Well, I try to hover the Gaz (minigun) without any automation/assist, silly me…try Apache just then, easier than Huey, just “let go (turn off IHASS) and use the Force”.

BTW, Low Level Heaven gives some demo on how to fly the thingy in the latest vid, may be it gets better if I load it up. Gotta have some more practices before the Pham shows up…

I just tried these (after taking careful note of what I had already ).

I had my pedals about the same but noticed you'd checked the slider and inverted them. I don't know if that's an oversight or if you fly very differently than I do but I left my pedals as they were (MFGs too ).

Pitch, Roll and Collective I tried your settings. I use a Warthog TAS and had it set up for the loach the same as I have in the Huey. Taking off was always bit of a leap and run and I wouldn't have got an instructor to go near the airfield, let alone sign me off in one the way I was 'taking off'.

The minute I started to hover after trying your curves I was sold. They're staying exactly where they are. I took off more or less properly and have much better control of it than I've had yet. Yeah, it's still a twitchy little thing and yeah, I may have just banged it into a tree doing slaloms but it's a hell of a lot better.

Cheers for the combination , I still have to wonder about your pedals though .
