OH-6A by Tobsen and Eightball

[Slippa]

Since the update I’ve been at the Stutter festival too. I flew an Apache close to another two and the whole thing collapsed, CTD.

I’ve never seen it so bad. MP servers are hit and miss depending how well populated they are. It doesn’t go away in SP either.

If I go deleting stuff in search for a fix, what is it I need to delete, everything in the OH-6A scripts folder? Should I go deleting other contents of scripts folders in other mods as well?

@Slippa I just moved all mods to a seperate folder ie "OFF" or something as such and then tried the ones I really wanted to keep by adding them one by one starting with the Oh-6. Then I tried different Maps. For me as stated the Oh-6 works fine on the Marianas map but continues to stutter on the caucasus map. I don't fly on any other enough so I couldn't tell you. Hopefully there will be more insight as there are some great free mods out there.

Right, I’ll go that way and try that then, cheers. 

I’m not giving up my Loach for nobody

The two files are in xxx\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Hooks. It is "gunner_export_hook.lua" and "OH6GunnerDataExport.dll". removing the lua file should be enough.

Just out of curiosity, have any of you erased the files in your C:\Users\****\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\fxo and C:\Users\****\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\metashaders2 folder?  This is old school but I do it after every patch to clear any old cache/files that could conflict with the new.  When you launch each map for the first time after the update, it take a tad longer because it is regenerating those files, but I feel like it has helped me avoid so many problems I hear on the forums. 

I have flown the Cayuse as early as last night with a ton of stuff on the Marianas map with the boys and have not had any issues.  Also flown it on Afghanistan with 0 stutters.  I would suggest trying the above method.  It wont hurt anything.  Those files automatically regenerate when you launch DCS.

Those fxo and metashaders files were what I was thinking of the other day but couldn’t think what they were.

In between watching my flicker-judder DCS slideshow I was looking around for what cache or folder I could clean out. Ended up, (ooh, a Spit’s flying overhead here ) - ‘scuse me, I ended up scanning and cleaning my C & D drives, removed a few things but didn’t stop the jitters.

I just deleted all the fxo and meta jobbies and tried the loach on the SA map. I’ve got the float barge just off the coast with a few helis on it. An AI loach took off again without any bother . Somehow those AI testers I’ve plotted are taking off ok since the update. I saw his Magnum livery shimmer in the sun before exploding as he tried and failed to climb over a Mountain .

I made it over in mine but was trying to re-set bindings to drop grenades on the crash site. When I closed the inputs page I fell off the stick something horrid. I forgot how quick she can go and we plummeted like a stone. Thought I’d got hold of it for a second but nah.

No Flickershow I’m happy to say and unless I get some on another map I won’t delete any files in the OH-6A folder. I won’t even scratch the paint on it. 

cheers all for the help. Sometimes old school’s old school for good reason.

@Devil 505I did that too but thanks for the input.

 

@tobi Will test that exactly. Thanks

The below video is from my wingman's perspective in the Cayuse while I was flying the Kiowa.  Another great night op for the two of us.  Flying coop in these two helos is the cats ass!

Better late than never, see if I can get this right...

 

[Devil 505]

A little bit of combined operations over the Marianas with the Cayuse incorporating the Huey and A-4.  First time I have really flown the Huey and OH-6 together working like this.  It was a blast. Just as much fun with the A-4.  Marking targets is critical as my wingman states in the video.  I cannot recommend this mod enough.  I wish polychop would take a play from Tobi/Eightball's book with the smoke grenades.  The visuals and time limit of the smoke are by far the best in game.  I can spot the smoke at 10K when flying overwatch with the Phantom, Bronco, or Skyhawk.  

Keep up the great work gents! Really fired up to hear what Helicopter you are thinking about next.  You mentioned maybe a heavy/cargo.  You really set the bar high with the Cayuse.

Tobi/Eightball,  

If you ever decide to do a fixed wing for this time period, it would be awesome to see the O-2A Skymaster join the party.  These observation aircraft are a blast to fly and will bring soul to the Asian conflicts for sure.

Again, Make OH-6A Official^TM! (or MOHA in short)

Prccowboy created a great AI version, if you are interested?

O-2A Skymaster (AI only) mod

It looks fine. 2 nitpicks:

1. No rain drops on roof (UH-60L has)
2. The compass has raindrops inside.

[Devil 505]

Any chance we can get the new M-60 sound effects from the Huey incorporated into the door gunner on the OH-60?  They also had new minigun sound effects.  The new M-60s sound spot on and will give you a hard on.  Hope we can add them to the Cayuse.  This little mod has become an addiction to me.

As far as i know the weapon sounds are not changeable for mods.

Flew the OH-6 for the firs time today and just blown away by how easy it was to fly right off the bat! Honestly dont know what the big fuss was about with people complaining it was twitchy, but then again Ive been flying helicopters in DCS forever now so it was easier for me to predict how good it was going to fly...but man was it a dream to fly! Anyone interested in watching the track, here it is. Next, the weapons...

Now, how about an MD500E Defender next?!

 

OH6 first flight .trk

^ V.1.0 was twitchy but Tobi adjusted the FM and sorted it out. Having some inputs bound that didn’t want to be also caused me problems but that was soon sorted too. 

As uncomplicated as it is I think this is one of our best helis, I love it. Since learning to fly this I’ve gone on to flying the Huey better, the Apache, Gazelle and Kiowa too so for me the Loach has done a World of good.

Loads of fun to be had .

I think it helps if you have a stick extension too. I have a standard warthog on a table so the Cayuse required some getting use to at first.
