After adding the OH-6A in the ...mods/aircraft folder, I had to create a liveries folder and add all the skins there.

C:\Users\...\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft\OH-6A\Liveries\OH-6A

I have no problems displaying the skins.

The extra "OH-6A" inside the Liveries folder inside the OH-6A main folder, was what was missing. Thanks

Thanks! Tried to recover, can't be done! First I thought it was not possible to auto rotate, but that works fine before the spin starts. I actually don't understand what really happens, and why the engine cuts out. I even managed to get blown up before the crash.

Did you delete the old one if you had it? All extra scripts etc. installed?

This is  NORMAL behavior above 120 knots, depending on weather, QNH, and gross weight. The rotor experiences a hard retreating blade stall, that is very difficult to recover from. Best to do is collective down, cyclic back (slightly), pedal opposite YAW, PRAY! Stay away from 120 on speedo indicator! It happens fast, happens suddenly, happens hard.

With conventional layout helicopters, the smaller the helicopter, the smaller the rotor disk, the lower the VNE. For DCS: OH-6A it is 120. 122 is near death. 125 is death. 

Fastest helicopter os DCS are huge CH-47 and MI-26. KA-50 is also fast with VNE of 155 knots or about that.

Yes.

New scripts replaced old ones.

You need to delete all old OH-6A related folders located in C:\Users\...\Saved Games\DCS\ mods (aircraft, tech) and scripts. Now you install new version 1.51 (or just add 1.51 fix for version 1.50). Finally you add skins as I wrote in my previous post.

Fixed THX!

Does Dir Gyro work? IS there a three minute alignment? For me only mag compass works.

Really? It is in this module? With a retreating blade stall one should pitch up and roll depending on which way the rotor spins. Super easy to get out of in all of the other heli modules. Mind you, the Hip rolls the opposite way. Probably copied from the Huey. 

Watch Terminus video.

Which one is this? You mean the Hind. Sooooo easy to overcome.

Nah. Just tested. Maxed out the speed indicator. Didn't happen.

Verify that "Easy  Flight" is off. Happenes to  me everytime I am above 120. Also depends on wind direction and speed relative to aircraft when 120 knots is exceeded.

Easy flight! Are you nuts? I've never used it. I'll make a video tomorrow.
I just took over VRFGPJ's track.

No need to delete everything. If 1.51 is installed the patch is not needed

No FREAKING WAY!!! Ok, now this is opening up a World of mission-making opportunities!!! Looks amazing! The 3D model is better than some payware stuff. Hats off!

May I ask if we are expecting to see an updated cockpit for the Little Bird? From your external model it does appear like the MFDs are there.

Once again, phenomenal work. Can't wait for this!

Dear God, does this mean we are getting an actual Little Bird mod separate from the Cayuse? Or is this just a skin a minor upgrade (5-Blades) to the Cayuse?  Looks fantastic and will be a perfect fit for the Afghanistan and Iraq map.  Expect some major videos coming out when this gets released! 

Also, did some pretty sick CSAR flight in the Cayuse (check time stamps) this weekend.  Working on perfecting this mission with Mistermann and then we will push it out on the user forums.  

Fully expect this type of stuff with the Little Bird above only in the middle east running night ops.  Already practiced a little with a 160th livery someone made on the Afghanistan map.  Going to be a great time!
