The limitation resides with ED, not the talented mod makers out there. ED chooses to keep lots of core elements locked away and inaccessible to the modding community. 3 System Specs: Spoiler Callsign:Kandy Processor:13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K - RAM: 64GB - Video Card: NVIDIA RTX 4090 - Display: Pimax 8kx VR Headset - Accessories: VKB Gunfighter III MCG Ultimate, VKB STECS Standard, Thrustmaster TPR Pedals, Simshaker JetPad, Predator HOTAS Mounts, 3D Printed Flight Button Box Video Capture Software: Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), Video Editing Software: PowerDirector 35 Into The Jungle (MP Mission) F18: Scorpion's Sting Apache Campaign - Griffins Kiowa Campaign - Assassins

I don't think you don't need to turn off the engine to hot refuel/rearm. 1 hour ago, SparrowLT said: i cant get the ships to answer for permision to land tough How did you did you try? Could you contact it? If you can contact it, but don't get landing clearance, try a couple of miles astern and ask for landing clearance. 2

That's useful to know, thanks - I haven't managed to do this in the Loach. Might flying with doors removed mess up the 'open canopy' requirement? I have tried to spoof it with the keybind, but no joy. I'm away atm so can't test, but good to know it's operator error. Saves a good chunk of time for when the AO's hot! 1 Nah, I've only just met 'er...:pilotfly:

You can rearm/refuel motor off and doors openned Just FYI, you have to be shut down completely to rearm/refuel. You can leave the battery on to talk with friend if online via SRS. It is a quick shutdown/startup process though. 2

MAXsenna Posted March 22 Posted March 22 @Mistermann @Devil 505 Thanks for the correction guys, I don't need to in the Gazelle, so I just assumed it was the same. Cheers! 2
Tonker Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Wonder what rotor disk ground clearance is on both types - wouldn't like to work under either! 1 Nah, I've only just met 'er...:pilotfly:

Vic Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Thanks for the reply's, guys. I'm doing the mission cold start in the Maranians at the base. It's not an airport. When I try to rearm and refuel nothing happens, do I got to have the radios turned on? Also, I totally shut down the Loach but have the battery on. What axis tweak do guys have in your collective (if any). I know it's twitchy but one thing that really helped me is cyclitic. I brought the saturation down, made a big difference. Just wondering what some of you guy have your axis tune set to for the collective. Also I added tinted upper glass and gave the dude tiger stripe camo pants haha. Someone was asking if I could upload skin, but I do this down and dirty for me, the way I do it every pilot will have sunglasses and camo pants, I don't change .lua's I just load the textures. 2
tobi Posted March 22 Author Posted March 22 Radios work for towers. Just dial them in and set up the intercom. See the readme for details. Turn down engine, stop rotor and open the door for groundcrew. 5 hours ago, Mistermann said: Rotor Blades cannot be spinning to rearm/refuel.

MAXsenna Posted March 22 Posted March 22 There is a read.me? Well, it took me two years to learn that DCS actually has manuals, so this was pretty quick! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk 3

Vic Posted March 23 Posted March 23 I love this little Loach too!! I still can't rearm though, do a complete shutdown hit the rotor brake and use the com menu click on rearm and refuel screen pops up to choose loadout, I select rockets and nothing. Even tried jettisoning pods and landed empty shut down still nothing. I must be doing something wrong. I got the manual when I first got the mod and read it over and over again Also flying around tonight I set the collective with a curve of 15. The cyclitic pitch and roll have no curve but, on both pitch, and roll I set the saturation to 85. Now I got excellent control of this little bird! Just can't rearm and I got boocoo VC to take out LOL Tobsen and Eightball you guys made an awesome mod complete with enemy forces!! So epic!! THANK YOU GUYS!! 3
Slippa Posted March 23 Posted March 23 A manual? … I must’ve seen it, maybe I read it early and forgot? Can’t say I’ve flown it in anger for a while but rockets etc worked for me last time I tried em. Smoked myself out in glorious technicolour too. Trust you’ll get it sussed soon enough Vic. I love it too , ‘the gift that keeps on giving’. Standing ovations all round 2
