Absolutely. We do it all the time in "Into The Jungle". I think you may need to select start from ground.

LJOS Posted August 18 Posted August 18 I seem to be having a problem downloading the DCS OH6A Zip file from Github, there seems to be a 1Gb limit on file downloads as I get the following error every time that I try and download the ZIP file ( The download stops and I get "Check Internet Connection" message) This happend for both the OH-6a as well as the A4 zip files both of which are over 1Gb in size. Does anyone know of any other sites that these files can be downloaded from?

I downloaded OH-6 and the rest two days ago without any problems.

Thanks Raffi, I checked my internet settings - nothing there that could cause limiting in any way - I even reached out to my ISP - seeing as I am on an unlimited data plan - and they confirmed that there are no limitations in place for my account. Could latency be causing Github to drop the connection for some reason? I can't see that it would as the downloads all fail at roughly 0.9 Gb I am in Australia, although that shoudn't have any bearing on the issue! Edited August 18 by LJOS
TheBiggerBass Posted August 19 Posted August 19 I was facing similar issues with another download. Each time the dowlaod volume reached a certain limit, it stopped. I tried even larger downloads from other sources and had no issues. Then I just copied the download link from the browser - Opera in my case - to another download app JDownLoader - and it worked at 1st attempt. I suggest to retry the download with another browser or another download app. The devil is a squirrel. 1 System: HP Z2 Tower, Win11 24H2, i9-14900K, 64GB RAM, 8TB SSD (M2) + 18TB HDD (Sata), GeForce RTX4070 TI Super 16GB VRAM, Samsung Odyssey 57" curved monitor (main screen) + BenQ 32" UW3270 (secondary screen), VKB Gunfighter Ultimate MK4 + S-TECS Throttle DCS: All terrains, allmost all modules, most user flyable mods - CA, WWII Assets

I think you may need to select start from ground. Yeah I believe it works the same way as ships. So I think its "start from parking hot" or "cold", and then you will be able to choose the park number on the barge. Its a really cool addition in DCS. You might want to make the barges indestructible if you're in an area which is getting shelled though, because I think once it gets damaged too much the helicopter just falls through the floor. Its a really great addition, the first time I tried it there were seagulls flying around and it sort of makes you feel like you're on a pirate ship 1

Just needed to make sure the barge is a ship, not a static object! Thank you 2
Tonker Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago Shhh, nobody tell @CommandT... 8 Nah, I've only just met 'er...:pilotfly:
Petard Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago boohoohoo hearing about the tragic story of the ah-6j mod makes me sad still, great video though 1

Is this a tease to tell us that something might be moving on the AH-6 (and Blackhawk) project? Or a flex to show us what we can't have? Love the video btw. Black Hawk down vibes are very strong. 1

Thanks! For the moment nothing has changed, they’ll just be making guest appearances in screenshots and videos. Think of it as free helicopter wallpapers Oh and regarding your comment on YT about the pilots, no work has been done it's just that the previous video was using old footage. I'm wrapping up the CopterLife assets pack, though. It's not going to be as polished as I'd like but it's been sitting on my HDD for too long. It contains ground vehicles, ships, driveable ships, sinking ships and static objects.

Can't wait! Shame about the AH-6 but what can we do I think you mentioned at some point the VAP might be getting updated too?
