Could you share a trackfile?

I managed to go up to 24 and then slowing lower the collective and trim to decend, then the chopter suddenly, without warning, spin and go straight into the sea.

Thank you very much. Could you do a shorter one? Maybe just climb and provoke the issue? I am not sure if the things in Replay are the same if i have to speed up for such a long time.
What i have seen here was Retreading Blade Stall due to high speed. It looked like you descent again and than it happend?

This little thing made me learn to fly choppers better. Granted before, I couldn’t hover, could barely take off and daren’t land any but that’s besides the point.
I was glued to my props and had a hangar full of helis and jets. I’d set the bindings and maybe learn to cold start one or two but I’d be straight back to fly the props and hadn’t touched anything else for a long time.
When we got this, I couldn’t fly it for toffee but I had to. Dodgy bindings was mostly the problem, then it was just down to me to smash it into the trees trying to fly it. I was killing myself laughing half the time. v1.2 came and it got more ‘stable’. In quotes cos this is a wobbly little bird even so, and not in a bad way, for me.
I was bang on this until the Kiowa dropped and I was off again to learn that. After this baptism of fire the Kiowa was a doddle. I don’t know how long I would’ve stayed trying to perfect my prop flying (forever) but thanks to the little egg, I got out of the Mossie, flew this for a bit and started making use of the rest of the bits I’d paid for too.
Now, I jump in and out of props and helis and even climbed the dizzy heights of filling a tank in the Hornet only a week or so back. Woo. About bleedin time I got some use out of it all. If the update hadn’t screwed up pretty much every module I’d have flown more but I’ve been re-assigning crap all over the place since installing it.
Like yourself, I’m in a fair bit of pickle here too. I’m fighting battles on a few fronts and none of em are gonna be sorted quickly and none of em easily whichever way I go. It’s good to bury your head in the cockpit and forget it for a bit, I get that. Sometimes life’s a bitch, sometimes my mrs is . (I didn’t sat that). Just hunker down til the wind blows a different direction. Do what we can, then point into wind and… away .
Alright, I’ve gone way off sensible never mind topic but ya know what I mean. Grab the Little bird, set ya bindings, load up the Magnum theme tune or Ryde of the Valkeries and knock yourself out. It’s bananas. 
chin up and don’t neglect the Spitfire, it’ll sulk .
 

That's one hell of a testament, when you turn the users to addicts!

It is late now, later and I will make a shorter one. Thanks for your help.

The boys and I took a flight this morning over the Kandahar region on the new Afghanistan map.  Awesome as hell in the Cayuse.  We need side seats added for a simulated Littlebird night insertion now.  Thanks again gents for making this mod.  Never ceases to amaze me how much fun we have in it.  Perfect helo for site seeing new maps and dropping high explosives on insurgents!

2 quickies:

Is it possible to remove all, or some, of the explosive thingies from the co-pilot's seat?

Is the radio working? I tried to get refuel at Port Stanley, I managed to call up the menu but there was no response. I made sure the radio frequency was correct.

Browse up to @GrEaSeLiTeNiN 's post about it some post above. I couldn't get it to work with VAICOM, while I'm positive it's user error.

I see it now

Need to test if it works with the ground crew. Long distance travel need service point

Sure. I have seen some strange display in your track. Did you install the complete 1.2 folder? Maybe the weapons luas are missing.

Radios work but not with groundcrew. You can talk to the ATC but for rearming, refueling or repair you need to shutdown the engine and open the door.

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Oh...may be I should clean up and reinstall everything...

BTW, I still cannot talk to the ATC, what have I missed?

Maybe Intercom?

Not sure about that but I think the airport needs to be in your coalition.

Did you also turn INT2 knob selector to Ch 2 (UHF) or Ch 3 (VHF)?

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

All the airfields on Falkland here are on my side.

Need to check INT2 though...

BTW, here is the track. This time, I may have been tampering with the collective too much.

First Dive:

There is a red line at the IAS Indicator. It is the Never Exeed Speed. You should not cross that line. Close to that line you need to be careful with abrupt maneuvers. Another thing in this dive is the slipping. You should keep the ball centered.

Second dive:
Never Exeed Speed, and if you pull so much collective you need to be prepared to counter the resulting pitch up with the cyclic. That is something expected.

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Thanks. Will try again with slow descend and see I can reproduce the problem

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

About the radio, I see no such switch on the INT panels:

Am I missing something? Also, I have marked it as a civilian plane and yet I still have all the grenades somehow.

I think the grenades are there because the installation is not complete

It is the big round knob in the middle. PVT INT 1 2 3 4

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Thanks. I delete the who OH-6A folder and pour in the 1.2 zip file. What have I missed?!

I know some time I am dumb…

1. Shut down DCS.

2. Unzip the zip file

3. Copy the folders Mods and Scripts from the zip

4. Paste them to ...*\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\ folder

It's there... in the middle panel where the knob says PVT, INT, 1, 2, 3, 4... switch to Ch 2 or 3 and see if it works. 
My earlier post/pic here explained it.
