My door gunner currently isnt shooting either. I set him to fire on ROE too. I dont have anyone else with this mod yet but is the door gunner slot capable of being occupied by another player?

Have you placed the script folder to the appropriate patch. I had the same problem and that was my mistake..

The update is prepared in a way that just have to drop ALL folders to the modfolder

Man I feel really stupid. I know I'm doing something wrong and i tried to find a YT video. My door gunner still won't shoot and I can't get it to re-arm after expending all my ammo and I can't change load outs either.

Have you installed the mod as follows? Rearm/refuel requires Cayuse to be shut down first (mod limitation).

Tobi/8Ball,

Any chance you gents can take the Huey model in DCS currently and make a static cargo variant out of it similar to the way you did with the Cayuse?  The guys and I are working to trigger your static cargo cayuse every time we get shot down along with the pilot to create a SAR/aircraft recovery operation.  It would be cool if we had the same functionality with a cargo downed version of the Huey.  Just curious if that was something you might be able to do.

Seems to impossible without the sourcefile of the huey 3d model.

Maybe ED wants to create one.

Much appreciated! I will suggest it in the forum for the Chinook since they are looking for new cargo options.  Keep up all the great work with the Cayuse.  

One other thing, you mentioned starting another project after completing the Cayuse.  Have you decided what that is going to be and if so, any easter eggs coming down the road?

Next thing is 1.4 which improves the skids a lot and brings optional RWR and an optional Chaffs/Flares Dispenser. 

And then

Issue our uniforms?

 

Looking forward to 1.4. then. 

It’s no secret I’m a massive fan of our Loach so thanks again the pair of you for doing such a cracking job of it. About time somebody dropped us a Map of Vietnam for it really. 

What sort of project’s next I wonder? Other than the Ferarri, dogs and moustache. Any ideas? 

[Hammer1-1]

What's the helicopter at 0:53? Looks like a fun bird.

Does it blow away when you pick up speed? (Or even better, when you pull collective - that would be awesome)

Not perfect (missing downwash), but looks good all in all.

(to be fair, no helicopter in DCS so far (as I'm aware of) simulates rotor downwash on rain drops. And tbh I don't even know, how that would suppose to look irl!)

Thanks for the update! Trying it out but could not get flares to dispense. CMWS is armed but nothing drops when I press dispense. 

Update: Works - Check number of chaff (30) or flares (30) in ME loadout.

nullPlease check if there are flares. Those values might be zero if you enable it on a mission with an OH-6A that existed before the update.
