How to add the FCR?

[jsr9597]

Sorry for the noobie question...but I've noticed a dome on the top of the rotor blades....but I don't have an option to place it there.  Am I missing something?

[NIGHTHAWK1]

Need to go to mission editor to add FCR dome.  Reported that in future it will be a part of the reload/rearm, but not yet.  You have to goto to where  waypoints, armanment line is and over to the left is [...], click on that and then un-check FCR off.

Thanks for the help with this - very much appreciated!

Look in the rearm menu for MMA 

[Captain Orso]

As my old boss used to say, "you've hardly finished doing something right, than it works"... *sigh*.

I managed to update my dedicated server installation, but not DCS_openbeta, so of course OB wasn't WAD 

All cleared up now. Thanks for the replies!

I think I lost my FCR. Even the FCR removed tick mark is gone.

It's been moved from the Mission Editor, and is now on the rearm screen for individual crew to manage, rather than the mission maker.

Threads merged.

Please refer to the changelog thread for any changes in each DCS update.

I have it in the ME on the PAYLOAD page. It has its own columns with the header MMA. Why MMA, I have no idea. The Apache is scrappy, but Mixed Martial Arts scrappy? 

Check the main screen after starting DCS if the version number in the lower right corner is 2.9.3.51704. That's how I caught it. 

If not, rerun the update and check the log that it actually finished correctly.

If you do have the correct version, run a repair is per this page: How to repair/cleanup or update DCS World?

MMA = Mast Mounted Assembly, which includes multiple components besides the FCR itself.

[Captain Orso]

At least it doesn't have anything to do with MASTication 

I was going to say the other mast- word, but I've already been warned once 

[Dozer1606688093]

So i wanted to test out the FCR, but when i go in the editor to set up a simple mission, i can´t add the fcr to my helicopter.. I can only fly the normal version.

Before i remember there was a tick box for the dome, but now it´s gone?

Nevermind.. I found it. Called MMA for some reason  

[Toge]

It's part of the loadout selection now, the leftmost box allows you to select the MMA (mast mounted assembly).

MMA is the correct term. The FCR is one part of the Mast Mounted Assembly, the other is the RFI and the mast mount, of course.

Pulling my hair out over here. Yes i do have  2.9.3.51704 in lower right corner but and when I go to ME Payload and check restrictions I have no green check marks in that column.  I am using Steam version, Is this the best way or the only way to fly. Had my system built and DCS installed so putting it frankly, please reply in the dummy version. "Run Forest, Run"

[ProudApacheDad]

Kodori Gambit and Battle for Saipan don't have all weapons available from the FARP warehouse (you can see this in the rearm menu when it says "not available"). If you check the Marianas Runway Start instant action mission, you'll see it available on the arming screen. There didn't appear to be any restrictions in any of the instant action missions that I tested. I was however able to add the MMA via the mission planner, both to the warehouse and to my starting payload.

[ProudApacheDad]

Cant say how much I appreciate the picture, Understanding the wording had me a little sideways and i was still searching until i "RIGHT CLICK" and then i was able to add FCR. Been struggling for 3 days on this and got it. Again, Thank you.

[Warlock99]

Tried to add the FCR in the mission editor. Opened the Aircraft additional section of the mission builder and saw Allow PLT/CPG NVG boxes’, but there was no FCR box above them. Just received a large update when I opened DCS was wondering if it was accidently dropped, moved or I am looking in the wrong place.

Thanks

[Gunnar81]

Its now in the loadout screen with the weapons. On the very left of hardpoints you add or deselect it there.

[Glide]

It's called Main Mast Assembly (MMA).  Look for MMA under loadout, and add the pod.

As an alternative for your own AC you could also add it in the rearm menu ingame. But adding to other aircraft or wingmen you only can do via ME as described above.
