Hello everyone,

I bought on Saturday. On Sunday afternoon I was able to fly successfully the first mission in deployment campaign - many thanks to those helps, tutorials, manuals on this forum.... :thumbup:

 

I have few problems and I would like to ask you to help me solve it quickly:

 

  • I can lock target via schkval, but I can't unlock the target and correct lock or choose next target, only by reset (backspace) or by destroying that target by missile :music_whistling:
  • Sound inside cockpit is little strange, I hear engine, rotor, but when I fire missile it's very silent
    • In campaign I hear see only subtitles and no voiceover. - is it normal?
    • When I destroy something: Hog heaven etc... - only subtitles, but I hear communication with wingmans, their hits...

     

    [*]While hovering, I want to quickly get lower (ex. 200m) and after while the chopper start to fall without control,I set full collective and nothing happens.- what is happening and how it's called?

    • I need to get lower slowly. But what if I need to get lower in danger situation?

     

    [*]Can I use missile on air target ?

    [*]FPS problem: in instant action, fast mission I have usually in average ~40fps, mostly on max. Huge drop in campaign - I know more units, more fire etc..., but it's normal?

    • does core affinity really help?
    • My machine is below, will new GK help me ? Playing one monitor (102cm :thumbup:) in Full HD

     

    [*]Is trackIr good with shark? - Say no, or my girlfriend will kill me :pilotfly:

 

  • P51 mustang - How you can play this module? I mean what you can do with this historical plane in modern environment? I really don't understand to this and I don't understand to this move by DCS at all...

 

 

OK, that's enough for now. Thank you for your help...

  • Sound inside cockpit is little strange, I hear engine, rotor, but when I fire missile it's very silentDon't know
    • In campaign I hear see only subtitles and no voiceover. - is it normal?Depends which campaign, if deployment or Medvedev there's a fix I think
    • When I destroy something: Hog heaven etc... - only subtitles, but I hear communication with wingmans, their hits...Same as Above, what do you mean by Hog Heaven?

     

    [*]While hovering, I want to quickly get lower (ex. 200m) and after while the chopper start to fall without control,I set full collective and nothing happens.- what is happening and how it's called?Vortex Ring State, the chopper is descending into it's own downdraft, to recover drop the nose and build up some speed (50Km/h should do the trick)

    • I need to get lower slowly. But what if I need to get lower in danger situation?Perform a Spiral Dive

Here's a fix for the sound bug. I hope this one applies:

 

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=91666

 

TrackIR is ESSENTIAL! Get it! Many people have become pilots or other aviation professionals due to their simming hobby. Tell her that you are chasing your dream and this is what you love to do! If this doesn't work, do as Jona says :D

 

About vortex ring state. Don't descend vertically. You will get into VRS very very easily, more than 3 m/s vertical speed and you're on! Have some airspeed and check helicopter videos, that's why they rarely descend vertically from anything but few meters.

See sig for better missile/rocket sound. The rest is answered already. Read the manual for additional instructions on how to engage air to air. Vortex ring is also explained. You won't be dissapointed if you read the manual.

  • I can lock target via schkval, but I can't unlock the target and correct lock or choose next target, only by reset (backspace) or by destroying that target by missile :music_whistling:

 

 

hold down the lock-target button while slewing to move the designator after locking up.

 

 

 

 

  • Sound inside cockpit is little strange, I hear engine, rotor, but when I fire missile it's very silent
    • In campaign I hear see only subtitles and no voiceover. - is it normal?
    • When I destroy something: Hog heaven etc... - only subtitles, but I hear communication with wingmans, their hits...

 

 

since the cockpit has sound-proofing to muffle the engine noise, and rocket motors of that size are considerably less loud than the engine/rotor system... this is correct.

 

 

there is currently a bug in 1.2.0 which causes mission scripted voices to not play. you can hear other units radio chatter because that is not scripted in the mission, but is part of the global sound files.

 

 

 

 

  • While hovering, I want to quickly get lower (ex. 200m) and after while the chopper start to fall without control,I set full collective and nothing happens.- what is happening and how it's called?
    • I need to get lower slowly. But what if I need to get lower in danger situation?

 

 

this is a phenomenon called Vortex Ring State. if your descent speed is greater than 4-5 m/s and you have no (or low) horizontal speed (any direction will do as long as it isn't straight down) you will enter VRS.

 

 

For more information what causes VRS and how to avoid it, please read Chapter 4, Section 8 of the flight manual included with the game. For further details regarding helicopter flight dynamics, please read the entirety of Chapter 4. If you wish to succeed in a simulator of this detail, understanding the aerodynamic theory of the helicopter is vital.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Can I use missile on air target ?

 

 

absolutely. the panel to the left of the collective stick has a group of four target-mode buttons. one of them is air-air mode. for more details on the function of these buttons, please refer to Chapter 6 (cockpit controls), Section 102 (targeting mode control panel) of the flight manual.

 

 

 

 

  • FPS problem: in instant action, fast mission I have usually in average ~40fps, mostly on max. Huge drop in campaign - I know more units, more fire etc..., but it's normal?
    • does core affinity really help?
    • My machine is below, will new GK help me ? Playing one monitor (102cm :thumbup:) in Full HD

 

 

Yes, this sim is hard on framerate. if you're getting more than 24 fps, consider yourself lucky, my own machine drops to 8 if there is any hardcore weather going on.

 

 

 

Core Affinity really doesn't make a difference. Eagle has yet to optimize the engine for true multi-threaded processing, and until that happens, the game will not benefit directly from multiple cores.

 

 

You are probably bottlenecking on you ATI graphics card. It seems a fair number of people have difficulties with ATI cards. an easy way to identify the problem is to acquire a graphics resource monitor for your card (google it), and run the game in a window with you task manager open and the tool to monitor your video card open. look at video ram usage, processor usage, and system ram usage. if any are maxed out, that's your slowdown. if none are maxed and you are still seeing FPS drop, it's because the game can't use all the cores in your processor.

quite good.

 

 

 

 

  • P51 mustang - How you can play this module? I mean what you can do with this historical plane in modern environment? I really don't understand to this and I don't understand to this move by DCS at all...

there will eventually be historical ground units available, either from Eagle or as user-created content. until then, make a mission with no SAMs.

Rocket sound is not really realistic. See my sound mod. I tried to make the external sound as realistic as possible. Internal sound is still low volume.

 

There are two A/A buttons. One of them (Low left) enables gun tracking and Vikhr proximity fusing for all aspects other than high aspect. The upper right button (Head-on airborne target) changes delay settings for the proximity fuse to ensure a better effect on airborne targets in a forward hemisphere (High aspect, like when an F-15 flies towards you).

Jona has answered most of your questions, but tbh a lot of your questions are simply a matter of RTFM :thumbup:

You know the button you press to lock targets? the same button, hold it down, now you unlock target. to slew (move) shkval, keep pressing it and move with ;/.,

 

  • Sound inside cockpit is little strange, I hear engine, rotor, but when I fire missile it's very silent

 

it is supersonic, you're not supposed to hear it, just see it. if you open the door during hover, you might catch it.


  • When I destroy something: Hog heaven etc... - only subtitles, but I hear communication with wingmans, their hits...
  • this is normal.



  • While hovering, I want to quickly get lower (ex. 200m) and after while the chopper start to fall without control,I set full collective and nothing happens.- what is happening and how it's called?

you enter vortex ring state. push forward to 60 + knots and keep eye on VVI (-1 to +1)Can I use missile on air target ?

 


    • I need to get lower slowly. But what if I need to get lower in danger situation?

push nose down and add collective (throttle)does core affinity really help?

yes new graphics kard will help you.

enable subtitles in options

They made it because it was near finished and they went ahead and smoothed all rough edges. it is very nice. read history and see for yourself.

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Hello Guys,

First of all, thanks to all of you for your answers and help.

  • de - locking of target solved
  • voiceover - solved by files update
  • vortex ring - I read the manual, I copy the whole manual to my Kindle 4 :book:
  • rocket sound - solved by proposed update, much better now...
  • FPS - it's playable, I will install the monitor tool, Maybe I will change GK in future
  • TrackIr - I showed your recommendation to my girlfried, she "let" me to buy it :thumbup:, I will buy it probably from ebay.de or any recommendation (Im from Czech Rep...)
  • P51 Mustang: It might be cool but I would really like to see Su-27 or Mig 29 or F15,18,16 much more..., maybe in future

I have another questions for you:

  • Altmeter on HUD, it shows for example ,50,60,70,80...200,250 and then 1200 ???
  • In mission briefing is keep flight level 600-1500m flight level, that's level of sea I expect...
  • I reach waypoing and abris automaticaly switch to the next one, but the mark on HUD is still set to the same, I need to switch it manualy. How to connect abris and HUD mark (diamant)?

As usually: Thank you.

That is not true.

 

It is not supersonic at the moment of launch. The missile motor (booster) produces the sound while it is not moving or not moving very fast with respect to the helicopter. Even if it does move away and breaks the sound barrier, you will hear the sound with some delay.

 

Or is your cockpit in a vacuum?

 

Last three questions:

 

- The altimeter switches from AGL to MSL...

- MSL, yes.

- Read manual about autopilot and the use of route mode in conjuntion with the PVI-800 navigation system.
