Slick, Radar ALT, CM released?

[ebabil]

After appliying new update 1.2.6, i see slick version of huey , radar altmeter and non functional chaff flare dispenser.

 

BUT.. there are some several serious problems after this patch..

 

-i can not take off under %90 collective, if i pull collective little more, i get low rpm warning.

-pilot sight is no more effective

-still pilot sights even slick versions

 

could you share your opinions after patching?

[enigma6584]

Same here. Noticed big-time I could not lower the pilots sight anymore. When I press the key which is bound to a button on my throttle, the co-pilots flex sight goes down but not the pilots sight.

Pilots sight is RALT or RSHIFT M I think - you will need to reset this in the controls for your Joystick. You ay also have to delete the Keyboard.lua in C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\UH-1H\keyboard

 

Engine power in the Huey has also been reduced.

is it normal to take off at full collective?

[Nate--IRL--]

Use of EMER power if required when fully (over)laden is now a must.

Depends on the weight of your Huey. It's not known for being overpowered.

 

Prior to this version the engine wasn't right - the EGT temperatures were not quite synced with the torque I think.

I wonder, how it would be possible to play through Elbrus Rescue now ;) Funny thing, when I chose to rearm slick with standard loadout, heli changed to gunship, with flare dispensers, exhaust deflector and stuff ;)

Pilot gunsight can be lowered manually, by clicking on it.

PILOT sight has no option allowance at the moment to assign function to the joystick or throttle....or did I do something wrong....I deleted the keyboard lua file...and let DCS create it...yet no ability to remap Pilot Sight On/Off to Joystick/throttle.

Okay, that's what I figured out in the first 20 minutes:

 

The Counter Meassure panel is there, it is just not clickable on my system.

The dispensers are there in the non-civi version.

 

The radio altimeter works as it should.

 

There aren't any gunners in the civi versions, which is nice, but there are still the sights for the pilots.

 

The sound of the Miniguns is broken.

 

The pilot sight is broken. I understand that it can be lowered by the mouse, still I don't get any aiming reticle.

 

Liveries and multiplayer sync. of the military/civilian versions are broken.

I found dificulty at taking of, but instrument backlit WORKS!!! ok many things mast have changed with the sling thing but ill test better tomorrow and ill report back, for now i need to shoot something down beffor I sleep at 51st server or anyother that have enough preys for me ;)

PS: most of the time, I am the prey for others , but that is fun :)

To add something to list of issues after 1.2.6. was applied, the axis assigned to throttle is not working now.

Other issues are as above: broken miniguns sound, much more collective required to pick-up the bird, no possiblity to lower pilot's targeting hardware.

And it's just me, or it is more common, that low RPM warning is not audible even if switch is set to enable this feature?

Throttle? I have an axis assigned to "Corrector" and that works. But, hrm, wasn't "Corrector" changed to "Throttle" before? And now it's again "Corrector"? *confused but happy that it is actually working*

 

More collective, aka engine not overpowered anymore (as I learned from some other posting around here). Feature, not issue, afaik.

 

Pilot targeting sights: RSHIFT+M

Pilot targeting sights: RSHIFT+M

Do you get a reticle with them?

[IonicRipper]

The master arm switch must be on safe or armed in order for the sights to work.

[xxJohnxx]

Doesn't work here.

[Amarok_73]

Ok, I've had to delete my current mapping files, and remap everything from scratch, but now I have all needed options (I hope).

On the other hand, shouldn't radar altimeter sound audible warnings, when altitude is out of set min and max values?

[JackDant]

The master arm switch must be on safe or armed in order for the sights to work.

I can fire the weapons just fine, so the arm switch is not the problem. The copilot gets a working sight too. But someone forgot to plug in the the pilot's.

[Flagrum]

Do you get a reticle with them?

No. :noexpression:

[lorenzoj]

Got to check on some settings and things but I......

 

1) Could not align the aim of the door gun sights

 

2) Think the power "feels" better

 

3) Radar Alt works on a warm start mission. Can't turn it on after an auto sequence start.

 

4) Feels like the Huey bleeds off speed better when you want to slow down

 

Edit:

 

1) I had to check the box for Track IR Aiming in order to get the mouse aiming to work properly. Did not have Track IR on at the time.

 

3) In a warm start mission I can turn the Radar Alt on and off by turning the left knob. After doing an auto start, I can't turn it on at all ?

 

5) It does seem that the effect of small changes in pitch and power is better

 

6) I can lower the pilot sight with the mouse but can't get key to work. "M" will work on co-pilot sight however. No reticle in pilot's sight.

To use the Pilot's sight you have to first pull it down (RSHIFT + M or click on the locking lever), then turn the sight on (click on silver switch behind the sight), then turn up the brightness (mouse roll the brightness knob on left side of the sight).

 

We'll tidy this up of course, still a bit rough.

here's my thread i just made about these issues. didnt know someone had already started one.

 

i didnt have any troubles with any key or joystick assignments changing and no axis tuning issues.

 

now that you mention it, i did have to pull a lot more power just to get off the ground. it didnt feel right. i was almost maxing my throttle to pick up.

LOL, that really works!

 

"a bit rough" ...:megalol: I had to crawl up onto the dash board and to wind around between wind shield and sighting device in order to get a glimpse of that switch! And to click it ... it's not accessible "through" the apperature ... :/

why change it at all? it was nice the way it was, i even set it to a button on my joystick throttle. 1 button press and i was ready to aim.

Huh? Change what? That temporary 2-circles-1-dot thingy that floated around the windshield? You're not serious now, aren't you?

[IonicRipper]

Hard to access but it works!

 

socrgy, do you prefer to have every button modeled or just a semi simulated helicopter?
