Corrector use and another rocket reticule not working!

[ozTRipwiRE]

Hi,

I have a few questions about the DCS Huey module. The first is about the corrector in flight. Whenever I bump it even a little it sends my chopper spiralling to the ground and there is nothing that I can do to do anything about it. If I try to take back control I cannot. I don’t think that it is just my flying skills either. Is this normal or is something wrong with my controls setup or something like that?

My second question is in regards to the reticule for the Huey. As I noticed others had experienced the rocket reticule seems to not be working properly. When I do everything as described in the tutorial to bring up the reticule (I made sure that the Master Arm was on and that rocket pairs were properly set etc) the reticule does not appear properly. I clicked a part of the right pilot mechanism that I presume could be the one that brings the sight down for firing rockets (it could be for firing the machine guns, I am still trying to work it out) and this did bring it down in front of me but there was no actual reticule in it. I saw that it is advised to increase the brightness of the reticule by turning the brightness knob but I could not adjust the knob when my mouse was over it (I could not see a knob but it showed up as being over the brightness knob) As I got the sight down in front of me is this the same problem that MadTommy had, for example, or is this something I am doing wrong and not a bug? If it is a bug I saw from other posts that it is recommended to delete input files but I was wondering if this will probably be fixed in the next update without me deleting input files? If not a bug could anyone please tell me how to get the rocket-firing reticule to work properly. I pressed ‘M’ and nothing happened except putting Flexible Mode on.

Thanks very much for any help,

Switching on the reticle is a little bit more difficult than it was before, but I will go through the necessary steps briefly:

 

1. Before bringing down the sight, look at it. Behind and above the glas you should see a switch. Click that.

2. Bring down the sight.

3. Turn the brightness way up.

 

If you need more help, report back, I will try to find a short pictured guide someone made.

 

Best regards,

Hi John,

 

I am afraid I may need a bit more help. The only thing I could find behind and above the glass was the lever called the Pilot Sight Armed/Safe. When I clicked that it brought the sight down. Still could not get a reticule inside the sight though. I could only see the actual brightness knob (Pilot Sighting Station Intensity) from the left pilot's position, but left and right clicking and scrolling my mouse wheel up and down that did nothing and I still have no reticule. Without seeing the actual brightness knob I did the same from the right pilot's position but this also did not turn on the reticule. Is this what you were saying to do?

Thanks,

The corrector? That's the throttle, it should always be at maximum during flight, unless the governor fails and you have to control it manually.

 

If you decrease it, you have to account for the reduced power available and perform autorotation procedures if necessary. Anyway, it's hard to tell what happens from your description.
