1.2.6 Huey Problems - Please read first!

[Lizzard]

Hello,

 

with 1.2.6 a few things changed for the Huey, and a lot of People have serious Problems with that. So I want to cover the most common Problems, because I am a little bit tired of answering the same Questions over and over and over again:)

 

 

 

Problem 1 - Missing Control inputs (this step is a MUST)

 

With 1.2.6 some new Control inputs were added to the Huey, in Order to get them all, you have to rename or delete your Keyboard and Joystick Folders in "....Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\UH-1H\ Don`t worry the Game creates them new on the next restart, and you only have to reassign your custom settings for the Huey.

 

 

 

 

Problem 2 - Skins

 

with 1.2.6 the slick or unarmed Version of the Huey was introduced, that made some Changes in the handling of the Skins (the description.lua file changed). You have to do the following:

 

For the stock or delivered with DCS UH-1 Skins, take a look at this post from the great Esac_mirmidon :

or a similar approach from zaelu

For your custom Skins you have to tweak the Description.lua yourself...this is quite easy..take a look here:

Problem 3 - Pilot sight does not work

 

Step 1 - make sure you solved Problem 1

 

Step 2 - look here (Thanks Robert)

 

 

 

 

 

Problem 4 - you solved Problem 2 but still have wrong Skins in your Missions

 

 

Open the Mission in the Mission Editor, and reassign your favourite Skin. That mostly solves the Problem. Or you reassign the Skin right before you start the Mission (Mission Planer)..that also will do the trick

 

 

Last but not least the almighty DCS one trick pony...if you have any other strange Problems with DCS go to System Drive/.../saved Games/DCS and rename that Folder to DCS_old or something. Then restart the Game and the DCS Folder is recreated automaticaly. Check what happens then.

 

 

These are the most Common Problems in 1.2.6 Just make sure you follow these Steps and everything is fine:)

 

If I forgott something feel free to Post here!

 

 

 

Thanks!:joystick:

problem 6

buggy campaign missions from mission 6 and above where you have a flight leader

[Lizzard]

Guys..this was not meant to be a bug Thread..just the things that can be solved quite easily by the Community:)

In my honest opinion, BELSIMTEK or ED should stop to release BETA version of a module. They should release it when it's done!

 

Personally, I realize that I must wait for it in patience (for months if necessary without any complaint). I mean maybe that's our fault. We want, they release Beta. And that's why we have too many complaints.

 

That's my thoughts...

[outlawal2]

And I am totally against that idea.. If you want to wait for the finished product so be it. But don't limit the rest of us based on your own feelings. I want to fly the aircraft as soon as it is ready to fly.. Even if it isn't the COMPLETED project. Everyone needs to be mature adults and determine if they have the patience, discipline etc. to use a beta product and if not then be honest with yourself and wait for the finished product.. (and more power to any folks that want to wait for the finished product. It is personal preference and not everyone has the temperament or TIME to test a product.)

 

Folks DO need to understand what BETA means and what the possible ramifications are before hitting the purchase button though... All of these folks crying that they had to pay for a BETA and then are confused or worse, ticked off because they THINK they have to pay for the final version need to do some research first.)

 

In the end it is always the same issue... Folks need to take some responsibility for their own circumstances...

 

Also, BETA testing is the best way to test on multiple machines with the most diverse hardware and software... If you wait until the "Final" version with no BETA testing, then the final version would have TONS of issues and everyone would be upset that the fianl product was junk...

 

There is no shortcutting testing and releasing a BETA is the best way to do this..

I understand both Sides here, but as I said in an other Thread..this whole Discussion about Beta Stages, Development and release is somehow Paradox...on one side you have the Guys who scream for the final release, and on the other side there are Guys who spam the wishlist for new features. So o.k. BST could say "Hey in 2 Weeks we release the Final Version of the Huey"..but nothing really would change when they do so..Development would go on, with every update some new Features, Bugfixes or even more minor Bugs would be implemented and so on. DCS is a life long growing Software Plattform..so are the Modules...and because of that every Module is somehow a BETA Version forever. Just my 2 Cents

The only issue that I have with this release is the in cockpit sound is way to loud. If I reduced the world sound in the options page, then the sounds are too low in the A-10C. Looking for a solution.

that's right, if you want a polished version you should have patience but they are also many people who appreciate to be able to buy a helicopter in beta phase.

There is no need to do such decisions. The fault is not at developer's side, but on the side of users who don't understand the meaning of the word "BETA"...

[lorenzoj]

I'm quite happy to be able to mess around with the Beta version while it's being developed and not at all concerned that some things are missing, need tweaking or are WIP...... it's a BETA

:megalol: unbelivable..the current update broke all uh-1 Skins again..great Job:music_whistling:

[Scrim]

Well, just in case you didn't know, the fix you linked me to last week-ish or so still seems to do the trick.

[Flagrum]

:megalol: unbelivable..the current update broke all uh-1 Skins again..great Job:music_whistling:

"again"? It was never fixed, afaik?

[cichlidfan]

Actually, it is more likely that the update removed your 'fix' which is what it does to all of your mods.

[fjacobsen]

Yeah..

 

Strange that such obvious easy fixes are repeated for serveral updates.

 

It´s good to have the minigun siund back, but I think some sounds are still gone. F.ex I can´t hear the clcik when I press the trimmer button anymore.

[Lizzard]

I know that I just have to fix my fix..what I meant to say was..the Skin Issue was one of the greatest mishaps in 1.2.6 and BST seemed to ignore it:)

I could see your point if they had fixed a lot of other things, but they didn't.

I'll post this again in hopes of getting an answer.

Reduce all sliders to 50% then adjust up to your liking from there.

What is the name of the key command to lower the pilot gunsight?

[Jona33]

RShift+M, then power on and turn up brightness with the mouse, wave it around till you get the green cursor.

I mean the name of the command as it is written in the "Action" column in the controls tab of the options menu. Not the actual keyboard command.

 

I want to map the command to my joystick. Sorry for not being clear enough.

[Lizzard]

Hi,

 

open the Controls Tab in the Options of DCS make sure you selected UH-1 Sim and klick on "all" then press RShift + M. The Cursor then jumps to the Command. If nothing happens you did not solve Problem 1

:music_whistling:..new Patch..so let`s start again..
