Referring to control-mapping in DCS and the P-47:

A cool feature in DCS is that you can map controls airplane-specific, so you can use your left-hand throttle as the turbo-lever.

Absolutely - I don’t fly British planes very often in GB because I can’t map their weird breaking system to my pedals without f..king up the breaking system of German/American planes. 

[BladeMeister]

Here is a one time fix to map controls in GBS. Copy and paste your current inputs folder into a proper JSGME folder structure and label it maybe, Allied Fighters except P47 or whatever your profile is set for. Copy this to your JSGME MODS folder. Open GBS and make the control corrections for say the P47 and then exit game and repeat the procedure above and label it P47. This will allow you to create an input profile for as many planes as you want. Simply use JSGME to swap to the desired profile before you start GBS and then you are ready to go. I agree DCS has a better system, but this is a functional workaround. Maybe this will help some with GBS inputs. I have profiles for FC Entente, FC Central, P47, Allied Fighters, Allied Bombers,.....etc.

The editor in DCS is even better still for us ‘power users’  

 

 

 

I had about half an hour to test Hind more before I left the house yesterday.

I swapped the huey with Hind in hard ship landing. And had 29 minutes of flying.

To me that means a lot, do what the f*** you want in a hartbeat

P-47 намного лучше смоделирован в DCS. Конструктор миссий в DCS также намного лучше для непрофессиональных пользователей, чем версия Ил-2.

мне наоборот в дкс не понравился. нет. текстуры. блеск и прочее сделано хорошо. мне не понравилось то. что он запредельное манёвренен! радиус разворота. время. оно чрезвычайно мало. в ил-2 оно почему-то очень высоко (27 сек).

 

очевидно. что истина где-то посередине

 

on the contrary, I did not like it in the dcs. no. textures. glitter and other things are done well. I didn't like that. that he is extremely maneuverable! the turning radius. time. it is extremely small. for some reason, it is very high in the IL-2 (27 seconds). obviously. that the truth is somewhere in the middle

как они сделали именно такую модель я пока не понял

 

I have not yet understood how they made exactly such a model

[Bremspropeller]

Some older shots..

 

 

Is that guy smug or just determined as duck?

 

I like FARPS.

Dude, he literally just said he's never flown a Hind.

In fairness, you don't so much fly a Hind as beat it with a stick to get it to do what you want.

This is for you @STURMI

I know you love the ‘big butts’ version much better though. ?

 

 

 

Sturmi was just PM’ing me out of the blue about how much he loves rap music, and Kanye West etc etc...kinda of a weird dude. Didn’t even know him before that PM.

Cyprus is absolutely awesome for helo-ops!

 

See the Hind?

 

 

There are lots of UN helipads all over the map.

 

That old castle kind of asks for some Monte Cassino type of operations...

 

 

After splashing a couple of very bullet- and rocket-proof Mi-8s...

 

A wild Gazelle in it's natural habitat...

 

Sneaking low over the rooftops.

 

Looking for some steamy HOT action.

[DBFlyguy]

New Forrestal pics HB just posted on their Facebook page:

 

 

 

 

It's looking great! Can't believe they are releasing this free for all along with the AI A-6E (don't even need the Tomcat) Hopefully deck crew will be added down the road

 

 

Also, Razbam dropped some pics of their BO105, which begs the question, if a helo has no guns...is it still a "gunship" ??

 

 

 

[Gambit21]

Looking amazing.

Since the standard has been set however, they pretty much have to meet it now. (deck crew)

Razbam needs to update us on the Mud Hen.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the F-15E too, I don't live too far from SJAFB.  Last update pic was this from April, at least they've got it flying which hopefully is a good sign

The Bo 105 will be pure awesomeness. The 105 is one of the few helicopters that are fully aerobatic.

Some more grainy action over 2000s eurodance music...

 

Heeresfliegerwaffenschule Bückeburg...

 

 

[DD_fruitbat]

I think Tom has got the helicopter bug ?

 

Edit, did anyone else find the commentary on the first vid the post before the the above hilarious. Also I don't hate dance music (in my 20's in the late 90's....), but that is such a weird choice of music for the last vid linked, lol.

I had given up.BO105

Glad it continues. It will replace my Gazelle

[Arnold voice]= true: 

There’s no choppah without the whop...whop...whoppah!

[Arnold voice] = false

 

 

Speaking of the Huey...how is the Huey compared to the newer choppers - up to standard still?

 

It’s the only chopper other than the Cobra that interests me.

Well...Blackhawk...

Huey is iconic in this game too, not only for real. It is less powerful than others. Systems are quite realistic. Reason I fly it less is my preference to the MI 8.

But it is the chopper I fly most quick missions. It is a must have.

Gazelle is very responsive, and quite fun flying low and fast with.

[Gambit21]

Reckon for the most part only Murican iron stirs my blood...unlessin it’s a Zero.

...or a Tempest.

...sometimes a MiG 15

The Huey is a great chopper - loving it!

Huey and Mi-8 are my favorites in DCS so far - don´t like the Gazelle (waiting for the FM overhaul which should come after the BO-105)

The Blackshark is a bit too advanced system-wise for my taste.

 

Got the Mi-24 as well but haven´t had much time since it was released.

 

Long story short - if you like choppers and the Huey interests you, getting it is a no brainer imho

 

 

edit: Doesn´t DCS have a trial progam at the moment? I think you can try out modules for 14 days. So a great opportunity to test the Huey

It definitely is a cool lil chopper, I enjoy blasting tanks with it in ARMA 3.  I'm still holding off for the Kiowa and Apache though.  I've been tempted to get the Huey, just because ...but I still don't see how that thing isn't just a death trap in DCS, no real useful weapons, pretty much easy pickings for everything else on the battlefield, it is cool though.

Not really advanced, it is quite powerful. But not really what I look for in a chopper

I quite literally couldn’t stand up I was laughing so hard.

[Lusekofte]

The only thing that I have without hall sensor is no playing up, damn inconvinient , considering it is my collective. And Hind is finally installed.

So , having no time for fixing, despite my scepticism I ordered that Virpil collective. 

Cheap and I hope adequate

Sometimes wives have no idea about humour at all. Bless ‘em. 

[Gambit21]

So at this juncture I can now do anything in the DCS editor that I could in the IL2 editor, plus a lot more...I mean a lot more. 

 

This means I’m out of ‘learning curve’ mode, and into production mode. It happened quite fast. Not that I’m not still learning new things, but I can pretty much just build, and realize my vision. There are almost zero “crap, I wish I could do x, y or z” situations. 

 

Want the AI to attack low and fast along the road (instead of “sorry, I only circle for 5 minutes then attack at 40 degrees from this direction) no problem. Want your lead to join up with a MiG and escort it? Sure. Want to script an immelemen at the merge? No problem!

 

The the only thing I’ve wanted to do but can’t is start AI on parking with the canopy open, and make an aircraft drop flares on cue, and there might even be a script for that. So far I’m staying away from scrips as A. They’re not necessary and B. it’s a recipe for a broken mission at some point.

 

Just with the editor functionality, it’s like having a full set of brushes finally.

This server is one that does not come up often in casual conversations about DCS multiplayer so I wanted to turn people onto it, I think it's really good and fun!

I'm not sure that using FW 190s in Zero skins in the video isn't a little misleading though.

They aren't the first to skin the FW as a Zero, don't see the harm since it fits the area.  The AI zero from Leatherneck will come soon enough. 

 

Really liked that the used the "The Pacific" theme, LOVE that miniseries!
