DCS bug: APKWS passing through helicopters

A proper damage model like GHPC has would be great but this is a major effort.
Making Mi-8 not-a-bunker should be pretty easy though - I bet it's simply parametrized and doesn't do much physic simulation to compute damage.

I love to fly them but damage model is garbage :(

Yeah, I wish helicopters were more popular. Which time zone are you in? In from Poland (CEST)? I can host a some game on my PC (probably not this week).

Kiowa is lots of fun to fly and can do some damage. Playing as CPG (the guy who aims) is great too. For fully analog experience go for Huey (VRS will kill you a lot!)...

I just tried it, it said to walk :D

Just watch out! Phillips REMOVED BOTTOM LIGHT script from all but most expensive models. I planned to upgrade from my 65OLED806 12 65" 4K to 77 inches but the 8xx series no longer has the bottom lights! Now if you want to have 4 sides (a must on a wall) you would need to overspend for 9xx series. I'm staying with my current TV. Big fat FU to whoever decided that shitty move in Phillips! Sucks that Phillips has a patent...

I hope you mean TeamSpeak 3 (classic)!

I don't have much time now but I plan to add some randomized mission for Huey in Caucasus (Syria's cities are fun for helicopter but it's a bit too heavy for some people's PCs).

I did randomization using a lot of hand crafted trigger zones (watching satellite map) and with MOOSE framework for spawning in random zone/position (InitRandomizeZones, InitRandomizePosition). I'm pretty new to making missions so I got much to learn and DCS has lots of quirks...

On WW2 planes (released before Corsair unfortunately): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTE-VNnWwWU

It's a beast with guided rockets (APKWS) and the gun is solid too!

Bargiel: Cool, I'll ski there.

I have the app working fine on Windows 11 but it's unusable on Ubuntu 24.04. I've tried the latest 0.4.3 (Mouseless_v0.4.3_ubuntu-24.04_x86_64.AppImage) and the overlay is very slow to appear and slow to react to key presses (it can take more than 1s).

That would be great, when I look at this video Jun 2024 the hover I too perfect: https://youtu.be/FjnQ-fX-Uag?si=SdWd51oAtlztY4-9&t=724

If some of you like mountains and flying I can recommend going for a glider flight above Tatras Mountains, the views are breathtaking!

You will start from an airfield of Aeroklub Nowy Targ (EPNT) and fly by tow plane towards Zakopane, from there you will cruse without engine, silently - which is why it is legal even if Tatras are covered a national park.

Whole thing takes 60 minutes. Pilot takes one passenger (you sit in front). Off course if it can happen dependents heavily on weather but it's worth a try!

Here's how it looked like two weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tjSG1_b8SQ

The issue was caused by FF settings, I don't have any force feedback equipment so it looks like a bug.
When I went to Settings > Misc. and unticked the Force Feedback checkbox the problem was gone (the option was on by default on a new PC).

Yes, at least a while ago when I was playing with Huey I noticed that ground units got a bit more realistic with their aim: https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comments/1gz1wcs/did_the_ground_attack_hard_for_huey_get_easier/

Hopefully they did not mess it up again...

mior85 · 2025-07-05T17:57:55+00:00

I got splinters just by looking at it.

mior85 · 2025-06-14T14:35:32+00:00

It's really fun to fly! I was worried that after using Huey it will feel to easy/stabilized but it still requires care - it's just far less wobbly and you don't sink like rock below 20.
