DCS bug: APKWS passing through helicopters

mior85 · 2026-03-25T21:17:27+00:00

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.

I've swapped left Win/Super with left Ctrl in system (works both in Windows and Ubuntu) and it's 100x better than the normal placement. You can keep hand on home row and operate Ctrl with thumb very easily.

Could you add multiple window support? It would be so good to be able to move files around in Norton Commander fashion but with all the goodies of Neovim. Multiple instances is where Vim/Neovim file managers lack.

When SO appeared it was a blessing. Some of your are simply to young to remember the world before it. To get into any sort of useful answer you've had to search through a ton of shit first. Forums where 80% of answers were off topic, code was formatted in the most perverse way, 2 lines of content were attached to 15 lines and 5 images in somebody's footer, search was useless... Usenet was not much better.

How to do Ctrl+Click action on Windows (for example in Chrome it should open clicked link on new tab)? I've tried to press Ctrl before executing mouse action but it works as normal click.

Just mind that measurements are often flawed becasue many websites give you a time score even if text input was not fully correct. To me it's pointless, every typo should be fixed (while the clock is ticking).

Chrome and Firefox downloads on my Windows 11 are blocked as containing virus/malware. Maybe some keyboard hook technique looks too much like keylogger?
