Hey Chugster, the FM is pretty decent so most of the issues we experience come from lack of training or our struggle with the setup (trim options, saturation or curves). Did you check out Bradmick´s "flight related things" on youtube. A ton of useful information from someone who flew the RL Apache. Concerning your "issue":

Same here. After succesful repair and a revived George no access to KI Interface. Only re-slotting in a new helicopter cures the issue. Occured in MP singlethreading.

Marked as solved??? Not really. And it´s not dependent by weather.

Now this is something else then the turbine Nr2 problem

No you are not doing anything wrong. This issue is at least since latest big update (on Beta) - if you search the forum you will find older reports of that as well - it was cured and is now introduced again. What the older reports suggest (like collective is not detected as 0 seems not valid, so don´t fiddle around with setting axis or deadzone. Tested does not work. What works is during the startup of Nr2: bring the power lever Nr 2 out of idle until ng passes the "magic" 52%. This of course is not per manual and clearly a bug. Others raise the collective (which triggers warnings) until Ng passes 52%. Others do what sirrah posted.All is only a workaround to get it in the air. I am surprised not to find more reports on that because we (on a MP server) have it regularily now. Maybe ppl mostly have hotstarted aircraft And now.... no track dear ED stuff. Why.....it does not occur every time so it´s hard to track. Hopefully someone has ist recorded...

Yes, same here so something changed on ED´s side that is not compatible with the shown font/aircraft symbol unfortunately. Mod itself (TV for pilot) works.

Seems that the link is dead right now.

Hunter Joker, check my post linked above. It´s anput the "water" but gives you general information on reshade and my preset for download. I tried several settings but this is what I like most. Depending on clouds (percentage of skycoverage) I only tune the "sky temperature" and I am good to go. prod80´s shaders are highly recommended. Maybe you need to adjust gamma settings in main options of DCS to your liking.

Just in case someone is in need to have Akrotiri Charts..... Akrotiri Airport and Charts Cheers Willy

I use it with JSGME mod manager (and I believe it will work with other mod managing tools as well) and it passes IC. You need to go right into multiplayer server (I prefer using TTI Server) and it works. Once you leave the server the red IC Icon comes on. Restart DCS and you are in again.

Impressive! All those exaggerated reflection are gone, one huge step forward. Thanks Mustang for your work.

It´s a "bug" and in since a very long period now and it seems that it has extremly low priority in fixing (not to say nobody cares right now - sadly). IRL during startup only slight wobbling occurs to the point the rotor is up to speed.

If you are not fully satiefied with the water color (or other shades in DCS) you might as well try Reshade for DCS. I use it myself without any performance hits and it can be tweaked to your convenience. https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/218629-dcs-world-and-reshade Reshade download and highly recommende shader by prod80 Easy to use, does no harm to your installation, easy to uninstall, can be tweaked while DCS is running (SP/MP), multiple "presets" possible and can be switched off completely if you want to run vanilla DCS. What I like most with prod80´s shaders is that you can easily tune alot of them for example to the "sky temperature" - so just one setting affects others according to the degree of cloud coverage. There was a cool tutorial on youtube but I can´t find the link anymore Below my Preset using prod80´s shader files Willy DCS_Real Reshade Preset.ini

This means for example: 255 degrees for 31 NM from ROP VOR. So you can find them by navigating with your VOR needle (given that the helo you use is able to do so). The Huey has bearing but no distance measuring.
