Welcome to Helicopter flying!

@Urwumpe and other Hip flyers: use the autopilot(s)!

It's more like a stabilization system similar to the one found in the Ka-50.
It offers pitch/roll and yaw stabilization (which I keep enabled at all times) and also an altitude hold function for those longer flights.

I do that, its part of the standard take-off procedure after all. :lol: Still it is hard to keep the helicopter in one place.

DCS World crashes for me. Good thing I didn't buy any addons yet.:thumbsdown:

 

[Fabri91]

Could you please list the main specs of your system?

 

[Donamy]

Where can I find that easily ?

 

[n122vu]

Feeding the troll...
Windows (7 or earlier):
Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Information

Windows 8:
[Windows Key]+X->Command Prompt->Type systeminfo then hit [Enter]

Hm, the reason for your crash might be related to using a 32-bit OS, which limits the amount of memory available to a single application to about 2GB, but, still, it should work.

Does a specific error appear?

The 3.25 GB of memory are...strange. Do you know how they are arranged?

 

[Donamy]

no error, just CTD and I lose my screen background. Don't know how they are arranged.

How much memory does your GPU have? I have 1.5 GB exclusive

 

[Hielor]

Are you running it from Steam? I had some issues running the Steam version of DCS world. Using the download from DCS instead seemed to work.

 

[Donamy]

Not running steam.

I have

Total Physical Memoy 4,096 MB
Available physical memory 2.22 GB
Total virtual Memory 2.00 GB
Available virtual memory 1.96 GB
PAge File Space 5.09 GB

Does this tell you anything ?

 

[n122vu]

Guys, correct me if I'm remembering wrong from my Windows XP/Desktop Tech days, but is his virtual memory not set a little low there? I'd always heard it should be set Custom at 1.5 x Total RAM for both min and max amount (to keep Windows from resizing it on the fly).

If so, in your case it would look like:
(*)Custom size:
Initial size (MB): 6144
Maximum size (MB): 6144

Ok, finally updated. I'd be ready for online flying now.

 

[n122vu]

Just received my serial for the Mi-8. Will download this evening. Also have the A-10C to get up to speed on, but up for a flight probably tomorrow evening (US EDT).

Wow. The Mi-8 sure likes to dance, doesn't she?

 

[Urwumpe]

Wow. The Mi-8 sure likes to dance, doesn't she?

Absolutely... but it gets better with some training. I can almost hover now.

 

[n122vu]

The early vortex ring state is pretty annoying during landing.

I see what you mean. Wow. That's brutal.

Last night in a short warm up mission.

We were both successful in not beeing shot down (and actually completing the mission objective), but took still some damage (he had lost his complete hydraulics).
