If I can finish unpacking after move and get my system setup and back online by Saturday (not looking likely though) I'd like to join in fingers crossed, as I'm having Pc withdrawal symptoms, its scary what you can't do without Pc access these days,

If I can finish unpacking after move and get my system setup and back online by Saturday (not looking likely though) I'd like to join in fingers crossed, as I'm having Pc withdrawal symptoms, its scary what you can't do without Pc access these days,

So I've been playing about in DCS the last few weeks and have come across a few nice mods and tweaks 
you can try them here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B42jRT7D17ZidmpZcDluS095N0E/view?usp=sharing or here https://www.dropbox.com/s/h8fq3orqehnzvgo/_MODS.zip?dl=0
All except two (3) are useable in MP with no issues continue reading for details 
 
to install them you'll need JSGME mod loading tool
http://www.gamefront.com/files/21681483
 
Download & extract JSGME to anywhere on your PC,
go into the extracted folder and find the JSGME.exe file cut and paste it into your main DCS install folder (c:\eagledynamics\dcs world\) or similar
 
now run the jsgme.exe, when you first you'll be asked to select your mod folder and gives a default one called MOD and an underscore to the begining _MOD and select next / continue, this will add a new folde rnamed _MOD into DCS, this is where you place any mods you require to run, full instruction here http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=98607 (but a bit confusing)
 
next click Task  and choose Generate snapshot from the drop down list, this give a text file so you can compare any changes made by mods if required.
 
Now close JSGME
 
Download some mods I've included my list above first link ^^ 
It's already structured to run with no issues on latest DCS update 1.2.15
 
Download & Extract and copy to your new _MODS folder, then re run JSGME.exe
select all the MODS on the left side (Available mods) and click the right pointer to load them into DCS, now run DCS
 
click the left pointer to deactivate, DO NOT deactivate while DCS is running it'll cause crashes (make sure to deactivate before any updates to DCS are applied too).
 
My list of mods have some of the following and can also be found individually here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=127098
 
It includes:
SweetFX,
Hi-Res ground textures,
New Building textures,
A nice HDR effect,
Wicked Cloud textures that cast shadows,
A fix for the floating pods on the AI F-16's (really bugs me in replays), (Deactivate before joining MP unless it's active on the server your joining)
Hi-Res Roads,
Tarmac'd Runways (I really like these (not all runways get the effect which is cool adds some variation),
An edit for the missiles to give them a more true to life flight parameter (Deactivate before joining MP unless it's active on the server your joining)
A smoke effect for exploded items, the smoke colums are thicker & rise futher into the air making them more visible from a distance
An options menu edit that add extra view distances to the list (Very high & Ultra) 
A cockpit reflection mod which adds a nice immersion feel to being behind glass
A cleaner windshield for the Huey, F-86 and a few others
The list goes on....
 
I have some screen shots showing differences, i'll be adding to it over the next while here: http://www.ahoyworld.co.uk/gallery/album/8-dcs-mostly/

Some of you may be wondering why some of our long term users were banned permanently.
These members were banned for frequent rule breaking, unforgivable racism and abuse of our system.
They do not deserve your respect, or your sympathy, these members repeatedly broke our rules and are no longer welcome here.
We have a relaxed setup and we don't want to have to be strict so please don't abuse it.

yeah Yves Rossy has a few vids one show the construction of the first version,
 
and below were he attempts to fly across the English channel.
 
you can buy most of the kit from model plane part suppliers
$21grand for 4x Jetcat turbines a plank of carbon fibre and a kind helo owner is all you really need to get up and running
 

This is unbelievably cool..

For those that are flying the older aircraft (WWII / F-86, Mig15 & 21) with different channel frequencies see Lino's DCS Beacon map here - http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/588673/

 
 
Would be cool if we could get the Aires radio mod up but might be difficult on Short notice maybe future
 
 
it's like a DCS version (but been around alot longer) TFAR / ACRE for the coms and you use the in cockpit radio channels to broadcast over TS & receive comms between each plane

There is no substitute for experience, and you can only learn so much from watching a youtube videos,
for example you can't see what inputs he's making control wise on his keyboard / stick / pedals,
 
best suggestion is I'd make to anyone is use the editor get the feel for how Arma helos fly, then after a few straight hours practice, forget everything you learnt and jump into DCS and learn how to really handle a helo and then after a several straight days practice go back to Arma with some improved skills and adjust to the dumbed down physics & handling

There's only so much  we can do, trial & error is the only way to learn and then and only when   look for help, the answers are right in front of your face you just haven't been   'ed long enough
