Having the urge to fly some helicopters in DCS. Decided to set up new controls and HOTAS configurations. Taking a Gazelle armed with a minigun out for testing. Up and down, over the hills, between the hills and practice hovering. Taking in the beautiful view from down low in the map.

Should be…
F-16 cold and dark challenge! Looks like I missed a switch to bring the electrical system up to a fully functioning mode but the engine is running so that’s a win!
It’s been a long time since I’ve sat in one but this has brought back happy memories!

For some reason I picture in my head someone getting more distance throwing hand grenades from a bi-plane than he got from dropping those JDAM’s from a Hawg.

Eh, they go a ways, from 20,000’. I can get two off before the envelope closes. These are '31s so I don’t need to laser them in.
The shot is from the Ira’dib mission. There are a couple of targets with concrete buildings.
Oh, only taking 50% fuel. Still plenty enough to get the job done, and fly through the hotel on the coast.
LOOK BEHIND YOU! A SNAKE!

Who? I don’t get out much.
Using Thorn Falaise as a testbed for logging AI respawn calls, I decided to hop on and check out the action. This time I took a Bf-109K and shot down 27 aircraft in two sorties.
I was able to take off again and shoot down a further 3, but apparently the “out of group IDs” error also affects clients, and these weren’t tallied. My party came to an end when a P-51 and a Spitfire took an interest in me and my radiators were hit, forcing me to run away; the AI used its infinite warp drive to follow me back home, but flak took care of them. I came in for a landing but right as I stopped, the dreaded landing dedicated server error hit me and ended my fun.
