DCS: UH-60L Blackhawk (Mod)

I just leave my throttle mapped normally. I do have a collective, and that is obviously setup to pull for power, but why mess with the rest of my reflexes?

The strangest bug has occurred after installing 1.1. When I load the helo in a mission, there is no visible model except the gauges…and only some of them (digital).

Also, the aircraft will fall through the ground unless I “catch” it with collective. The flight model still works and feels much improved…I think. Any ideas?

I would try re-installing the mod. Delete the UH-60L folder in your \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft folder first.

Agree. I’d delete the old install and copy the new version into the path above. If that fails, download and unzip the archive again.

Following up on this - my issue is that I had downloaded the main GitHub repository as opposed to the release zip. Fail on me.

Good old Github making users question their sanity. I hate that website :smile:
