I installed the new patch and the new terrains, I can enter into the game but my chopper is sitting a couple of meters over the ground, and what is worse, When I take off my chopper begin to spin without control.
Any idea?


-Sir in case of retreat, were we have to retreat??
-To the Graveyard!!

Stratos, I had a different problem. I installed the 1.11 exec patch and then the new terrain over my 1.10.2 install and ended up with a black screen. No joy. I've disinstalled EECH entirely and will reinstall from scratch with the full 1.11 package when I get home from work tonight.

Stratos, I even get occasional CTD ("off map" conditions) when I use flight_model=2.
I will reset -for the time being- flight_model *ini parameter to 0 or 1 for other choppers than Hind (as suggested by Arneh).
It's a small problem that might be related with the new 'suspension' FM as Arneh has created.
Anyway, that might be a truly small glitch in an oh-so amazing! masterpiece that will sure be ironed out.

Same here. First 1.11, then the cockpits and terrain (without the AH-64 pit, which I have already installed).

I don't want to reinstall (disk is properly defragged) though.


- Edit: Rig config is in my signature, in case it matters. Drivers are 178.24 and the OS is XP64.

flightmodel=0 is the old model. Just change it in the eech.ini file.

I have the problem of the helicopter "hovering" above the ground too. I also have a white flash happen every now and then. Finally I got a CTD when I took control of an AI helicopter and pressed "g" to take manual control.

I encountered similar problems as reported by Reaper51.
Nvidia GF6800GT - 78.03 drivers.

I really have no idea what's causing it. But to narrow it down a little, does it happen if you use texture_colour=1? Or when flying other helicopters than the Mi-24?

Arneh, no sorry ... I tested with and without texture_colour=2 ... makes no difference.
It seems it happens just after I turn off the fan in the MI-24V, but also on other occasions and other helos.
It mostly *seem* to happen when the sim simultaneously has a slight 'hiccup'.
Maybe the GFX card framebuffer is full ? ... (my GF6800GT is limited in FB size), yet I never saw this with 1.10.2.
The enhanced textures are gorgeous and I am glad it seems to have nothing to do with that.
I saw this in the Hind and the AH64D.
I'll try some more.
My nvidia driver is quite old (version 78.03), so maybe it's just an error in the driver.
BTW I'm using (nvidia) FSAA which is known to cause quite some problems in some games.
I am now running with flight_model=1 and the problem with take-off (at mission start) above/below the ground has gone.

Same issues with ATI X1950 Pro. Happened with the Comanche and AH64. Did not happen at all with the Hind. Seems to occur concurrently with the start of ground control voice messages..

I reinstalled everything and all went well until I assigned my Saitek X52, the spins returned faster than ever.
In the positive aspect, my chopper now sits on the ground

You are right about the first part, yet the second part is not really that difficult to overcome.
Any 200 USD computer nowadays runs EECH v1.11 "as it should be played".
Whenever I Upgrade to "DCS type" specs I'll try to keep my old PC as long it works to play F4:af and EECH1.
Arneh will solve the minor patch problems ... no doubt about that.

It seems that my spins are caused by my Saitek X52 Throttle!! I put the throttle on the middle an the spins stopped. Ok, maybe someone can tell me how to configure EECH for my Saitek, so I can have throttle, rudder, stick and the HAT please?
Also Arneh, where can I get some onfo about HUD modes of the EECH Hind?

I've texture_colour=1 set in my config. Other helicopters? You mean there're other helictopers? =o

/end sarcasm =p

I don't know, all I've flown is the Mi-24.

Hallo everyone!

I found another little problem
If my hind is shot down and I switch to another hind, as soon as I hit G to take control, CTD happens, sometimes with "off map" report

Flight model changed to 2

another thing
gunsight - When I switch to weapons it doesn't come on. I try to hit Cntr+K it doesn't come on either, only when I let autopilot fly to initial point and turm weapons on itself. Strange.

Okey, may be these problems are related to the fact
that I installed last patches on the previous version 1.10.2

I just reinstalled everything from scratch.
EECH clean install + eech allmods 1.11
Plus recommended change of flight model in eech.ini

And.... Seems to be no issues anymore

So I recommend for everyone to install from scratch.
