Thanks guys. Quick question, does the current Mi-24 Hind have a heads up display? No, at least not one that shows flight information. I think there might be an aiming reticule, but haven't flown the Hind much. I started adding one that could be switched on/off via the ini file as a "cheat", but I didn't complete it.

OK, I re-read the manual and there is not an automated bob-up feature. Bob-up engages a display screen and lets your wingman know what you're doing. Do we want an automated bob-up function? I could set one up using a second press of the "O" key and use it to toggle up/down motion. You would use it in Hover mode. Yessss!!! Marc..

Well, I suppose I can add it to my list to look at, I haven't dug into any of the autopilot code. I did notice it's a bit over-aggressive and rides on rails. My current list includes the following now:
Fix the Air_Density problem **DONE** Fix Hover-Hold **DONE** Fix Altitude-hold **Halfway Done** Add in auto-Bob-Up **Started** Update all of the physics parameters for all of the helos **Started**
Go through all of the FM2 helos and fix various physics problems Take a look at the auto-pilot to see if I can fix it That's fantastic Marc..

Javelin I think everyone use some kind mapping keyboard software, so it's not a problem do what you think is best. "1.16.2alpha executable " do you have any description of what is in the changes? I do not have access to the repository.I suspect that the cockpit lighting, something else?

OK guys, I have a functional question for you. I have the pop-up maneuver working. I'm calling it a pop-up maneuver because I had to use the R-SHFT-P key to activate it, the EECH event handler wouldn't let me reuse the O key. "P" for pop-up.
Option A: Right now it toggles. Press the key once and it pops you up 20 meters, press it again and it brings you back down.
Option B: We could change the way it functions and have R-SHFT-P pop you up in 20 meter increments, hit it twice to go up 40 meters. And we would use the R-CTRL-P to bring you back down in 20 meter increments. Harder to coordinate with your fingers, but more flexibility in heights.
Which Option do you like? Vote now and vote often.
P.S. I have the Altitude-Hold function working too, I'm testing it and making adjustments to the settings. It works most of the time, but it has trouble with vertical walls. You're going to have to steer around them. I'll put a 1.16.2alpha executable up for you guys to test with in a day or two with all of my upgrades. Option B Marc..
