Fixed. Position of the air refueling connector.
Fixed. Flaps behavior in the Autostop sequence.
DCS: CH-47F by Eagle Dynamics
Added. Longitudinal Cyclic Trim (LCT) functionality in automatic and manual modes. LCT reduces fuselage nose down attitude as speed increases by tilting the rotors according to airspeed between 60 and 150 knots. This allows the fuselage to remain level for cargo and troops.
Added. Differential Air Speed Hold (DASH) functionality (WIP). As you increase speed, the DASH, (a long tube in the flight controls with an actuator on each end) will increase in length. If you move the cyclic back to center, the aircraft will still maintain airspeed. This allows you to keep the cyclic in a more natural, centered position when flying at higher airspeeds.
Added. ARC-201D and ARC-220 radios (WIP).
Fixed. Picture on the refuel/rearming screen.
Fixed. Thrust control lever animations.

Fixed. Engines do not start without boost pumps on.
Fixed. Ball moves in the incorrect direction when flying the ball.
Fixed. No force feedback option.

DCS: Mi-24P Hind by Eagle Dynamics
Added: Mi-24P Afghanistan Weapons practice mission.
