So what? The F-18 is not even on the list. Now did the inclusion of the Kuznetsov mean that there are russian carrier planes flyable in DCS? Does eating cabbage today mean the world is going to end tomorrow due to a massive onset of gas? :) I'll tell you because that is just how nice of a guy i am. NO it does not ;) Next time, try not to make assumptions on just a bunch of hot air Thanks for the laugh though. :thumbup:

EDIT: FileFront link (530MB, 1440X900): http://www.filefront.com/14452535/Walking%20in%20the%20air.avi "Walking in the air" A tribute to Russian Knights and Igor Valentinovitch Tkachenko. Display flown by me, Robert "FunkyMan" Damli. This is a display flown to honor Col. Igor Tkachenko, the leader of the Russian Knights that died in a mid air collision training for the event MAKS 2009. On August 16, 2009 two Sukhoi Su-27 fighter jets from the Russian Knights collided in mid-air during a test flight southeast of Moscow, killing the Knights' leader, Igor Tkachenko. More people on the ground were injured, and a women received fatal burns after one of the planes crashed into a house and started a fire. The pilots were training for the 2009 MAKS Airshow. EDIT: I had to reupload the video to YouTube due that I disputed the first one because of Sony copyright. I was to quick to dispute as I saw afterwards I was allowed to have the video with sound, but with an ad in the beginning in some countries. I have reuploaded it and not disputed it. (Dispute means you tell YouTube that the use of the copyrighted music is in "fair use". Filefront link coming soon! Just need to finish uploading it! Glad you guys like it! :) EDIT: Filefront link is out!

EDIT: This post describes how to use my TouchBuddy profile with a three monitor setup. See my later post further down in this thread if you only have two monitors. Hi all, I've been doing a bit more tinkering with my multi-monitor setup and have managed to get the view forward on one screen, Shkval on another and this: ...on a third (touch) screen. Thanks to TouchBuddy, all the buttons and switches are touchable (or clickable with a mouse if you don't have a touchscreen), and they all have the same effect as their VC counterparts. I've uploaded a short video here so you can see the profile in use (apologies for the quality, it was taken on my phone's dodgy camera). If you have three monitors and would like to try the setup yourself just follow the instructions below. If there's sufficient demand I might make a version for two monitor setups too. Finally, a big thank you to Zorlac for creating the excellent TouchBuddy and Wild Bill Kelso for his TouchBuddy Toolkit. Cheers, DD Installation 1. Download and install Touchbuddy. 2. Backup the following files: Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\BlackShark\data\scripts\options.lua Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\FUI\Common\StartImage-2.bmp Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Config\Export\Export.lua TouchBuddy\touchbuddy.cfg 3. Download this file to a temporary directory and unzip it. You should see four folders (BlackShark, Config, FUI and profiles) and a touchbuddy.cfg file. Copy and paste the BlackShark, Config and FUI folders to your Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50 folder, overwriting the existing files (which you've already backed up in the previous step). Then copy and paste the profiles folder and the touchbuddy.cfg to your TouchBuddy folder, again overwriting the existing files. 4. In your graphics card control panel, set your monitors to Dual View mode and all their resolutions to 1024x768. 5. Check in Windows desktop properties that your monitors are arranged in a horizontal row with the ABRIS monitor on the LEFT, main monitor in the center and Shkval monitor on the RIGHT. 6. Open the file touchbuddy.cfg in your Touchbuddy folder with Notepad and scroll down until you see the following line: lomac_data_file = C:\Sims\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\touchbuddy-export.dat Edit the path to match the location of your Ka-50 folder and save your changes. 7. Launch TB and load whichever profile suits the mission's starting conditions (either DCS-DickDastardly-prestartup.tbc or DCS-DickDastardly-inflight.tbc). Then click the "Let's Go" button and the panel should appear on the monitor on which you'll be viewing the ABRIS. 8. Launch the sim and select "Options" then "Controls" and change the key assigned to "Expedite Emergency ATGM Launch" to "J". Now load a mission and you should see a test card on your Shkval monitor during mission loading if everything is setup correctly. Once you unpause, the Shkval, ABRIS and payload strip should all be live and you'll be able to touch (or click) any of the buttons to trigger the appropriate key presses. N.B. The monitor on which I display the ABRIS is actually 5:4 rather than 4:3. If your monitor has a different aspect ratio then the image will be slightly stretched. Also, I've only tested this setup in Vista and the English version of DCS so I can't promise it'll work in XP or the Russian version (though I think it will). Limitations 1. It doesn't seem to be possible to obtain the state of most switches and button lights via lua so TB can only deduce what state they should be in by knowing their initial position and keeping track of the number of times they've been pressed in TB. This means that if you click a button in the virtual cockpit then Touchbuddy won't know about it and will get out of synch. (If this happens you can either continue clicking in the VC until the positions match up again or press the "Reset button status" command on the *TB* tab). 2. The CMS display can only show the currently selected program as the number of flares remaining per side isn't obtainable via lua. (The total number of flares remaining is visible in the payload strip, however). 3. The PVI-800 display doesn't change, again due to a lack of data from lua. Hopefully the forthcoming Physical Cockpit Interface Package will give us the ability to export things like the nav display and keypad lights, along with the CMS display and EKRAN (ideally in the same way that the Shkval and ABRIS are currently). 4. The button to change the Nav/INU fixtaking method (labelled NAV TG SHKVL on my version of the Nav keypad) doesn't work. This seems to be due to a bug in the sim whereby no matter what keys you assign to this function, they have no effect. The only way to trigger it is by clicking the switch in the VC.

Lol :megalol: You put a mirror behind you so that when you look back you can see your monitor reflection in the mirror. ;)

Absolutely! :thumbup:

AFAIK no. It wouldn't make sense. True.

I guess the reason why he didn't attack the MANPADs is because AI aircraft can detect infantry only when they start firing.

John, No doubt like a lot of the people within this forum over the years I have collected a mass of programs luckily some have been given by various Medical Companies and developers, while I am not proficient in all of the mentioned programs I am however VERY proficient in some. As Shaggy, Tomcatz, Tigrou and others will no doubt confirm, a lot of us use one program to do part of the work and others to get the finished article as good as it can be. When I'm doing my photo macrography I use Adobe Photoshop CS 4 suite for part of the process and Corel Paintshop X2, and other programs to get the finished effect I want or need, such as Nik Color effects, Auto Fx, etc, in fact any add-on that will help me get the effects I need. I'm sure that when you were a kid you helped your Parents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Friends, around the house or other location doing jobs for them, you were not proficient in all the jobs but you used limted knowledge, taking a little from here and a little from there, the point I'm trying to make is we all have some knowledge and we put it together to make a complete article in whatever form. John, what peeved me off more than anything was the way you attacked everyone with your attitude, I think you wanted to " shake " them up by being so in their face, in some instances that may work but on a forum like this that is the last thing thats needed, it may work at your place of employment or within a Military enviroment but not here. Remember that 95% of the people who make the mods have families and a full time job, they do these mods in their own time and mostly at their own expense, sometimes at the expense to family harmony. By all means put forward your personal view but use your words with more respect, thats all I'm asking. @ Shaggy, I'm in my early 50's so I have some of the " older and wiser " attributes lol.

Really? Maybe you should eat more fibre dude. Thats a long stay in a cubicle! Bet your legs were numb after. :megalol: Or was it a real short book? Reminds me of Robert Mason in Chickenhawk, commenting on the toilet facilities in one of the camps in Vietnam. "Real men can s**t in the open, in the middle of a busy camp. Sure, who's gonna watch you wipe your *ss." (Or words to that effect - haven't got the book in hand to quote exactly.) My book suggestions:- Chickenhawk - by Robert Mason Been suggested already but its such a good read so I mentioned it again. Goshawk Squadron - by Derek Robinson Novel/Fiction but very well written. Both hilarious and tragic. About WW1 aviators over the western front in 1918. Ghost Force, The secret history of the SAS - by Ken Connor Factual and well written. Covers most theatres of operation since SAS was formed.

The 16 is at least in the list, not so the 18. So as long as the pope is not posing nude for a promiscuous homosexual awareness campaign while eating turkish honey on a buffet for diabetic Kurds, it is safe to say the 18 is not going to be in the game during the next 10 years.

Кто говорил? Рекомендую перечитать соответствующий раздел мануала. Тублер ПНК включает часть систем, включаемых тумблером К-041.

More knowledgable persons can chime in, but this is what I understand of the real machine... The stick doesn't spring to center, A normal heli allows you to hold the stick in a position to maintain steady flight. This will be different for each flight, pending wind direction and speed, flying weight, airspeed, etc, but you feel THe forces on the stick and pedals, just like the steering wheel in a car. Your actions are based on what you "feel." You can only react to what you see on screen. A force feedback joystick CAN mimic the real thing because the servo motors can put the stick anywhere the software tells it to. It can mimic the different forces, resistance, and vibrations you'd feel in the real thing (I haven't used one yet, but I have used other FFB devices like Logitech's G25 for racing sims (and the jump in realism and control is amazing). FFB a big advantage, but not required to have fun with the sim. The new Logitech G940 will likely be the top retail FFB joystick once its released later this month. With a standard sprung stick, you don't NEED to use the trim, you can simply hold the stick in the desired position but you will be fighting the spring, and that gets annoying. To compensate, ED added the trim feature... The trim basically emulates the desired stick position and allows you to return the stick to center without affecting the heli's current attitude. Any movement thereafter is treated as if the stick were still in the trimmed position. This is why the "trim reset" button is so important, it will return the virtual stick and rudder positions to your joystick's ACTUAL position. I rarely use it, only as a safeguard if my trims get all jackified. Hit Ctrl-Enter and you will see the virtual representation of the major controls, engine throttle, collective, rudder, and stick position. It will help all this trim stuff to make sense. The diamond is the virtual stick position, so you can see what is happening when you click and release trim, stack multiple trims, or don't center the rudder. I can't fly without it. edit- The trim button interrupts the autopilot, which by itself has only about 20% authority over the total inputs. When you reset the AP (activate and release trim) the AP will recenter its authority around the new stick position, so it can maintain the flight attitude of the heli when the button was released.

Ah ah! Got it! The realisation that this was the default camera position for all missions led me to try out zooming out and use "save cockpit angle", which seems to have resolved the situation. Thank you. :) Itkovian

John's words are crude, but somewhere he's right... Of course, no one has to be a 3D expert to criticize a model. I know how much time is needed to produce a model, and it is never easy to accept some bad criticisms, even if they're justified. Cause modellers' ego is HUGE, it's often hard to call himself in question. ;) That's why I try to share as possible any progress in my works, to expose them to expert eyes. But where you're wrong, John, is about the blueprints. Excepted if you got the genuine blueprints from manufacturers, there are ALL wrong, and you shouldn't trust them as you do. They can give a good framework, but the only documents you can trust are photographs, cause the planes on them have always correct shapes... ;) Following blindly the blueprints is for sure the source of some inaccurate shapes, it is often the mistake made by modellers. This doesn't mean their work is bad, it is often excellent and they try to work as close as possible to their basis documents. But sometimes, they should take extra-time to verify their accuracy. Especially blueprints found on internet. Because you don't know the source, the resolution and how they are been digitized. But considering 3D models created by Lockon community, they're often much better than many payware planes. And some shits are VERY VERY expensive. That's why I keep supporting any 3D creator, and I encourage anyone to produce their own models if they consider the others as inadequate. ;) Cheers

Heres my favourite "dirty" skin. :music_whistling:

Maybe it is not a screenshot, but I find it relevant.
