Good grief...now I've seen it all.

Hello everyone, Just saying hello,as i just joined this forums and this is my 1st post.:) First off i want to ask NOT to be hated at or w/e,for not finding the information i am looking for,or for making a similar topic to a already existing one.:music_whistling: Now : I just bought Black shark 1 from Steam and do i qualify for the 20$ discount of BS2?Also I'm buying A-10 tomorrow(steam again :/ ).:thumbup: Anyway to the Black shark questions: I have a lot of them.Can i be directed to some videos/training missions? How to start-up,how to turn on the targeting screen in the middle? Also,is there a key mapping image similar to this (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=62548),for the BS controls?:helpsmilie: I have alot of questions,and i'd love to have a friend or two who are mature veterans(or good at this game and just normal people)so i can have people i can ask questions to?Ofcourse if they are willing to.:helpsmilie: Also i'd love to join a squadron,but i'm pretty sure no one wants people with no experience whatsoever in flightsims.I know how to use TS/Ventrillo anything. Basically i need help too cause i don't have a joystick yet,(will buy one in the next 1-2 weeks) and TrackIR.I need suggestions on what joystick to get.I have my eye on the HOTAS Warthog,but i accept suggestions from experienced people.:joystick: Also last thing : Thanks for any help i get,i appreciate it.I'm happy to be here and looking forward to learning and flying with some of you guys. Also this is my steam profile if you want to add me and "teach me" (give me advice/fly with me) http://steamcommunity.com/id/Jok3R_Her3/ I accept any people,i love playing with someone.:pilotfly: Thanks for reading this,sorry it turned out so big :book:

Found this on youtube, pretty amazing. Don't know if it was posted before but here it goes:

As Topol-m stated, my thread, specifically this page here has my screenies for what I'm getting now and the settings I used. I'm also running the "no shadows" mod. Those overcast missions in the campaign are brutal. What I did was open them and edit it to clear sky, at least it made it playable for me.

Those are the ones I use and they work great. Needed some curves set and an axis reversed but otherwise wonderful. I'd definitely wait for them to go on sale though. They are normally $100 but often can be found as low as $70.

Still a myriad of buttons you need to press, ie at startup, Master Arm, TGP on etc etc so you'll need a mouse at least for the interactive cockpit. That said, when the going gets rough you'll be more than OK with the HOTAS and MFCD's.

This; OMG!! Look at this, so freeking bad, you can't even see 1 mile ahead. And then that awfull HUD and empty cockpit, no details whatsoever. Really, these people have no idea how to make a proper model of something; And then the indicators, as if an helicopter is ever going to pull 40G tssss what a morons. And then those cars, they look so tiny, so unrealistic. No then DCS THAT'S an awesome and realistic game. Look at that cockpit, all the buttons and switches, just like real. And they work to, how awesome!!!. Ohhh and look at those gauges and the HUD just like in real life. And then that awesome view, even at low altitude it seems never ending. BF3 devs really could learn something from the crew that made this. There maps are pathetically small.You can RUN across them in under 10 minutes. And then this, how realistic everything is and to scale, this aircraft carrier dwarves a SIXTY FEET helicopter. So awesomely real, its unbelievable. No then those tiny wee carriers in BF3 they look like small dinky toys. And then those clouds and the sky, so real, infact BF3 doesn't even have a sky, just some kind of weird mist. And then the menu's of both ARMA2 and BF3 to setup your game, there just pathetic. Especially BF3, and it only supports a single controller, can't even use both rudder pedals and HOTAS at the same time. Heck, i cant even do some basic setups like inverting axis. So lame, those Defs over at BF3 really are cheap ass bastards. Now lets stop comparing cessna's whit SU-33's and appreciate each game for what it gives us shall we? Theres a reason DEVS of a game make certain compromises where they do. Having an 700x700km map in ARMA/BF3 is pointless thus they make it smaller whit more eye candy. Having more eye candy in a flight simulator is pointless if that means you can't fly higher then 500 meters and no furter then a mile or two. ~S~ And if DCS is really that bad, please by all means go play BF3, whatever makes you happy. ps, in case you were going to say something about there being no pilot in the cockpit and how unrealistic that may be; A, you can enable it B, its out by default so you can see important instruments and flick necessary switches.

Where does one start......... Jolly Good. Assurance? You serious? In any event, if you have A-10C running, BS2 should be about the same, give or take a couple of FPS. Oh yes, definitely no assurances on the afore-said statement. Because they cannot? That right there should set the alarm-bells ringing. Cm'on - do the reasonable thing and trust in the advice of your peers. Read the tech-support and PC Hardware forums. It's all there. This is what you get: For more info - see EULA: [ATTACH]59501[/ATTACH] There are NO money-back guarantee terms. You cannot take the product home 'On-Appro'. licence.txt

Besten Dank für deine Tipp´s. Ich bin ja noch lange nicht am Ziel angelangt. Da wird bestimmt noch das eine oder andere geändert. Kippschalter fehlen mir im Moment auch noch. Wenn die da sind geht es weiter. Gestern hab ich mit nem Analog Mini-Stick aus nem alten PS2 Controller experimentiert. Selbst damit läßt sich ne A10C butterweich durch die Luft lenken. Die USB Karte ist echt super vielseitig. Weisst du ob man unterschiedliche Konfigurationen erstellen und dann per Tastendruck oder Schalter anwählen kann? z.B. um die UFC Zifferntasten gleichzeitig als F Tasten zu benutzen. Gruß Caesar

I'm going to post a complain thread soon myself about why the hell the makers of Angry Birds have been so sparse on the graphics. I mean, c'mon! The graphics in Angry Birds are awful compared to, say, let's find a matching competator that is about the same game. Ah yes! Crysis? Why can't they at least try to make the graphics in Angry Birds look like Crysis?! Damned those developers at Angry Birds, they obviously have no idea how to make good graphics..

Crank up Arma 2 visibility to 150km - that's the visibility range in DCS, then try to compare ;)

Выстрел первый, предупредительный.

Т.е. если я потребую у кого то трек из кабины он мне его обязан предоставить?

Совсем уже читеры прихерели, статус им подавай. Альфа, пока от кого-либо из вас не будет видозаписи полетов - все вы читеры, литающие без радаров. Да что там видеозапись, вы даже трек боитесь отослать.

Buy a second license for a second computer and host a 24/7 puplic server.

I'm using this also. It's the best freeware you can get.

A freeware audio editing software. You can record from a mic and export as .ogg. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ You can also save em in the GSM 6.10 codec for .wav to get pretty small files also.

Buy 30 more licenses, and present it to 30 random persons who would never bother to spend money on such product and never know about such a great simulation. Perhaps the'll become infected. :-)

Интересно, сколько раз к этому времени будет перепродано одно и то-же в разных "обертках".

I tried to use my 40" led lcd once, but i found it too blurry nothing beats screen resolution ;)

Believe me, I'm informed. On this page are offered repeatedly ribbed models from other games. The generator is an example. Its from "Left 4 Dead"!

Когда только начал летать еще в ГС, были такие отважные ребята, которые сидели на РП. Я тогда не мог понять как они это делают, и логическими умозаключениями додумался что это должно было делаться так: В миссии должен быть специальный ЛА, если на него сядешь то на F10 появляются свои и вражеские ЛА. Потом правда узнал, что делается все по другому, но мысля осталась, почему бы так не сделать? Решается вопрос что РП не может сам летать и не надо устанавливать доп. ПО.

Hi Swabie! Can you watch this YouTube vid I made on Ground Crew interaction, and let me know if you are doing all the required stuff? The sound came out very low..so please turn up your volume. Don't forget to turn your volume back down when your done! Watch it in HD for best results. Also, in order to contact Ground Crew/Rearm you need to be at an airbase that is under control by your coalition, and is populated with units at the base. I dont know if the training missions met that requirement, as it's been a while since I flew them. Welcome to the forums, and the HOG!

Thats A good pickup Kuky. They are moving just fine in the SU27 and SU33 but not as you say on the Mig29. I wonder if its just a 3D Animation issue or whether it affects the FM ... Devs want to comment ? From the German Flight Manual:

May be the game is considering empty plane but with the weight of gun shells. Just my 2 cents. ;)

Well, I thought that the in-game encyclopedia is a reliable source :) However the book by Yefim Gordon - Sukhoi Su-25 Frogfoot (by Aerofax) states the empty weight as follows: Su-25T - 10670 Kg Su-25TM - 10740 Kg The webpage http://forum.valka.cz/viewtopic.php/t/756 sets the Su-25TM weight as 10600. The devs have probably the best sources and maybe it is worth checking.

...when defeating a tethered ballon in BFM was considered an achievement... :D

As a side note, if you feel limited by your controller while waiting for an opportune time to purchase a new stick or HOTAS, you can always make use of the various gameplay options to simplify flight control, avionics etcetera. That said, I definitely recommend spending some time with those tutorials. Might take a while, but it will be very rewarding when you find yourself "getting it". :)

Hehe, is this your first sim?

Stuka, this reminds me of the parking situation on my block! now we just need some fire trucks:)

Jeffyd, The easiest way to get all those templates in your editor, is copying the templates.lua file from the download into your "%userprofile%\Saved Games\DCS Warthog\MissionEditor" folder. Make a backup first of the existing file, because it will overwrite your own templates if you have any. You can add them manual too. To do so, open the mission file included in the download. And select one of the units. Click the template icon on the left side in the editor. A new window opens to the right. You give the group a name, and click "save template" to add it to your templates: Most of the units in the list, are just a line-up of all units that are to be found in a battalion, platoon,.... It's up to you what groups you use in your missions. The reason I divided all different units in subgroups, is that you are not forced to deploy a complete battalion for instance, but you can put a single platoon out of it on the map for your mission. For the same reason, almost all groups are "lined up" in the template file. It's up to the mission designer to decide where to actual place them, and in wich setup. The one special template in there, is the farp template. It's a group of vehicules lined out in that way, that they form the outline of a farp, with the heli pads in it. This allows mission designers, to place their farps exactly where they want them to have tham, and put units on the farp without having to check 20 times in the running mission if unit placement is correct. After all units are place, you can delete the farp template group again. The only thing you have to take in account, is that you place the template, and the actual farp structure in the same degrees. Here a few screens to explain more: The FARP template: The FARP structure: In mission: Framerates are affected by the amount of units/groups you use in your mission. You don't have to use them all at once :D Hope it's clear to you now.

Please make FC3 at least runs with the same level of smothness than FC2. I don´t ask for anything more. Viewing the diffrerence between BS1 and BS2 in FPS, my only hope is that the same don´t happen with FC2 and FC3.

This will not be a patch. It will be a paid-for add-on title for those who have already purchased LockOn and/or FC2.

А что тебя бояться то? Один флуд... :) Это относится к твоей персоне в равной доле. P.S. Прошу модераторов почистить ветку от очередного флуда. Спасибо!

Мюррей, если ты нашел себе покровителя из ЕД, который не дает тебя минусовать, то это не повод делать из нас всех дураков.
