I saw the EGT spike a bit, good call. You guys are great in this forum. Thanks for the help.

Very nice Speed. Thanks for the awesome post. Very helpful. I am so used to flying fixed wing airplanes in and out of the sim world, that I totally had to re-wire my brain to handle this thing. Holding the trim down sounds counter intuitive, but just like everything else in flying a helicopter... Ha ha. I'll try it and see. Oh, another question really quick. Can you start the second engine using the other one (crossbleed start), or must you use the APU always? Thx

Vitesse, I think that was it. I guess the Autopilot switches threw me off. I looked at them as actual autopilot switches, and not pitch/roll/yaw stab switches. You are a genius, an artist and a scholar my friend. Bien Joue et merci!

No, I think I forgot to do that. Is that it? I must have missed that part during the training video.

Hi All! So I just recently purchased BS. I never flew a helo before, so please be patient. I completed the training up to hover, and have relatively little difficulty handling the helo.... But when I create my own mission, cold cockpit start up, things are different: After the "after start and before take-off checks", when I take it up in the air, I am unable to maintain level flight, turn, or stay coordinated. It is like I am flying a completely different machine. It almost feels like I am sitting on the tip of a needle. Very unstable. I know I am forgetting something, maybe a stab switch, somewhere, on the before take off check. Can you help? Thanks a million

Wow, easy dude. I was just asking a question...jeeez.

I agree. I flew sims since I can remember. FS3 (in black and white) on my old 286 was my first one. When I finally flew my first real airplane, I had to break really bad habits. Before I went on to train on the jet, I practiced like crazy on my computer first. The basic Instrument skills were there, but all the CRM, procedures, limitations, flows and profiles had to be learned. As a matter of fact, flight sim did hurt me a little bit there too, for I am a slow learner.

Hahahahahahahaha, Very good ECV56_Finger! It worked and I am an idiot. I was jut pressing it and not holding it down. Thanks again!:thumbup:

Okay, I know this is a dum question, but after locking on to a target, on any radar mode, for any airplane, I can't fire my missiles. I tried space+AltR, configuring the joystick, re assigning the keys...etc. I am not new at Lock On, but can't seem to figure out how to launch them in this newer version. Can you help? Thanks a million.
