ok sorry gocha

cool thanks! sorry i know i ask a gazillion questions about BS, but have another small issue... i find that the default cockpit view in the sim is a bit unrealistic as it's a bit of a "fisheye" effect? i usually zoom in a little. is there a key or anything that gives u the correct "human eye" zoom?

thanks! those look great! do u know if CH pedals are any good in BS?? I was gonna get some on ebay. i am just wondering if it will work alright in conjunction with my X52 stick? thanks again

Awesome thanks!!!! Sweet! and also, sorry i know this is way of topic, but do you know what mod it is for the runway textures that u see at the start of this vid? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFgdL7KnzEI and what other useful mods would u suggest for DCS BS (if it needs any) thanks again!

also, could some one tell me whats the best way to set the "curves" for the joystick in the sim to get the most realistic control outputs. i am using an X52 if that makes any difference. my control inputs/outputs seem alright so far except maybe just a little bit of lag between my control input and the time the stick actually moves in the cockpit.... but i guess thats just gonna happen with any sim right?

ok thanks very much guys... very helpful!

Hi guys, i keep learning new things in BS everyday and now i'm on navigation. could you please explain a few things to me. 1) is it possible for the autopilot to fly a route using just the ABRIS? or can this only be done with the use of the PVI-800? i mean is there any way of just selecting a WP on the ABRIS and then making the autopilot fly there? reason i ask is that you can set as many WP's as u want on the flightplan but the PVI-800 will only follow 6 of them... so i'm curious as to how this problem can be avoided? or do we just have to live with 6 WP's? Or fly 6 of them on autopilot and the rest using manual control of the chopper? 2) i am wondering about the actual function of the moving map (flightplan) on the ABRIS screen. how do pilots use it in reality? is it just a way of improving situational awareness and giving a "cool" bird's eye view of the area? or can it actually be used to fly the route manually just by looking where the next WP is on the ABRIS. i apologise for the huge amount of questions... any useful info u have will be really appreciated! thanks!

Thanks. wikipedia says lots of rubbish loads of time so i dont always tend to believe it.

thanks guys! ok i see what u mean... half the time the pilot is fighting his own autopilot, not the terrorists lol there's a new episode of "Smotr" TV program that went online today. Unfortunatelly it's in Russian (lucky for some like me though). It's a brand new episode about the Ka-50 operations in Chechnya in 2001. After watching it, I am totally convinced the Ka-50 is the most awesome strike chopper ever! (although be it without night capability (for now)) anyways, after watching it i am actually wondering 2 things. 1) According to "Smotr" almost every mission flown by Ka-50s was in conjunction with Mi-24s (i am not sure of how many choppers the strike group consisted of) and also Ka-29s as observation/command posts which send target details to Ka-50s. So i was wondering if anything like this is possible in DCS BS? Or are we limited to just our wingmen for info on new targets? is there any way of other choppers relaying new target info to the player? Is it possible to create missions to work together with Hinds in the same target area and share information with them? 2) How many Ka-50s doe the Russian Army currently have in service?

aahhh i see! thanks! that helps! another quick question: i realised that i cant enable the autohover function unless the trim is on! i dont really understand why it has to be on for autohover to work! will it be the same issue with "heading hold"? (i havent tried that function yet)

Thanks very much guys!!! I now have russian voices on the radio and its way better! however i wish we could get some audio for BS and Lock On like this: it would add such a realistic feel to the game!!! is there such a mod by any chance??? i mean with real recorded messages rather than "computer-like" voices telling you what to do as if the guy was sitting right next to you having dinner! i mean where's all the backgeound psshhhh and shhhh and stuff lol here's what i did with the recording from above: and the FD mode is still fairly confusing to me. i find it that the chopper is mach more stable in flight with FD engaged... and yet somehow: "Primarily, it disables the autopilot while maintaining basic stabilization." so i'm a little confused there... so its supposed to make the helicopter unstable? sorry if i sound dumb... i'll figure it out somehow :P Thanks for the help guys! much appreciated!

Hi guys, my 1st post here. i am new to BS... so far i think its by far the best sim ever created. i'm basically learning everything from 0. over the past 3 days i've learnt a couple of cool things like autohover, doing some traffic patterns ect ect. I have 2 small issues though 1) I am Russian but I have the English version of the game. Only thing driving me mad is the awefully accented voices on the radio... is there any way to change them to Russian??? 2) Could some one please explain to me the exact function of the "Flight director mode button" and when it should and should not be used. When i have no flight plan loaded, i find it MUCH easier to fly the helicopter with the Flight Director mode engaged... it stablises the yaw as i realised... however it suddenly screws everything up when a flight plan is loaded. so i am wondering... under normal operating procedures, when flying around in HOTAS mode, would you use the Flight Director mode? any info is much appreciated! thanks!
