Your best BS mission yet. I thought I better race up there, hehe. First I hit the comm pole. Next i tried to run the gauntlet, flares blazing. No way. Finnally I stood off and took out everyone I could find, then made it up. In that mission there turned out to be two "buses"---I mean I got the message the bus is down, then I was cleaning up and it appeared again, along with the "halfway up" message, I took taht one out too again I got the messge bus is down. Then I got so excited I crashed going home, hehe. The two buses thing ( I know there are other buses too)--well it could be RL confusion. Anyway, great work, great comms. I was going to bed then saw this..dam fun. PS oh another time I tried to climb around, but you have the ceiling set perfectly--I went totally blind, so there is no way up but the main valley(that I can tell anyway).

I haven't been in the vortex more than about 200 times. It rarely kills me now, even low. I probably am doing it wrong but I pull up on the collective and usually go lateral if i have room. Rpm warning goes off, of course, but I get out. It helps to catch it early.

yes I think that's usally when. Now how do you turn off heading hold?

I'm not sure about anything but vista64---for that I would forget prefinity and use the method shrubbo points to, far cleaner, no need to alt-tab or anything and seems even smoother. You just dump those files in your main folder and use the shortcut for your processor. Works great and nothing left down in the tray.

Shrubbo---it works great on the missions I mentioned above. I'm getting a solid 30fps at 2560x1600 on the ships delivering supplies, which is a heavy mission. Again TY sir. I'll rep those boys.

Shrubbo TY for that---I had missed those posts totally. I'm wondering if that method will also set both cores on "refly" I have no sound issues or any other and will test the wombat method further.

I can't wait to see the 64a personally. I'm wondering if we will be able to jump to the gunner and back to the pilot, and what kind of flight control we'll have at the gunner.

it does seem to vary alot what stick you are using. I am using my old ffb2 at the moment (ch in reserve), FD or AP the bird is easy to perform evasive action. But it does not fly point to point with AP like with the CH fighterstick. It's also tricky to get AH to work right--you can hover manually anywhere--but you have to use input. One thing I do notice is that sometimes all AP buttons are turned off seemingly by themselves--I dont' have emergency disengage mapped right now. But if you have a pro throttle, it would easy to go from FD to full AP with AH on a single button, since ch control manger takes mulitple keystokes well.

The problem, from pilot's POV is that the breifing map is so small sometimes you cannot but guess at some of the TP's and surrounding terrrain. This is not so realistic, because you know a real Ka-50 pilot would pour over sat pics and study terrain close before flight. Since the cockpit is now in english the toop tips are less a big deal.

TY for tip airway---prefinity and BS do not get along on my machine--I tried tonite, not only will it not set the second core, but a crazy sound glitch occurs with broken and crackling sound. Remove prefinity and all is well. Prefinity may not like vista 64 or my sound card. set affinty is fine however.

seems to run it fine--i turn up the fan, hehe

This is an issue which I can duplicate over and over. It only occurs on certain missions, e.g airbase under siege, and later campaign mission with supply ships in port. I have noticed it on several others. In addtion to specs below I have x-fi fatality pci-e, ch prthrottle, pedals, ms ffb2. Mission will play without alt-tab. Any alt-tab to desktop--you cannot return, though you hear sim in background, and it is listed as running in task manager. Computer in general will not respond untill DCS is killed in task manager. I alt tab to enable second core in processor. Again only certain mission will do this--but they will do it every time.

I threw up a simple acrobatics mission in the tracks missions, etc forum. You're clean with 10% fuel. I played for an hour, mostly external, just too see what i could do. It was pretty fun. You can get upside down and roll. The rolls seem to go better with less speed. It also seems like, with practice, an end to end tumble would be doable--some wild stuff happens by accident. You just have to very vary careful with the collective, hehe I only went down about 50 times. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=36024 There's also a track there which is entertaining. Its sim flight, but as you see i did it external. btw great landing roeze. And i like your loop technique---different from what i was trying. nice roll allo!

It's as simple as it gets. You're clean, 10% fuel. I was reading the thread in GD and got inspired. I add one track where I managed to get sorta upside down a few times---flying external so it's cheating, hehe. Post up a trk if you get some good stuff going. aerobatics.miz acro2.trk

Some great vids there ty guys

I love the sharp image at 2560 and my rig pulls it fine. What I don't like is that briefing maps are very small and tool tips on the switches are tiny too. Anyone know if there is somewhere in a config file where I might tweak the briefings and tools tips to display bigger? ty sirs

Great hovering is a must, since all those main guns and man pads just need a little glimpse. "you are under attack...." boom, hehe If all i had to do was hover, it would be ok--even with trim funky I can hover, land on the frigate, etc. But then you got to get into the TV and start scanning locking etc---one little bump and the hover is cock eyed. My CH stick seems to allow great auto-hover, but my ffb2 is far better in evasive manuvers---so I'm using that now---but it's very touchy in auto hover. Then i get all lined up and my cat jumps in my lap. all in all it's a lot of fun. Once I get my data link and abris skills down I hope to get online.

the worst is high speed, high pitch (watch that meter) and a quick roll. When I'm really moving, i lower the pitch before I try anything fancy.

hi tusler ty for practice here is your mission, but with rain and the frigate at 37 knots--hope you do not mind. ShipPractice2.miz

How many of these things are actually flyable today? eight? or maybe less? the mind shudders to think of a sim pilot strapping in to the real thing--of course compared to somebody who knew nothing about the KA-50, the chances of getting pilot and aircraft back in one piece would be much improved. It's too bad we don't have a prop sim--a la il2, with the realism of BS. I'd say the BS pilot would stand a better chance of survival in the Ka-50 than an IL2 pilot would in an LA-7.

80 triggers!!! I tried it once tonite. Frames were great. Loved the comms. My wingy was up ahead. I took out a stinger team and two bradleys on the flank. Was just in time to see the m1a1s in full charge, quite a sight---but they were slaughtered--not by me. I went down, then grabbed another ka and started back, but hammer had been taken. I took out a bunch of artillery. It all happened pretty fast. I will go again for sure---sounds like a number of variables. Nice to see those open country tanks really rolling----in open country. Thanks so much for all your work---hope we see some more mission in the future.

I spent a couple of hours with the original tonite. I love the staff fleeing, and the fireworks with the su-25's and the ammo. Heavily defended is no exageration. Thank you for your work.

theres a great track IR thread in here which tells everything---something like "my new toy"

I'm also happy with vista ultimate. Never built a vista machine before this---much better than i expected. Runs many old programs fine---even office 2k It will boot in 30 seconds or less--fastest boot and shut down i've ever seen on any machine. I like aero, but will try the setting mentioned above to disable in gam play. running 2560x1600 on 30" samsumg----it plays well.

OK sorry, dum question----add modifer. awesome
