Many thanks for the reply. Yep - mission screen seems odd, but if yours appears the same then I am happy that either mine ain't broke, or both of ours are and its just one of those things! :D The Alt hold seems odd, as when on baro settings it doesn't actually appear to hold IF you make an input. It does if you don't, but I have found if I set the aircraft up for S&L flight then I can achieve alt hold without the Alt Hold push button being pushed.:joystick: I have scoured the manual:book:but cannot really find any additional guidance on the subject. I guess ultimately it doesn't matter, as I can fly at a particular altitude either using RadAlt or manually, thinking RadAlt being the better option when down in the weeds in the FEBA anyway....:gun_rifle:

Mission Screen - select the mission option on the right hand side in DCS world. Understand the basics of altitude hold but... If I have RadAlt selected on the RH panel, then hit Altitude hold when in straight and level flight, I get an advisory on the overhead panel, and if I make cyclic pitch input, I can change the altitude whilst holding an input, but if I stop and go 'hands free' then gradually the altitude hold brings me back to my 'held' height. If I have Baro selected, then hit altitude hold, no advisory appears, and I can easily climb/descend with cyclic inputs, and the autopilot doesn't return me to my height when I release the cyclic.

Hi Marcos, glad to hear you are getting into it.... I am still plugging through BigfootMSRs training missions, often repeating them so things start to become second nature, whilst flying the odd combat mission, but then scuttling back to do more training!!! Still trying to get the hang of the FFARs, and to fully undertsand how altitude hold works. :joystick: Understand the concept, but not how it is applied. Have you tried reducing the size of your lasing window, as that may help with the overshooting issue? Can you also do me a favour, and look at your mission screen in World, and let me know if you have 6 yellow crosses in top right and bottom left of the screen, and you have faint text on the main screen that runs behind the mission pane. I am sure at one point I had a proper graphic...?

Ahhhh crap! Again that comes down to me looking for similarity!!! Could of sworn there was tabs though! Must have had a senior moment!!! Just seems odd though that you have to 'trawl' for missions within the main program. How are you getting on now Marcos - from one of your last posts I guess you are now starting to enjoy rotary wing...?

Anyone had this issue before? I fire up DCSW 1.20, with A10c, BS2 and SU25 modules installed, and if I select Missions from the right hand side all I see is the Mission Description box and the pane on the right hand side showing the selected drive and any available missions. I am fairly certain there used to be a set of tabs so you could select the aircraft you wished to fly? Additionally the background picture has all but disappeared, and there seems to be some code running down the page in quite a faint font. Any ideas on a fix - without re-installing. Sure it will be something to do with a lua file - but which one???:helpsmilie:

Cheers Chaps, However, think I'll go with the easiest option, and just remap them... Ta!

Many thanks BigfootMSR. Now, does anyone know how to port over a saved controls 'lua' file without it corrupting from DCS2 to DCS2 in World???

BigfootMSR - no problems. Unfortunately I am one of those people that will spend ages trying to get things to work in the standalone, despite them being available and working fine in DCSW...!!! Guess that comes from my old experiences with PC games where ages were spent getting games/sims up and running satisfactorily! One thing that I think is missing though, and again apologies for expecting too much, is a set of briefing notes in a similar vein to How to take off and blow up stuff. I found it extremely handy to pause, read, unpause and operate the various systems. I have found that on a few occasions I have missed the voiceover instructions as the mission progresses onwards, or would like to be able to repeat an exercise during the same mission, but have nothing to refer to. Marcos, glad you're starting to get to grips with things. What version are you flying? I found BS2 far superior than 1.02, and the graphic improvements, along with a better FPS (on my system anyway) also aid in not 'chasing the stick'.

Hi BigFootMSR. Many thanks for your work - much appreciated. Between your tutorials (and PeterPs integration) and 'How to take off and blow up stuff' (http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2626185/) my 'wazzing and zooming':pilotfly: is coming on in leaps and bounds - more bounds than leaps though when I hit the hard stuff!!! Quick question #1: Do your tutorials work in standalone BS2, as intimated by PeterPs install folder text file? I have tried, but cannot get any text/instructions and voiceovers to work? Quick question #2: MSR = Mars Sample Return???

Hi Guys, Just re-installed Black Shark after a computer rebuild. Having followed the patches as they were released, I am now back to square one.:doh: Question, can I patch up to 1.02 from 1.00 or do I need to install the incremental patches as well? Apologies if this has been asked before. Cheers Leg2ion
