I made a small mission today and while I watched it unfold to see if everthink works out I looked a while at a AH-64A and ... was puzzled :D He took 4 hits from a BMP-3's ATGM midships and did nothing else but hanging there in the air and shooting at something with its chaingun completely ignoring the fact that he's under fire. Some decorative parts fell off and the pit had some broken glass but... 4 ATGM direct hits vs 1 Helo = Helo still flying? C'mon.... After the fifth hit - again direct hit - the right engine catched fire and he broke off the attack and flew home. Should that be taken as.... "normal" ... or is there something wrong with the AI (Under fire? Who cares....) and the damage model? Think a chopper should go down in one or two hits...?

At the moment in a special offer at "Good old Games" http://www.gog.com if anyone is interested. Direct Link to them: GOG Special

Mission attached. I have a acmi file from tacview of the mission right until the second it crashed - helpful? MG.miz

Same here C++ exeption and booted out of the game - right the second as I ordered my wingman a command (Attack Air Defenses) - was not the first command in that flight but the first time against air defenses. Both in a KA-50 running a missiongenerator created mission with some added units. Booted out of the game and no track or debriefing. in saved games\DCS\logs is NO CRASHLOG from that crash! Only older logs... Content of directory: Windows Application Log has following two entrys: Anything we can do to help locate the problem?

English Cockpit!

GCI?

Hey Guys, I want to train my Air-to-Air skills a bit and I'm curios. What do you think is the most dangerous AI enemy to the F15 in - Long Range / BVR - Short Range (Short range IR/semiactive missile fight) - Guns Only Anyone interested in dogfighting in the next days at around 10 pm CET? Never fought agains a real human so be easy on me pros :music_whistling::joystick:

Full Ack! Nothing to be added from my side.

I think about putting two secondary Monitors on my rig. Mainly for flying but also as secondary displays for Lightroom and such stuff. Since some of you have really nice homepits (to bad I don't have room for one) I like to ask for recommendations for good, cheap USB monitors around 7" to 10". - Touch functionality not necessary but not bad either. - Should work flawlessly with DCS Any suggestions witch one to pick from the big big pool of USB-Screens out there?

Gosh. Thanks for this thread. I was so exausted by that flight that I don't really listened to him at the end. Did it three times and always landed on the airport and got no mission success ;) Thought wtf.... and then searched the forum.

Downloaded - 1st time file was broken, second time it worked. Dunno why. Seeding now.

Hey that was fast! Thanks alot!

Hey folks, hope the question fits here since I don't really saw a forum thats better suited. If there is such... please move the thread. I searched but found nothing that matches the following question: Is it possible to move the whole DCS-World directory to another path/drive safely or do I have to do a completely new setup? Want to move it from normal HDD to faster one. If new setup: deactivate and activate or not since it's the same system?

I would say keep it but make it less obstrusive somwhere in the upper corners and way smaller.

YEP - got it also but I really hope this bird gets more controllable. I flew lots of chopper sims but never had so much problems controlling a bird. But hey it's BETA - so I expect it to get better :joystick:

To bad but thanks for the answer. Would really love such a scenario...

Yea would be nice to have it. After reading the +1 for reuploads I searched it for half an hour on that page 'couse I thought I'm to blind to see it :music_whistling:

Hello pilots and mission makers, I played around with the mission builder for a while now and ask me (and you): Has anyone managed to create some kind of "persistand world" for DCS:World (Black Shark)? With "persistand" I mean some kind of endless campaign from a specific base (Sotchi Adler for example) where ressource management is importand (can I spare 12 more vikhr or keep them until next convoy arrives with supplies?) Like a convoy with ammunition / NPC pilots (wingman/flying missions themselves/...) comes every X missions and inbetween you have to defend FARPs / Base & attack different targets / locations etc. Allied units arrive also every X missions and roll against the enemy. Any idea if it's possible? Since location / status / waypoints / task of every unit has to be transferred between missions, stockpile on the airport / FARP also. Lots of scripting I think.

Thanks all for the answers and for the details provided in the last post here. Hovering after a hard turn & stop isn't that uncommon :)

I made some tests today to get around the smoke problem that eats up my framerate from time to time and blowed up some trucks for testing settings. To save time I made high g turns to get faster back to the smoke :joystick: The last turn ripped of the rotor blades - but a turn before that happened - the skhval cam failed / went grey / switched off - the countermeasures system switched off - the Ap lights went off - and a "watch ekran" warning sounded (display showed that the system runs on battery). - all other systems worked fine In the tracklog was no failure entry and a second later everything worked fine again. It's not importand but any idea what happend? Loaded weapons where 4x unguided rockets and the gun. Patch 1.2.3 Images and track: klick here

Would not call it a "stick" - its the small thumb thingie in the G13 that has managed to get the fist position - its even on the screenie but I was too distracted from these class-ids to notice the 13 behind the "G" :doh: Good Flight @all

Solved! Ah.... I'm stupid ;) Nevermind it works now :music_whistling:

Path in the profiler is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\x86\stable\simulator.exe No. Still no response from the throttle in the options menu. And still ingame response only as "second joystick". Funny part: Even if I delete all mappings for the throttle in sim, arcade and freecam mode it still acts as a second joystick. Is there some way to force BS to forget about the controllers and force a redetect of the hardware around? Tried to delete all *.lua-files with G940 in the name but that only set the controls mappings to default. Did a clean [1] reinstall of BS with actual patch this night, but still the same problem. :cry: [1]: deactivate, deinstall, delete folders, search and clean registry, reinstall, reactivate

Hello @all, I have a weird problem with Black Shark (1.02 Patch, launched from start menu) and my G940 Set (latest Software + Firmware upgrade). In the setupscreen for the controls in BS I see three columns for the three parts of the G940 (but with weird names, see screenie). There are no problems with the stick or the pedals, the're working as expected. But if I try to map anything to the throttle (axis or button controls) it dont reacts to anything done on the throttle exept the two throttles control pitch and yaw of the chopper - as the stick does too - regardless of whats set in the options. Additional if you doubleclick a axis slot and then move the axis you want to assign on the stick the window will show what axis you moved - that works on pedal and stick - but not on the throttle. To me it seems like BS dont knows that there is a throttle at all and thinks the axis movements are stick movements. What have I done so far: I searched and read every topic I found in this forum with the keyword "G940" I reinstalled the G940 software and drivers I tried running BS as admin I cleared out any mappings and started all over I made shure the game mode is correct (Sim, Arcade) I tested the G940 in other games (Lockon) and the throttle works fine, in the windows control paneel it works too. But no success... System: Win7 Ultimate 64bit German i7 960@3,2ghz ATI 5870, 1GB, @930mhz/1300mhz 12GB Ram @1600mhz Any ideas? Sincerly
