While in a hover, has anyone else reacted to an incoming missile by bottoming the collective, entering a vortex ring state and then, in the few moments before they hit the ground, found themself wondering why pulling pitch was having no effect? Haha! :D

And on a similar note: has anyone tried the different ejection methods?

Ha! The exact same thing happened to me! I was cruzin' home at the end of the first Russian campaign mission and passed over the Hind - my altitude suddenly jumped fromm 1500m to 78m! Amazing detail, excellent stuff!

Agreed.

Yes, they look that good! :D

Did you tick the 'Auto Set Affinity' box. Seems to have done the trick for me.

Here, here! :)

That did the trick - thank you! Phew!

I only saved a .lua file which I put into the Blackshark folder (the default location for 'save profile as'). It has been deleted. I don't know what other configuration files it added. :( What should I delete to start afresh?

What do you do with it? I can't tell from the threads I've found.

I'm having the exact same problem and am getting frustrated. I saved my mappings from the Russian version and they don't work. The game won't even pick up any of my x52's axis. Very irritating (and bizare - all worked well on the Russain version!) Just to be clear: I get no option to map any axis under 'Real' mode but I do under game. None of my joysticks inputs are recognized unde game either. Nada. What can I do?

Didn't know about GTATC SunDown, great idea, will do it my self soon! +1 :thumbsup:

...and at $50 its market value meets mine nicely! I can't wait to get home and get busy on some E-Commerce! :D

Doh! Shame on me! Thanks EvilBivol-1! :D

The only problem you will find with triggers is that un-activated objects are invisible until activated. E.g. you could not have a convoy waiting for you to destroy a tank before it began moving (at least not a convoy that you could see!). Not a big deal, but it would be nice to specify whether units were going to be visible or invisible before activation.

Update: after de-activating and reinstalling (and this not helping), I decided to try a system restore as some Windows updating had gone on yesterday and I thought that may have caused the problem...oh dear...Starforce re-activation has kicked in and blocked me. Some system info has been taken and sent to 1C...this is looking like it is going to be a right palava.:( Top tip: do not do a sytem restore without either a) deactivating BS or b) saving the registry key!

I've had over 16 hours trouble free flight (so that's like, what at least 24ish hours if you include playing around with the ME) and out of the blue I've started getting a Runtime error whenever I try to launch a mission or track - they don't generate error logs or anything?! I just did a reinstallation but still this hasn't helped. I have changed nothing on my system since Friday night when I played it last. Any suggestions?

Hey! Don't be sorry - this game is fantastic and more than I hoped it would be; by far EDs best release yet! I'm so glad you took the time to release the product you have. I was concerned about the trees, but I know you guys are working on it, and so I'm more than happy to enjoy what we have now until we get something new! :D

Excellent post - thank you! :thumbsup:

Nope! You'll have to wait for the English version for that! :)

Haha! No, I didn't switch back over and see if they were still mad...hell, I was hot footing it into the danger zone while they were going back to motor pool to sip Vodka and play cards! I say: "To hell with 'em!" if they wanted to keep bitchin'!:D Anyway, they never saw me again as a 125mm shell blew me into a million pieces 10 minutes after I left...:(

Agreed! The manual needs to explain why you do things to give the reader a greater understanding of what they're doing. This is the one area where the manual misses the target quite badly. Under pinning knowledge speeds and enhances learning! :)

The only problem is, even if you set a safe IP, once they go weapons free they'll still wonder forward - for some reason they seem unwilling to engage targets at maximum range.

I did a hot reful on Sunday and didn't switch the radio back to the tower channel or ask for permission to take off. As i began to pull pitch the ground crew started yelling at me "What the hell do you think you are doing!!!" Lol! Switching over to the tower and asking for take off permission shut them up. Nice little touch. :D
