I feared you would suggest waiting but at least what you think about FSX/EECH chimes with my own thoughts...I'll have a look at hovercontrol.com though. Thanks for the advice guys! Roll on the English manual I say! :)

For those of you who have had (or are having) the pleasure of flying the Shark, what would recommend in the way of practise while I wait for the demo? I have FSX and EECH but have found flying helicopters in the former not very fulfilling and am not sure how realistic the flight model is in the latter. Should I wait and stick with fixed wings for now, or will it pay off to transition early in one of the above sims? Your opinons please!

Point taken. Like I said apologies if I'm wrong. I guess it's not my place to make such accusations anyway. My bad.

Sorry but a couple of quick questions: How about we not go that that path - GG

Quick question: if your russian is better than your englsih why are you asking about this on the english forum? Surely you could get more informed answers there?

Ucze sie polskiego, ale mysle ze cytac nie bedzie bardzo latwo! :-)

Excellent! Thank you! :-)

Wags (or anyone who knows), quick question: does the real KA-50 have a flare dispenser button on the piolet's HOTAS or does he have to reach up to the Red button on the panel? Just wondering because if the real HOTAS doesn't have it I won't map it on mine! Infact, now that I'm asking, will the manual contain a discription of what functions the HOTAS controls on the KA-50 have mapped to them in real life? Regards,

Don't worry Feuerfalke I knew that! :) I was of course being unecessarily provocative. Armed assault is a great example of optimisations improving a game's engine - the last few patches boosted FPS performance dramatically! It's just a shame that maybe Bohemia didn't take as much time to finish off their product before launch as (it seems) ED are! I would guess, and any developers/beta testers please jump in at any point, that whatever performance you get in FC now would be a good barometer to what you'll get in BS. Btw has anyone actually promised optimisations in the games graphic engine? As I understand it, its the same engine but with more detail.

"the game isn't optimized yet" Haha! Whenever someone says "it isn't optimized yet" I have to laugh. This is NOT an early beta. Beach runs a GF9800GX2 (I think) - a very top end card - if your packing less expect your experience to be worse! Optimization will net what two or three frames a second at best? Want faster frame rates? Drop down the res or details. "Not yet optimized" is one of the biggest euphamisms in game developement ever! Rant over. Oh, and three days later and I still can't download Beach's video either!

Thanks a lot guys, looks like I'll be able to finish the campaign! Nice one!

Hi there, Had a look at old posts but can't find anyone else who had this problem: mission #8 (or #9? - the one after the night base relocation) of the FC campaign doesn't start - the bar gets half way across and then goes nay further. I tried declassifying the campaign but it seems you can't skip missions. Does anyone have a save of the completed FC campaign which I could use? Thanks for any help...

Thanks, will have a look. Looks like I'll be doing a reinstall though - a pain but not the end of the world. :p

Errrr...bump?

Whoops! Post amended with info!

After a few missions (about 8 of the campaign) with a clean install of 1.11 the su-25t appears in missions and the payload window textureless, (i.e. white) except for the weapons and the aircraft number which appear normally. Other player flyable aircraft's textures are normal. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can remidy this without a re-install? Galaxy 6800 GT w/81.94 Drivers, default clock speeds

Excellent, thank you. I shall have a look this evening. Any idea on the chaff/flares remaining?

Hi All, Need a little help: 1. Are there any chaff/flare counters in the SU-25T cockpit? I can't seem to find any. 2. How do you know if your ECM pods are activated? Does only the IR jammer have an indicator light? Thank you for your time and roll on v1.2!

Lol!

Landed a bit hard in the SU-25 (although I didn't realise at the time) so when I took off again the nose wheel wouldn't retract. So what did I do with this droopy piece of undercarrige? Skimmed a mountain top at low level to knock it off - but what happened instead? It got knocked up to a semi-retracted position! Cool or what? The wheel even continued to spin as I flew along! (No pics I'm afraid). :P I must say this demo has reignited my interest in Lock-on. The SU-25 flight model seems much more realistic (and thus fun) and the laser cool up/down business is cool. I threw away Lockon in disgust a few months ago, but it looks like I'll have to pick it up again just to try the SU-25T and in the hope that that one day all the aircraft in Lock-On will get the 'AFM'. I'm sure the AI still sucks, well I know it does, as in both demo missions my wingman insists of chasing helicopters right above SAM launchers and ignoring 'enage air defences' or 'rejoin' calls :roll: , but hey, look on the bright side right? Overall ED :supz:

Re: ED, Thank You Not only that, but the demo no longer crashes on me! Cheers! :D
