Yeah, a TrackIR would help, but I can't afford one now. How about FreeTrack? Does it work with Black Shark? Cause I could put some 50 dollars into some cheap camera and LEDs.

Oh, shut down. That I did not do. :D But now I'm gonna have to fly it for the third time. Oh well, more visual awareness practice. As for the HOTAS, what do you mean by less time looking down? Looking down at what?

I did press the Mission Planner button, but I see no Payload button.

How do I choose my loadout for a mission? I searched the flight manual, the GUI manual, Google, this forum... Nothing found.

I don't see how having an HOTAS would help. My Thrustmaster t.16000m has a short slider which I use for controlling the Collective. As for controlling the view, I use the hat switch. It's not great, but it's OK, sort of. Anyway, for now, I'd like to know more about finishing this mission. I was able to follow the route eventually... Just need the finishing touch. :D

OK, I've managed to lose sight of the other pilot once again, but I just followed the map on the ABRIS and landed where I took off from, just like the other pilot. However, there wasn't any "Mission Successful" thingy or anything. The game is still running at the same spot, and I'd like to know what to do to finish the mission. Like I said in the original post, it's the first mission of the Deployment campaign.

So on the HUD, heading of 065 would be the middle of 06 and 07, right?

Hi, I've started playing the campaign today. I'm in the first mission of the Deployment campaign, and I lost visual on the friendly Mi-24 after 10 minutes of following it. 1. Is there a way to know where it is without visually seeing it? If yes, I would assume it's using the ABRIS - but how? 2. The talking guy mentions headings we should turn to - like heading 280, 065, etc... How do I see those heading on the HUD? What I see on the HUD is number like 26, 27, and such. I did read the HUD section of the manual, BTW, so please no "RTFM" comments.

Heh. :D

That's for FC2, Mustang. Not BS.

Boberro, where can I download Ricardo's cockpit mod from?

I will. BTW, I assume your DDR3 memory is 1066mhz, not 10666. :D

You know what's funny? I had that in mind right after posting the OP, when I saw the word "test" in the subject's title. *facepalm*

Hi, I have never touched the EEG GG TEST buttons before, but now I have turned them on and, immediately, the right and left engine overspeed warning lamps were illuminated, and the voice warning said "rotor torque", whatever that means. All that while I'm still on the ground, preparing for takeoff. The throttle of both engines is set to automatic. Reducing it one level "solves" the problem, but then there's not enough electricity generated and the navigation system (HUD, Shkval) goes off. I can has help? :helpsmilie:

Hi, Reading the DCS Black Shark flight manual, I have encountered numerous switches to which the manual's description is "No function". Does it mean that those buttons do nothing in the simulation, but only in real life? An example for such a switch would be the Tracer switch of the Targeting Display Control Panel.

Thanks for the intel (TF2 reference). :)

So I need to keep the VVI as close to zero as possible? At what rate of descent does the helo enter an uncontrollable vortex ring?

Yup, that's the VVI.

I always "escape" vortex rings by pitching forward. Usually I have enough altitude to do that, but knowing another method couldn't hurt, so thanks.

The term "vertical airspeed indicator" confuses me. Are we talking about the Vertical Velocity Indicator or Airspeed Indicator? Or is there another gauge called Vertical Airspeed Indicator?

Thanks guys, I'm a lot more successful at engaging hover now.

Well, using the mouse is much easier, but thanks. Thank you all, actually.

I actually shot armor piercing rounds as well, but it's good to know what to choose from now on. As for firing Vikhr, I successfully shot 3 tanks down with it. 'Twas awesome. :D

I'm actually playing without the ability to die, in order to practice shooting. BTW, I shot HE rounds with my cannon at the tank, about 100, and it won't "die". Weird...

But will it fire on the locked on target?
