Arr! Talking about landing on things...

It's not an issue. It is a non-existing feature. There is a need for this feature. The following mod is an example but no longer works. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=102188. You can try this alternative: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=119005 I think some people also use web-based logbooks from their virtual squadron/wing, like I do.

2-3 km is good for supression. If I really want to destroy something I fire at 1 km and usually without auto-tracking (tip: declutter your HUD). Come in high to increase accuracy. This way S-8 rockets become really effective, even against armoured vehicles. However, if threats do not allow such a close and steep-dive attack I usually fire rockets in bursts from 2-3km with auto-tracking. Results are indeed somewhat dissapointing but not unrealistic. Splash damage on the S-13's is a bit too high in my opinion.

Thank you!

Create a Datalink, select it and select DL Ingress. Next time you uncage your skhval it will slew to the designated target. Check the manual for information on the datalink system.

Nobody noticed the 'analog combat simulator' and the DCS logo upside down in the forum banner?

The ACS A-90. Nice

Personal preference. I don't use it even though I like the rudder to be unchained in the Huey. I don't have ffb on my pedals but I'm quite used to centering my controls the moment I release the trim. Never had the shark kicking around.

If you want JTAC like in the A10, see my sig. Furthermore I use Diveplane's sounds, English cues (see sig of Devrim above), dirty windows, single trigger (because I don't have a fancy HOTAS).

If engaging a Ka-50. Only use your laser when you actually decide to shoot. If I attack you and you receive the warning there will be two Vikhrs already on the way. (The LWR is able to distinguish Vikhr guidance mode by the small 'fan' icon) Scan the horizon by zooming in and looking around Use forward hemisphere mode for anything faster than an A10 (provided that he's coming straight in). Fire two Vikhrs in one go In close combat quickly gain an altitude advantage. Good chance that your opponent will pitch up to line up for a shot but flies backwards and ultimately weathervanes away from you. Then dive on him.

It worked for me in version 1.234. I turned off all radios and I could still hear everyone while they could only hear me if I was transmitting on their frequency. Inbound radio traffic is the only problem. Maybe this has something to do with it: When I joined the server (paused) as a spectator I got this standard radio panel. When I joined a Ka-50 slot it was still there. As the mission was unpaused the radio panel changed from default to the Ka-50 version (R800 + R828 ). Another thing: The hide/unhide function is not working for me, no matter the key combo I use. I really do appreciate your work though. Looking forward to version 2!

I've correctly installed V1.9. I was flying the Ka-50 and I could hear everyone on every frequency. I was, however, not transmitting on all freqs but only on the one I had selected. Any idea? Or known and to be fixed in V2?

The PVI-800 is limited to DMS. ABRIS can be set to MinDec, which is usefull for transmitting target coordinates to A10's using the MAP/INFO or MAP/ERBL function.

Su-22 over the Mig-23 for me. I like air to ground + it makes an amazing sound. DCS Su-25(A) would be even better.

You have to use the 'Prepare Mission' function and draw the lines in the ABRIS. Read the manual to find out how to draw lines on the ABRIS.

Slightly dissapointed in the total absence of the Ka-50... Maybe exercise/mission 3?

I will try to join. Ka-50 red/blue, A10C blue or F15C blue.

Introduced together with the UH-1H Huey.

Use SPU-9 PTT (Ralt + \) (or Lalt? I've mapped the PTT button to the normal '\') JTAC mod is multiplayer compatible by default. Those who do not have it installed won't hear all your comms because of missing scripts and sound files. I've picked very common frequencies (31, 32, 40, 41 etc) and all AM freqs also work. Didn't come across many online missions where I couldn't steal A10 targets :). BTW please post in the mod thread if you have questions.

I hope so. It would make me sad if the initiator leaves the team :(

Ah! That is a good point! RAIM predictions are indeed working, but it claims that no calculations can be made (ICAO Not Found in DB) for any other aerodrome than your starting aerodrome/FARP. ED please fix!

Hi, I'm unable to make RAIM predictions (MENU/GNSS/CALC). Can anyone confirm this? It looks like a bug. Destination aerodrome coordinates are not found and thus, the assessment cannot be made. I've tried multiple airports in Georgia and Russia. No luck. It does work for initial point RAIM predictions. Edit: Not really expecting an answer on this one as I can safely assume that most of the Ka-50 pilots never use this ABRIS function. However, trying out these things make you realize how detailed this sim is. I just hope that ED takes note and quickly fixes this (minor?) issue. (And takes a look at the BS2 bug thread) But it's probably hopeless :(

My Russian ´associate´ got it working I think. I got it working too, but without proper callsigns and voice support I don´t consider it ready for release.

It works. Welcome to the forums Thymo!

This is no longer about blade stall, it's about cruise performance and the wrong torque/speed relation. Of course I tested in no wind conditions. Please read post #4 and onwards more carefull.
