Well that blows! I finished this mission after 20 tries at least - shot down a HIND and all... I was planning to watch it again and again in slow motion and now this - seriously?? And to add insult to injury - it considers the mission incomplete even though i saw the complete message.

So I finally complete a mission and I save the track file. When I play it - the start looks correct and then about 2 minutes in the heli crashes into a hillside - that never happened in the mission. Any ideas what could cause this.

+1 for stock sounds. Just play the files side by side - i think all but 1 file sounds better in the stock files.

I assumed that unguided bombs were dumb delivery where one would have to take the altitude/speed/wind into consideration. But I did some experiments and I was proven wrong. I flew fast at 1500 meters and also slow at 300 meters - in both cases I pressed the trigger with the target in the schval - basically distance is zero. In both cases the delivery was spot on. So looks like the gunsight is adjusted at least for the altitude and ground speed - not sure about wind. but I guess I could do that tomorrow.

I watched some youtube videos and can get them to deploy. I'm trying to get the timing right - I would think it's dependent on a few variables - not least of which is ones speed, altitude, wind etc. Leaving out the wind - has someone worked out a rough formula on when to deploy based on speed and altitude.

If you get repairs and refuel/weapons during campaign missions - are they automatic mission failure. I don't seem to get failed or success message - keeps on going. Sometimes in refueling - i get a snarky comment from ground like "hey what are you doing".

I'm using the Helios KA50 and working great! Is it possible to disable the main cockpit abris + shkval - since I have them on the 2nd screen.

Where is the UV26 supposed to appear? disregard found. Is there a way to disable the main screen shkval and abris screens - i'd like to increase the fps. Thanks.

I'd like to set up a second screen for some KA50 screens buttons etc. What's recommended - gadroc or something else. Or wait till 1.5 comes out.

Starting the campaign - Instead of sequential, it seems to rotate 3 missions initially - even though you're not done with the first one. Any way around it. I'd like to concentrate on 1 mission at a time. That's hard enough - w/o tracking strategies for 3.

Is a sympthom of this crash - you try to use the joystick and it's not responsive and then the heli crashes? If so, most probably what's happening is that you're engaging the trimmer and NOT releasing the joystick to auto-center.

Without sounding paranoid - why do you ask? Just kidding - anytime - i'm free some days during the day-time and of course evenings - but not too late.

I'm pretty sure I don't. I did install something but I replaced the original and saved the mod files in a sub-folder. problem? I'm in US east.

Anyone know why I get 'Connection interrupted' always on the 104th server.

I visited the multiplayer option - and was quite disappointed. Of all the public missions, I got 'Connection interrupted' quite often. The rest mostly had 1 player or not suitable for KA50. That part of the program could be greatly improved - if there was a way to filter it by region, language and maybe mission types (e.g. air-to-air etc). Generally, how do peeps find out about missions that emphasize the KA50 and also how do you set a start time for the mission.

Just installed crashes when I start it up after the splash screen. Windows 7 64 and have the 4.5.2 library.

When playing missions - waypoints are in there to your target. but when the next point is the ingress point - then the PVI stops there. The navigvation commands a holding pattern. Any way to sequence to the ingress point. I found the target point is usually T1 - but you have to do that manually. Thanks.

Thx. Any solution/work-around to receiving good datalink target data.

I'd like to venture into multi-player. I went to the dcs server and couldn't really find in BS missions. Any other place - recommendations.

As is the datalink target info you receive from wingmen are useless because the target is nowhere near where the shkval uncages and you can't find them because of foliage or terrain. I also assume data I send is useless because all I get is 'unable'. Any fix to this??? Also I use 'engage my target' feature to tell wingman. Is there a time limit beefore I can move the reticle. Also - can I give it multiple targets (sequence it - before he's gotten the first one). It seems like if you give it 2 before he gets the first one - he forgets the first one and moves on to the second one. Thanks.

It's all about using resources and given this is a fixed scenario, flat terrain with no one shooting back. I believe there's about 10 targets + the convoy. You tell your wingman to take out ground targets - he'll take out about half. Then using vickers take out about 5 - 20-25 second each is 2 minutes. Then use rockets and gun run on the convoy - 1+ minutes. Then look around for any target that the wingman missed. 3 minutes agressive - definitely less than 6. I think it's about being able to use resources (i.e. wingman) and all your weapons proficiently and efficiently. In a real mission - things are shooting back - and one doesn't have all day to take out a target nor the luxury of non ending supply of vickers. Actually, the best I've done is 4 minutes...but not showing off...i'm just starting out and a newbie - and can do it only because i've mapped out all the target positions and have set a goal to get them all in 3 minutes or less - with making every shot count. My point to the OP was, before joining online missions, one should try to get as proficient as possible in offline mode first. That's all.

Yes - sim-mode as previously suggested. Get good hard-ware. Also get competent with the firing range training mission. It'll teach you to use your resources efficiently - i.e. wingman and weapons. You should be able to get all the targets within 3 minutes - using missile, rocket and guns. I also suggest, before going online, do a complete campaign...that's what I'm doing. You don't want to be a liability from the get go.

This mission - you fly with a wingman about 160 km and then into a valley. I've tried it 10x w/ no success. Any tips?

I seem to be having some luck with this fix...no idea why it works. But I wasn't able to find how to save the campaign mission. How do I do that? I know I can copy and paste the mission into a separate folder...but I don't think I'll get the mission credit and progression. Is there a fix that can be done at a more global level?

do you have FD disabled?
