No - i don't. Still hoping for a solution to my problem. Even though I cannot communicate with others, I played around with the commands and came up with 2 other questions. 1. Is there an CAGE SHKVAL command - is that the same as weapon reset (BACKSPACE) - if not what's the default key binding for it. 2. If I have a datalink point saved on the ABRIS - is there a way to get SHKVAL to lock on to them. I was able to select them - i.e. flash on the ABRIS by pressing the target type on the datalink panel.

found it - thanks both.

WHere can I download this.

I tried 124.0, 127.0 and 127.5 No joy. Also the selector on the right for the (next to 1,2,3,4) Should it be on WING or COM. The tutorial says COM but I saw a youtube video that says WING.

I should be finishing up the training missions and feel relatively comfortable. Like to get some recommendation for 2-3 missions (built-in) - in difficulty order. Nothing that'll blow me out of the air right away - with a reasonable chance of making back alive.

Trying out this mission and at the beginning it says to communicate with other members - nothing happens. I've enabled all required switches - freq is 124.0

I think this is a license issue. I had this same problem when I installed black shark w/o inputting a serial#. After serial# - worked fine. Do you get a prompt for a serial# when you start up the mission?

Never knew analog/digital - what are the key codes for the digital Skew commands. Even though I did my profile from the ground up - surprised how many are the same. Great minds...right? I see you have Abris buttons on a modifier - but how do you assign 5 buttons on that single-click button.

I've got Shkval skew assigned to the hotas control (behind the throttle SC). It's way too sensitive. What can I do...I assume I have to play around with the fine tuning. What values are suggested.

Yes I have all 4 channels enabled in FD mode and flying a flight-plan (PVI) with a dog-leg. When I get close to the middle waypoint - the heading bug at the top swings to the new heading but the bank indicator remains at 0. It's interesting that even with heading channel enabled - the heading bug swings...but not the bank indicator. A traditional flight director would always indicate the correct bank/pitch/heading to follow the current flight-plan.

Followup... If you have trackir - assign the z-axis to ZOOM feature. That solved all my problems (at least in DCS). Now when I move closer the hud, abris and pvi - are all clear.

Installed this mod and do not see much of a difference than stock - what am I doing wrong. I think I've got it installed right because the auto-pilot channel labels are different - single letters. The overhead label fonts are different. Also the PVI-800 has a reverse color - gray background...but after some time reverts to the standard black background.

Thanks - and understood. I guess for small altitude changes - the first one is good and the 3rd one for large changes. I'm still a little bit confused by the FD mode. e.g. I created a flight plan with a 90 degree turn...when I got there - the desired heading diamond bug moved (understood) but the bank indicator stayed the same - level. Is this because I've the bank channel enabled?

I'm sure everyone will be glad to know, that I'm making some progress in FD mode. I had a problem where when I pressed the trimmer - it wasn't resetting the heading. I then found out that I had to disable the WPT mode on the 800 whatchammacallit. Makes sense. Now I'm finding that when I press the trimmer, it doesn't reset the new altitude. Is the "remembered" altitude - when you press the "A" button. I would have thought if altitude-hold is enabled and I pressed the trimmer - it would now give guidance for the new altitude.

Ok I think I was thinking that... I need to align the aircraft icon (datum) with the 2 altitude/attitude bars - both pitch (pitch axis) and bank (roll axis) So the diagram below indicates i'm flying correctly right? = -----\/------ = Whereas below means I need to pitch up. = = -----\/------

Yes I read that. But what am I looking for - the pitch indicator. The only thing I can think of is drawing a virtual line between the 2 parallel altitude indicators and if the 0 pitch dot is above it - i need to pitch down and vice versa.

I'm using trackir - when I move in closer to the hud... the hud gets bigger but the display itself stays the same. Anyway to make the hud display bigger when moving in. Thanks.

I'm playing around with flight director mode. I read the manual - there are some visual examples - it says the indicators are commanding pitch up and down. I don't see what to look for the pitch command. I see the bank and altitude commands - but not pitch. Or is that inferred from the speed gain/loss.

Any help on this??? Cannot steer the gun for the rear gunners.

Thank you guys...i did read the manual but the "section" on AP/FD was very brief and not verify clear. Pressing the button turns FD on and AP off - the button label says AP/FD - that's not clear at all. Anyway thanks - i will soldier on...

Here's the exact solution I was looking for. http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Snap_views Let's you re-define the snapviews. Most importantly - there's a way to toggle the snapview from momentary (keys have to be down and buttons cannot be pressed) to switch (new view stays there and buttons can be pressed). I defined a key on the hotas for the toggle function and defined the views and now I have all the important displays in up close and personal.

Thanks guys. Ideally, like in most modern aircraft, if in auto-pilot mode - i'd like to move heading bug on the HSI and the aircraft should move to the new heading automatically...but that's ok I can steer. If I press R - it's in auto-pilot mode right? But I see the FD/AP button on the right console doesn't come on - what does that do?

How can I set a view (inside a cockpit) - manipulate controls and then revert back to normal view. I thought about snapviews - but snapviews seem to be view only.

Thanks. I looked at the current key bindings - they seem to be different now. Same instructions apply?

How do I get the autopilot to follow in heading mode. btw, is there a manual for this heli - can't find it.
