Used to have this bad habit of forgetting the inverter switches on the startup..... So when I shut down the APU.... Kzt !! Everything goes dark. Had to train myself back to basics for a solid four hours before I kicked the habit. Forgetting the APU, is still switched on... Happens on the Ka-50 too.

It gets even worse when you try to reach for the ekran switch. I've known for a while that the pilot body option has been there for a long time. Just that for me it doesnt work when I use the ricardo cockpit mod. This is the first time I had the body work while having the cockpit mod. OT: is the kneeboard functional ? Can i put in my own images in there ?

Hi, I used to be a regular in your servers about two to three weeks back. Nowadays the server seems to boot me out after roughly 5 minutes. Is there a mod requirement that I don't have ? (i.e. Missiles mod ?) The only mods I'm running are the Ground Textures, Devrim's Ka-50 cockpit mod. Shkval and Dirty Windows mod and SweetFx. I've also set my connection settings in the options page to the recommended setting.

Slightly a little more awake now. More or less.... At work though.... Reread.... I think I get it now. Thanks man .

Add-able only via editor ? Bear with me on my annoying noobishness... I've done just about everything in the Ka-50 except the advanced ABRIS stuff. The early morning over here also isn't helping... Basically what I'd like to do is to practically doodle on my abris as if it's an overglorified kneeboard. Thanks for your help.

Are there any other special symbols... shapes that I can draw on the ABRIS ? I've seen a few single player missions (and even fewer multiplayer missions). Where there are other things on the abris... Such as border markers (according to the terrain). A box marker (search and rescue). Would be nice to be able to access that. Slightly off topic here: Can I use VAC for ATC's and FARPS instead of wingmen ?

I see... Well my wingmen are usually human players. I usually only play in multiplayer... So I want to have a way of marking boundaries for them not to stray over. VAC is a real neat tool. Great work on your profile. But I barely have an application for it at the moment.

Cool. this is indeed very useful. One question: The line that you generated; can it be sent to wingman via datalink ?

How about if I want to create markpoints ? Like I still want the original flight plan loaded. But I want to create mark points; which can also act as nav point (not the ABRIS 1) tank 2)SAM 3) other markpoint). I want to have a point where I can have that line and route to the target; while at the same time still have the original flight plan. (i.e. TMS right short on the TAD in the A-10C)

BTW here's mine. Irregular streamer as well. http://www.twitch.tv/arkroyale048/profile

Hi schnare. I seem to recall you visiting my DCS livestream as well. Will follow you on twitch. Hope to get to fly with you soon.

So what's the verdict on the FPS performance gain/loss ?

Questions: Will there be shortcuts to hide/unhide the exports ? Say I wanna use the CDU but do not want to look down and tilt my head to get a proper angle. Guessing a multiple monitor set up would benefit from this ? How about touch screens ? Export on a touch screen and press from there. Wonder if I can use these exports to feed into the A-10C iControl DCS app on the ipad ? Patiently waiting for one for the Ka-50 as well.

Any news ?

Absolutely loved the look.... Feels gives me that "aluminum" feeling. If I might suggest; a gritty "used" version. Scratches... smudges... etc. Similar to that A-10C cockpit mod and the Ka-50. This one "feels" brand new and it's good... but I kinda like the rugged version. *mumble One for the F-15C too please :P

Interesting... I'd have to pop by your server and have a look-see :D

Does the X-55 have a dual stage trigger ? That's my only turn off from the X-55.

If you have the Yellow Shkval mod... Then it's most likely that you know about the Test pattern.bmp in the mods folder. DCS World > Mods > aircraft > Ka-50 > Cockpit > Resources > Indication Textures You can change the Shkval's test pattern screen to anything you like. Too lazy to take a screenshot.... but I streamed by gameplay yesterday. Just skip over to 3:18. (Shameless plug in) :P http://www.twitch.tv/arkroyale048/c/5533427

Definitely interested.... < helicopter pilot.

I don't know about the rest of you; me ? I seem to enjoy the hunt more nowadays than blowing stuff up. I tend to join servers (or make missions) in which the threats (mostly SAM launchers) do not appear on the ABRIS (yep, no blue circles). The enemy threats also tend to not be in the way points themselves. Nowadays I enjoy doing recon work than blowing things up. There's a certain thrill of not knowing what's beyond a hill and making sure that you don't blunder into an unknown enemy position. By the end of the mission I'd usually have an ABRIS full of markers on enemy positions without firing a single shot. By the time I RTB to refuel... I usually get too lazy to go after it. So I relay them to any Shark or Hog drivers willing to go after them and then disconnect.

Another question: Now, I know the Shark that we have in DCS isn't really configured for night ops. But anyways; at night does it really mean that the Shkval is a 'manual' aim kind of thing ? Meaning I'd have to hover as stable as I can and point my Shkval at a target and hope it does not drift. On a side note: Does anyone have the link for that mod that turns back the Betty into Russian; while still using the english cockpit ? Been searching all night and I get erroneous results.

How about the relationship between the trimmer and flight director ? While in flight director mode.. I still can seem to 'trim' the aircraft into a behaviour that I like. (i.e. transitioning to hover, trimmed for forward movement, etc.)

Is this still the right thread ? Few questions popped up during my flights.... (Last time I was on this thread, I was barely flying the Shark, now I'm older and wiser :) Anyways. Is the auto pilot hold (that 4th button) in any way affected by the trimmer ? Say I have all four channels active; I hold the trimmer... Maneuver (and possibly change altitude)... release the trimmer. Does that mean that the autopilot now holds the latest altitude set after releasing the trimmer ? Or will it try to get back to the old altitude (as per limits of it's authority) ? Second question: What is the relationship between the altitude hold channel and the flight director ? My experience so far is that upon first switching on the altitude hold channel. It works just fine. But if I want to make a small correction/ maneuver by holding trim > maneuvering > releasing trim. It seems that the altitude hold doesn't really work as much. Work around is to switch off then on again the altitude hold channel.

Flight Lead here from TAW. Community is expanding. More funs to be had. So feel free to join in :)

I'm having a problem with the bands setting on the SST. The game no longer recognizes the bands set for slew controls (; , . /) via SST. Which is on the mouse nub on the X-52. Anyone else have these problems ? Am using the latest version of the SST.
