System should do fine. You will need to use the affinity tool.

Hi! We have folks on our teamspeak server every night who would be more than happy to provide some help. Check us out at: http://www.ka50.com

I just pm'd you my instant messenger info. You can also reach me at alphainfinity at ka50 dot com I will be out for the weekend starting at 4 p.m. mountain.

Awesome! If you want me to test it on the Ka50.com dedicated server, let me know. I will be more than happy to provide daily feedback/suggestions.

Hi all, I asked this in the MP forum and let it bake for a few weeks and I got no response so I am posting here with the hope that because this forum has more traffic, I will get an answer. Does anybody have a script that will automatically restart or rotate the map on a MP server? It would be nice for a number of reasons including the fact that nobody wants to fly at night and you can only get a maximum of about 12 hours of daylight on the map. SO, I am looking for a script that will rotate the map every couple of hours automatically or restart the current map automatically every hour.

I use the X52 and love it for all the sims. The programming can be a little steep in the profile editor, but overall it is a nice stick/throttle combo.

That depends. If you plan on using dual monitors(single player only) then XP might be the way to go because you can use the span feature and dual monitors works fine. I ran XP for a couple of days on my current rig and in my opinion, the game runs smoother and I get better fps when using the affinity batch script. I have read that Vista also is able to balance directX better across cores.

Ka50.com now has a dedicated Black Shark server online. We also have a teamspeak server that anybody can use to play on any Black Shark server. Details are on our site.

Adjust your engine idle speed. During the startup procedure you normally adjust the left and right engine two notches(yellow handles). For high altitude stuff I adjust both the left and right three notches(all the way to the stopper). Keep in mind that I do not use a long distance loadout(extra fuel tanks) as the weight from the fuel seems to inhibit climbing ability. This may not be the proper procedure, but this is what works for me on those missions that require high altitude climbing over mountains. I am also able to auto hover no problem at high altitude with those settings while other players have complained of over rev warnings. Also, be carefull and watch your blade pitch! A lot of people make the mistake of applying max power for the climb. You need to start your climb almost at farp and you want to maintain a decent airspeed. Proper planning helps to prevent a situation where you start your climb at the base of a mountain.

With the unguided rockets, I have found that changing the firing mode helps so that you unload 50% at once. I have a better chance of hitting targets that way. The downside is that you can only fire twice! :)

There was another thread that was going on stating that not using the onboard sound resulted in a 10fps increase on some mid-range machines. As stated in another post, Black shark is not really meant to handle multiple GPU's and in some games, SLI or multiple GPU's actually result in lower frame rates. I hope they improve the multimonitor support soon. Something else that you didn't mention is that you are most likely running in Window mode on the game instead of full screen mode which on most machines is a FPS hit.

Hi all, Trying to disable external views and I am not having any luck. I have tried checking the box next to permit external view(enforce) and gone through all the options of checking and unchecking boxes. Can somebody post a screenshot of what the mission options should look like if you want external views disabled? Thanks!

And how is that working for you online in multiplayer games? Most of us play online and most of us want to play in full screen mode. I had not checked the multi monitor thread in a week or so, but the two issues I mentioned above are deal breakers on the MM setup until they get that resolved.

Same here, I open and close the cockpit door to temporarily fix the problem.

Especially if you have custom MP maps. The clients download the maps from the server. Uploads on the DSL/Cable connections will spike every time a player connects.

Check out ka50.com as well. We have a teamspeak server that you can use no matter what BS server you are connected to. Details are in the forums.

*bump* Is there ANYBODY who knows how to do this? Thanks!

So VNC works? I tried mstsc(windows remote desktop/terminal server client) and the screen is black where the 3d app runs. In other words, as soon as black shark displays the screen where clients are in slots, it goes black.

Thank you very much for the documention! I guess my question is: Is damage caused to the engines by dust modeled in the game? I honestly have never used the dust protectors in-game and I have never lost an engine (that I know of) due to dust. I have lost an engine due to icing, but never dust.

The best solution to the problem is to get a dedicated server release done ASAP. Make sure to include the feature that allows a server administrator to give others administrative privs like kicking and banning. Even better, would be a trigger that would automatically kick somebody who had more than one teamkill. Nobody can be on 24/7, and the "reporting" method that is being used now takes time. Meanwhile, you have had 20 guys join the server and all of them have had their gaming experienced ruined for the day by one person.

I understand what the heys are. The problem is when you select the "simulation" drop down in the key assignments menu, you dont have the option to assign the hat switch because those search/landing lights fields only show up in the "game" portion of the menu on the key assignments screen.

Hi all, Ok, in "game" mode you can assign the landing light/spotlight function to the joystick and using one of the POV's. In "simulation" mode, we can't assign that function. Am I totally retarded and I can't find it or is something else going.

Do you guys need a US mirror for this?

ED, Is there a script available to rotate and/or restart a map if you are running the "server"? It would also be nice if there was a way to warn the players i.e. make an automated announcement that the map is rotating in 5 minutes.

Anybody know what was used in the videos? He seemed to have a pretty good balance of precision and smoothing.
