My rig is : AMD 960T 4 GB DDR3 HD 7750 2 GB I doing good but don't know about the FPS but the game plays smooth. I also use Eyefinity @3200x900 no issues but I play at mid-sets in eyefinity and feel no difference. Of course all CCC settings are on default. BTW I am using Facetracknoir and perfectly configured and it does have it moments of being naughty. If you want I can give all my ini files and you could try and tweak it to your needs. Keep the camera facing up and and don't give too much of light on your face.

I like it when I hover her just by controlling :) its fun.

You mean that the KA-50 has a switch to auto-hover ?

Hey guys, I am user of FSX and XPX and finally landed on Black Shark , I thought of trying this out. First if anyone is not using Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround and can afford a second display then please get it, it is worth it. I am using two 20" Acer LED's. Of course my GPU is not strong enough hence i am using mid-settings in DCS but do not notice any difference. Second I am using Facetracknoir (and of course most of you may already be using TrackIR or freetrack or this ) and it is perfectly setup so if any of you guys need my facetracknoir setup ini then please let me know I shall post it. You still may need to tweak it. What I found when using Factracknoir is not to keep too much of light on the face, and keep the camera facing up.

k. thnx man.

you sure ?

Hmmm, well there are four speeds CAS / IAS / TAS / GS I forgot about the speeds don't remember them well. I just had ground training long back but never completed the flight training. e.g. if you are flying @270 kts, and there is a head wind of 20kts then it is your ground speed which will be 250 kts. and similar with the tail wind. your taxing speed is also your ground speed. I think you are talking about WCA in the second line I guess. which is a bit different , WCA is used when the wind is coming from different angles. and there again is a calculation to adjust the nose position.

K. There are two ground speeds once when you have head wind and the other is on the ground taxiing.

I think the alram went off at around 260 kts @ 350 AGL. I don't have trouble gaining or loosing altitude or maintaing a levelled flight.

BTW guys I am flying her like a sports car :) she is a pure beauty. As you fellows said the trick is the TRIM due to the Co-axial rotors. Thnx to all. She responds sweetly but only if you be gentle with her just like a woman :). Just wish if there was KA 50 for X plane 10 as I could have roamed all over the world. I made a good landing. flew her properly levelled and level turns. I can fly her pretty low, Did hover her without the hover key. I still feel the collective is a bit off. Currently Trying to check the speeds according to the altitude as she starts a warning at around 250-260 kts hmm but don't remember what was the altitude. so I have to lower the speeds.

Ah ok. BTW what add ons should be installed ? I feel the terrain looks very barren. Are there any maps like Afghanistan ? apologize to put this up here , but if you guys suggest me to put it up in the scenery section then i will. I have a second logitech attack 3 maybe I could mod that in to a collective.

About the hovering, what I meant was in a reali heli is that with a switch or is manually controlled hovering ?

Ok. I will try it as a continuous input during attitude /altitude changes. BTW i was just wondering do any helis have a hover switch ? I mean like in the KA 50 there is a key assigned to it. Is hovering not a controlled thing ? Hmm one thing just came in to my mind is there collective "+" on the numpad. Shouldn't the collective make smaller changes as after a couple key presses she rises too high. LOL i know the documentation should be read properly. Thnx.

I have mapped my joystick button to the Trim but i do not think it is trimming well. If i have to keep trimming her during flight then what will happen during attack runs or dogfights , i would not trim at that moment. Of course the speed will drop on altitude gain. I shut off the AP thing and i fly her better.

Wow guys i did not expect so many replies. Yeah it is difficult to transition from a fixed wing to a rotor i guess. Let me jump deep in to the manual.

Yep .

Hey, Is it necessary to keep AP ON ? I don't auto pilot , imo AP is needed only when you have heading /alt / air speed and everything set and let her fly. But this being a chopper I definitely would not know if it is needed. I guess you are talking Pilot Induced Oscillation ?

Yep I have them all ON. Though i would not know much about helis, but I feel it could not be the trim reason being if I trim the C172 on climb / speed she will maintain that and climb perfectly (of course not comparing a fixed wing to a heli) , the shark is going all over the place and it is not just the nose up / down problem it is on all axis. BTW i am using the Logitech Attack 3. RCTRL + ENTER shows the correct caliberation of the stick.

Hi, I am from India and have some real ground training in flights but never flown, as i had to cut the training short due financial issues, So i use FSX / XPX for training. I just started using DCS Black Shark, i really like the bird she is just cool. My problem is that the bird does not remain stable at all in flight. my joystick input is stable , the moment i leave the stick she tends to get her nose up / pitch up and also keeps bouncing around. Her attitude is not stable. Do i have to trim her ? I have never flown a heli except in FSX but that was only for a couple flights. I train on the C172 though. Any help appreciated.
