Thank you for providing the link to downloading the updater. Mine got corrupted due to a power failiure during use. DCW World is ok, and runs, but the updater is toast. I did not want to have to download 10gb again just for a small updater. Thank you once again for bailing me out of trouble. Ivan.

But don't you have to range the target first so that the shkval knows how long to direct to target for?

HOTAS extensions. I could never refuel inflight till I bought a 100mm extension for the HOTAS. It makes delicate flying possible and allows the suble control needed for inflight refuelling. I bought mine off this forum (from Wasy100) and can really recommend it for quality and workmanship (he even supplies the extension cable needed!). Just search for HOTAS extension and it should come to the top of the list. I chose the 100mm and think it was the best option. The stick still centres itself, but only just. I think that the 120mm is for dedicated helo jocks who really need the supreme control. Hope this helps. Ivan.

Please Santa..... I really want an accurate (ie: A10C level sim) of a Harrier Jump Jet. It is so unique that it deserves to be "simmed" just for that reason alone. I know it will never win a speed battle, or a carrying capacity battle, or a shoot off, or a......... But I still want it.

Does anyone know how to edit this game so that the laser overheating issue is eliminated? I know it takes a bit of the realism away (and that it is a real world issue) but is this modification possible? I would suppose that the core program keeps a count on laser useage and calculates the time to laser failiure, so wouldn't it be possible to either increase the starting value of the laser (giving it a longer life span) or "stop the clock" on the usage? I do hope that someone can help as I am fed up with having to slam my shark into the floor to get the ground crew to repair it. Thanks to anyone who can help. Иван.

You have excelled my expectations. Thank you so much. I can now contol the Ka50 from take off (instead of having to "feel" which button were on).

100 mm extension The 100mm extension makes the A10C a joy to fly and is a "nice" accessory to have. But for the KA50 is is absolutely essential and indispensable. I can now fly the KA50 without my blood pressure exploding everytime I comtemplate landing (or without the extension = crashing). Anyone thinking of buying one of these extensions, have no doubt, they are worth every penny if you take your flying seriously. Thank you Adam for making the HOTAS the perfect stick it should have been from out of the box (considering how much it costs). Ivan.

That is brilliant, but... I'm not as smart as you are so could I ask a favour? Would you upload your editted "Ka-50 buttons_ENG.dds" file so that I can simply insert it into the folder? Thank you in advace as this is just what I need.

I guess you can guess what my problem is from the title. When I use the auto pilot buttons they change from one shade of blue to a slightly different shade of blue and I cannot tell when they are on, or not, until I am dancing all over the sky. My question is: Can I edit a file somewhere so that the buttons have two totally different colours in their relative states (say blue and red)? I hope someone can help me. By the way I have BS2 English download version. Thank you. Ivan.
