  1. Did I saw a Mark point with a cake on it on the TGP screen at 0:30 or I'm I imagining it? Does the Litening pod do that?
  2. For map press R-Shift+K to bring on the charts. R-Ctrl+K to view your position. ] and [ to change pages. That's all I know so far. Learning myself too. You can see from the charts the radio frequencies, ILS freq, ADF, VOR and TACANs. But it's a bit limited right now.. unless there's some tricks I didn't find yet. You know I've been flying in this theater since roughly 2007-08 (after they scrapped Crimea) so I just look around and know my position quite easily now :P
  3. The graphics card doesn't look so powerful to run on 2 screens. I recommend to invest on a faster GPU and a bit cheaper HOTAS like the X-52pro to balance your budget.
  4. I'm happy with my 580 so far. Maybe next year... hey, I can buy the 8th series by then :lol:
  5. Those are some sweet graphics. For a moment there I got confused and started rubbing my eyes.
  6. We had the same issue in Cyprus back in 99' when we bought the S-300 from Russia. Let's just say some neighbors in the North (look at map above) didn't take these news very well and after repeated threats about bombing internationals ports and power stations we had to move them in Crete. But for Syria to get this tech.. man it's not good news. Israel should be pissed by now. No way they'll let that happen.
  7. Fly with no wind and practice your takeoffs. Let the engine to warm up nicely but be aware of your gauges not to burn it, don't trim the elevator, only trim the rudder about 5 degrees to the right. On takeoff - When you increase the throttle do it gently (very gently). The aircraft can lift off very easy (it's a fairly light aircraft with a very powerful engine) and the runway is long so you have plenty of runway to compensate and control the takeoff. As others said, let the tail to rise by it's own and then after a few seconds gently again raise the nose just a bit, the plane will fly off the ground easily. The trick is to increase throttle very gently at takeoff.
  8. Numbers on the poll show it all. A whooping 96% for High fidelity sims. But numbers on the income sheet could be showing a different result???
  9. Belsimtek and ED shouldn't listen to our complaints then and do what they do best. No other way to put it ;)
  10. I think when Mogster said "very sedate maneuvers" meant that he's flying very slowly and very conservative. That's exactly the opposite from a Johny Joystick hop-in-and-do-some-pilot-tricks game that you refer to.
  11. I updated to the latest version. I've noticed some stability especially with yaw, generally not a lot though. My skills have definitely improved (coupled with the adjustments I did on my HOTAS for better handling and better precision in flight) but at the end of the day it's still the same when I try to land it. If I show some slack... I'll crash. The only thing that bothers me really is entering translational lift (I think that's how it's called) again when I slow down to hover before touching down. I don't know if that's suppose to happen, I don't get into VRS so easily now because I learned how to compensate with collective power and watching my descent rate not to exceed 500 fpm. Then the aircraft starts to shake violently and things become hairy if you don't compensate. Then the hardest part is to balance it without oscillating in any direction too much before slowly putting it down. I watched so many videos (and movies) with Huey pilots landing with extreme precision and they make it look so damn easy it's unbelievable to me that this module it's anywhere near completion I think. We'll definitely see more improvements with the upcoming patches in stability. Edit: If I'm mistaken, please correct me.
  12. No sounds bug for me too after the update. Sounds like it's fixed.
  13. I don't think it's possible. But I got to learn to fly in metric system first so I kinda got used to it and know the analogy by heart now.
  14. It's Eagle Dynamics Graphics Engine (EDGE) but who cares what's called really... it's the result that counts ;)
  15. As long as it doesn't BSOD again. I'll give it a test once I'm off work. I'm still with the 314.07, I had bsods and crashes with 314.22.
  16. A common issue for many of us. A high ping rate will only make the situation worse for everybody in the server so I stick with SP and try to learn by myself with docs and video tutorials.
  17. It could be possible. Hopefully they'll implement it. Now with the Huey there's a motive and a reason for ED to improve the infantry actions and implement boarding/deboarding animations on choppers and other aircraft.
  18. Καταπληκτικό! :thumbup: Also try some weathering/tear & wear effects. ;)
  19. :megalol::megalol::megalol::megalol::lol::lol:
  20. I'm no pilot, technician or chief of any kind... I'm just an Aviation enthusiast just like the rest of 99% in here :P So if anyone recorded the damn thing let us know please :helpsmilie:
