I currently use a Saitek cyborg force. I should be getting a logitek Pro force this week... yeh!!!. My force FFB works, but there is not much to it. I can feel force when ever I trim. And there is plenty of center spring even with windows setting set to 0. but even with the max turbulance and awful weather I have never felt stick shake, or spring effect. The only dampining I have felt is trim. I realize that the Hokum is a fly by wire aircraft. but there should still be vibration from turbulane, and reverb from contact with the ground. In short is there any way to increase the FFB effects.

Awsome looks, thanks for the hard work.

do you do that whith mod man?

LOMAC and BS Have the best misson editors of any flight sim (in my opinion). But in BS it is very difficult to get ground and static objects in the right place. For example it is very difficult to place farp object in a farp without ending up in the middle of a helipad. This could be solved by adding a satillite view to the mission editor map, like LOMAC. Also, the paratrooper and soldiers are awsome and with triggers they open up alot of options. however they dont appear in the encyclopedia. furthermore, the soldiers are always kneeling, witch looks stupid when on the move. the paratroopers look good on the run, but most countries only have soldiers. It would be ideal if one could choose soldiers or paratrooers for any country. Other heliports such as a hospital, grassy landing zone, and possibly off shore platform would be very useful. I would like to help but I wouldnt begin to know how.

however, if someone would make a grass patch and put it under heliports, that would do the trick. I wish I knew how!

The only thing I can think to do for now is put a farp in. I realize there wont be a helipad in a true rescue or insertion, but it will allow AI helicopters to land. You could also try using a trigger zone that would require the aircraft to land in order for the soldiers to be activated. Dont know if it will work or not.

Can any LOMAC scenery or aircraft be used by DCS. I realize LOMAC would not support Black Shark, but it uses the same map with different areas detailed. Combine we would have the entire weastern half of the Black Sea to play with. Basically, what I am saying is I know files will not go from DCS to LOMAC, but to my ignorant brain it seams like most LOMAC files would be right at home with DCS. I however know next to nothing about it and I dont want to mess up my installe of DCS. :cry:

Looking good. So this will be a flyable aircraft without messing with the Ka-50, like the tomcat in LOMAC? wonder what we would have to do to get a working winch?

I would like a flyable Longbow... Is that what you are working on or just an AI model?

Make sure that you have current TrackIR 4 software, let it unistalle old apps. In control option delete all mouse axes( use for clickable cockpit any ways ). Make sure trackIr axes are tuned to usercurve option and adjust as desired.

Too cool... Hell I just wish my better half would play the game, but I dout she will improve my stats.

Awsome Awsome Awsome. Finally a good helo sim. I hope to see a UH 60 or an Mi-..., with a working winch, and sling, some accompaning scenery. Also a hospital with helipad, and or M.A.S.H. unit under heliports. Us rotoheads get off on the fact that you trade predictable stability, and speed for agility and versitility. Try hiding behind a tree in a Mig-29. but never before in a helo sim has that balence been properly meet. A good helo pilot can fly a good helicopter through an open hanger at about 5kts. not that any of the hangers in blackshark have let me but the proper dynamics are there, without sacrifising the risky stuff like blade stall, overtourqe, vortex ring, and etc.

The software was updated after title was added to list. So update even if title is present on game list. Been there done that!!!!

Well I look forward to heli add ons, because that is my true love. The only reason my Missis aint going to leave me over my simming is becaus it is cheaper than the real thing. Also LOMAC Flamming cliffs has brought us awsome jet aviation and combat for several years and it is high time Helos had the spot light for a while. I too have been simming for 10 years and preffer IL2 1946 for my prop drivin avation.

I want to start by saying yes,yes,yes, well done and thank you very much to DCS, Eagle Dynamics and any one else responsible for Black Shark. I have been waiting for a good Helicopter sim for a long time. It has finally come. Ok, now that my feelings are clear, I offer a little bit of critisism. A medium level avionics setting would be good. the easy setting is just to arcade for me. I will get used to advanced avionics so it cant be too... complex but being able to start on a medium avionics setting would be nice. I am thrilled with the real flight dynamics and physics so I have no Idea on the arcade flight setting. I have felt trim force feedback, but I have not felt any stick shake. Probably have not been in a nessacary situation yet. Hard to tell wether to swap feedback axes or not. Now if there is a rescue chopper added complete with winch, I will be thrilled. I now you all are saying there are other titles that can do that. I am familiar with some, but I like Eagle Dynamics scenery and editors much better. Bottom Line there is not a better Helo simmulator out there and I only look for this one to get better. Thanx, Vetic

solved :doh::doh::doh: Iused the user curve, and manualy set each axis mapping point manually, on all axes giving me trouble:joystick:.:yes:

:helpsmilie:After adjusting control axes they immediately revert to some akward configuration. Idont know what to do. Please help????:helpsmilie::helpsmilie:

I am an Idiot. A stranger must have typed my earlier thread. i have TrackIR 3. And I just needed to update software. I greatly appreciate the awsome feed back though! ride to live live to die die to fly

I can not get Tracker 2 work? Help please:helpsmilie:

I hope to see a wide variety helo and fixed wing add ons

I am down loading Blackshark now after a 2 year wait. I have been waiting for a top shelf chopper sim since I began simming with Commanche 4, and Coast Gaurd S.A.R. 10 years ago. I hope Blackshark is worth the wait. I am concerrned my 3.2 pentium 4, 1.5 gb ram, x1650 512mb video card, wont be up to the challenge. any thoughts?:music_whistling:

:thumbup:Lock on is the best fixed wing combat FS ever, With all the realy neat downloads I have recently got it only lacks 1 thing (for fixed wing) and that is a carrier catupult for the CVN 70.:pilotfly:

I use a projector which allows quite a bit of adjustment to preference. I put my tackIR 3 behind me and configure accorddingly. However, the expense took me several years of saving, it require alot of room and engeneering. you will also want to use a rear projection screen to get a good eye level

HEY YALL!!! Love the History channels "Dogfights". I was wondering if any one felt like kicking my A!! in a dogfight.

:pilotfly:Lock on is hands down the best moderen combat FS! However helicopter simmulation is my passion, and I have not been able to find black shark any where. I was hoping it would just be an add on for lock on. If it runs as smooth on the same system req. I will gladly by the whole game. but if it does not I might as well play FSX which flys helos great without ANY trees or power lines. P.S. I finally got high speed and I cant find any dog fights, Where are all you aces?
