Based on your comments, I would say you're experiencing what real helicopter pilots experience in modern tactical aircraft. It's an augmentation system built into helicopters to make them actually overcome the inherent unstable aerodynamics imposed by a rotor system... unfortunately, there is no way around those dynamics. What FMC's (Flight Management Computers) do in the way of assisting the pilot is not necessarily taking those dynamics mentioned from the flight, but allowing the aviator who knowing these dynamics exist, to apply less energy in compensating for these problems. The disadvantage you have unfortunately is that you are not able to experience the physiological manifestations of the machine and how it reacts to the atmosphere... ie. seat of the pants. You just need more time with exposure to the system. Initial aviators, including myself when I was one, is to have tired legs, arms, and white knuckles trying to hover. Now I can do it with just one finger, and have been able to do so for a while now. The FMC, or FD as Black Shark has it, isn't really fighting you, but the environment. All the navigational components are providing imputs from the external enviromnet to the FMC, while your imputs are also being fed to the same computer. The aircraft discerns your imputs from the outside world, telling the helicopter if it is you making the helicopter move, or the outside worl, ie. in the form of a crosswind for example. To help the pilot relax, the aircraft attempts to compensate for these effects from the atmosphere, ultimately relieving the pilot from work load. It just takes practice. Again, I have to emphasize that you aren't able to "feel" the aircraft, so appropriately positioning the flight controls is being based off a two-dimensional picture you are viewing on your monitor. This will effect you tremendously in controlling or over controlling the airframe. It's just going to take practice dude. No way around it. However, fly the aircraft in a way that works for you. You aren't under any operational manual limitations or oversight agencie's goggles to determine whether you are operating safely or as desired! This simulator is very realistic.... coming from an actual helicopter pilot.

Force Trim Cyclic/Stick Dude, I'm an Attack Pilot - I'll leave it at that. In any case, I fly Helicopters, and you're idea is awesome. I would not only imagine that your design would be great for simple entertainment reasons, but also for actual training, particularly with respect to a sim such as Black Shark that simulates very well how these advanced aircraft actually fly. I'll be following your product closely. Keep up the good work bro.

T.E.C. Leader, and Groove, got the simulation working thanks to you guys. I had a lot of bugs on my computer. Cleared that out, so It's up and running. Thanks for your help and sound knowledge with these computers. Now I just have to figure out why my Track IR ain't working. Thanks guys!

T.E.C. Leader, thanks for the input. I'll be giving it a shot ASAP. I'll get back with you as soon as I can with results. Thanks bud.

Nope, I installed the English version only. I've done virus scans with both Symantec and McAfee, and everything seems to be checking out. However, I'm still not able to fly even after reinstalling after both system scans for viruses.

Fellas, I've downloaded BS many, many times, and I keep getting the same problem. The game starts, I can access the main page or top level page - but anytime I try to actually fly, it takes me back out to the operating system, and an error comes up. The error says: "The application's module DCS.exe was modified. It may be damaged or infected by a virus. Scan your computer for viruses and reinstall the application." I have scanned my computer numerous times, and I am coming up with a bug that Symantec leaves alone. The file I have that apparently is bad is "TDSSc6de.tmp". Not sure what the hell that is or means though. Basically, the game has installed, and works just fine until it comes time to fly - that's when my computer or the game stops cooperating. Any ideas? I'm about to throw this computer out of the window. I'm running on XP. If anyone can help me, I promise that you will have saved a life, and possibly the world. How does that sound?

Further, this has been recurring. I've removed and reinstalled this program three times. Also, I'm perfectly able to access every other portion of the sim, ie. mission planning, encyclopedia - but the second I try to fly, it throws me out to the operating system and I get that Module DCS.exe was modified.

Just downloaded Black Shark. Finally get the installation complete, and I can start the game. However, anytime I want to fly, be it instant action, campaign, or training, the game immediately takes me back out to the operating system. A message presents itself saying "The applications module DCS.exe was modified. It may be damaged or infected by a virus. Scan your computer for viruses and reinstall the application." I have Windows XP. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
