  2. That's correct of course, but since there is a mechanical link between both, their RPM are proportional. Because the FT/rotor RPM gauge is calibrated in percent of max. RPM, it measures both values.
  3. There are actually two engine RPM gauges: gas generator(GG)/compressor turbine RPM and free turbine(FT)/rotor RPM. For the difference see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboshaft
  4. Yeah, but note that according to the bottom part of that explanation Vapour is correct regarding the origin of that term. :)
  5. Patience, young Padavan... ;)
  6. The problem right now is that only the "Activate Group" trigger works correctly in MP, you will have to wait until that is fixed. Apart from that you can simply add client units to the mission or convert existing ones (select "Client" from the "Skill" drop down menu in the mission editor). Note that the clients cannot be in the same flight.
  7. Hehe, I think you noticed the irony in that pic... ;) (tbh, I have no idea what those are)

  9. Pffft Ghost, what's the report from an "actual, factual" Apache pilot vs. the uberwisdom of the Internetz. Clearly the Ka-50 can carry A2A weapons. Go figure...
  10. "Shack" is correct.
  11. It's a known problem, currently only the "Activate Group" trigger action works correctly in MP.
  12. That's why I asked you in the other thread if you used Vista and installed BS into the default Program Files directory. :music_whistling: If you install into Program Files be sure that the launcher.exe and DCS.exe start with admin rights, because then Vista should not create the "Compatibility Files" folder and use that to write program data.
  13. I hope you don't mind if I move this to the Cockpits section. :)
  14. That is exactly the point. If any of both side feels that the other infringed their rights, they can take it to court and let the judges decide. Until then nobody is guilty of anything, and that's why the accusations here have to stop now. Listen fellas, let Natural Point and the Free Track devs take care of their own business, they do not need anybody as their advocates. Thanks for your understanding.
  15. Yes, as Chillspider said, but you can also redownload it. Please read this: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=568704&postcount=3 If you use a download manager (like this) the download will be resumed where it stopped.
  16. That's what the FT/Rotor RPM to low or nominal switch on the collective stick is for.

    Fudd!

    Happy Birthday!
  18. HiTilesAF work with OF/RV after some registry tweaking. Do a search at Frugal's, there is a thread somewhere that explains how to make them work. :)
  19. I would always install and run it with admin privileges.
  20. Not necessarily. :)
  21. It will only bring you down to 4m and stop there.
  22. In fact, exactly what you describe happens when you install into "Program Files", as Vista uses file/folder virtualization for that directory tree. Programs with normal user rights are not allowed to write anywhere into "Program Files", instead their write requests for files in the "Program Files" tree are redirected to another "virtual" folder, where a copy of the original file is kept (and of course all read accesses to this file are also redirected to that copy). This way the program never alters the original file. To see the file copies that your program is actually writing to, click on the "Compatibility Files" button in the toolbar. Now if you start your program with admin rights, it will be allowed to write into "Program Files", and read accesses will not be redirected anymore to the virtual folder. That's why you seem to lose your settings, as the program now reads the original file, not the copy that has been altered. A bit more info here: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/VistasShowCompatibilityFilesAndTheScrumptiousWonderThatIsFileVirtualization.aspx
  23. As far as I understand it the feathering and lagging hinges use mechanical bearings, while the flapping hinge consist of the torsion bar.
  24. While this works, you have to understand that you are actually doing two different things. 1. Store the location you locked on into your ABRIS. 2. Send the location you locked on to your wingman. What you do not do is to send the location stored in your ABRIS, as you do not have an ABRIS target selected and the Shkval is the source for data link information. In fact if you simply want to send a location that you locked up with the Shkval, you can skip steps 2 and 3, you just do them for yourself to have the target stored in your ABRIS. The reason why you reset the Shkval is to tell the data link that you want to use another source of target information (ABRIS/PVI target points) for sending. And for the same reason you will run into problems when you have both a PVI target point and an ABRIS target selected.
