Hello, Are there any pictures of what the APU on the Ka-50 looks like in real life? And where is it exactly positioned on the helicopter? Also, does it have it's own exhaust? I can hear it turning the engines, but I dont see it's exhaust from anywhere. Also what does that truck provide to the APU? fuel? electricity? Just curious :D I understand what an APU is, but I wanted to know what the Ka-50's looks like specifically. Thanks :D

The southern part of Georgia, the Akhalkalak region has a similar situation with Armenia as does South Ossetia with Russia, minus the fighting of course. During the Soviet era, that part of Armenia was joined to Georgia.

Yes, especially since I picked squadron 425 Alouettes in my pilot's log, I assumed in the ME i could be able to select it as my country.

hey Tharos, you're right, I think I really am taking off too fast...since im not giving it time to properly hover on the main gears. I assume if I press trim before the EKRAN signals "Flight", the trim will not have any affect? In that case, I understand now that when I push trim and then pull on the collective that nothing is trimmed :P

it happened to me too once, really sweet :D does anyone know if bullets striking your wheels will pop them in-flight?

hard time = fun time for me :D I agree , I jumped the gun a few times (no pun intended) when I started firing and using the weaponry, but my basic flying/navigation is still very poor, so now that I had a bit of taste of the weaponry, I can go back to basic flight, which in itself is a lot of fun :D

I find that landing on a helipad is alot harder then the runway, because, quite frankly I can't see vertically down, do I have to come in at an angle and gently "slope" down sideways onto the helipad? I guess I can always open the door and look down?

oh excellent, I never did it, and I was having a dickens of a time, trying to just keep it from moving back while pitching up :D thanks yo-yo :D

so, before doing a hover check, I should trim before taking off the ground? would that keep the helicopter from moving wildly?

I love you all equally, please do not fight for my love :D

I like to hear those kinda reactions from actual pilots! :D I love you eeagle dynamics

WOW!! I cant wait to see the final product!! thanks :D

Timm: LOLOL USSR_Rik: ah thanks! it does seem more convenient to change it like that on the go! :D

Hello, I was parked and trying out the various Ground crew radio commands. I discovered the following, but I do not know if its actually like that in real life (can they pump out excess fuel?) So I had an almost full tank of gas (both in the Forward and Aft tanks). Then I asked the gun crew to refuel me for 25% fuel via voice commands. The needles then dropped down to reflect 25% fuel load. So is this a design choice? Or simulating real-life (ie they can pump out gas too)? Or a bug? Thanks

are they close at all times? if so why? or is it during a turn?

Yep, I printed this puppy out!! :D Thanks a million :D

Agreed Great Job! This one is a keeper :D But I have a question, don't we also need to turn on the EKRAN/Hydraulics Switch from the rear wall panel in the beginning of the startup?

I for one, work in the game industry also, and time and time again, we've seen small projects get canned to make way for milk cow console games... I can therefore understand 100% the sacrifice, the risks and the pressure it takes to make a game of this caliber :D Thanks again

were I to have 50+ children I would name them after each of the developers that worked on this project, that's how much I love this sim :D

+1 :D

Hello, Im usually lurking around in these forums, and not really posting - but I bought the english version yesterday and I cannot hold back any longer! I come from an IL-2 heavy and LOMAC light background, but after going through the game for a couple of hours, I can honestly say that the bar has been raised in flight sim quality. From the biggest things, down to the smallest details, I can say that DCS has done an excellent job with Black Shark. I cannot wait to see what the future holds. Yes, there might be small hitches and bugs, here and there...but honestly...what game comes out 100% clean? So I just wanted to thank everyone at DCS and ED for an amazing game! I'll be on this one for YEARS to come!!!

As we say in the IL-2 Forums: "In two weeks, be sure!"

WOWOW very impressive! very modern - seems intuitive also :D a big thumbs up!!! :D also mp as a seperate executable is fine too - Call of Duty 4 had it I find loading time to be faster since they are seperated into 2 :D

Hello, Im going to format my PC and I wanted to know which files I need to backup to save the following: 1) controls 2) my campaign progress (su25t flaming cliffs) 3) my pilot logbook thank you very much!

I would like to point out what Call of Duty 4 did with the AC-130: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLq2WMm5vso Although a bit arcadey, the feeling is definitely there, it's scary!!! I think an AC-130 would definitely be an interesting addition, one day!
