Thanks for the info! I will wait for that then! :D

Looks great. What's the difference between the two mission types? Does 'With AI Wingmen for Lead' just mean you get some wingmen and the other one is just solo?

Does this campaign still work with current DCS? I just re-installed and felt like flying the MiG-21 again. Sadly the single player campaign included is a bit meh. This looks like a lot of fun!

I bought it purely for combat, but against like you said, drug traffic up in the mountains of Georgia. Blowing up trucks, choppers and shooting down planes filled with heroin!

Isn't ground crew always black? Make sure you have your radio switch turned to the ground crew setting as well.

I put the MiG-15 in as well as WW2 fighters. Also I throw in the Russian bombers as well on 'intercept' missions as it's hard to tell if they are old or not so they kinda fit. But yes, for straight up 1 on 1 dogfighting it's only the MiG.

I would love to see a campaign even without a Korea map. I make my own story up with when flying the Sabre against the MiG. The Duchy of Georgia vs the Northern Union of United Provinces. Kind of a cold war right now as the casucas mountains make an invasion tough and what is normally Abkhazia is a UN 'mandate' setup to prevent an invasion of either side... So that means it's just some good old fashioned dog fighting over the mountains!

Great advice BitMaster! Thanks! :D

Hehe .so you're saying just avoid air to air combat for now?!

Thanks guys. That worked great. Only missed 1 or 2 shots. UN Task Force 21 tanks falling back after a withering assault from Northern Union Ka-50 attack helicopters. :D

Thanks Yurgon! I will give that a try tonight! :D Been doing the Georgian Oil War camapign and alot of the missions are on the morning and seem to give the Shkval fits! Once more question....actually two... 1) Should I turn the laser off when not using it? I haven't been but read somewhere you can overheat the laser? 2) What's the procedure for anti-air? An MI-24 shot me down in my last mission. Wasn't sure how to engage him and with what. Thanks!

Sorry i am bumping an old thread but thought it better then making a new one. I came across this issue recently as well. Morning missions i cannot lock anything. What is the procedure for firing without a lock? Just keep the box on the target after firing? Thanks!

Thanks for all the help guys. Think I have it figured out. Got in and out of auto hover several times tonight while blowing up Northern Union air defenses! :D

Excellent. That his helpful too! I will try that! I found the 'attack' on the FARP a bit disappointing as the choppers don't really explode when they are on the ground. I imagine I have to make them 'explode' upon damage as they don't seem to be able to 'die'.

Thanks for the reply. It actually helped. Well I have always monitored the descent/ascent gauge quite closely, I didn't even bother with the air speed gauge as I relied on the digital readout in the HUD. What a mistake it seems. Last night I noticed that my airspeed was sometimes 10-15km off from what the digital readout said. Referencing the airspeed gauge more often should make a big difference! :D

I like the Ka-50 campaigns so far. I however always play them as missions and not as the campaigns. I like to be the judge of if a mission is successful or not. Sometimes you can fail a long mission for something arbitrary. And also if there is a frustratingly hard mission that I am not enjoyed I can just skip it! :D

Thanks! It is an interesting helo to fly. I think of it as almost a glass cannon. Hits hard from long range but seems very fragile. I spend most of my time in a Huey and that sucker is a hard charger into gunfire and can take quite a few hits and lose half of it's systems and still fight. The Ka-50 seems if it takes 1 round it knocks out my targeting and HUD and then I am blind. ;) I suppose that's what makes it fun. The strategy of hitting hard from far away before closing in. :pilotfly:

I will keep that in mind for sure. Thanks for all your help! :D

Thanks! Good to know! :D

I think it might just be practice. I find when I go from hover to fast then try to get back to a hover state the chopper is super rocky. Going this way and that. At first I thought it was me fighting the autopilot but even with FD on it's pretty unwieldy.

Thanks for reply. I will check on the wind and ground effects. Axis seems good. Set them up with some recomendations I found in Chuck's guide and using the little 'red' axis' and collective monitor everything seems really good.

Thanks! Good info! :D One question, how does one get the indicator back? When I activate my weapons my HUD changes and I lose the indicator and speed (which I can still see on the weapon TV screen).

Hey all. Picked up the Ka-50 BS2 module a bit ago and love flying this chopper. Starting to figure it out and enjoying the missions. Getting the basics of the autopilot,trim and flight director took some time but starting to get the hang of it. Really enjoy the weapons systems as well. My main issue is auto hover.... I can only seem to do it if everything is 'perfect'. By that I mean perfect approach where I can slow down in time and not have to move much. I really struggle to get into auto hover if I have been flying fast or moving somewhat erraticly. Even when I get my speed to under 10 I am always drifting left or right or backwards. Been watching a ton of videos on YouTube and those chaps make it look so easy. Anyways just looking for any tips you Ka-50 vets might have on getting into autohover. Thanks for your time! :D

Thanks for the post. It was a simple fix based on me being a noob to the editor :P A guy in Reddit reminded me that only one group could share a FARP. I had all choppers as individuals. Once I made them one group they all landed. :D

Hello all. Not sure if this is the right place but have a question about FARPs. I am new to using the editor and trying to make a mission where a Ka-50 attacks a FARP. I want 2-3 choppers parked on the pad. My issue is when I place the choppers it doesn't give me an option where to put them. This leads to a few issues... 1) A few times 2 choppers shared a pad. 2) Even when placing 3-4 choppers, never more then 2 ever appear. 3) Is it possible to have them not take off, just parked? I tried doing a 'static' object but you can't place them. Thanks for any tips or info on this! :D
