I think its worth the money as well, just like Itkovian, I did the same with F4 and it cost around 50 bux to do a manual in a binder, so that's cool. OH....and I got a response from gogamer.com, they said about 2 more weeks until they get stock! amazon won't reply lol.....

hey thanks itkovian. I probably will order it. Does anybody know where ED is located? Maybe that way I can figure out how long a shipping time would be. Thanks

anyone? Thanks....

I need to know that also, been checking amazon and gogamer for weeks...they don't have them. If we order from ED what is the delivery time to United states? Can anyone give an idea? Thanks

....the shooting range mission? Been out of it a while and just reloaded BS with the new patch, seemed I had that mission for target practice. Thanks ****EDIT: Found it, looking in the wrong directory! Sorry about that! *****

I personally like this, it helped me because I could relate to some of the stuff of each system as you describe it...pretty cool technique and thanks!

PERFECT!!! Wow that solved the problem, really appreciate it CP. Here is a track of me holding her still at WP2!! http://www.southernfireband.com/files/hoverhold2.trk

CP!!! Thanks so much for that information, and you know you are right now that I am looking at the track. The weird thing is I don't know how they are getting knocked down? Could be something mapped strange in my setup or something, I do have one of the sliders mapped to throttle, I believe I will remove that and just use the standard keyboard to see if that helps. Thank you very very much for noticing that! And I am certain that is what is going on here now that you pointed that out.

Ok here is the mission that came with the "Dummy's guide to DCS". Excuse the takeoff, I nearly bottomed out lol. But I go to WP1 fine, and when I get to WP2, start to slow up and use the trimmer and hover hold, I can never get it to sit still, like the hover hold just doesn't work? I don't know, but here it is and thanks for the help. http://www.southernfireband.com/files/LastMissionTrack.trk

Thanks man, I just never have used it. Let me go fly a mission and I will get the track up for you guys. Thanks

I hate to sound really retarded but I haven't ever used track recording, what is the keys to activate the track recording or how do I do it? Sorry I looked and could not find it in the manual. Thanks

Hi guys I have been flying BS alot and recently did an uninstall, deactivate, clean reinstall and ran the 1.01 patch and the 1.01a hotfix. Since then, I can't figure out what I am doing wrong but I can't seem to get the shark to sit still no matter what I do or try. I have an x52 pro setup with no pedals. I read in another thread that Wombat advised to turn off forcefeedback=false in one of those files, I can't remember which it was. I did it and I thought that fixed the problem, but it hasn't. The new trimmer is great, I have used the old and the new and I am sticking with the new trimmer. The problem I have is to me it doesn't seem like the hover hold or autopilot works since the patch and I can't figure this out. I hit the button on my stick assigned to hover on/off and I see in the HUD that it is on. I also note that on the right side of the cockpit, all 4 AP lights are lit up blue, I believe they are bank pitch heading and alt hold. Here is how I am trying to hold the bird still: First I slow down and get pretty close on what attitude I want the shark to be in. I use the trimmer during that and get it almost close. When I turn on Hover hold with all 4 lit up, the bird just flies backward or sideways or anywhere I don't want it to go. I turn the Hover hold off and I can get close by just using the trimmer, but it still is moving around quite a bit. I remember pre-patch that when I hit that hover hold I could make her sit perfectly still, now I can't for some reason. I am using the left-win Home key auto start procedure also. One other note, I am trying to follow the Dummy's guide to DCS Blackshark that was written by para_bella, here is the link: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2626185/STICKY_Tutorial_How_to_take_of.html#Post2626185 In the tutorial, it says to turn on hover hold by using left-ctrl T. I am not sure if that is right or wrong? Is there something I am missing, such has turning on/off something or the way that I do it wrong? Could somebody help or point out where to look on how to do this correctly? Thanks for the help Viper3Two

Hey Snack I think you can hit right Ctrl and Enter and a little guage will come up showing stick position, I am not sure if it shows pedal or not, but I think that's it. Viper

Hey thanks Wombat! Worked for me as well!!

Thank you sir! Much appreciated.

I did a complete reinstall of bs along with patch 1.01 so it would be a clean process patching. Noticed now there is a 1.01a out, should I install it or just leave it like it is? Thanks

I am in Knoxville, TN...went to BB this weekend and it is on the shelves! Coolness! I already have a paid for d/l version, getting the hardcopy as well!

I will give that a shot too, I will default the router and then add it back in.

Had some storms on sat night so I couldn't try but this is what the plan is for next weekend. I will give this a shot, appreciate all the help!!

thanks for the replies. I will give it a shot this weekend by direct ip instead of clicking on the server list. I have wireshark and have played with it a bit, I will see if I can do some capturing to see what is going on. very strange tho lol...thanks again for the help.

just my two cents. been running xp pro for a long time and feared switching to vista for everybody telling me that nothing would run, i couldn't find drivers, it is glitchy, ect....I have about 1 TB of games installed and would not do it because I "thought" it would break everything. Boy was I wrong.... Well, I just built a new box (still in process tweaking) and couldn't be happier with vista 64. MASSIVE frame rate improvements and generally, it runs alot smoother. I had no, absolutely no issues installing stuff except for that stupid game explorer thingy, but I just made my own start menu folder for my games and copied the shortcuts there. Other than that, no issues with drivers, hardware or any of my sims and games. Not even the old stuff!!I won't go back to xp now lol.

anyone have any ideas? thanks!

Hey Dusty and EtherealN thanks for the reply. Sorry I haven't been on yours yet! Been pretty busy and just now trying to get mp working at least. He is new to the shark too, he is a flight fan that I know from work, flies in real life (private pilot) so he got the shark too a few weeks ago. I haven't tried connecting to other people other than him. I may give that a shot next week when I get the weekend off. We pretty much have tried everything and not sure what the issue is. I also can connect via win live messenger and talk while we try to get it working, that works fine. He has Norton and has it completely disabled. The only thing I run is Antivir, and both of us have windows firewall going. We have tried dropping the firewall, norton, antivir and still can't get connected. Have tried both ways, I host then he tries to host. EtherealN, to answer, yep...we both have double checked our routers for 10308 tcp and udp ports enabled. Is there something that we are missing? It seems fine if we find a server that is open and we can both connect without issues to it. Not sure what the deal is tho...lol.... Thanks for the help and appreciate it! Oh and PS Dusty: I built a new rig and still am working on it for the flight sims, hopefully soon I should have it going. I7-965, evga gtx285, 6gigs corsair dominator, ultra 120, evga x58 mobo!

Hi A friend of mine and I both have DCS, and we are both able to connect to alot of the online servers. We never can connect to each other for some reason. We both put the port in the both of our routers, have turned firewalls off, antivirus off. have tried hosting and client both. I can see his host, he can't see mine. When I do try to connect to his host, it gets stuck at loading mission and sits there. We have tried many different missions as well. We usually wind up flying FSX cause we never can get the sharks to connect, just wish we could! Any ideas on this? Thanks

3dmark06. I read somewhere that 3dmark vantage is the current one? anyways, 3dmark06 is the one I am benching with.
