http://lockon.co.uk/index.php?end_pos=135&scr=products&lang=en ^link to LockOn site^ I found mine on Ebay, cost about $15 CDN, and $10 shipping, but you could also look around your local shops. I'm not sure if you can download lockon from anywhere, but you can download the 'unofficial' expansion "Flaming Cliffs" from the link above!

I agree with Viper, buy Lockon:FlamingCliffs from this site to contribute to TFC:ED, and have a blast flying the Su-25T!!

And a coupla screenies. I have Shockwave3D Lights installed, and changed the interior light to be red...very nice!!

Here's a quick vid of me trying to teach myself to quickstop in the DODO...I land pretty good, and when I take off again you can see the nose yaw hard to the right when I pass ETL! Very realistic! (this is on the hardest settings) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Susgnnj297U

I agree, Microsoft FFB 2, and no other FFB stick compares!!

Looking very impressive, keep it up!! (Rep inbound!)

your welcome, IMO helo controls should be VERY light, glad it improved your flying!

IMO, I would never buy another sim if I couldn't use my TIR4!! Absolutely a must...whichever form of headtracking you use. (of course i could probably live without it if I had a 1080P, 96" projector to sit in front of....)

Yes, Please share!! Good work again Chazz!

Those MSFFB2's have the red buttons, showing that they are the newer version....if i didn't already have a couple of these used sticks, I would jump on that purchase to see if its real!

Try loosening the spring by using a ZipTie(or ZapStrap, whatever you call them) to tighten a couple coils together. I used two zipties on my X52 and it worked well.

I think that many modders may be having too much fun flying right now!

There's 6 of us? Who had the baby?!

After spending a couple days flying the DODOSim 206, I can positively say this is THE heli to fly!! (in FSX that is!! heheh) Flying this thing has made me realize how easy life is in the Shark, with all the dampener's and autohover, autopilot, and contra-rotating rotors! I'll post pics and/or a short vid later, if I have time... ;) I am finally experiencing full-blown ETL, something never seen before in an FSX addon to my knowledge. I hope to use the DODO to help me get better at handling a chopper, which I hope helps me get a headstart when DCS:Apache arrives!!

Very nice!!

I use mediafire.com, although i dont know how 'permanent' they are!

Have you tried the newest nvidia drivers? I'm curious to see of they have activated SLI in BlackShark like they state they do!

Is that compared to your cockpit? Why not post some pics of your setup and let us judge your pit....I hope it has more than 72 switches!! :D BTW, Welcome to the forums!!

Thanks for the input, I havent heard a bad review about this thing yet....and I just talked the boss into letting me get this bird!! (and by talk, I mean drove her to the wine country for a day to visit some vineyards!! This thing cost me! :pilotfly:)

the manual... Well, after consulting with my better half and mother of my child, I have been informed that I can buy the Dodosim206 as soon as the Devil wears a toque and learns to iceskate!! :cry: To make matters worse, I've come across the manual (88pages) which details the physics modelled in the 206. It appears that the creators had to develop a brand new physics engine (external to the FSX airfile) that makes the bird fly realistically! An excerpt from the manual:

I have these shadows as well, only under cloudy conditions. I haven't seen the beach flashes you mention tho. So far have been unable to solve this problem(other than removing clouds altogether). I use a GTX260core216

I have been waiting for this bird for a long time...finally advanced helicopter flight dynamics and persistent wear and tear in FSX!!! http://www.dodosim.com/index.html Like all good addons for FSX it is expensive...I will post a review here soon. **EDIT** I see there is a Huey Dodosim(Vietnam era) coming soon as well, I may wait and buy that instead!

Looks amazing!! Post more pics when you have time!!

Love this new Sharkpit!! thanks again tango!!
