Yes please :)

Currently running into a few issues with the DSMS training, when they have you navigating around the different profiles the voice over doesn't match what the text says, and even guides you to different places than what the text is saying. Very confusing!

Ugh. Bought.

How about some gigantic desktop sized versions from the cockpit screenshots??? :D

Hope the new extended map applies to FC2 and DCS: Blackshark (I'm pretty sure it will). Also, INTERACTIVE TUTORIALS, finally!

It's up!!!!! http://simhq.com/_commentary/all_101c.html

Sweet, sounds like we are going to get a separate DCS: A-10 preview in a little bit :thumbup:

I, too, was going to pass it up...but now I'm not too sure. The price point is STILL a concern but it's definitely something I'm going to have to think about getting in the future.

HOTAS Warthog preview is up at SimHQ! Hopefully that is not all the news we will have regarding A-10 themed products ;) http://www.simhq.com/_commentary/all_101b.html

2+2=57 He never said he was using both HMS and NVG. The functionality of the HMS is there, just neither the animation for the monocle drop down for the cross hair appear, it sounds like.

The new patch made it very easy to span Black Shark across dual monitors. Alls you have to do is go into your options.lua file and edit your height, width and resolution settings to whatever the total resolution is to whatever you want. For example I have 2x 1980x1200 monitors, in the options.lua file my "height" setting is at 1200, and the "width" setting is at 3840, the resolution option is set to match that at "3840x1200." Alls that is left to do is edit your 1Camera.lua file so that the width and height match up to whatever your resolution is, also make sure to adjust your aspect ratio to match. You will find that running dual monitors has disadvantages though. The aspect ratio isn't very great (you will have to look down in order to see the ABRIS/Shkval), the Helmet mounted side and hud are both in the very center of the split between screens, making it hard to properly fly the aircraft. It LOOKS very cool though :D What would probably be best to do though, is manage to squeeze the ABRIS/Shkval screens onto 1/3 or 1/4 of one monitor, and run it like that. I am in the process of configuring DCS to do just that, but haven't had much luck. I saw a ss of a guy who had DCS configured to do that, but he didn't post any config files :( SS of what I'm talking about: http://img443.imageshack.us/i/20090711122455.jpg/ What happens is that I can get 80% of the way there. I can get both the ABRIS and Shkval to show up in an area to the side that I have setup for them, but they appear on top of each other in the top left of my monitor. I can move them up by giving them a - value in the 'x =' option in the .lua, so you would think that if I give them a + value it would move it down? Nope, as soon as you assign a + value to either one, the configuration doesn't detect the configuration for either ABRIS or Shkval. wtf?

God yes this. As far as I know there is no way to check mission times/objectives without either writing them down beforehand or exiting the game and checking (not really an option). Nthing the Dynamic Campaign system as well.

mm interesting. Got the new software...it PARTIALLY works in BS (but it got rid of the new 3D view that was SO nice) but it's still recognizing the precision slider as my throttle, and for some reason the game crashes A LOT now.

I get an error when I select the profile, saying it doesn't contain a profile for X52 - Pro, the device has not been profiled. Or something.

thx for the profile, question though: When I load it up in SST none of the controls work in DCS? Why is this? I just bought a x52 pro today so bear with me if it's a really commonly asked question :D

only thing that has worked for me is changing fire control to manual. I still don't get the "C" launch authorization a good 60% of the time from beyond 4 km

Judging from the training videos, ATG missiles seem to have a range of about 8.1km, however whenever I am using them, I do not get the "C" fire symbol from anything more than 2-3 km away, even less if it's an A2A target, where enemy Mi-24's can spam their missiles at me from over 5km away. Anyone know what this is about? Shkval is set to A2A mode in the right situations, the right pylons are selected, weapon master arm is on, everything is good to go, but I can just never fire the missile. It is always stuck on "LA" on my HUD and never moves on from there. It's getting pretty darned frustrating.

I beleive you are thinking of the air-to-air switch for the shkval sensor. Not exactly sure what the difference is though

Eegads man, 64bit for gaming has one advantage, memory addressing space, thats it. The biggest downfall of 64bit is if you have hardware devices that need drivers installed, they MUST be able to work with a 64bit OS

Hmm. Question: Since DCS takes it's inspiration from Lomac, will there actually be individual difficulty settings. Like say I want limited fuel, vulnerabilty and a realistic flight model, but I dont want to have to constantly fiddle with the AVRIS moving map and constantly adjust the inertial navigation, can I set those to a more arcade setting?
