Ricardo, thank you for sticking with this project to it's completion. Your work is truly awesome!

It's somehow comforting to know I'm not the only one who fly's the Black Shark like that. :)

I think I have solved the riddle, it's the throttle setting. I was forgetting to set the throttle to automatic, which left it in the low setting. The result is ground speed will most often not be displayed in the HUD and auto hover goes crazy every time. I kind of doubt this is a feature of the Ka-50, and may be a bug in the program.

I have used three separate cold start check lists, followed the procedures meticulously, used the cockpit stop watch to insure I have been stationary for at least 3 minutes, and still auto hover goes crazy when I apply it. I have spent hours working on this and it's driving me crazy. :wacko: Has anyone actually gotten this to work? If yes, what am I missing?

I have run into the same problem myself, whenever I do a manual cold start I never see the ground speed in the HUD and Auto Hover goes crazy with auto pilot lights flashing as the bird bucks and spins out of control. However, when ever I auto start everything works as it should. I have tried everything I can think of to fix this, including sitting on the ground for up to 10 minutes, all to no avail. Any suggestions?

Thank you for all your hard work on our behalf.

Just a little tap on the wheel brake will release the parking break, so I've gotten into the habit of tapping my wheel brakes on final to insure my parking break has been released.

I have the Russian version of Black installed, but now when I try to run IL-2 1946 I get part of the Black Shark menu graphics in the background of the IL-2 main menu and the program freezes. Anyone else encounter this? Is there a fix?

This is perfect! Thank you very much.

Excellent job on the manuals. Thanks ED!

Yes, I have thoughtfully read every word of every post on this thread, and I think the salient point is not copy protection but rather the degree to which it is applied. On that point ED owes it to themselves to really listen to what the customer is saying.

My comment was not intended to be provocative, nor insulting. Many companies spend a lot of money in an attempt to hear what their customer base has to say. Well the customers are speaking, so wisdom dictates to let them speak. This is a golden opportunity for ED to gauge the mood of their constituency on a topic that could profoundly affect their product for years to come.

Your customer base is speaking here. It's time for you to listen.
