GA you are the man!! Great video as always.

yeah, i was saving that song for a future project, when my video making skills are better developed. Thanks for watching, im glad you liked it. Thanks Erdem, i will check that link out for sure. Thanks everyone!

Alright, well after scrapping project after project, i finally stayed up late last night to put some dcs footage together with some music. Got it all done and uploaded it to youtube today, and they said i couldnt use the song i had on there. so i went back and put a different song to them same footage, and obviously im way disappointed, and the video should have been better, but its my first video anyway so whatever. geee I bet you guys are pumped to watch it now huh. anwya, its still worth watching if you like youtube vids. I hope yo uenjoy it. my next project will be better. this is just a fan video, with some shark footage and music. edit: alright, i really hate the youtube one, because they nixed my original soundtrack, and it really just isnt appropriate for the footage. heres the viddler version with the original song, they way it should have been, which wasnt much to begin with, but the music makes the difference. http://www.viddler.com/explore/Nightshift/videos/2/

Hey man, i dont think anyones going to make that vid for you. anyway, just select air to air targeting mode. then make sure you are within range (laser on) and just keep slewing the shkval over the target. you most likely wont get a lock right away, but if you are persistent, you will get a lock. Just keep trying, youll get it. good luck!

I think ED should try and get featured on G4 tv. That would get them better exposure. They (g4) have to be desperate for new games/tech to talk about on there. Maybe DCS could get featured on attack of the show or something.

yeah!! f-16 and su-27! yeah!! ED rules! EDIT: I just want to add, that ED has set a great example by publishing their own product. A great accomplishment, that the rest of the industry could learn alot from. As far as im concerned you guys set the standard. smooch smooch. lol.

Yeah, it will replay everything in the original flight........... like all your input......... Well like I said, someone else will be better able to explain exactly how the replay feature works, but WHAT I DO KNOW is that it does not work the way you think it does. But hey, do whatever you want. If you really want better performance, eliminate non essential programs running in the background as i stated earlier, and perform routine system maintenance i.e. defrag disc/registry etc.

I dont think so man, DCS engine does not actually record "video" for your replay. If you look at the track files, they are very small. someone else will surely explain how that works much better than i can. But Im pretty sure the track replay, just records certain information about the flight, just models, and locations and speeds etc. any event that occurs in the game (like at the end of a mission when it breaks down everything that happened in the mission). Then when you go to watch a "replay" the game just uses that information to " recreate" the flight. Again im no expert, but I think thats roughly how it works. thats how you can have a mission that last hours, and the track file is still very very small. what I would suggest, if your performance isnt as good as you would like, and IF YOU ARE ONLY PLAYING SINGLE PLAYER go ahead and disconnect from the internet, then you can shut off any anti virus/spyware and any other non essential programs you have running in the background, that should free up alot of memory, and improve your performance.

I dont mind the messages, especially since nobody communicates.

would it be possible for someone to upload a template or something, or just a blank mission even with a radio station in every city or something so we can get radio all over the place? That way the radio stations would already be in place, people would just have to input their own audio for it. and could just build missions starting by copying the blank mission with all the radio stations everywhere. Of course someone would have to take the time to do it, and then upload for all the peoples of the world to enjoy.

That's cool, I was just wondering. typing gets really frustrating, especially when you forget to press the tilda key, and you type a whole big line of text, then you realize you just clicked about a hundred switches, and you have no idea what they were. :) Ok i just registered at Ka-50.com. Registered as Nightshift (thats my callsign.). Site looks cool. Im looking forward to flying with you guys. Thanks!

bronk! wrong answer.

Hey guys, ive noticed that nobody includes the Teamspeak server info in the mission description for online play. It seems quite a few people put things like "visit our website to see our teamspeak server info...." Why not just put it in the mission description?

ah yeah, i forgot about that below 4m thing, that may have been what did it a few times yesterday. thanks ill remember that. im just talking about the blue button that says alt hold, so its not supposed to go off after disengaging the hover? thanks guys, I definitely still have alot to learn, and im not trying to come off as complaining, I just thought I would ask. Time to go for a flight.

roger that guys, yeah, ive noticed this issue for a while, and at first, I thought that it was an issue connected with using "easy" start up option, but lately it has been occurring in flights where i start everything myself. I know there is issues with easy start up, and I usually dont use it, but sometimes I do just because im lazy, or i want to take a smoke break while it starts up. Also, I think im pretty good about not engaging hover hold until my airspeed and climb/descent are all where they should be, and i always disengage the hover hold, when leaving the hover. However, if you notice, alot of times the blue button for hover, will stay lit even after you have disengaged the system. even if you press ctrl x to turn off rad alt hold, the button will still stay lit. (sometimes it turns off, sometimes it doesnt) OK just wanted to make sure it wasnt just me and that ED was aware of it. It'll probably get fixed in the next patch. It just drives me nuts sometimes, because it always seems to happen right at the worst frickin time. low altitude, hiding from enemy's, trying to get positioned for an attack, and just when you think you got it, you realize she wont sit still and your auto pilot says 'happy birthday see you later".

Hey everyone, I apologize if this thread is supposed to be somewhere else. I thought there was a sticky for this, but I dont see it, and I used the search function, but didnt get any solid results. so here we are. I actually have a few bugs to ask/report about, some of which I cant remember right now. The one that seems to be affecting me more and more lately however, is auto pilot going on the fritz for apparently no reason. It seems to be connected with engaging the auto hover. I dont know if its also connected via the fact that often the auto pilot button light, stays on after you have turned it off. sorry, I know this is not the right way to write a bug, Im, just rushing out the door, and wanted to get this out there. Thanks.

Hey you guys, a friend of mine just got black shark. I guess after hearing me rave about it constantly he decided to get it. thing is, he is totally new to sims, and he doesnt even have a flight stick. I am just wondering if you guys map the controller "in-game" or if you use something like xpadder or something. I am also wondering if anyone has been able to use one of the analog sticks (right stick) to control pilot head movement. and if so how do you do this. Thanks guys. I just figure if I can get this guy into it, he will end up buying the proper gear, but without any reasonable means of controlling the aircraft, he will probably just get frustrated and lose interest. if you guys dont mind sharing your xbox controller configuration for DCS that would be great. I would really appreciate it.

roger that, thats usually what I do in that situation, break off the attack, regroup, reset the laser, and try it again.

I think im like a thread killer. im like the cooler of the ED forums. I swear, whenever I post in a thread, that thread dies. People stay away from it like its got the plague.

right, I should have seen the tail end of that link .trk sorry, I had just woke up. havent watched it yet. though I should have watched it last night, because i watched replays for a good two hours at least.

Thanks man!

same here, I tried this yesterday hoping that someone had found a way to make it work with xp, but it does not work for me at all. el waste of el time. Edit: yeah I just got member status!

I thought the "X" meant that my laser was overheating. I based that assumption on absolutely nothing though. I also thought that it was part of the IFF, telling me not to shoot at friendly forces. Again, based on..........nothing. does it mean either of those too? as well as being too close?

Great Idea!! Thank you. Ill be over there asking questions for sure.
