The more you delve the more you relise the AI can be utterly stupid and you have to start editing/desiging around that. Sometimes you end up having to put in so much extra work to achieve such a simple thing. Still lets hope A10 fixed it and we get better tools in BS soon.

I have never had a case of it panning too quickly, but then I do tend to do it in bursts so I can study the terrain. Make sure your not zoomed in when panning, check the slew rate, not sure if that's for the auto-scan or the manual mode, I never touch it, but you might be able to turn it down to you benefit. I am not sure how I have the controls set up for my Saitek (the button pressing method I mean), but I set it up in the software not in BS. It might behave differently.

Are you saying sound doesn't work Kreon? A tip for all SB users, switch your output to 44.1Khz 16 bit. All sorts of problems (in all sorts of applications/games) can manifest themselves due to higher settings. EDIT: 700 posts...woop!

It's far easier to bind the controls to a hat switch on your joystick and just do it manually.

Are you talking about the weapons loadout screen in the mission editor? Quite why anyone told you to edit files I don't know, unless they are suggesting it for a campaign mission, but even then they can be edited in the mission editor. As you have found, go in the mission editor, select the vehical, select a weapons load out from the options, or create your own. Another option is to use the ground crew to change the load out on the ramp/pad. Unless I am mistaking what your trying to do?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12531127 So now people can officially start working (in the spring) on a kinect head tracking software...could be a big winner!

I think you need the 64bit beta of the TiR software if what I have seen around is true.

Who's this ED chap? :D

Oh one last question...what's next? :P

Thank you. I am very tempted to purchase it tonight just to see what all the fuss has been about and to see what updates I can hopefully see coming to BS.

Congratulations ED. I am not going to buy/download it yet, but will soon, I can't play it yet so people who want to and can, can play it sooner. One question though, is this actually a release or is it an RC?

Did you select the launcher.exe and select the icon from it?

To change the icon for any shortcut: Right click the shortcut Select properties Choose the "short cut" tab Select "Change Icon" Choose "Browse" and navigate to the specific EXE file that contains the icon your after (in this case: **something here**\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\x86\stable\launcher.exe) Select the icon you want, and confirm your way back to the desktop.

In vane I think. I would suspect an effect like that would be part of the model.

And you don't need to compress your video to FLV, youtube does that for you, or mp4 depending on what res your uploading it at.

I am going to go with angle/range. In other words, the correct angle and distance from target so the bullets get penetration.

The reason for the HOTAS is in the name and in the post, less time with your head down equals more time looking out which in turn equals more situational awareness. Basically you can keep an eye on the bloke. The mission tells you what to do, land. So land, shut down and you should be prompted that it's all good. At that point exit the mission.

Well no offence, but that is just poo :D

I think we are more likely to see a single seater and rader sorted first. They need to sort radar, that's a given. But to sort that and get two player right (which is also a pretty big unknown) I think it would be too much for a single title. Also there is that whole "it's usually something stemming from a mil contract" thing.

I really don't understand you how you could loose him, just keep him in visual contact, if you do that you won't loose him. Remember to trim to keep the forward speed as close to his as possible, then just turn at his turning points. If your far enough back you should be able to see him make a full turn before you have to, and thus you can make sure you keep behind him. If you leave it long enough that he has completed his turn you can then just cut the corner, keeping him either in your left/right and centre window at all times. Remember to not do too much to the collective when your turning, or you may end up a lot higher/lower than him and loose him that way. EDIT: This is all a lot easier if your using a HOTAS and some sort of head track software, as you can look around far quicker, basically glancing in directions, which means your eyes off target time is limited as much as possible.

I usually put amo dumps in my missions, just because they are interesting when they blow up. But yes I agree with this, explosions need to be better. I like the explosions in Company of Heroes, dirt and debris is thrown up and it all looks lovely.

I can't remember the button, but also remember you have to crossfeed the fuel to balance the tanks. I have run out of fuel a few times (usually after I haven't played it for a while) due to hearing the warning and thinking "oh the other tank is fine". It also might be worth putting my English Cockpit Mod on so you can understand betty.

I want to play Stalker now: http://www.themysteryworld.com/2010/12/abandoned-remains-of-russian-space.html

Ah right, well I don't have FF so I can't really comment, sorry.
