Hotpants

Thanks for your reply Hotty

GGTharosc, thanks for the post. I take it the contract means that we will have to pay ED the extra time to do the coding for the carrier? We are currently part of the Lock-on community and we were looking forward to progressing from Lock-On to DCS modules.I myself have DCS: Black Shark, though i might add is the best flight sim game i have ever played, period. The only reason why we are asking is that if there is just one plane available, we can do the models, skins etc which we make available to the public, as previous http://www.carrierpilots.com/ So, if there is only AI controlled carriers available (currently) for the DCS range, when the new tool sets are released with DCS A10, is it possible to convert the AI to player able carriers? OR does the coding need to be implemented straight from the ground up? It will be a shame if this is not possible....but hey, looks like we may have to wait abit longer Hotty

I am aware that in its entirety that its a stand alone game which adds into other DCS modules, I was just wondering if this module incorporate a carrier, ie there is a carrier in DCS: Black Shark, well a m8 says that there is, I have the game but have not tried doing a mission or looked for one as yet. Hotty

Hi there, Just a question relating to the A10 addon, will this incorporate a carrier fleet at all? ie similar to how LOMAC? Thanks Hotty http://www.virtualnavairops.com

I came across a thread with a Newinput.dll file. I had been reading posts in DCS and Free-track that some of these files did not work. But i downloaded the one i have and i now have 6 DOF.

I looked in the Temp folder and the Error file was not even populated as what other ppl have uploaded. So I uninstalled BS updated the graphics card drivers, reinstalled BS and included reinstalling the Directx drivers. Went into the game only to assign basic flight controls and started the sim no problems. Came out of the game and looking in the temp folder which showed a more populated Error.text. This is now attached to this post. I will make a note of actions from now incase it happens again. *EDIT* i had to create a new text files as the attachment to this reply function would not recognise it. Ryan Error_log.txt.txt

Has anyone had the same problem? I was playing a few days ago finally got the key assignments working to how i want them, dl the 6DOF file from free track running sound then started the game this afternoon and now some of the key assignments don't work. The Shkval movements up/down is wanting to lock onto everything but going left/right works fine. Checked if there was anything conflicting there isn't. Ive moved my USB plugging in into another port incase it was that but everyting runs fine in Lock-On. So BS / controller was not working together. messed about with some key assignments went into instant action to try them and the game crashed. Now even after rebooting it still doesn't work. Should i reinstall ? Thanks

Thanks for the reply =Prophet= but if i wanted someone to imply im stupid or be sarcastic to i would of asked for it, but thanks all the same. If your incapable of not reading my post, I made the profile up well before i got the game, actually just after the key assignments were available. Point 3 - I have had the game since Thurdays, Ive been trying to sort my key commands out since then. So its come to the point that i need further help. The problem is that these forums have links going all over the place, a thread to say that there is no TIR use in the English version now there is. Ive spent plenty of bloody hours on these forums to try and find what i need to know. I put a post on here to ask a question, whats the bloody point when they have ppl like you on here giving scarcastic unconstructive comments. Thank you very much, i won't be coming back on here anymore. Now that is a rant, im a 35 year old professional engineer in the medical / aeronaughtical industry not a school child. Looks like theres no point coming to these forums in the future. Enjoy

sorry its the English version My original post was that i was sticking with Lock-on until ppl got BS sorted... If in my X52 program utility and i assign pinky + keys, these are not working in game. So I wanted to know why these commands are not being picked up in BS. This then led to who has the same stick and to how they have got there X52 programed. ie to the extent of how much configured in the X52 program Util and in game allocations. Regarding the clearing off assignments of keys in-game so they do not conflict with assignments in the X52 profiler, I have cleared these.. Ryan

ok m8, many thanks for the replies Ryan

I will look into the free-track laters tonight, regarding the X52 program utility, I use the program which came with the controllers, not the one of the Saitek web site as this wouldn't work with Lock-on. I had my profile configured to the following Mode 1 >Nav Mode 2 >Weapons Within these profiles i had the pinky going to other commands, shkval direction, cage size, Auto Hover etc but when i try this in game it doesn't work. when i try an config the pinky key in game it will not pick up on a 2 key compination Ryan

I carn't believe ive waited this long and now im wondering wether it was worth it I built my Free Track system for the intention of seeing wether it was worth it before buying the NP one, now all this about NP and the marketing ploy has just disgusted me beyond belief. Then ive got the X52 and I carn't use the program utility which came with it..It took me ages to do a config before it was available and the only way now is to do it in game. At the moment not having a good time with BS, starting to wonder wether its worth the hastle. Don't get me wrong ive tried to fly it but its becoming impossible. Looks its not a rant.. well partly...Can anyone please describe exactly how they programmed the X52 be it through the program util or in game, and freetrack / NP situation...well we will have to see, after this little stunt they have done, i won't be buying Sweet FA of them. Also, why carn't BS take joystick commands like Lock-on? ie the config utility runs sweet in lock-on? Thanks for your responses in Advanced, im sticking to Lock-on before i lose interest altogether. Ryan PS. Well done to all the team in making this project a reality and the time and effort involved. I love the interface and the music, menus, very well presented.

I am £$%$£%ing annoyed that ppl have distrabuted this software on torrent. I have to many swear words currently ranting from my mouth as i type this. I totally agree with the open later. You have to protect yourself. I will wait till next christmas if that what it takes. Though i haven't posted much and have only joined the forums, i have been following flight sim developers since playing F-18 on the Amiga (yes im old).... Look after yourself guys and girls. Like i have said in a previous post about never knowing a software developer be as open and informative has you peeps. That warrants respect. Ill be waiting Ryan

I have to say that i have never ever known a software developer and partners keep the public/fans so up to date with software development, updates, advice the (list goes on) as much as you guys. Well done everyone who as worked on this project, as one put it in a post on youtube 'This is going to be a classic' you got that right

I know what it is, the green button is to pop up the 'Middle Finger' which you used to see in the back of cars rear parcel shelfs... and the other buttons are for the red LED messages also which you used to see on the back of cars.....' So Black Shark kills tank, helicopter flys over, middle finger goes up, message, 'Suck my Russian salty balls' Ive got my money on this explantation

Thanks for the reply Ryan

Hi all Please bare with me, its my first post on these forums. Ive just read through all thereplys in this thread. First of i would like to say a very well done to all those at the front and behind the scenes on making this and it will be the best and most advanced Helicopter sim (public domain) ever. As soon as i saw a youtube post i nearly wet myeslf, highly embarrassing since im potty training my 2 year old.... This is a to all those ppl wanting to post in this thread, PLEASE READ ALL THE REPLYS. I could get rid of at least 10 pages alone on ppl not reading previous post, its tiring for me as i want to add question but think of the admins...... It might be worth putting a closed sticky in general discussions on the issues brought up?? Ok.. just a few questions... I am thinking of downloading the digital content version on the 17th (im from the UK) this mainly to learn how to fly (not combat) the Black Shark than anything else. I am sure that extra revenue could be made if some sort of English text/manual is available. So question, 1) Is there a free-flight mode available in the game, not having to go through the campaign mode? 2) Will it be possible for an English .pdf be available just for navigating through the menu? 3) will there be a short cut for starting the engines? as on Lock-on? Now a question on the web site, why has the news page not been updated? If i was going to release this game, be it in Russain or any other country i would be screaming the place down with regard to the release :( 27th Feb it was last updated which really isn't good enough as this is your front page to the whole world about this game. Are you lacking in web site admins? I am sure there are plenty in the community that will jump at the chance to support and run the site. Anyway nuff said, i need to go looking for energy saving light bulbs..... joy :doh: EDIT* if i do buy the 17th Version, i will be buying the UK version when released next year, sorry missed that point Ryan
