I see - things like new netcode and I imagine any new visual effects like weapons (but not aircraft models - I'm guessing that will be done with a less detailed placeholder so they can appear in multiplayer but people can't fly the full version by tweaking files about) the new package needs will be available.

Ah right, fair enough. I knew that (obviously) you wouldn't get the new aircraft without buying the new package, but was just wondering about new engine tweaks, rendering updates, that kind of thing. I had every intention on buying the new packages as soon as they came out anyway :D Just waiting for the english boxed version of BS.

Am I right in thnking that any engine upgrades in subsequent packages will be made available to anyone who has bought previous packages?

Maybe something to add in an update would be maybe a permanent record of 'friendly/enemy' online kills, and a server admin could specify a threshold below which you're prevented from entering. That way it would let you hit a few accidentally, stopping simple newbs (different from noobs ;) ) from being barred but should bar the people who are just out to cause trouble.

As far as I'm aware it's the fact that you're going very fast, combined with very high loads on the rotors, which causes them to collide. At low speeds, both cone by similar amounts, but at high speed, the retreating blade 'bites' the air less (because its speed through the air is less - the blade's speed minus your forward speed) meaning the rotor cones more on one side. Because the two rotors spin in opposite directions, you get the high cone on opposite sides for each rotor, so eventually they touch, with appropriately disatrous consequences. Knowing that - slow down or don't turn so hard and you should stop it happening.

Should work fine with TrackIR as it's just interpreting the pointing as mouse clicks.

No, not the way you said it, I mean that given all the technology of the Ka-50's aiming and weapons computers, dropping bombs is best done by just leaning out of the window :D

Once they get the new engine, where trees offer proper cover then I'd play as a helicopter regularly.

haha, technical :D

Thanks, that clears everything up :)

Is the TrackClip Pro nothing more than the reflective frame and a boom mic combined into one so you don't have to wear the hat, or does it do anything a bit more clever?

Ah right. I can't see the picture as the host's blocked at work.

It's not a vintage fighter, it's a modern aerobatic aircraft :smilewink:

Even this one? :P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_Su-26

Why would they lose out on a sale? You still have to buy the English or the Russian version. I imagine they haven't assumed everyone will buy two copies.. :P
