I think everybody here feels old.

My first "computer" was the ZX spectrum with the rubber keyboard. Firmware: 3.54 MHz Zilog Z80A CPU 16K / 48K RAM (later 128K RAM) Display: 32 x 22 character text display 256 x 192 pixel resolution 8 colours Then came the 8086 which I later upgraded to 8087. Then windows 3.1 on a 80286 etc. etc.

I have been practicing over and over locking targets at 100+ kmh flying low. Before this I got shot down too many times by those nasty tanks. Normally I fly past target area at approx 5 ~ 6 km from center. Any SAM launches should be easy avoidable at that range. Then I position myself at 03.00 from target at approx. 8 km. Then I work my way closer to the battlefield (slowly). I still hate those man held stingers, hard to spot and they also come as a surprise.

There is no dedicated server solution yet. ED is working on it though.

Modman is not yet compatible with BS. As for water setting i believe you can change it: .../config/graphics.cfg look for water quality. Change it to 0 Good luck

I understand how this works except for the clicking the buttons part. How does the clicking of the switches work with the infrared.

I am looking for a online squad for DCS series for the EST timezone. I also have LO:FC but I am rusty with that one. Prefer playing around 09.00 pm EST. Please send email to baksie@comcast.net Thanks Baksie

Right rudder at higher speed will cause similar effect. I used to fly at 250+ kmh and several rotor crashes. Now flying at 200+ I rarely have this happen. At 280 kmh use very gentle cyclic, collective and rudder.

Link ???

look in the temp folder. They are called "client ...... miz" (dots are date and time i believe) Open them in the editor and then save as so that you can host same mp mission. Good luck Baksie

Can you explain a bit more about this setup! Looks really nice. Baksie

Meer nederlandse taal dan verwacht hier.

Thanks will try that. Never thought of holding "O" key :)

What is the best air to air procedure. I got my first online a-a kill yesterday but was really struggling getting initial lock. Any ideas ?

I am looking for real russian and Nato Surface to Air missile launch pictures. Reason is that I believe that the in game launches are hard to spot.

I use ctrl f12 and ctrl f9

hold your trim while you manouver. release when done. I normally center stick let go of trim and then retrim.

That is the screenshot key per default. Do you have multi monitor setup? or a none standard resolution ?

How do I set up a couple of S25 to light up the sky at night I have tried this with simple a couple of enemy trucks. Assign it as targets, made waypoint long enough so they can line up. Any help is appreciated. Baksie

I had to re-install BS-EN two days ago. I de-activated it. During reinstallation it did not even ask for serial number. So I do not have an issue with the activations.

Here's how I fly normally. Autopilot on with Bank, pitch and heading. (prefer not to use alt hold). Flying to waypoint etc? with "R" Route mode. With manouvers I hold trim until manouver is complete and then release it. recenter stick and retrim. Shark will fly perfect again. Note: make sure you note your rudder input, since trimmer works for rudder too.

Make sure to assign all axis and buttons for "Game mode" as well as "Real mode" Baksie

Solved my problem by re-installing BS. Everything works fine now.
