which would explain why a salvo of rockets did the job, but a single viker wouldn't..... thanks for the input ? Any more thoughts from anyone on this ?

Perhaps it is a finger problem on my part but here goes. I created a simple mission the other day for multiplayer and added a few "Static Objects" such as a few bombers and transport planes sitting on the ramp. When i took off in the mission i made my way to them, and destroyed them. Fine. After a few more additions to the map, and testing it again, i now find that those same bombers, are now invincible. Why would the static aircraft not take damage and explode ?? should i hit "Prepare Mission" from the pull down menu in the editor, when i'm done making my map? as is says in the manual that doing so set's up certain perameters. :book: Thanks.

I can confirm that something happens with the veiws, and you end up loosing the sound of the cannon, from the cockpit. The sound is incredible though, and stable. I've also noticed that just as i am about to explode "From a sam let's say", the sim hangs for a split second, causing a delay in the explosion.

practice just going a few feet off the ground to start. Map your Trim button, and trim reset button to your joystick. Once you get some forward speed going, and your level, hit the trim button and let go of the stick... the Shark will adjust itself and become steady. If you get messed up, hit Trim reset. TRIM IS GOD

Ok as far as combat flight simulator's go, this take's the cake. Every unit i added i made them "Excellent" as skil level, and had a few Humvee's spread out all up the coastline. the Humvee's opened up on me with .50 rounds and SAM's..... You can fire missiles from far away, or you can go straight at em, at 180 kts....... drop 4, 500kg bombs or whatever you decide to load up......:joystick: having up to 5 different weapons fired at you at once by the ai ................... that is the point of this game, that is outstanding... ............. Thanks ED, for a truely life-like sim, both aircraft and weapon's wise....:book:

Okay so all of you......ex or current flaming cliff's pilot's have seen the black shark in action ? First of all.... we have to thank ED for the origional...outstanding/ground breaking Lock-On:modern Air Combat sim............... and the subsequent Eagle Dynamic's Standalone, DCS:BLACK SHARK . !!!! Outstanding ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Some pictures are attached to show you just how ahead of it's time, DCS:Black Shark is.... Enjoy

"stealth apachi" the boys call it on the server...lol... it's pretty hard to see when it's flying...

Black shark is like haveing an ATV, but that can fly. It's a pleasure to fly.

I will double check things when i get home from work. Question though... How come when you create a new mission, and pick your coallitions.... the the icons on the left of the editor are greyed out ?? Anyone ?

Quick question. I created a server map... with a few sharks... on my coallition i have RUS and USA on the same side.... same team. When i start the server, and try to fly my shark to the US Carrier... well, i am met with a wall of tracer fire from the CIWS. Why are the blue ships attacking me, even though we are on the same side ? Thoughts ?:book:

I bought the russian version jewel case... but i'm in North america... and i was loaded drunk when i bought game on line on Qpig, and i selected meathod of transport.... "Train" :cry: who knows if it will make it to me.... good thing i bought the downloadable version first. I am scared of the whole limited activation thing, that's why i went for the hard copy russian version... Deleivery.... "Train" got i am stupid i forgot about oceans...lo0l:lol:

task manager showed no network activity, when hosting with my Dlink router. Ports were forwarded, windows firewall was turnned off. Very strange... but i bite the bullett and host with a direct connection, bypassing router... I would like to use router but if i can't i can't. Soon as i hit start.......... network activity ceases.

So, Does black shark run the best on windows vista64, or window xp pro. 32 bit ... ??

:book: i was also wondering this... my router ip aslo shows up in the window.. instead of my real ip. Maverick-GER, keep us posted on what happens, and if you want to troubleshoot each others servers, pm me...:book:

Start the game, alt-tab out, hit ctrl-alt-del to start windows task manager, R-click on DCS in applications and select "go to process", R-click again on DCS.exe to then select "set affinity", Select all your CPUs and click ok. Done!

Amraam, Can you or someone else, post the steps on how to change affinity to 2 cpu's, for both Vista and Xp 32 bit ? Thank you , i'm eager to try this....

its so annoying... the screen going dark... and you have to deal with being stopped in your tracks I HATE UAC in vista.. !

perhaps in a patch down the road

It depends, yes you will get warning of over-speed, but are you over-tourquing the rotor at the same time? I got it to 340km ish in dive, with overspeed warning but not over-tourquing... so no damage occured. :)

same, flight manual, bit by bit over next 2 days :)

yes, page is not working will try later

repent do you know effects of what is lost when haze turned to zero?

I fly by seat of pants

Ok i get you now. create new mission with editor. name file and save to muliplayer folder. Add a shark over the airport on map (If Icons on left greyed out just hit preview mission, map will load up, you exit back and icons light up... i do not know why this is case)and select him as client, take off from parking. To now you want to add you frinds.? ok so now you create second shark, take off from parking, have him select as client. You don't have to select any of sharks as PLAYER. Now.. you go to mulitplayer, set your number of players select your mission you created, your server should start, and only 2 people can join.. becuase you create only 2 sharks. "you can pick weapons and skin for each in payload menu, for each shark you create." Don't add more to your flight because that don't work, you need to create brand new shark for each player from the net. I host big game on net from this meathod (i created 10 sharks) for my map, and everyone could join with shark, power off on ramp. I hope this help you .
