Ahhh I knew I had seen it somewhere before..... http://www.leftside-limited.com/ or check this thread... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=33552

...or wait for the new engine :)

No idea of what pedals he is using. That motion platform is ubber expensive tho. If you are interested in building what I think would be a better and cheaper one look at some home made stuff. Check this out... Once you start looking there is a huge array of info and a whole community online that builds stuff that make that stuff in your link look decidedly povo ;P

Actually Draco reminded me of something else I did. In one of my custom "free flight" missions I had the turbulence and wind speed right up. On shutdown when the rotor rpm dropped way way down (Turbines were off, rotors were just about spun down) the blades collided and ripped themselves off. Centripetal force does seem to effect the blades as it would in real life, lol I love this sim:thumbup:

Open up with the gun and you can go down to the ground and find all the spent casings.

It doesn't seem to be very happy with you pulling over 3g "air wolf" maneuvers either ;)

At this place.... http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us ....I had no problems selecting an 8800gt and an xp operating system and getting drivers for it.

Maybe add a random real life stupid factor as well. For example drive up, attempt to hook up fuel, spill fuel, curse, hook fuel line up eventually, lite a smoke.:megalol:

You are correct, I have seen this posted before. Possibly I have read it within the last 2 weeks? It was responded to and confirmed as a bug but it was also said that they may implement it as a feature. What deviletk said is word, can't go wrong.:thumbup:

The water of doom is mentioned in the bug forums.... Short answer is that the water is a limitation of the present engine and nothing much that can be done about it. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=34128

Heh same here, I have never had a crash and because I have never had a crash I never noticed. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I have noticed the if you... A: land on a building and let one wheel roll off the edge... or B: land on a building and have a wheel over the edge.... the the offending wheel will instantly appear back in the fully retracted position, tho the covers remain open. That particular bit of gear is then broken seemingly permanently. Raising and lowering makes the covers do the cycle but the gear stays up.

Yeah I like it, get the rotor hub inside the cockpit and there seems to be red fluid on the windows. Hydraulics perhaps? :D

Your linkage is fubar JimMack :)

Thanks DanKurt. Tried that way, also tried running BS, tabbing out, selecting dcs.exe in the left hand window and "adding to fav", selecting both cores with still no luck. Every time I started the game it would go back to 1 core. I just done what I should have done ages ago, rebooted. Works great now:doh:

Tried that, actually tried both for the hell of it (Prifinity and Affinity II). However it says it is set but is in fact not set. Fraps and task manager say otherwise unless I manually turn it on thus defeating the purpose. Well at least on my system. Seems pretty straight forward so I can't see what I would be doing wrong so all I can say is "you lucky lucky bastard" :)

lol No, that is a throttle for the 2 engines, if the rotor sets start spinning at different speeds then you may want to quickly read the PDF and find out how to eject :) The collective controls how much pitch is on the blades or how much bite they put into the air is another way to look at it. When you pull on the collective the pitch of the blades increase and they push more air. That brings us to the throttle. Because the pitch has increased and the blades are pushing more air then more power is required so more throttle is added. If you were in small helicopter (say a robison or something) then the collective has a pitch and a throttle that must both be used. However BS is a military helicopter so the throttle is automatic so basically don't worry about the throttle, just the pitch. More important things to worry about then throttles it seems :D EDIT: Except with startup as stated above then you would use throttle. Fairly obvious I prefer the winkey+home cheat :) np

Hmmmm it is debatable what will happen. Some people say the developers were good with other sims and their activations running out and helped the individual but who knows. I don't think anyone has burned all 3 yet with BS. It would be good if they did but honestly I knew there was only 3 activations when I bought it, it was cheap so meh. I am hopeing the western dvd box will not have such crummy limits as I have learned first hand how easy it is to smoke an activation while doing nothing underhanded.

Ahhh vortex ring state.. The beginnings of training, went something like... WTF What the hell happened there. Oooooooh Ahhh crap again. Oooh jeeze. Woot I got out of that one. lolz this sim rocks but I must remember not to do that..... ...and then eventually you don't see them again... well not for a while at any rate :)

I would be careful doing that Slayer, I burned an activation just using a tool that was meant to set affinity (ImageCFG) so poking around in the exe would surely do the same...? Anyway I downloaded PriFinitty from the link above and tried it out (And risked another activation I suppose as well) I am running vista 32 sp1. While it seems to work in the fact that I can set it as a favourite and set it to use 01 it does in fact go to 0 every bloody time thus forcing me to tab out and tell PriFinitty to go 01.... kinda defeats the purpose tho. So for me it doesn't actualy work even tho it does seem to be ready to work.... tis a lie fraps tells me straight away :) One thing of interest I did notice, when DCS.exe starts up it is 01 and stays that way for a bit, as the thing progresses into the loading it bombs back to 0.... Oh man that is irritating :huh:

The tripple head has some interesting software with it. I forget it's name but basically what it does is "cut off" some of the image. So instead of the image being displayed across 3 monitors and 2 inches if bezel stuffing the alignment up it hides some of the image so it looks like you are looking out 3 windows and some of the seen is naturaly lost behind the "window frame". I was putting a lot of thought into this because add this to track IR and then things are beginning to look really good but I came across one show stopper for me. The graphics hardware and related hardware to run it is at the moment not something I want to spend my cash on atm. 3 x 1680 x 1050..... ouch. Unless you cut the resolution and graphics settings right down but that would defeat the whole purpose of the thing. But man I am so tempted :D

Heh it is amazing what kind of rats crawl out from behind places when there is a winna chopper sim to play with ;) hiya o/

Heh all I did was try a program that was meant to automatically turn on affinity to burn one of mine... yah that hurt :)

I have seen some video's..... awesome stuff and I hope I can make it.

Yeah I have damn them, that will teach me for flying high enough for them to get me again wont it, lucky shot yanks :doh:
