Thanks for the Christmas present Chizh. Will certainly be buying this one also when it comes out. Happy flying!

Sorry I think I was unclear in my post, I was actually recommending the use of the engine power gauge not the EGT gauge. You are of course totally correct that the EGT is useless due to the small changes in it's readings.

Hey ryuzu, like I said I could well be wrong but I don't think the rotor pitch is useful in this respect as it is purely a product of how much collective you are pulling. It doesn't take in to account airspeed, pitch, roll, altitude, temperature, engine state etc etc.

Hi People, Sorry Press but I don't think thats what Bradmick is looking for as the rotor pitch will remain constant no matter how much effective power the engine is producing. Now keeping in mind I'm a PPL pilot and as such have no real world experience with a machine this complex I think you are after either the EGT gauges on the right of the front panel or the engine power indicators on the wall panel. Neither of these will be exactly what you are used to but I think the engine power indicator is as close as you will get to a torque indicator. It actually measures air pressure at the compressor outlet but that should be a good gauge of the power being produced. The only problem with it compared with a torque readout on an Apache is the scale is a little hard to read accurately. Still should do the trick.

I've not done it myself but I have fired many a KH25 ingame and this is how I would imagine it would work. Designating aircraft Turn laser to standby Switch laser mode to designator Uncage Shkval Ground stabilise and point at your target then press designate once more, your laser should now be on and you will get a countdown on the HUD. Engaging aircraft Leave laser in off position Master arm on Select kh25 Switch from auto to manual on weapons panel You should now have launch authorisation Fire!! Now of course this could all be nonesense as I haven't tried but if I had to guess then this is how I imagine it would work. Furthermore I would expect there to be angular limits to the visibility of the laser spot and other launch parameters I don't even know about. Of course none of this will work with Vikhr as it's a beam rider as mentioned many times before.
