Hi Guys, Just got the new SST program, and I must say a BIG improvement from the previous versions. Here is a shot of the main page. How ever I am still having problems even with this newer version. I want to use the CLUTCH button on the throttle now when trying to map a key command in the game it's not recognized, so I thought OK lets try at do it from with the SST program, making sure that no stick command was applied in the game, so the SST would be working independently. OK Keyed in the command in SST, activated it, started up BS once in the cockpit and all fired up got the same as before the dreaded " WE ARE SORRY FOR THE ETC ETC". Another nice addon in the SST is the test window you get so that you can test the key command before going into the game. Timm

Hi Guys, Sorry for being a pain in the Butt, but I would like to ask a couple of questions regarding the paint kit and the finished item. OK in the paint kit I have 10 files (see shot 1) now I have both PS7 and PS X PRO, now you will notice that one file is in PS7 format this is because that this opened up OK in 7 were as all the rest had an error when opening in 7 but fine in 10. Question 1 : What are all these files for ? now looking at the first 5 paints they seem to have something to do with the rotor mast YES ? and the second batch are the aircraft's textures - YES. (what does LRM mean ?) Question 2 : So how do you go from 10 paint kit texture to 1 or sometimes 6 (shot 2 & 3). Kind regards to all : Timm

Hi Guys, Thanks for the help, got the download, just need to find out how what all these various paint folders are and what they do. Timm

Hi, Thanks for getting back molevitch That's the program I am trying to find but with no joy at all. any clues in were I can get it. Timm

Hi, Hey crazyD, it's a shame that no one has come back on this topic. I'm in the same boat, see all these paint texture, fine add some paint here and there, but what next. I did a lot of re-paints for FS9 using the paint kits that came with some of the aircraft, there you just did the paint, saved as a Bitmap and then put through DXTbmp, converted it to the texture format, but these one's are all new to me. So come Guys put some help here please, because I bet theres some good paints out there just waiting to get started. Timm

Hi Bud, Thanks for getting back on this, OK in the paint kit there are a whole lot of templates, just need to know what part they do play etc and when painted how to you get from the basic paint templates to the finishes item. Timm

Hi Guys, Need some info please, and I'm sorry if this has been brought up before. I am very interested in having a go at doing some textures for the BS but looking at all the templates I'm a bit lost in how you go about in getting to what you painters get to. Question : Is there a tutorial out there in helping to do a texture ? Timm

Hi Cobra, I have been keeping an eye out on this post for some time now, because these are great looking textures. I hope we don't have to wait to long in seeing them. Timm

Hi Guys, I have the X52 Pro and I have tried using the SST program along with the game setup, but found that If I use the two together I get a "Sorry we have had to close etc etc any un-saved will be lost" window and the game crashes and puts us back to the main setup screen, so all my key commands are done via the game. Timm

Thanks for some awesome sounds. I like the cockpit sounds I fly a lot with head phones and this just sounds great. Now just small question :What sounds would the pilot hear with his helmet on, OK I know he would hear the various radio sounds but what about the aircraft sounds, what would he hear ? Timm

Hi Paul. Thanks for that but for some reason has not changed anything. Here is a shot with the new lights in and as you can see being picked up on the truck. To me this just does not look right. Timm

Hi Guys, Where can I find this file ? Frederf I have not tried that mod so I will give that a try first. Timm

Hi Guys, Question please, I notice that when I switch on the anti-collision beacon light the beam shows up on all surrounding vehicles/buildings etc, is there any way this could be turned down abit ? Don't get me wrong but the beam under the aircraft is awesome, it's just that I feel the reflection beam is a bit strong. I think this shot explains what I am trying to say. Timm

Hi Paul, That's correct. I don't know if you have this but if you click here there's a nice new texture mod for the UB-13 122mm Rocket Pods. Timm

Hi Paul, Answers to your questions: 1. NO - I can't get a target lock on them anyway. 2. NO - They are sods to take out - I use the APU-6 missile on them (3) 3. YES - But very tight on your ammo don't waste rounds. Timm

Hi Guys, greywolf134, Moving truck ? Oh I have seen that but thought it was just part of the scenery and let him drive on, well he's dead meat then. DTWD when in the game just press the @ key on key board and you will get a small window giving your mission % rate. Timm

Hi Guys, Just a small topic. I have been a Flight Simmer for many many years now, mainly flying Helicopters, had MSFS 95, MSFS 2004, and then MSFS X, which I installed and took out straight away like a lot of other simmers and reverted back to FS9. Then I got wind of a new Flightsim on the horizon called "BLACKSHARK" I thought hey this looks awesome, so I kept an eye out on the site to what the latest news was and when it was going to hit the shelves. Well as we all know it came along last year and what a sim. So DCS you have done what know one has done before after all these years of flight simming and that's put flight simming into another league. I have not touched FS9 since, in fact un-installed it, got both FS9 AND 10 along with the addon pack in a box never to see the light again. As to the attention detail of BLACKSHARK this out strips any thing that MS can give us. So to all at DCS I THANK YOU for one of the best flight sims out there. Timm

Hi Guys, First off, Thanks VV for an excellent skin for this beast. Just one question is it possible to add a number to the side ? I can change the various numbers with the default skins but not yours. Any suggestions. Timm

Hi Guys, Need help here please regarding completing a mission. I have been flying the "Firing Range" mission a few times, followed the waypoints to the map, taken out all vehicles on the range including the 2/3 bunkers, and when all done there I am only getting 71% complete, nothing else to take out so I head back to base. Land and see that the % rate goes up to 81%, I have done this mission a couple of times and always finish of at 81% never 100%. Any clues please in what I am missing or failing to do ? Timm

Hi Bud, First of, what software are your using for your stick ? Go over to Saitek site and get the latest drivers along with the SST drivers. Now the flashing light you see is the clutch light,which is fire button i on the throttle and when pressed you will get the main POV hat flashing, telling you that you are pressing the clutch button. (I have all my lights turned off in the control panel.) Open up your control panel (right click the stick icon) and have a look at what LED's are turned ON/OFF. Now for the clicking thats a new one on me, the only click sound I get if you call it a click is from the two fire buttons on the stick buttons A & B. Timm

Hi forlorn, Thanks for that, I had a feeling that was the reason. Timm

Hi Guys, I used when flying in MS Flightsim 9 and what a difference it made. made everything much sharper. So I'm just asking if anyone else has used this program to enhance the graphics within this game. Timm

Hi Guys, Info please. I thought I would fly over to the Firing range with some different weapons attached, Question I can bring up the The two sets of APU-6 Missiles on the outer wing pods along with the UPK-23 Cannon, but can anyone tell be how I can get the B-13L rockets to show up on the fire control panel. ? Timm

Hi Guys, Just wondering if any one out there uses this little program it's called nHancer and is designed for those using Nvidia graphic cards. When using this you can tweak up the game graphics etc IE get rid of those nasty jaggies you see on the edges of building etc. I am in the process in doing a profile for BS. If anyone has got a profile could you give me any tips etc. Timm

Hi VikVaughan, I got it sorted. I went and had a look in MODMAN took out all the new texture folders and re-started MM and hey presto all working. And now I can see your great texture. Just one very small question please and this is not knocking your awesome texture in fact it's just an info one ? On the top of the tail that black line what ever it is is there a way it could be remove. Timm
