For some reason my TrackIr4 Pro isn't working. I have it and the game list updated. I run the 64 bit version of the new sim. Both Black Shark and DCS Warthog have the same Default profile selected... I remember it was not supported at the time of Beta but I would assume Natual Point have done their homework by now.

I thought they are not using depleted uranium any more... Apparently, it was not humane...

Are the Russians taking over the Virtual Skies of all eras? ;D Rise Of Flight 777 Studios (ex- Neoqb) www.riseofflight.com Storm Of War - Battle of Britain 1C: Maddox Games (no Official Website yet) Digital Combat Simulator Eagle Dynamics www.digitalcombatsimulator.com Keep up the Great Work!!!

It worked kylania - much obliged!

Very interesting kylania! Where is the "START IN" line located?

The whole Win7 profile I'm in is Administrator...

Which file starts the Sim?! I deleted my Start Menu DCS folder and I cannot launch it anymore. I keep on getting errors trying to execute *\DCS Warthog\bin\x86\launcher.exe... The error says: can't open '.\MissionEditor\MissionEditor.lua' Why is that? - I haven't fiddled with any other files!

Well, I'm not sure how it worked in LOMAC 2.0 or BS but in Warthog the .trk file is loaded as if you were to watch it and since I want it to be rendered in a res higher than my desktop - it crashes...

Hmm, I tried using the in-game .AVI renderer but it crashes when I choose a resolution that is larger than my max monitor res (I should have known - it's obvious..). Any ideas on how to do this "outside" the game??? :cry:

Ooooo, that's a brilliant idea! I'll look it up! Thanks!

I thought so... :/ Thank you.

I was wondering if it was possible to be able to grab a screenshot larger than the screen resolution... :huh: My monitor goes only up to 1680x1050 but I'd like to acquire an in-game screenshot of say 3200x whatever... I know its a LOOOONG shot but perhaps there is a 3rd party software that could do this... :helpsmilie:

Beta 2, Nelis, First Take off, Clear Pylons, Nosewheel ripped off...

Guys, I've tried that Orbit Downloader and it does magic! Shows 1,5 hours from first HTTP!!! Many thanks rjaberg!

Whoooooo!!! Beta 2!!! :D 22hrs on torrents.... :/ :o :'( Anyhooo, that's probably thanks to the BELOVED BT (British Telecom?) that capes torrent downloads from 17 to 00 down to 32 kb/sec... (?) F*****s

Yes, that's how the nose wheel gets ripped off on my track. Loud BAM and the nose goes "vertical"... :) Must be the "Taliban micro-explosives" planted in my nose landing gear... Bastards...

Well, I've only been REALLY flying over Nevada so far. I had a few flights over Main Theater but not as many as over USA so I guess it's just Groom and Nellis AFB for me...

This may be the case as the wheels seem to withstnad e.g. an emergency landing on a road (which is more bumpy than the airstrip) but tend to fail on proper airfields. It may well be how the surface is "interpreted" by the wheels at highter/certain speeds...

Yeah but the same 30,000lbs is bouncing even harder against the strip with speeds of ~120kts+ at touch down... and it doesn't break off...

I think this may be a bit bugged... I am quite sure at the moment that my error was in trying to pitch up the nose wheel to early (even at speeds of 75 - 80 kts). The nose wheel would then SLIGHTLY bounce every now and then (really gently but still... bounce) and would break in the end. Now, I believe this shouldn't happen because the bouncing is soft and nowhere near the forces present at touch downs. The gear should not get ripped off IMO. Yes - my mistake is "early pitching"/trying to rotate. No - the nose wheel should sustain such small bouncing and remain intact. What do you think?

I had similar problems a couple of times. I even had my main gear (one side at a time) ripped off the same way as nose wheel on my track. It is VERY strange because the total weight on the track video was only ~86% (!) Regarding the stick being yanked - the pull was gentle but "deep" :) I pulled it ~3/4 of the way but started pulling just after reaching 85 kts and were doing it really gently. This happens quite often to me - once every 4 take offs with various ordnance and weight but I never froget about switching NWS nor I overload the aircraft. I also try to keep my stick movement as smooth as I can and make sure I start rotating before reaching 100 kts (even though such speeds should NOT damage the nose wheel either). I will not mention that I keep my Anti Skid On... This is really strange as not many others seem to have such problem so often. I don't think this happens to me due to wrong piloting... :/ Hmmm...

Well, I posted about this before but the trials I performed took place on the second airfield (Groom) in Nevada and because it is quite bumpy I blamed that for it. Have a look at my track and tell me why my nose wheel gets ripped off at 105 knots even though my NWS is off and all I'm doing is GENTLY pulling the stick...? C**p rockets test BTW... ;P Sorry for those two Mi-8s taking off - my Dad used to fly them for 27 years and I'm a bit sentimental about them as well. Just FF till I try to take off... Thanks! Test.trk

Thanks for clearing it out! That's exactly what was happening. The lower I was getting the slower I was going (according to HUD)... After a full stop I ended up with sppeds of 123 knots :D

If you mean that it's hard to aim the Mav seeker try lowering the Slew Speed/Ratio/Sensivity to 1 and you'll be fine.

deltatango - it turned out to be a random Pitot Heat Failure (!). Check if you have not had the same OR if you have switched your Pitot Heat before take off. Arclight - thanks! Just as I thought - my fault entirely... ;)
