I don't know of any helicopter crash, were the heli actually exploded. Why would it? Jet fuel can burn of course, but to explode you need a mixture of fuel and oxygen in a contained environment. Weapons will only explode if they are armed, or exposed to high temperature for long time. I think the explosions are more of a video game "feature" thing. :music_whistling: Once I tried to land a damaged Shark, I made a very smooth touchdown, but it exploded imedeatly when touching the ground. Reminds me of EECH a bit. :D

Well, I thik it would be even better to have enemy react on your presence and action. :megalol: Like looking for cover when being shot at...

Make sure you don't move. Apply wheel brakes. Sometimes you're rolling very slow, then groundcrew will not talk to you. :smartass:

Wow, looks amazing Batou! :thumbup: Looking forward to your terrain!

I think there are two different lasers used. One for range finding (used for targeting guns) and one to guide the missiles. If the missile laser burnes out it should be repaired when you fly back to base, shut down and wait for 3 minutes. :thumbup:

Nope. I already have the MD-11, A318-321, Concorde, ATR 42 and Dash 8 controls and procedures in there. :smartass: One more or less, who cares... :pilotfly: P.S. Yes, I am a nerd!

Jup, that's exactly what it does. :thumbup: You can do it manual to. Press trim button, come to hover, push left or right pedal so the chopper is not rotating anymore, release trim button, release peddals and stick. The god thing about the manual method is, it works even if there's strong wind. In strong wind conditions the 20% yaw authority of the AP may not be enough to maintain heading. In this case you may need to trim the rudder "against" the wind forces. :joystick:

Hehe, der war gut! :megalol:

Well, zeroed isn't always the way to go. :D When my chopper is tuning right, i press the trimm button, apply left rudder until the tuning stopps and then release the trim button. Don't look at the trim indicator, just trimm the chopper so flies the way you want it to. :joystick:

Localized versions available! Finally the patches for the locallized versions of BS hve been released! I must admit, that I felt kinda lonley in the last weeks in MP, cause there were very few (if any) servers still running the unpatched version. Seems like the multiplayer community is reunited. I'm looking forward to some kick a$$ sessions tonight! :D

Ah, sehr schön! Dann kann ich heute abend endlich wieder mit unseren englischsprachigen Kollegen fliegen. Hoffentlich finde ich jetzt wieder mehr spielbare Server. Danke an die Lokalisatoren! :D

Liegt es nich in der Natur einer Diskussion, dass sich jeder Teilnehmer die Fakten raussucht die zu seinem Standpunkt passen?!

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob es jemanden auszeichnet mit Zitaten anderer Leute umsich zu werfen, glaube aber nicht dass es die Diskussion weiterbringt. Andererseits; irgendwie muss man sich ja die Zeit vertreiben. :D

Absolutley! I always thought the longbow simulations feel somewhat arcadish! You magicly see all targets on your radar, have perfect IFF and can fire hellfires at multiple targets. :huh: Now, that may be realistic (don't know) but it's centenly not a challange (in my opinion ofcourse)!

Jup. Ich hätte es eigentlich wissen müssen. :doh: War ja schon bei Falcon 4.0 so, dass die deutsche version irgendwann nicht mehr gepatcht wurde. Dann musste ich mir sowiso noch die englische kaufen.

By the way: Am elegantesten währe es wenn der englische patch so konzipiert währe, dass er auch mit der deutschen Version funktioniert. Es gibt nähmlich sicherlich einige Leute (mich) denen es egal ist, ob die menüs, beschreibungen, briefings usw. auf deutsch oder englisch sind. Das währe zumindest für die übergangszeit bis die Lokalisierung fertig ist eine nette Lösung. :thumbup:

Machen sie ja auch nicht. Das wird nähmlich für mich entwickelt! :megalol:

Yeah I was hoping for SH 5 to be Cold War, but well... Let's hope for the Community Subsim to make good progress http://www.commanders-academy.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=87

I love the Dodosim Bell! :D Very expensive indeed, but the developers spent many hundret houres creating this bird and they got it right. I don't mind paying a bit more for real quality. That said, I would have payed twice the money for BS. Look at Steel Beasts, it goes for 130 Euros I think. That's a bit too expensive for my tase though. :P

Doch, ist möglich. :smilewink: Es gab jedenfalls mal eine mod "English Version Russian Language". Damit konnte man auch die deutsche version auf russische sprachausgabe umrüsten. Habe aber hier im modforum nix dazu gefunden und auf lockonfiles.com ist auch nichts zu sehen. Vielleicht gabs Probleme wegen copyright oder so, waren ja Audiofiles aus der russischen originalversion. Vielleicht hab ich auch nur nicht genug gesucht... :D

Wow, very intresting. Thanks for the video! Well, a third pary solution would be intresting, but I think that's a job for ED. Maby in the next patch? :D They have the code, so it would be best if the problem is solved directly by ED.

I'm using 4, cause 5 CTD's when trying to start it. :music_whistling:

It's not a software bug, it's a harware bug. :joystick: The EVO Force is just to weak to hold the stick were it should be when trimmed. And the centering spring always tries to center the stick so it's working against the FF motors too. The MS Sidewinder FF seems to be the only FF-Stick srong enough to hold the stick in position, when it's trimmed off center. I courious to see how the new FF HOTAS from Saitek and Logitech will handle this situation. If Saitel sticks with the physical centering spring, I see no joy... :pilotfly:

A merge of LOMAC and DCS would be awsome! An then release the tools necessary to create clickable cockpits to the community. :D

Right, but to get out you need to gain horizontal velocity, not just apply more power. :smartass: To avoid this situation don'n exeed 5 VS when going slow.
