Champion..... But the only difference between the Champion and Pro is that Champion has I/O module which is linked to the card to give you some quick access to several sound options.

I don't know about increase in FPS on X58 platform... On mine Gigabyte M59 Athlon 5200(2600MHz) during the dual affinity CPU game run the CPU load was between 70 and 90%... I only compared the FPS increase in the Battle mission - without SB X-Fi I was getting 10 FPS (in the initial view of the mission) ... then with the SB the FPS are 15... Now I overclocked the CPU to 2900MHz and I'm getting 20-22 FPS. Different platforms react different to the hardware changes. There are so many ways to do it, so everyone makes his own mind how to get more FPS.

Greets! Any ideas where I can get the helicopter system schematics (not the one on DCS site) like a view of the whole craft with the systems inside?

I've been landing and taking off from the fields without problem - though you need to keep in mind > NO ground roll after landing (gentle touch down and brakes to hold position)> NO ground roll before take off - brakes to hold position and gentle up on the collective and off you go......... Cheers :pilotfly:

YES!!! There is FPS increase. I red the forum and decided to go for a high end sound card (Creative SB X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty) two days ago. The result was amazing and unexpected>> I got 5-10 FPS increase, huge sound quality improvement, some ingame sound artifacts disappeared and as bottom line the general game satisfaction went up SO :thumbup: go ahead buy one (make sure that the card is actual HARDWARE ACCELERATOR) and don't forget to disable the onboard audio in the BIOS...

OK, so ther truth is THERE IS FPS increase! After this discussion yesterday I went to the shop and purchased Creative SB X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty (I said OK when it's a sound let it be the best :)) 1. Frame rate increase UP TO 10 (between 5 and 10 depending on the situation) 2. OK it doesn't sound like much but when you have 15 FPS during battle scenes adding 5 to that is making the movement almost smooth. 3. Additional gain - some of the ingame sound artifacts that I was hearing dissapeared while the general sound quality increased drasticaly (I could not believe) 4. The bug of the missing sounds when changing views is still there but obviously this is not a problem of the sound blaster (ED team we are waithing for a patch for this beautifull game) FINAL CONCLUSION - pilots with onboard sound - go and buy separate hardware accelerators - the atmosphere of the game changes for good :pilotfly:

ED TEAM >>> Do you think guys that putting a dedicated sound card (SB Audigy or something) in the rig clears the problem?? Currently I have onboard audio..

SO, if I install SB Audigy let's say in my rig, this will improve my FPS (and the in-game sounds as well) YES/NO??

O boy.... that is just great!!! :thumbup: HEY ED!! EXCELLENT JOB PEOPLE!!

When flying the sim BS at night over area with enemies do the external lights when ON (NAV lights, BEACON lights, LANDING light) attract them??

OK fair enough.... (I'll have to read my manual one more time hehe:book:) And still what is the REAL LIFE NIGHT TIME deployment of the Black Shark? If we want mo make this as real as it gets (no lables, PC monitor brightness up etc..) how to use the BS effectively at night (if possible at all of course)?...

Great!... the whole cockpit lighting was dimmed..that was fine Only the Shkval screen was so pitch black couldn't see a thing. Is there option Black on White / White on Black on this screen? And where to find the TV contrast/brightness buttons? Cheers :) ...

Even with tags ON the Shkval is blind and you can not properly target a thing.....

Greets to all! In my last night mission "ALERT!" in which you take off in the middle of the night under enemy fire I managed to scramble and go in the sky before the rebels make the heli swiss cheese. Now I'm hovering above the battle area Night Goggles on and ammo for guns only - well I discovered Shkval is as blind as me in the dark and targeting was impossible SO >>>> The question is: Whether you can use Ka-50 in NIGHT OPERATIONS or NOT??... If yes - HOW?...

So Vikhr racks can be tilted while the rocket pods can NOT? Does the hardpoint choice (Inner/Outer) effect this?

The file "nurs_table.lua" goes in the same forlder I guess YES/NO?

Right :D Then I guess I'll need either FRYING (current CPU) or BUYING (new one)... Intel you say....

Well what I'm getting now with this spec @ 1400*1050, water-medium and the rest high (+the affinity trick ON) is around 20 FPS during the take offs from busy airport for example and 50-60 FPS during quiet flight over the mountains... Still during battles the FPS are dropping sometimes to 15 which I don't particularly like (this is the time when you need most of your FPSes) I just came into consideration after reading the Tech forums that my MB is overclock friendly and the CPU can eat some more volts so I'll try and we'll see what FPS on top will be the gain.

In LockON you still need to trim (whatever there you are flying) especially when changing speed, dropping flaps, gear etc.... Otherwise you will ALWAYS have to use the joystick OFF the center position to be able to go wherever you are goin......:joystick: In BS the trim philosophy is different though the outcome is same - be able to fly the aircraft straight and level with HANDS OFF the stick

Greets! Does anyone running the game in SLI mode with high end cards e.g. nVidia GTX280? What is the performance you are getting? Do you think adding second card will improve the FPS or it's better to push the CPU with OC?

That is OK. Problem is fixed this way. I fix with "pause" BUT after that I start hearing the general sounds (engines, rotor, outside) with effect of being in a tunnel (modulation from one channel to the other as well). Fix for that coming in the patch I hope?

NEW MAPS NEW MAPS :) Middle east as sand Cuba or carribean as islands Kamchatka peninsula as polar >> All this + realistic meteo and you'll make me VERY happy:joystick:

Yes, there are some switches which don't do anything though they can be flipped. The question is do you realy need them working having in mind that all major systems operate and there are systems that you will rarely use (maybe never) and are operational too. The last FSX add-on is MD11 (my opinion - best so far for Flight Simulator) and even this sim has non operational switches. This doesn't change the actual experience.

I'm running the BS with Vista 32 and RAM=4 Gigs... After I started implementing the affinity to the second core in the system as well everything runs like baby

What is the compatibility issues betwen Vista and the Georgian Oil Wars campaign? On the first screen of the campaign I was greeted with WARNING - the campaign NOT compatible with Vista - XP owners only..... I played the first mission and there was no radio chatter at all - is this the problem or something even worse hides beneath?:joystick:
