After being in a mission for more than 15 minutes the cockpit sounds start to change a little - modulate and the engines sound like the noise is coming from a pipeline... I have some artifacts as well when changing the views / cockpit / map... Not that I'll die because of that but I would rather prefer not to have this strange sounding. Any ideas? Experience?

I would say that major part of the whole picture is the attention to the details. When flying a sim what is killing me is when looking outside of the aircraft to see a crappy view... Yesterday I flew one of my first missions in BS and even though I could not do the job, the enjoyment of the flying (as real as it gets on a desk) was great - few elements - The sunset over the mountains worth seeing... the red beacon light reflection on the Vikhr missiles... the shadows on the helicopters... the cockpit lighting...... the list goes on. So after many years dealing with simulators I will say the BS is the most realistic combat simulation for home computer ever made... GREAT JOB!

High speed and aggressive stick moves led to the same CRASH and BURN situation high over the mountains..... It appears that to be heli pilot is not an easy thing :joystick:

I have white line on the ground with open cockpit door on the LH side of the helicopter (paralel to the A/C) I can see the line only when the door is open and only during dark hours...

Greetings and congrats for the great sim.. Level of detail is amaizing. Though I run a high end machine with latest drivers, still when departing and arriving home airfields near major town I get FPS drop down to 8-10 which makes flying and landing in particular real pain (Compared with flying over mountains with FPS 30-40). Any ideas regarding some system tweaks that can improve the game running.
