Danke für die Antwort, Jong! :-) Also nehme ich mal an das es mit Auflösung herunterfahren nicht getan sein wird...?! Was solls, in der Stuka gabs früher auch nur ein Fenster im Boden zur Zielsuche!:lol:

Hi Freunde... Da haut ED mal einen Kracher raus und schon bin ich wieder hier! :music_whistling: Sehr gelungen das Teil, wie ich finde! Hoffe doch sehr das sich die Arbeit für die Entwickler ordentlich auszahlt damit wir nicht mehr all zu lange warten müssen um mal zu zweit einen Rundflug im AH-64 machen zu können:pilotfly: Zur Frage: Habe gestern das erste mal in FC 2.0 die SU-25T bestiegen. Sobald ich den wunderschönen Fernseher zur Rechten anschalte und den Boden observiere, gibts übelste Ruckler. Kann mich daran erinnern das FC 1 dieses Problem vor dem erstem Patch auch mal hatte. . . Hab bis jetzt noch nicht versucht die (Cockpit)Bildschirmauflösung auf 256 herunter zu stellen. (Gesamt)Auflösung ist derzeit 1024x768. Alle anderen Einstellungen bis auf Wasser sind auf HIGH. Hab die Frames noch nicht überprüft, aber ansonsten läuft das Spiel sehr geschmeidig! Die A-10 hat dieses Problem zum Beispiel nicht, wenn man mit einer Maverick Blechbüchsen am Boden sucht... Graka ist eine GeForce 275GTX!

Oh man, Your stuff achieved to hide from me a long time:( But I have to admit that I was out of flying business until BS FINALLY arrived! So damn cool! Only a guy who flies himself can transform such great ideas into reality. And hey guys, how could you ask for something like blueprints? With such inovative ideas and so much technical skill, this guy deserves to earn some cash! I can imagine that some bigger company might get attentive to your work soon. If thats not already the case! I just ordered the cougar and the saitek pedals. I think I will contact you to get such an extension, at first:thumbup: Would love to place the Stick on the ground.

Any helicopter with a two seat cockpit would be great, as I said in another thread..! I think a NATO chopper is the best enhancement for the DCS world. Cant explain myself why they wanna make the A10 the second release. If it must be a plane, than it would be nice to call the fixed wing birds, while observing the enemy from a hovering position. But no matter what will be the next release, I hope it wont take long! :thumbup:

If youre in AUTOHOVER: deactivate the auto-function, kick the pedals to your desired heading and reactivate it! The Auto-Hover Function tries to keep the aircraft hovering in its current postition. THAT INCLUDES THE HEADING! The auto-turn-to target works! it never turned me away from my target, but: If the helicopter has such a feature, why does it not really get the target right in front of the helicopters nose??? I mean in a hover this function should be able to turn as long as your Vikhr Symbol is placed over the target and youre able to fire. You always have to turn by yourself a little bit...

As long as you are maneuvering, hold the trimmer down. Release it as you reach your desired altitude/direction/speed AND the helicopter is NOT CHANGING his flight position at the moment. As some guys above said, it can result in real hard touchdown, to release the trimmer in a moment you better should not. For this case its important to have the "center trim" on a stick key. But be ready to push the stick down fast, when centering the trim. If you do not compensate the nose raising in a fast flight, it can result in a rotor clash! In my first days flying the Ka-50, I used the FD too. But only until I understood how the trimmer hast to be used. After that I never used it again. Right now Im using the older Saiteks. Trimmer button is on the "Pinky Switch". So very comfortable to hold it down while flying. KEEP in MIND: That the AP's try to "fix" the helicopters movement on the last trimmed point. During a manual hover the heli will spin back if you kick the pedal without holding down the trim! When using the autohover, deactivate it, turn in the desired direction and reactivate it. I think I mentioned the most important considerations which helped me a lot in the past!

Everything with a two seat cockpit would be great!!!!!! Would like an AH-64 as much as a Tornado, F-15 Strike Eagle or Blackhawk. Hey, what about an OH-58 Kiowa? Or a Tiger, for the German community? :-) After all, I think a NATO rotary wing aircraft would be the best follower and opponent for the KA-50!

anyway, Before the release of BS I was sure there will be a lot of bugs and MP Mode wouldnt be playable at the beginning. But to see that such probblems occur, only for paying customers... JUST ISNT ACEPPTABLE!!! I would support everything to pay the producers for their great work! And when this means to pay a little more for that game.... no problem. 40 bugs is a little cheap, I think. Every dirty XBox / singstar / WII crap game costs even more. Correct me if Im wrong.

sorry for my language mates...:doh: THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED!!! He had to reinstall his system. After reinstalling windows and BS he did the normal activation. Run the game and everythings fine. Now he has 2 activations left.:thumbup: Right now I think this way of selling BS, first online via download, is a brilliant way of making more money. Im going to catch up the boxed version of BS (and any other following DCS modul) anyway. And my mate too. But I have to say once more: THE PRODUCERS SHOULD ASK THEMSELVES WHEATHER THIS ACTIVATION/REACTIVATION CRAP COULD RESULT IN MORE ILLEGAL DOWNLAODS CAUSE OFF OCCURING PROBLEMS AFTER INSTALLATION OF A PAYED VERSION!!!!!!!!!!! Just a little criticism from a guy who cant get enough of this greates flightsim ever created!:D

Hello there. Im really ****ed up right now. Want to fly the BS online with a friend. After a really hard struggle to get someone with a creditcard we installed the game, activated it and always the same message occurs when starting a replay for example: DCS.exe was changed, Virus, bla bla bla... Already tried to activate manually. **** we baught the DL today and have only 3 activations left. You can imagine that we tried nearly everything. One more info: A few days ago I tried to deactivate my version and installed it on his gaming laptop, just to see weather its running and how the performance is like. After realizing how this mother****ing shit works, we canceled to do so. I ask myself why ED tries to prevent paying customers from playing?!?!!??! Starforce update etc does not seem to be the problem. The Activation looks good. No error messages. Only after trying to launch a flight.... So, plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever attempt to hover with full weapon payload after the loss of one engine??? You'll see that you can hold the bird in the air while moving, but in a hover you will constantly loose altitude until touching the ground! Another fact: If you are decelarating until hovering you have to increase the collective. And more collective means more engine charge! Sure it isnt more than during climbing or accelerating. Thats what Physics are all about:smilewink:

But during hover you need a lot of engine power. . . The hole helicopter weight lifted against gravity only by the vertical force created by the engines. By the way, I guess the gases exhausted by the engines should be hot enough, even in idle. Correct me if Im wrong. Never observed the gas temperature indicator during flights. But first of all: Why does EKRAN keep ****ing me up when the Anti-Ice System should be runnin!?!?

I just tried to fly during cold conditions. (-2°C/Snow) I switch on the Rotor Anti Ice System. The Switch is in upper Position. (Overhead-Panel shows its activated) But EKRAN keeps telling me to switch on the Rotor Anti Ice!!! Bug? So, yesterday I was engaging some US Army Redskins. And at round about 270 kph in NOE Flight one Engine failed. Was very hard for me to keep the bird in the air and disengage those apaches. I didnt hear any bullet impacts and no enemy was in a position to shoot me at this time. The heliopter showed no damadges. Rotor Anti ICE / Engine Anti ICE are activated from startup, am I right? And for the engines you HAVE TO CHOOSE between Dust Protect or ANti ICE.... right? Wish you all a WHITE BATTLEFIELD... and of course marry christmas:)

If this really isnt possible in real life, THAT would be a cheat I like to use!

Hey, just found out that its possible to create new payloads in the editor. GREAT! But Im not able to use lets say a cannonpod on one side and a rocketpod on the other one. A asymetric paylod selection results in the fact that I only can use one of them. Mostly the Gunpod.. Also tried Vikhrs/Bomb. After I released the Bomb I was able to use the missiles. Anybody knows the answer!?:helpsmilie:

ah, so the Shkval has to be caged when erasing points? ok. Ill try it. THX

Is anybody able to manually erase self set Target Points / Ingress Points? Works fine in the Training. But if I take the controls, it wont! Iam able to let those blue symbols flash, but an Ingress Point is only erased if I set 4 new Points, so the last one will disappear. Another thing is that the wingmen just "dont like" some points and deny the flight to those loations. Anybody knows the reason for this???

THX 4 your answer... Iam an old IL2 Fan. I KNOW WHAT CALCULATING LEAD means ;-) Iam still trying to hit unmoving targets. Question: FD? Perhaps I have to precise my problem. I want to attack soft targets from the maximum effective rocket range... or a little underneath. Not talking about an approaching attack run. (by the way, is it possible to launch rockets even if the target gets closer than 1km?) It just surprises me if I hover, switch salvo mode to large, aim for a few trucks, release all 40 rockets in a "smooth turn" over the "target marker" and no vehicle even looks like it has a tire puncture :-))) The impacts look great, from distance and on the Shkval. Remebers me of a documentation about the Vietnam Air-war. The american pilots said about unguided rockets that they dont hit anything, but the BLAST is awesome :-))) Perhaps Iam still too bad in aiming. It also takes a bit until I have the rockets pointed on the target. What you wrote about how to get away from threats by holding the trim is absolutely correct! I realized this just two days ago and it works just fine. I always hold the trim while maneuvering, change position or turn to another waypont. If you hover to close to enemys MBT's for example and you really have to get away FAST, holding the trim was the only chance for me to get out before catching a 120mm HE round;-)

Turn the HUD to Night Mode doesnt help a lot, I think.... Cant see any change. That just turns the Hud Symbols darker, doesnt it? Why you cant use the ABRIS? Just watch down under your NVG. Quiet realistic I guess. A rest light emplifying device let illuminated instruments and screens "glow". Very Very cool!!!

same-as-day-but-green googles of other sims. loool I agree. But I also do in the fact that its much harder to see anything THROUGH the HUD, than just out of the cockpit window. It also looks like there is a spotlight activated to the front, if you turn on the NVG. Irritades me a little. Its so hard to fight an even fly at night! Or that you cant see anything on your cockpit instruments through the NVG. Perfect. I LOVE IT! But is it really so damn hard to see the ground or objects through the hud at night???

Great Thread! Animated Soldiers will come. If the Mi-24 Hind will be flyable, you have to transport troops in order to simulate the the combat task of this "flying bus". My first personal wishes: Perhaps a few "explosion models" for vehicles. Would like to see a flying tank turret after a double missile hit. Or a significant bigger explosion after the ligt up of a fuel truck :-))) Or something like that... Iam sure the russian army uses different types of warheads for their unguides rockets. Would be nice to use clusters, smoke, or combat area illumination. But only if those warheads really exist! :-) And one little thing, I guess. MAP ZOOMING in Briefing screen. Right now my Briefings take place in the editor :-) So far...

I lock the target via Shkval... as I do for using missiles. I "try" to maneuver the helicopters aiming circle over target circle and fire. As I wrote, the rockets hit the location... I see impacts in the direct surrounding area of the target, lets say a fuel truck. No effect. I tried it with cannonpods. Nearly every salvo light up a truck! But I keep on practicing!

Hello there... Want to use the "stabilization Question" to introduce myfelf in this wonderful community. Im flying the KA-50 for about one week now. And yes, it took a while until I realized how this strange, ugly bird should be controlled. First of all, please regard those AP Modes, not as real Autopilots, but as a computer aided stabilisation against the flight physics which simply occurs during the flight of this strange bird. Yesterdy I saw what happens if those functions fail after some 23mm hits and loss of hydraulic pressure. Nice flight experience! As you guys know, every modern combat aircraft is aerodynamic instable. First of those new aircraft type was the F-16A. But no F-16 Pilot would get the idea of shutting down the computer support while flying. And in fact, a helicopter is ALWAYS instable. As one guy above already wrote... As long as you are maneuvering (for getting on the desired heading/speed/altitude) HOLD DOWN the Trimming! When the Heli reaches the desired flight parameters and is stabilised in all 3 axes, realease it. Now the Shark will stay on course with current speed as long as no parameter is changed by outer influence. Works quiet well, I think. Last problem is the precise aiming with unguided weapons. By the way, I think I didnt hit a target with unguided rockets yet. The TV Monitor shows that all rockets impact in the target location, but no one of the 40 rockets perform a direkt hit. Its easier to destroy Trucks with cannonpods on 2km than with rockets. Guess the blast of rocket explosion has to be adapted a little in the future or you must be able to change the warhead of those 80mm rockets to cluster. Im sure the russians also use those cluster warheads as the Army uses for their AH's. You guys think it's easier to aim while in AP DC-Mode? I'll give it a try! So, have a nice FLIGHT! And Greetings to my old Squadron Commander Viper:pilotfly: AND the DCS-BlackShark-Team for creating the most amazing and wunderful computer programm ever developed!!! PLEASE DO NEVER STOP to create new features and vehicles for this great project! Who else should bring me in the air?! If a lack of money could be a problem, I think everybody will agree that we create a "DCS Donation-Fond" :-) And as we are talking about money...:-) What would it take to release the AH-64 as the next DCS modul?!? The ugly warthog should be the next to be released, correct me if I'm wrong. I am so corious to enter the Apache with my gunner in Multiplayer again. Last time was on Longbow2. Hope he still knows how to use the TADS! Anybody remember the Single Mission "Hot Potato" ??? HRHRHR Only one thing is really "****ed up":( The payment via credit card. It was quiet hard for me to get those desired 2GB:music_whistling: Perhaps you guys think that in western Europe everybody gets one with birth:megalol: My future Co/Gunner just said to me he would pay 80€ for this great game NOW! But he is so pissed off that he has to wait until middle of february, that he will dl a cracked version. I'll try to cool him down. But it's hard, as you can imagine. Anyway, im already so addicted to this simulation, I really think my studies are endangered. Hope you guys feel guilty!!! But no matter. In a few weeks I can call the russian army for a seat in a KA-50:lol:
