hyperfighter

no idea, it was a sound file supplied with the game (i thin it was a morse code sound), i have no problems with this map when i test it from the single player mode (changed 1 client to player in order to test)

after i bought the game, with 4 out of 5 campaigns it says not compatible with windows vista, i would have loved to know this before i bought the game..

ye i should stop moaning after all i get a really slick working game for 50 dollars...

ok, i did put sounds in using the mission editor, my bad i used this function. how stupid of me, its ofcourse completely normal this would cause crashes. how stupid of me to think that if the campaigns dont work the multiplayer is buggy that the mission editor would work.

yes multiplayer crashes alot for me when i made custom missions. for instance u get this (1 of the many possible errors ) i got this when using sounds already in this mission for new events sound messes up when switching between external views, or it crashes when closing etcetc... under xp dcs seems to be much more stable, i dont think many beta testers where running vista.

hello i tried to play dcs today , as always when i host this bugged up game it crashed again. i shelfed it for 2 weeks already but thought id give it one more try....ofcourse dcs crashed again. same stupid error as always.. all this game does for me is get me frustrated...the error says contact the support team for more info, WELL LETS HEAR IT SUPPORT TEAM WHAT'S WRONG NOW AGAIN HUH? ANY CHANCE FOR A REFUND PERHAPS?

i used t-ir i could look at it from an angle so it became visible.

was trying different sets and noticed the following, as soon as the horizon comes in to view framerate drops to 9...when i nose down so i cant see the horizon framerate goes up to around 28... got sick and tired of it uninstalled the game, al this game does for me is give me frustrations..thats not what i am looking for in a game, i can get that at work.:doh:

i use the tool tha tautomatically does it, before that i waited to start the game (not the menu , and change it then)

res 1600*1050 changing this doesnt seem to affect anything... texture set low atm, but if i put it on high no channge.. only things that seem to effect anything is civ traffic and scenes... both to low now still get 9 fps, put blur off no change...i tried all possible setting it wont help crap. atm cockpit is 1024 (not every frame) but had it on 512, like all the rest of the settings changing this doesnt help anything... i run in full screen mode...

ok i have an amd dual core 6000+ running at 3,12 ghz 4 gb ram and and ati HD 4850. (i actually bought this pc for this game and dcs still runs like crap) i see al these people bragging about getting 30 fps in combat etc etc, now i wonder what i do wrong because in city's airports etc i can get my framerate above 13 and drops down to 9 (yes i have the shittest os ever i do have vista....big mistake) i do set affinity to 2 cores doesnt help (o wow i get +2fps extra). wether i put res at 800*600 or 1920*whatever its doesnt seem to make any difference either.. what ati-catalyst settings do i have to use????? ive kinda lost total interest in dcs anyway, playing at 9 fps is no fun. the fact that i cant play missions under vista is pretty stupid as well (there goes half the game in the bin...now why did i have to pay full price? half of the game doesnt work under vista. it would have been nice to tell me that before i bought the game! oh yeah when i use external views framerate seem fine but in cockpit view 9 fps...ever tried to play a sim slide-show style? :mad::mad:(sorry about the wining but just talking about dcs gets me pissed off already nowadays)

well it shouldnt be overclocked since i bought the stuff brand new, how can i check?

hello fellow simmers, i downloaded the latest catalyst driver (2009.0203.2228.40314) framerates have a general decrease by 8 -10. game has become choppy. i strongly recommend not installing this release or the one before this (will make the sp game bug when catalyst ai is enabled). and now for some wining: i kinda lost interest in dcs black shark anyway because i have to fix stuff again and again. i am thinking setting cores, VERY unstable server, buggy misson editor. unexplainable crashes, reinstalls reinstalls reinstalls reinstalls, vista reinstalls vista reinstalls another vista reinstall etc etc. bugs when installing up to date drivers again and again no decent administator capabilities in mp. Dull missions that cant even be played under vista (thx for not mentioning this btw, its was a real turn off after i installed the game! first game ever that says u get the full game for xp but only half for vista ), boring multiplayer feature. I am more busy getting dcs to run smoothly then i am actually playing the game maybe ill take a look at it in the next patch (which does nothing about the mp issues, we get some new weapons...great but i rather see the bugs fixed first) but for now dcs goes on the shelf :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

thank u, i will try that this weekend (stopped hosting all together, due to instability probs and misbehaving persons), commview was pretty useless.

maybe commview can, trying to figure it out

yep thats the point everyone is free to join for all i care as long as they behave. i am fiddling with commview i can see connections but theres no help on how to block ip's or mac adresses. since i have 2 free days from work now ill think ill try figuring this out, ill post if i got something suitable....banning on mac adress is good enough for now because that would take some work for the offender to do whenever he gets banned, which will prob get him bored with it soon enough

thx was worried it might be a bit long, but thats the way i use the ap and works for me. glad you liked the post

how do i ip ban know teamkillers / basecamping teamkillers, i know how to kick em but all they do is change their name and rejoin. what these pricks need is a ban that will be effective for at least a whole week? how do i do it, in what file do i add their ip's for them not to be able to join (at least make it a little harder...i know about dynamic ips)

was afraid of this....pretty stupid that they didnt even think of adding this function, well as a consequence dcs multiplayer will NEVER become any good like il2 or lomac. yeah it really pisses me off when i just flown for 1 hour and finally come back to land i get shot by tk-ers, which i can do nothing against..\ i think ill just stopp hosting al together...il be trying PC-Tools firewall plus but if it doesnt work my hosting days are over

ye i know i want to ip ban them but i seriously dont know how, can you give me some more info?

hi all, i host mp maps in dcs usually it are 8 player maps. sometimes teamkilling noobs join, and they mess up the server by killing teamies, i first warn em but if they continue i kick them, but they just enter another name and rejoin again continuing to make others game-experience suck...is there anyway i can ban these guys? basically now i just have to stop hosting for a few hours and hope they dont rejoin! this is just stupid....how do i prevent known assholes from joining my server??? plz help!!!!

example of my profile :pilotfly:

sigh...if u dont have enroute mode on this switch does NOTHING! u MIGHT WANNA google/youtube producer note #10, how to use trim.....

i am using the saitek myself and its great, now to be honest i think u dont really know how to handle te autopilot. so ill explain how i fly (i can fly under bridges, nap of the earth etc with no probs, but it took me like 3 weeks to figure it out) first of all put deadzones on your stick, especially the twist. because when you turn say left and your not using deadzones, your likely to input some unintended rudder, this will be picked up by the ap. (if u think your helo is flying kinda weird take a look down at your pedals see if your not inputting rudder or press right control + enter) now for usage on the ap, when flying long strips where your basically not need to maneuver real much but are ingressing use only the 3 buttons heading hold, bank and yaw, turn altitude hold off. now say you want to turn 4 degrees and hold that heading, just move the stick a little tap the trim and immediatly realese the stick, if u want a bigger turn, say 15 degrees then hold the trim turn 15 degrees stabilize the helo, then release trim and release the stick. after that you might wanna tap trim a few more times to get any errors out. now if u would want to make say like a 90 degree turn current ap mode is not really suited since you will be fighting the ap when your about half way (you could press trim and release when your done but the ap will pick up some errors) best way is to now turn ADF on (ap director) this trim works totally different trim the aircraft so it flies straight at the speed and height u like, now WITHOUT USING TRIM (the plane is trimmed) fly around, this is the mode u need to use for flying and maneuvering for ex near targets. when you do a 180 degree turn only then you might want to retrim again. in short for straight flights where you dont need to maneuver violently use no adf tap trim when making small inputs, hold and release trim for larger inputs, when u need to maneuver more switch to adf, trim the plane so it flies like u want and you can freely fly withouth almost any trimming. some important notes, while in adf hover hold is no good, switch back adf off when u use hover hold, something else thats real imporant, once you used hover-hold the altitude hold button will be activated, even when u exit the hover hold, dont forget to turn this off again. what is happening to u i guess is that your fighting the autopilot instead of letting the ap help u..try flying in adf mode see if it feels better. also when using route mode DONT FORGET TO PUT THAT OFF when u want to take control. basically if i fell i am fighting the chopper i do the following check up: 1 are my rudders straight? 2 is enroute mode off 3 is auto turn to target off? ("Q" key) 4 check the ap is altitude hold off, are the other 3 buttons on?\ 5 still no good? right-ctrl enter see whats wrong 6 am i maneuvering hard,is adf on? oh and why do u need to trim when u change speed..well isnt that obvious? (hint u can use it to go up and down, so u if u trimmed the plane using 80% power and now u put in 100% power and dont trim again well your be going up right? if u want to keep that alt you would need to nose down, but you pick up speed. on the other hand if u had alt-hold on inputting more power would not make u climb but beacuase the ap is trying to keep same alt heading and bank, so the only way thats possible is to pick up speed... i mean just that question alone tells me your stick etc is fine but you just not used to the trim function, maybe u used trim in planes but its really not the same as in this bird. ps: try not to learn bad habits using ctrl + t this is ground trim and you ONLY USE THIS when u have landed. u really dont need this in flight and is actually quite dangerous. try holding the trim stabilize the helo and release trim and stick) i suspect your not releasing the joystick when u using trim had similar probs as u did in the beginning (the helo was flying me and i was fighting the ap too much) now i fly the helo and let the ap make my life easier, i can now control the chopper so good i can actually land on my nose wheel alone driving along the runway for instance...u just need to know how to handle the ap, and trust me this a lot harder then learning how to use weapons and stuff, the ap has a lot of functions and it makes a lot of difference in how the helo handles (depending on what functions are selected) try adf right after taking off and go do some free flying, trim it so u fly straight at aproxx 140 kmh, then DONT TOUCH TRIM AGAIN and fly around, .if u dont have probws flying now youre just handling the helo wrong. If its still giving probs something else might be wrong

nope all looked fine over here, i think my res was at 1640*1050 http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/1462/leo.jpg
