Looking good Chazz. :thumbup:

Hey thanks. I noticed that we are pretty close together. If you happen to come by my way, stop in for a beer!! :D

I think I've finished this skin. I changed the screenshots above to the finished product. I will be posting this to www.Lockonfiles.com when I get some time.

Nice looking skins!! :thumbup:

Here is another skin I've been working on. It is a Canadian trainer Ka-50. :book: Thanks for the idea Chazz. :thumbup:

Is there another way that you would like to see the tail decal?

I don't have a force feed back stick myself, but I have fiddled enough with the game settings to know that you have to enable it in the options menu on the game settings. Go to axis controls and enable FF to each axis. Give that a try.

Do you guys want me to upload this skin?

Yes its possible to move the beam to another target with missile in flight. I've done it numerous times when flying along side AI chopper. Alot of the times my wing man will shoot at a target that I already have lined up. I'll see my target explode just after I launch my missile. So I just readjust my laser on to another target and the missile follows the laser right to the new target. Usually the targets are pretty close together so I can lock on the new target pretty quick. As for launching another missile, the Shark will not allow you to do that while a missile is in flight unless you have it set to long mode. But in this case they fire almost simultaneously, so it is impossible to move the laser to another target in time after the first missile strikes.

That don't matter. This is still an AWESOME utility. :thumbup: :thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks, I made some changes to the tail section however.

I undertand what you are saying, but if history serves me correct, Longbow 2 was the last study sim for a chopper, and that was out wayyyy before falcon by years. So you can understand why alot of us really want the apache. As for ED knowing about the amount of rotorheads out there, I'm not quite so sure about that. The amount of threads popping up lately that have to do with jets over choppers have started to make me wonder whether ED remembers us. After all the A-10 is slated next and now apparently the AH-64a is no longer a for sure thing. So yeah I am a little worried about the direction of this sim. That is why I started this poll. :cry:

Hey Kreuger, if you don't like this pole, that is fine. You certainly don't have to voice your opinion. If you would rather see a different pole, you are more than welcome to create your own pole. This pole however is an off shoot of another thread (Ability to fly other aircraft) that gained alot of popularity with this subject. I just wanted to know what the percentage of rotorheads vs jetheads there are on these forums because the way these threads are shaping up, ED needs to know that there ARE chopper fans out there as well. We have to show our support for that as well, or all we are going to see in the future are jet sims, because no one had the energy to post a simple poll. It's up to you whether or not you would like to take part in this pole.

That would be a damn shame if that is the case.

Awe man, this is the best mod yet Skypat!!! You the man!!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: This speeds things up so much. However, I was wondering if you could get it to go back to the menu screen when you are done the mission. I noticed that when you exit the mission, it exits the game completely. You can't check out your flight recorder or what ever you need to do at the end of your mission. Not that I am complaining because this is an awesome mod. I think it would be better if you could exit to menu however, if this is at all possible. If not, you still the man !!!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I agree, with you. We have already had jet sims out there with LOMAC and Flaming Cliffs. We certainly didn't see any choppers in those sims. I'm not saying however that we shouldn't see any jets come out for this series. Its just been a long time before Black shark that we have seen any good Chopper sims. I've enjoyed playing jet sims as well, but the truth is I have just gotten plain bored with them. I think that bringing out some fresh chopper sims is totally the way to go. Then it will satisfy our craving for those. Then who knows, maybe we'll get bored of those and we will be craving the jets again. I think that would be a better time for ED to bring out those jet sims. Then they will be getting my money as well. I would definitely love to see more Choppers coming out with this series, including the Cobra!! But that is just my opinion. :)

Thats only because there is no planned AH-1 that I'm aware of. Otherwise there definitely would be!!!

I agree with you Madman!!!

The A-10 is the next module, i'm just curious to see how many jet jockeys there are over rotorheads in this forum

Here is a simple poll that I have searched the forum for and have not seen. I'm just curious to see how many favour the AH-64a Apache over the A-10c Warthog as the next module. I vote AH-64a Apache all the way baby!!!:thumbup:

Here is my latest skin. This skin is based on 427 Squadron (The Lions Den)flying the CH-146 Griffon out of CFB Petawawa, Ontario, Canada. And of course, I like it dirty. ;) Made a few changes to the tail section

That is another chopper I would love to see modeled here.

I have to admit though, when the apache does come out, I can't see myself going back to the black shark. I've just always dreamed of flying the apache. I absolutely loved the Janes Longbow series and played those for quite a while, (until the graphics just were not that good anymore). I can definitely see a rise in sales when they bring out the apache, especially with the multiplayer dual cockpit. I don't think, (for me that is) that I'm going to be the slightest bit interested in switching back and forth between modules, especially if they bring the same amount of realism to the apache as they did with Black Shark. But thank you for seeing my point. ;)

I'm not saying that they shouldn't make an A-10 module or any other Fighter module for that matter. I'm just saying that it would be nice to see a standoff weapon to the Ka-50 come out first if not at the same time as Black Shark. Then go with the A-10 and a standoff to that airplane as well at the same time, CHARGING FOR EACH ONE SEPERATELY OF COURSE. But this is just my opinion.
