i opened the same mission in the editor and changed the il76s to fighter planes, and both aircraft are visible in game. so guess fc2 doesnt like heavys flying together. i wont lose any sleep over it :)

Hello again, created first mission in FC2. Just 1 US flight of 1x F15 (player) parked on the ramp, and 1 Russian flight of 2x IL76D highAI also parked at ramp at another airbase 50km to the north. The Russians have a waypoint to head south, and a third waypoint to land at another airport. I take off, head north and come across the flight leader IL76. He is always alone. If i scroll through entities whilst in flight (using function keys), there is only me and the flight leader. WHen i end the mission, there is no mention of the second IL76 having taken off, crashed or existed :huh: In the mission editor, both IL76s are present on the airbase apron...how do i get the 2nd one to appear in game ? cheers http://bradensmith.com/lockon/braden1.miz

hello FC2 patch 1.2.1, WinXP x86 i remapped screenshot (under F-15C->General)=Z, and FPScounter=X. In game, flying F15, pressing X or Z do nothing. any tricks to get them to work? cheers

does sticking the speakers next to each other increase FPS? if not, think i'll stick to my cheapo audigySE until i have a room big enough to put 7 speakers spread out, and get top end sound card at same time

thanks for the further info. my original question was due to reading an article sometime ago (i havent been able to track it down again yet), stating that certain soundcards, including SOME X_FI cards...still do a lot of processing in software and therefore dont gain you much at (if) all from a performance perspective. therefore im trying to eliminate which ones they are, before i plonk some cash down

does blackshark run under ubuntu? anyho, back to my original question, has anyone experienced any noticable PERFORMANCE gain having a good sound card V.S. cheapo OR onboard? call me weird, im not so interested in the sound quality at this point, only got good set of 2.1 speakers and they sound great.

Hi all, really happy with my gaming pc, though it seems on the net that having a decent sound card can/may help FPS somewhat. I never seem to go below 30fps in black shark, but even a couple of extra fps would help that overall sensation of silky smoothness. At the moment i just have a Creative Labs SB Audigy SE in my machine. I am happy to spend bucks on a decent one that does proper hardware processing etc... ive just not found what one to go for from my research on the net so far...reviews seem to contradict each other. It will be for Vista64, core2duo e8600, 6gb, 2x evga gtx+ 9800, evga 790 motherboard would love to hear what u think i should get (if anything) thanks - have a nice day

You could get an excellent MIMO UM 740 touchscreen...everything (power/signal/input/webcam etc) is handled via 1 USB2 connection Its pretty small though, so using dickDastardlys profile is out of the question...depends what u wanna put on it. I love it. I just programmed the on-screen labels on the bottom of ABRIS to be touchable, rather than take up extra realestate with a copy of the cockpit buttons.

ooo Too Cool, what do u use the saitek throttle quadrant for? engine throttle levers? hadn't thought of plugging it in for BS...i like that idea...i like it a lot edit: and why are my replies always half a page long, even though theres 2 lines of text?

Thats what i was wondering...if he/she is from an english speaking country and is watching a tv show/movie with an english soundtrack...does he/she take it back to blockbuster to complain if there's a line here or there in a foreign language but subtitled? Does he call up the tv station and complain? Demand refund of tv licence? :doh: Personally, i'm damn grateful that a Russian company has made an english version for us to play. After 3 weeks of owning it and damn well enjoying just learning to fly in free flight... i didn't even realise there was some russian language in the game. Buy yourself a tent with your refunded money, go run and hide in the middle of the forest somewhere where you can't hear any of them foreigners speak - 'cause they're coming to get YOU! Just my personal thoughts of course...since you decided to go public with this whinge. *kiss*

Ctrl-Pause on mine...check your keyboard settings for 'Pause' ...........

cheers buddy, that was wee-your-pants funny to watch. i love my wingman hovering directly above me, whilst i'm ducking behind a hill and popping up to take out targets

i thought my bombs werent dropping after seeing the explosion on the ground...turns out i was dropping the bombletswhose container stays on the pylons. did u have some funky mix of armanents on your pylons? i.e. not matching pairs?

how does one setup 2 aircraft types so they can actually escort ? is it a case of adding the two aircraft (of diff types) and giving them duplicate sets of waypoints (and set one to escort mode?) lomac was much nicer where we could lump diff flights of aircraft into a group

hello is there anyway to move the yellow throttle levers with the mouse, like most other controls can be interacted with by clickin them in the cockpit? or are we required to map a key/button to operate the throttle levers?

im curious, if one of these blurring fudges is put in, does that make the screenshot feature unusable ? i.e. we just see this artifical disc and a blurry mess over the rotor hub ? :) how was that handled in the other games mentioned where blurring was implemented?

hello all, got my trackir w/ clip yesterday, and thanks to Shrubbos nice tutorial - was up n running in 10 minutes. I wanna have a 3way with black shark and trakir that never ends. grrrrr anyhoooo, i was quite happy with the settings as they were with SHrubbos post, i.e. i didnt even both doing fine tuning. The only thing i would like to be able to do, and cannot do - is lean in very close to the lower panels (i.e. where u turn laser on standby, the abris, the right hand panels). I tried eV1Te's profile, but that seems similar in that regard. Basically when i lean forward...its like i hit a glass wall at some point (the 4808 panel is quite close), but if i look down, the lower panels are barely readable and i cannot lean in anymore...i need to use the Zoom View key/slider to get a very up close n personal view of the lower panels/abris. Triedplaying with a few funky Z axis shapes in trackir...no cigar. So my question is...can i go from a fully zoomed out view (when i am leaning back) to a maximum zoomed in view of the lower panels using trackir only, or am i expecting too much of trackir ? cheers

ok, i misunderstood and thought u were talking about screenshots taken in game, and therefore comparing to photos.

ah so this thread is about the hub? well thats travelling slower than the rotors so any blur will be minimal compared to the rotors. theres loads of real photos of the ka50 in flight showing the hub looking still and detailed, whilst the rotors are blurred. looks like you're after a control for the shutter speed in the game? which i guess if implemented will just merge a couple of frames together...

im confused. last night i found where the screenshots are kept and looked at mine. the first thing i thought was: wow, i like the motion blur on the rotor whilst the rest of the helicoper was in perfect detail. the screenshots were done from the F2 camera. are other cameras less blurry? looked just like the pix i took at the local airshow last year

do u see NC in the 'store' box on the centre/weapon panel, indicating missile is definately selected? does the Release Weapon key/button u are using work for dropping bombs, firing rockets?

Anyone using saitek x52 and joy button1 does both, without using saitek software? i modified the lua file (it actually had two use_single_trigger lines in it, one set to false, one set to true..i removed the false one) setting Gun Fire and Release Weapon to joy1 would only fire the cannon... But i can map joy15 to Release Weapon, i.e trigger 1st indent is cannon, trigger 2nd indent is fire weapon...that works in game.

righto, this is starting to make more sense...jettison arm button only affects the atgm jettison button. sounds like a clarification in the manual is required...or im just Thick :) THANKS GUYS

so the manual is wrong (what i quoted above) ?- where it implies you can jettison the weapons ARMED or UNARMED
