what hook light?

Hi, I tried running that file using the target GUI and it stopped with a run time error after about 2 minutes?

Thanks guys, it appears to have been a combination of having two different controllers plugged in at the same time and loads of functions mapped to both rudders and hotas together. Thank you for the pointers, Mark

But is it better? I might need the new system? I just want to know what the changes are !!

Ok, it looks like lots of reading time.... ! I just started reading some of the linked threads, but its tricky to see which info is correct and what is outdated by the new patches. Can I just ask, does the new manual product ( which I have, but have not yet read ) take into account the patch changes? Is it possible to summarize the changes ? Is there a read me for the patches installed anywhere that details the changes? I am not being lazy, its just I have very little spare time for this and every minute is valuable... thanks, Mark

Hi, Guys, I am returning to Black shark after a nine month lay off. Before left, I was just about up to speed with using the trim and auto pilot. I have patched my game to version C. However I understand that trim is now implemented differently. Is there a succint and concise explanation of how to use the new trim function anywhere? Or am I going to have to spend the next few days ploughing back through threads here to find the info ? Does it also interact differently with the autopilot now? I carefully downloaded and printed out the KA50 autopilot notes earlier in the year and dont want to start learning stuff again that is wrong. Thank you, mark

thx, will look tomorrow, it was happening right at start of instant action, which I was using to re familiarise. So was not going fast, it was not rotor strike, it was as if the rudder was suddenly slammed right over, even then, i have never seen the helo react that fast to a control input in the sim before... thx, Mark

Hey guys, i justgot myself re installed, after a 6 month break, needless to say, i have forgotten most of my hard learned knowledge. my first problem is that as soon as touch and I mean the tiniest lightest touch my feet onto my rudder pedals, the helo immediately turns upside down and spins into the ground. I cant see anything wrong in the setup options, axis assigned is rz and the rudder function on my CH eclipse yoke works just fine ( I wanted to use my cougar hotas and rudder pedals instead while flying the Helo, as its more realsitic and intuitive) anyone have an idea what might be my issue? i have not managed to fly more than 100 metres yet!! cheers, Mark

Edit, its all down to stupidity!! I forgot my original log in was different. I think the error is as a result of not placing the data1 .cab file in the install as well. Thanks again and sorry to waste your time!

Hi Guys, I have to re install my game as i have built a new PC. The set up file i have gives an error halfway through, so I think I need to re download. However, on my account, I can seee my payment records, but cannot see anywhere where I can re download the file. My email to the support address came back undeliverable. can anyone help me out with the correct procedure ? thanks, Mark

thx dude, had a read through, looks like a step too far for me, seems very complex and people seemed to be having problems getting it installed. I think i will stick with the stock system for the time being, but thx for the pointer. mark

I asked this in the autopilot sticky thread, but got no reply, so am putting it here for better attention! In the thread, there is a long post by Reticuli, in which he refers to a glovepie script he has written and its effect on manouvering. It seemed from the post that this was some kind of add on to use with the Saitek software. ( But I may be mistaken here) Is this correct? If not, what is it and how is it used? Will it help in flying and manouvering the helo? thx, Mark

My sentiments entirely, I have already pre ordered the manual on Amazon, having a fantastic time learning the complexities of this sim, cant wait for future releases!!

Hi Sobel, I meant the system does it, as opposed to the pilot!! I am sure you understand what I meant!! I am just curious how the system will adjust airspeed, if it has no action on the collective, and consequently, how much pilot input is required when in route mode. And thanks for your patience with me !!

Ok thx, it does that by raising or lowering the nose to increase or decrease airspeed? You dont have to do that for it? And what if by raising the nose, you start to rise ( or descend if doing the opposite) Already stated above that the system does not affect the collective, so do you have to input the required collective change yourself after the system raises or lowers the nose to adjust airspeed?

Woops, frederf seems to have replied while I was replying and answered my questions, thx guys

thx for the reply Sobek, what do you mean by "trim for the desired airspeed" ? I understand from your reply that you must input the collective to achieve the required altitude, what about the rest? Does the system purely just turn the helo to the required waypoint and thats it? thx

In route mode, does the helo auto climb to the required height , or do you have to input that yourself. I tried it out for the first time last night, but could not decide how it worked properly. Can you switch it on striaght away from a hover on take off and will it also pitch down to attain the right airspeeed as well? Or does it just provide steering input? And do you need to trim while in route mode? Thx

Thanks guys, great service as always on this forum, thx again

Hi, I am posting a link to a track, where I am struggling to understand what is happening. i have just taken off, I stabilise in a hover, i am not in route mode, and i have the heading hold button off, just pitch and bank buttons on. I input rudder to point to my desired heading, when i get there i release the rudder, but the helo, slowly goes back round the other way and will then carry on turning slowly round. If you look on the track, you can see me make several attempts to stop this, as soon as I centre the rudders, it starts again. Why is this ? http://www.2shared.com/file/5032857/79799285/rudder_problem.html

aaaah, thank you

Hey reticuli, trying to figure out what works best for me, how and where can you choose between dynamic trim and manual trim and what does this mean? sorry for the idiot question !

Guys, where is the skid ball i keep seeing references to? Anything to help my attempts at controlling the thing!!

Thanks for the help, I guessed it was probably something to do with autopilot and trim, plus my hamfisted flying. I cant believe how much fun ( and frustrating ) it is, learning to fly this bird, Falcon4 is sytems really, the flying itself is easy. This however, is a whole different ballgame, I see it being many hours before I am even remotely reliably proficient!!

Mangaroca, what does the O key do? I am using the viper profile for my cougar. This has been a one off so far, but I am keen to understand why it happened, so as to learn from my mistake, whatever it was!!
