Hi people, wondered if any of you could comment on expected frame rates in the game, my PC is no sloutch, ( see spec in my sig) but with settings on high, I am only getting about 20fps in the cockpit, less over a town. I was a bit suprised at this, as the engine and textures are essentially lomac, and should not be too demanding for a fast machine like mine. Cheers, Mark

Thanks guys, sometimes things like this can take so much time to find, a quick forum post can save valuable time you could be spending practicing crashing the black shark!!!

Hi , just a quicky, how do you show FPS in game? i have been searchingthe forum, but cant find a post relating to this, thanks, mark

Cool, thanks for the advice. Do you need to have just the FD button on, or does it need to be on in conjunction with the other 4 autopilot buttons ? or some other combination of all of them ? I think i will try and get the hang of the controls first using the flight direction, then ease myself into the mysteries of trimmimg... ! Off for a practice now, thanks for the help, Mark

Hi people, well, I have had an interesting and slightly frustrating few hours!! I think I am slowly getting the hang of the trim, but still having major problems getting into big oscillating patterns which i find very hard to get out of, or more importantly, to understand why they started. The right control enter thing is great, my main problem is that the controls seem super responsive sometimes, you just have to touch a bit and massive movements happen. I can see a lot of practice and a lot of further questions arising! The training tutorials help a bit, but when i take over it dont happen like they did it!! Fro example, when i tried the hover and take off, as soon as i lifted off, I seemed to rise very quickly and also start to spin - even though I had not touched the rudders or movedthe collective very far. Do you need to use the throttles at all? I have them set on my range slider on the cougar. Thanks again, i will keep practicing!!, mark

Woooooahh!!! Loads of imformation!!!! I can see that i will have my work cut out with this ! Thanks to all for your excellent and in depth replies, i will try out all suggestions over the next few days, work and family commitments allowing and let you all know how I got on, thanks again. Incidentally, how do you turn on flight director? I could not find a macro for it in my cougar profile? Nice community! mark

Hey guys, been a keen falcon 4 player for some time, although not for a few years now. black shark has got me back in to flught sims, and being a ex falconeer, I have started learning at the simulation, not game settings. I am having some problems controlling the helo, if I describe them, I hope maybe you have some tips. I have a cougar and rudder pedals and am using Legolandisar profile for the cougar. basically, I can take off and hover pretty good, but the helo seems to want to go left or right. When I correct this with rudder input, after a while, I often seem to get into a kind of high speed spin, round the centre axis. I can stop this by applying the appropriate rudder, but when I release the rudder, it starts again. Once the helo is in this behaviour, i dont seem to be able to stop it. I have tried trimmimg, but it does not seem to make any difference. Then if i try and go forwards, it all seems to go completely wrong and uncontrollable. Any ideas? cheers, Mark
