Any help, please? In short, despite having the English version, I'm getting Russian voices in the cockpit. A short search into the files showed me that I have audio files of all languages (ENG, DE, RU). What to do?

I recently reinstalled a clean version of DCS: Black Shark (English Version) and on top of it, english version of patch 1.0.2. However I am now getting russian voices in the cockpit. Went to the sound folders and it seems I have all voice files (english, german, russian). Is this normal and how can I pick the proper language? Delete the folder I want unused? I seemed to remember from the past that the English version only had English chatter. Sorry if this has been brought up..

We at Global Naval Strike Force play a few sims trying to cover aspects of modern warfare whilst striving for realism in a structured environment. We play Falcon 4: Allied Force, Ghost Recon, Dangerous Waters [and 688(I) Hunter/Killer for anyone that wants the occasional retro-style dive]. As soon as we spotted DCS: Black Shark, we were certain that we should add this game to our collection in order to cover the area of helicopter warfare. After a lot of work on creating a proper reporting system, a set of rules and a map pack, we now officially support DCS: Black Shark and would be very glad to see you join our big family.

We at GNSF have a few people playing DCS: Black Shark and we're continually working to improve our map pack. Have a look (link in my sig) and if that kind of thing interests you, we would be glad to see you around. On an a personal level, feel free to PM me and we can set up a time to play whenever possible :)

GuntiNDDS, I have the exact same CPU (s939) with a somewhat old graphics card (7600GT AGP). With medium settings it runs OK at 1024x768. Depending on the objects I can get anywhere from 20 to 60 FPS, but if there are many objects it may go as low as 10. As another person in this forum said...get the game, worry about the upgrades later :) As for the USB power draw, do not worry too much. USB works with the 5V rail and a common joystick will draw less than 0.5 A of current. I've got a simple Logitech Attack 3 one and it needs 0.5 Watt to run. For 10 joysticks you need 5, let's exaggerate and say 10 watts. I'm pretty sure your PSU can provide that, but if you want to be sure, open up your computer case and check the current rating for the 5V rail, then calculate the power draw of your USB devices (if you turn them upside down, they usually list it there), and you'll know for good :) But don't worry about it.

Starting the chopper with Lwin+home does not flick the 'radar altimeter/barometric altimeter' switch next to the AP buttons. Therefore you engage the hover hold but the altitude hold autopilot is not working I believe, as neither of its modes are selected. This may be why you have trouble hovering..

Did you try setting the DCS.exe for multiple cores or just the launcher.exe?

Are you sure this does more than setting the affinity with the Windows task manager does?

Hello, I'm not sure what keyword to search the manual with in order to find answer to a question I have, so I would like to ask the kind souls here, as some of you will surely know. Sometimes I get this screen on the Shkval. Initially I thought it does it when it fires up for the first time, but sometimes it may also do it midflight, and I wonder why..Anyone know what this is for? Thanks.

I wish the options in the mission editor to allow or disallow external views for enemies/allies only will get fixed and work as intended :) Further I wish the alt+F1 HUD view would not be included in the 'no external views' restriction. My two cents :)

The reset trim condition is useful when you are on the ground. See here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=583711&postcount=42 I do find it useful when my touchdown is a little 'clumsy' :) Helps prevent your chopper from flipping over.

Hello, I play the South Ossetians Pirates mission, and usually I die for some reason. Then I am presented with the debriefing screen, where I hit "fly again". The 3D world loads up, and there I am in the chopper. I hit pause to start playing but I have no control over the chopper. The cockpit view might move slightly and a couple of instruments might move too, but I have no control over it. I hit LWin+Home to get the engines starting and it doesn't work. And, about 10 seconds after I have hit the "unpause" button, the 3d world exits and I get back to the debriefing screen. I try flying again, but have the same problem yet again.. What might be causing this? System configuration: Motherboard: MSI K8T Neo2-F (MS-6702E) Processor: AMD Athlon X2 4200+ (64bit, socket 939) Graphics card: Leadtek 7600 GT (AGP) OS: Win XP Home 32-bit Controllers: Logitech Attack 3 joystick

Zakk and DeltoBrava, does it work even if there are ships in the mission?

Have you read this already? It is recommended that you trim each time your flight parameters change.

Bump...any help will be greatly appreciated. The worst part about disabling external views is you also lose the HUD-only view (LAlt+F1). The worst part about enabling external views is you also get to see the coordinates of your targets in a multiplayer environment... Is there a definite way to disable enemy external views but allow external views of your own chopper?
