is it a legit maneuver to use the condition levers for reducing height instead of using the collective and trying to keep speed with the cyclic ? would a real pilot do that ? if not, what are the other real-life maneuvers a pilot would use the condition levers for ?

yah i use the affinity tool, tho i dont get 30-40 fps througout. overlclocked my athlon64 x2 4200+ to 2400mhz per core and within cockpit i get between 10 and ~35 fps now. when i turn to the backpanel / where the adf list sign hangs, i usually get big fps drop aswell, having like 5 fps there. maybe gonna get new computer sometime this year tho.

hi, someone else posted this image here on the forum: http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/8599/ka50keychartxl4.jpg i have that printed out. very usefull. maybe helps with your problems.

i like it very much. install was a breeze. you download latest software from their webpage, install it, plug the device in and then update the games-profiles list. i may be purchasing the headphone/set clip addon, because i dont like wearing hats that much. being said that i love it, i wouldnt say its perfect per se. i cannot really lean outside to the left window alot, because it wont pick up the dots there anymore, no matter where i place it on my monitor. i think my monitor may be too close to my head tho. Also its not "spot on", so theres a little "after-move" from the camera. donno how to put it :) - could be an effect of my cpu not being the newest technology maybe. not sure. dont let that put you off buying it tho, its really good and it adds alot to the immersion of the game. would definitly buy it again :)

allright. most of my questions in op are answered now, but i still dont get the adf channel thing. as said, some airports are not on the list. what channel do i put then ? also, today i picked sochi-adler airport because it was on the list. the list sais i should put channel 5. but on channel 5 there was only silence. so i switched through the channel selection and noticed i was picking up signals from two different channels. i belive 4 and 2 or something. i then took the morse-alphabet from the manual and identified channel 4 (i believe) to be the sochi-adler one. so thats kinda weired, that the list sais i should put channel 5, but i receive the signal on channel 4 ?

well, thats quite a downer then, and very huge bug in my oppinion. ruins immersion when flying over water and eliminates the visual feedback when trying to fly under a bridge or something. i hope they will fix this in a patch. is there really nothing i can do about it ? :(

hi, today i discovered a weired graphical glitch. its hard to see from the attached screenshot, but very apparent when moving the view around. the water is floating guessed 10 meters below the ground and bridge. in other words, between the water and the ground there is a 10m high gap of nothing. updated the graphics card drive, but didnt solve the issue. i have a 8800gts. any ideas ??

thanks for your answeres. speaking with ground crew through open door makes sence off course. gotta try with door closed :D

hi, i have this card and propably not the latest driver :) cant be bothered to check all the time, and works fine. thats using vista64 - and 512mb version of the card. i also have the x52 combination (pro) and have realtek onboard sound drivers active, even tho i use an external audio-device from edirol for actual sound playback. only time i had a crash so far was with fraps, and yet not sure why that happened.

thanks will have a look.

i am following the startup procedure as described in the manual, but: 1) my ADI keeps showing the red flag in the upper left corner. i dont get what it means from the manual. it sais something about it on page 6-12, but dont get what it means. 2) dont really understand how to read the airport/beacon table. some airports are not on the list, how do i know their channel ? 3) on the page 9-15 in the manual, it talks about fineal checks and tells to setup the radio on the right panel R-828. what channel am i supposed to set there (1-10), and what do i use it for ? (as i allready use the left-panel radio for communication with ground crew and tower). 4) same page it sais i should uncage the sai. hower, it doesnt say how to do it. the sai has what looks to be a spinable button, but i cannot spin it. also it shows the red flag in the right upper corner. out of curiosity: 5) the first thing i do on startup is to request ground power from the ground crew through the left-panel radio. does this radio not require any power ? because at that time i havent enabled batteries, nor do i have ground power yet. ? Thanks for your answers.

hi, cant get this to work. i tried all combinations but didnt notice any faster playback / ff going on. ?

what does this script do ? didnt get a clue from the instructions-post. thanks.

^^. cool. thanks for info :D

Observed behaviour The Tutorial-Mission that should explain doing a running take-off instead explains doing the vertical-take-off again. (exact same content as vertical-take-off tutorial) - in the german version How to reproduce 1. Install german DVD version 2. Patch with town name hotfix 3. Start the "running take-off" tutorial 4. Observe how a vertical take-off is being explained instead of a running take-off. Appreance Always.

sorry if it has been asked before, but may you consider including an option in the patch to fast forward "tracks", or skip to a certain point ?

i was going to try windows media encoder, but couldnt find a vista64 version. thats why i tried the movie maker first :)

i see. didnt knew it had an internal video tool. gotta have a look at it.

yes i know virtual dub. what codec are you using tho ? xvid, vidx,.. whatever ?

lol. thanks for your numbers. so between 30 and 300. rofl. i been practicing landing today, and i dont come with zero forward speed yet. i been doing landings between 10 to 4 forward speed, and didnt have any tire issues or something. just when the front wheel touches the ground, there is a little shaking. i would like to minimize that a bit.

hi, was wondering what software and encoder you are using for making your blackshark movies. i got fraps, and it creates uncompressed avi files at huge file sizes :D i tried windows movie maker but it was very slow and the result looked crappy aswell :D

interested aswell.

anyone got some figures, whats the max speed is you should have when engaging landing (from about 5 meters or so), to be able to land smooth ? thanks.

i got and started playing the game yesterday. i spent the last two weeks or so observing the forum and youtube videos, so i had quite a good idea on how to operate the helicopter upfront. i am by no means good at it yet, but i get how it works. i also didnt find the autopilot buttons hindering me. they work pretty good with the triming for me. only situations that i still have difficulties with are approaching a runway for landing correctly and manual hovering maneuvers. so far i am enjoying the game alot. its very immersive and the performance is better than expected. and thats from someone who hasnt flown flight simulators since f16-falcon and fighter bomber on the commodore amiga :D the only bad experience i had was with the dvd-rom it shipped on tho. out of the box it was unreadable and i had to clean it with glass cleaner to get my dvdrom reading it. (thats the german distribution version by koch media, btw)

i see :D thanks :P will give it a try tommorow.
