OK so basically what is needed is: 1. Land 2. Switch Radio to Ground Crew(Simulates them connecting to the aircraft to chat) 3. When done switch back from ground crew (simulates them disconnecting) 4. Request takeoff from the tower. Thanks Mithandra

Hi Guys, Well I am well into the first oil campagin but after my retarded wingman decided it would be a good idea to rectally insert a SAM missile I headed back to base after depleating all of my ordinance. Landed then requested a rearm with the default loadout, I also tried tank buster loadout, but nothing happends. Anyone else been able to rearm if so how? Do you have to land in a specific place of something? I landed the Helo on one of the H ground symbols. Thanks Mithandra

Definatly TrackIR but also with Track Clip Pro cost is about £124. Mithandra

LMAO

Linux games are few and far between. Wine allows you to run windows applications in a virtual windows enviroment running on linux. Downside to this is that it is slower that the intended implementation. Mithandra

Lets hope so, as loading the MP UI takes a hell of a lot longer that the SP UI. Mithandra

I agree with you the helo is not the most advanced in the world and coming up against some SAMS you are pretty much screwed. but as for the implimentation of the game i would give it 80%. Personally a more up to date Helo would have suited me. I am wainting for the Apache Addon for the game, not really bothered about another A-10 addon as that is sort of available in Lock-On, although I did enjoy playing that a lot and it was my fav plane in Lockon :)

sweet :) looks like you have a new enemy to contend with :)

Thanks for the info guys, I will look into it a little further and perform some tests. with regards to someone saying a low end system this is my setup Striker Extreme M/B 4Gig of ram intel 9850 Quad Core CPU 2 x 8800 GTX 768MB NVidia Cards (running in SLI only when i dont want the ABRIS and SCHAVAL on the second display) I dont believe this is a low end system to be honest :) With regards the the first reply. I am quite a compitent user of windows although I normally use Unix / Linux / Solaris. Without people testing games and stuff on new operating systems how can the developers cater for the release of a new op without more time spent on internal testing. The more people that can help out and possibly find errors so that they can try and fix them the better IMHO. Anyways thanks again for the replies :) Thanks Mithandra

Hi Guys, I am currently running BS on Windows 7. Problem is that 80% of the time when i launch the game the main screen comes up as normal then i choose what i want to do, i.e. mission or campaign then when the game tries to launch in to the mission a windows error box comes up "The application was unable to start correctly (0x0000142)" I have searched everywhere to find what is causing this but to no avail. Anyone else having this error or can suggest a way forward? Thanks Mithandra

Hi Guys, I just learned that the extra manual that you can purchase will be in black & white. For those of us who can afford to pay the extra would you consider buying the manual if it was in colour but at double the price? Thanks Mithandra

personally I would have liked the UK manual screen shots in English, if you are paying for an extra manual you would normally expect something in addition to what is actually included with the PDF. I could have quite easily take the pdf down to staples and had it colour laser printed and bound rather than waiting to hear that the manual being printed is actually black and white. Its like ED realease a fantastic game then state they are releasing a manual then put a downer on it by only doing it in Black and white. for me I will be getting my pdf printed and not buying the other manual. This is personnal preference, i hate black and white manuals as they feel cheap. thanks Mithandra

Hi Guys, I was definatly going to buy the extra manual but after reading some threads and finding out its only going to be black and white I dont think I will bother, i think I will just get it printed and bound like the chap did who started this thread. thanks Mithandra

flight setups Hi Guys, I thought it would pass the time to see what people are using for flying BS. Post your PC Setup images here: My current config is: Cougar HOTAS TrackIR 4 Pro with Track Clip Pro Dell 24" Monitor 1920x1200 Iiyama 19" Monitor 1600x1200 for ABRIS and SKaval display Sorry cannot post picture while i am at work :) Thanks Mithandra

OMG they also have HAWKS listed on the site. Now that is a joke sim. Mithandra

I would also like to see the apache AH-64 since there has already been an A-10 in LOMAC. The co-op play in the same heli really interests me. Thanks Mothandta

I think I am more looking forward to the apache with co-op play in the same chopper :) if i want to play an A-10 i will load Lock-On for that :)

can the 15 year olds actually read :)

yes it must be a typo as as far as I know its being released in reltail shops soon, although when i asked in Game in the UK they didn't even have it listed on the release schedule.

also here is a picture of my setup. thanks Mithandra

Great - solved the problem, not sure what i was doing but its all working now, I am running the phantom monitor exe also which works great.

ok still having problems getting anything to display on my second monitor. As far as I am aware you plus the width of both your screens right? so my main screen is 1920 and my second screen is 1600 so thats 1920 + 1600 = 3520 this still doesnt work for me when i enter this in the main file appart from showing the game over 2 screens. I read something about choosing something in the Nvidia option, i have had a look through the options but have not been able to see anything. Any help with this would be appreciated. thanks Mithandra

Hi All, I am having issues getting the Abris and the Shkval display on my external screen. This is what i have: primary display = 1920 x 1200 secondary display to the right of main display 1600 x 1200 i have adjusted the options.alu file at the bottom to this ["effects"] = 3, ["lights"] = 2, ["haze"] = 1, ["terrPrld"] = "20", ["height"] = 1200, ["resolution"] = "1920x1200", ["civTraffic"] = 0, ["width"] = 3520, ----- i got this by adding the with of both displays together i then have created a file in my monitorsetup directory called mydisplay.alu Description = 'Shkval on the left monitor,ABRIS on the right and camera on the center' Viewports = { Center = { x = screen.width / 3; y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = screen.aspect / 3; } } Shkval = { x = 1920; y = 1200; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; } ABRIS = { x = 2720; y = 1200; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; } nothing is displaying on the second screen, all i seem to manage to do it to stretch the game ove 2 monitors, which in essence looks nice but not what i want. does anyone have similar resolutions that I am using and can post their config or offer advice on what i am doing wrong please? thanks Mithandra

Dual View help needed please Hi Guys I have just put in place my other monitor I have 2 monitors main monitor is (1920 x 1200) second monitor which is on the right is (1600 x 1200) I jsut cannot get the ABRIS or the SCAVAL to display on the fight monitor, all i get is the game stretched across 2 screens. Running Windows 7 with the Nvdia drivers. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Mithandra my options.lua file: options = { ["views"] = { ["cockpit"] = { ["mirrors"] = false, ["reflections"] = false, ["avionics"] = 3, ["russianHud"] = false, }, -- end of ["cockpit"] }, -- end of ["views"] ["difficulty"] = { ["padlock"] = false, ["easyRadar"] = false, ["enemies"] = true, ["setGlobal"] = false, ["immortal"] = false, ["geffect"] = "realistic", ["easyFlight"] = false, ["permitCrash"] = false, ["radio"] = false, ["tips"] = true, ["fuel"] = false, ["aftSwitching"] = false, ["cockpitLanguage"] = "english", ["units"] = "imperial", ["externalViews"] = true, ["hud"] = false, ["myPlane"] = true, ["iconsTheme"] = "nato", ["map"] = true, ["weapons"] = false, ["allies"] = true, ["labels"] = true, }, -- end of ["difficulty"] ["audio"] = { ["wind"] = 100, ["radio"] = 100, ["musicEn"] = false, ["engines"] = 100, ["soundEn"] = true, ["effects"] = 100, ["music"] = 50, ["radioSpeech"] = true, ["warnings"] = 100, ["volume"] = 100, ["inCockpit"] = 100, ["mech"] = 100, ["subtitles"] = true, ["gui"] = 50, }, -- end of ["audio"] ["graphics"] = { ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "shkval+camera", ["color"] = "32", ["heatBlr"] = 1, ["scenes"] = "high", ["water"] = 3, ["fullScreen"] = false, ["visibRange"] = "High", ["aspect"] = 3.201, ["textures"] = 2, ["shadows"] = 3, ["display_mode"] = { ["avi"] = { ["bpp"] = 32, ["resolution"] = "640x480", ["full_screen"] = false, ["aspect"] = 1.333333333, ["height"] = 480, ["width"] = 640, }, -- end of ["avi"] }, -- end of ["display_mode"] ["effects"] = 3, ["lights"] = 2, ["haze"] = 1, ["terrPrld"] = "20", ["height"] = 1200, ["resolution"] = "1920x1200", ["civTraffic"] = 0, ["width"] = 5120, }, -- end of ["graphics"] } -- end of options my Shkval+Camera file: Description = 'Shkval on the left monitor, camera on the right' Viewports = { Center = { x = 1600; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1200; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = screen.aspect / 2; } } Shkval = { x = 4320; y = 0; width = 800; height = 1200/2; } ABRIS = { x = 3520; y = 0; width = 800; height = 1200; } x = 0; y = 0; width = screen.width / 2; height = screen.height; }

ok i think i have fixed this one editing the shortcut from the main menu i added the switch -no-sandbox to the end of the line, which seems to have sorted this. thanks Mithandra
