Darn... Thanks!

Do I always need the CD in the drive to Play BS or is there a problem after my English 1.01 patch install?

Is it possible to use the X45's "Modes" functions as mapped via the Black Shark HOTAS Setup utility or can it only be used via an external Saitek Profile? Like using: Mode 1 for NAV Mode 2 for Combat Mode 3 for Emergency I've been able to use the Pinkie Switch as a "Shift" command but was wondering about the above as well. THANKS!

This is my new shortcut post patch... "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\Launcher.exe" --console And here's the error message: BlackShark: Launcher.exe - No Disk Does this mean after the 1.01c Patch that I now need the disk in CD drive everytime I intend to play BS? Could it be a VISTA 64 issue? Dang I wich I remembered what the previous "FIX" was...

Nope... I remember having this problem before and it seemed to be related to the Language/English verion I believe which required me to possibly remove a file????

I had to reinstall BS after a critical HDD Failure requiring a reformat. I just installed the 1.01c patch over my vanilla 1.00 CD copy. Now, everytime I start BS I'm getting an error that says "No CD Found" or something along those lines. What do I have to do to fix this issue. Thanks!

Use the Joystick "Pinkie Switch" as a "MODIFIER" then you can double your buttons up. :) With the "MODIFIER" set (pinkie switch depressed) you can use the stick Hat normally used for views for Shval slewing or zoom/target gate size (my current setup). I use the 4-way Hat on the Throttle for slewing ShKval. On the real heli it's on the stick but I find that I'm using the stick to micro steer and it's a pain to use the Hat on stick while doing so. Your can reverse throttle Axis in the "Axis Tune" menu. I also suggest setting a slight deadzone for the cyclic stick and adding a slight positve "s" curve for exponential (makes stick less touchy near center). Check the BS Manual as it shows/lists the real control/button layout on the cyclic and collective, use it as a guide and modify to your tastes from there. With the "MODIFIER" set a whole new world of possibile button setups arises. ;)

Yes, but who cares about grass blades being modelled when your in an A-10 screaming along at 600 meters AGL and at 180 kts (A-10, ED Screens). I'd rather prefer to see the grass blades when I'm hovering just a few meters high. Ground terrain is most important when your low and slow as in a Heli Sim. :smilewink:

I've tried trimming after landing but your heli will only slide in one predetermined direction each and every single time (to the right and slightly back). Therefore I don't believe it's a trim issue as you would slide in multiple directions, each time you land, depending on your trim. I tired trimming after touchdown, canceled AH and applied wheelbrakes/parkingbrakes but it still happens albet very slowly. I'm dead on when landing on Helipads in FARPS (never slide nor roll) and always retrim, cancel AH and apply wheelbrakes and parking brakes but there is definately a problem with the Frigates. Also with the engines/rotors completely OFF and STOPPED and parkingbrakes ON why does the Heli always slowly slide to the right and rearward eventually falling right off the ship?

Nope, Wheel Brakes doesn't help at all unfortunately. :( I keep sliding right off the deck after making a spot landing in the "Courier" Mission.

Everytime I land on a Frigate Heli Pad my Heli immediately starts sliding off into the water (to the right and back). Is this an issue with landing on Frigates in this game and if so is there any way to "STICK" these landings and stay put?

O.K. Guess I go the route of, "if it ain't Broke". :thumbup: B.T.W. Anyone know if there are going to be any more future patches for this title or is it officially done now that the A-10 is in the works?

:doh: Thanks!

I DL'ed and installed 1.0.1 patch as soon as it was released but realized that there is now a 1.0.1.a "hotfix" patch. I have and play the "English" version of BS so do I need to DL and install the "A" hotfix update patch? Also, can I play online without the "A" hotfix? Don't really want to install the hotfix if it messes with my game/controller configuration files as the 1.0.1 update did. ;)

Does this campaign "overwrite" the stock one?

Question? How do you get a "Mission Complete" for this one? I got both mission trigger messages after landing near the UAZ and then on the Frigate and finally landed at my Home airbase but never got the "Mission Complete" message? Is there a final "Mission Complete" message or do you get credit for sucessfully completing the mission after landing on the Frigate? THANKS!

You should set up the "Axis" commands in the HOTAS in-game configuration screen. I have the same problem with my X45 so I set up "2" variable on deadzone and added a slight "S" curve to the cyclic aileron and elevator response (adds "exponential"). Works much better at achieving what you are looking for.

DoH! :doh: Thanks

Anyone have a link to the COURIER mission? Coun't find it with the "search" function. THANKS!

Is there a mission with which to practice landing on the HeliPad of a Moving Frigate/Destroyer? I think I saw someone doing it on YouTube and thought it would make for an excellent "Advanced" Training Mission. :joystick:

I really like this mode but the Heli really bucks out of alignment throwing your aim way off due to the recoil.

I know but many of the missions I've been playing have many more than 6. How do you do this via the ABRIS exactly?

How the heck do you fly past the 6th nav/waypoint on your stored flightplan since the PVI-800 can only store 6? I know I can always navigate to airfield 2 but I couldn't find anything on navigating to waypoints, 7,8,9,10 etc...., either in producer's notes or the manual Any help would be greatly appreciated. :doh:

ok Thanks all!

Have any of you used the "Curves" Feature within the HOTAS Axis Settings to add exponential to the cyclic range of motion? I can't seem to figure the curves out. I'm guessing adding the curve closest to the neutral position would provide the necessary Expo. Does this sound correct? Thanks
