Ugly Five Zero

Ok, I discovered what the problem was... ice, its cold up in the mountains. Haven't actually killed myself through vortex stall yet.

:D Helo Noob is too kind! Horrible liability might be closer to the mark... The only ugly thing about my flying is the pained expression on my face when the KA-50 does something completely different to what I expected! But soon I hope that my flying lives up to the call sign :smilewink: maybe a year or 2.

Thanks guys, I guess for someone who knows almost nothing about flying a heli trying to add power is usually someones first, and probably last mistake in this kind of situation. Though the vortex wasn't what killed me, it was the loss of power... and forgetting that I could eject!

Hi everyone. Hopefully this is the right forum section. I just had a bit of a mishap while on my first combat mission... which if you watch this replay you will agree I'm not ready for! http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UGIM859W at the end, after entering a vortex stall I increased the collective (i assume too much) and I lost power, the master warning kicked off and the ekran was giving me warnings about the electric accumulator, and gearbox oil pressure. Would anyone be so kind as to watch this replay and try to identify exactly what happened? Feel free to fast forward to the end, as watching my inept attacks might be a little depressing! especially as the deadzones for the trim wheels I use to quckly move the camera aren't set and it all goes a bit wrong... Though if you feel like watching the whole thing then any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :thumbup: Thanks for your time, and good hunting!

Thanks Panzertard. At least for me the crash seems to be related only to newview, and renaming the folder appears to have fixed the problem entirely - that said I would like to find a more elegant way to fix the problem than disabling the view control for IL2... I actually found your thread when I was searching the forum before starting this one, unfortunately I cant think of a way to help you out - We are both using Windows 7 64 bit, and a saitek X52. The only thing with my installation of win7 is that I have enabled the 'super admin' account, as I was having problems with several programs which worked properly immediately afterwards: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/ I hope you get your problems sorted out soon, I'm loving BS - though I am still pretty awful at, it most of my flights go something like this: :huh: :joystick::pilotfly::joystick::doh::book:.... if that makes any sense.

I have indeed got about 10 crash files, here is the most recent: http://rapidshare.com/files/238654317/DCS-20090529-195307.crash.html It relates to newview, A program I use for IL2... I have renamed the newview folder and the problem goes away - unfortunately that means that everytime I want to fly IL2 I have to remember to change the folder name back again :( and the same for BS. Thanks for your suggestion, you nailed the problem right on the head.

Greetings everyone! I'm very new to BS, and consider me to be the rookiest of all rookies... The last Heli sim I played was Gunship 2000 on the Amiga 500 - so you can imagine how little I know about flying a helicopter :doh: - err.. yes, trimming thats the answer... etc. The reason for this thread is that after I end a mission (every mission - single player) the game always crashes - I can end the process and the GUI loads again - but I was wondering if there is a fix for this problem anyone knows about? I'm running a: Intel E5200 2gb RAM ATI HD 4850 currently on windows 7, but I have this exact same problem with XP - I read somewhere that the game crashes after missions with ATI cards? Though they were refering to this only being a problem in Vista. Thanks for your time.
