i know it will come, i know it will come

Now I agree with you there the thud would be fun. just to add my 2cents though for PvP fun bring out the old saber. hi speed hi g's gun only.

F4?!?!?! huh? No gun, have to ripple fire missle hoping one out of 4 will actually work and then... oops guess RTB. no thank you to the F4

hummm wonder if the dev team likes scotch?

be ta 6... be ta 6... be ta 6... BE TA 6... BE TA 6.... BE TA 6!!!

I downloaded the english version, but so some reason all the radio calls even with calling the tower is in russian. though I have an english cockpit and subtitles. any ideas?

Well that was the problem. thanks guys.

Hay did a search but didnt find the answer to this. been playing this solo for awhile and the AI is just driving me nuts so i thought I would try the multiplayer. I can get the program up and running and look around but there isnt anyone else online. its showing me 3 or 4 groups but noone is in any of them so is the online part of blackshark dead? or am i just missing something?

Yes had a target selected though when it would want to spin around it would loose the target. its not a regular problem just happend that one time. just trying to see what the issue was. had me stumped.

was at a full stop before I engaged auto hover and I would think if it was a wind issue the helicopter would turn to one direction not just spin around in a circle. or would it?

Ran across an odd problem the other day and havnt found a reason for it. thought you guys might know what was going on. had pull to a stop and enganged "auto hover" then turned on "turn to target" the helicopter started this slow yaw to the right that I had to keep fighting. tried couple of times to trim it out but it just kept on wanting to yaw right. checked the rudder and it was zeroed out so that wasnt it. after awhile of fighting it I just let it go to see if it was going to take me to a heading and it didnt just slow turn around in a circle and kept on going. tried turning alt hold auto hover and turn to target off and that stopped it. but when I turned them back on. it started wanted to do the circle again? anyone know whats going on with that?

try opening your notepad in admin mode that will allow you to be able to save alterations. though if you dont have anything there? i think your guy got lost.

are you running the game in admin mode?

Thanks, been looking all over for it

I take it in BS the logbook is hidden in the program somewhere?

Ive been looking for where the log is stored too cant seem to find it.

So anything new on the project? I too would be interested in seeing what you can come up with. how bout a section on Air-to-Air. been getting my butt kicked like crazy. ;)

diddo here on the trim reset on landing takes care of rolling around. also use it in flight if I accidentally hit the trim at an odd angle. makes it easier to smooth things back out if you dial in a bad setting.

So looks like the concession is to hide and let them go by and you have to go boresite and dogfight them. anyone know the detection range for hinds or other aircraft? at what point will they engage? also is there communication between the different AI units? if I shooting at a sa-6 will they call there buddies in the hinds? or are they all independent with no communication between the AI units?

I know this is going to be a rather lengthy answer and if there is already a how to for Air to Air and someone can send me a link I’d appreciate it. But heres my question and problem. Ive been doing the on the other side mission where you go over the mountain and have gotten killed 5 times in a row now. (its really driving me nuts) whats getting me is the hinds. The first few times ive tried this mission I got the message that I was under attack and that there were bandits but never did see them so just went pop and didn’t have a clue where the shots came from. On the 4th try i turned on the tags so I can see them which help. When I spot them coming I set AA and AA/HO and start trying to get them in the Shkval box which I just wasn’t able to do while moving so by the time they got close enough to just go gun sight it was too late and got ripped up. The last time I parked and tried to lock then with the Shkval I did manage to get one locked up and as soon as he got in range popped off a vickhrs, saw the missle hit and a nice little fire ball flash and like a little kids nightmare he just flew right on threw and kept on coming. So popped off a second vickhrs which took him down finally. But by then his buddy was on me and I was dead again uggg. Ok so that’s what ive been doing also been trying to use my wingman to take them out. First couple of time ive sent them to engage bandits the hinds shot all 3 of them down and then took me out. Ugggg On the 4th try I set them to cover me which caused them to scatter all over the place and they all got killed again. The last time I just left them on my sides and after I got killed they where nice enough to shoot down the remaining hind. So with all that being said my question is how do you spot/target/kill these guys? I could switch over to the game mode and it would be easy but whats the fun in that?

Its still too early to really know what happened and as all the film ive seen so far has been block by the trees of the last moments you cant really tell what happened. though I agree the low speed combined with low alt had a major factor. As far as the pilots they died doing what they loved. I just hope when it is my time I can go doing something I love as well. RIP

ok thanks for the info I hadnt really figured out what the flight director was ment for. so thats helpful. let me give that a try and see what results I get.

Ok this is somewhat embarrassing but thats how you learn. I uploaded a track of a straffing run I tried on the shooting range. hope you guys will take a look and give me some advice. haivng problems lining up targets. and smoothing out my flying. http://www.2shared.com/file/7485111/1dae93ac/Straferun_test.html any advice would be appricated. thanks

OK idoit wingman part #2 just did it to me. had 3 wingman and was camped out 4k from the target area and told them to cover me. and was steadly popping bad guys with missles. a 1 hind killed all 3 of my wingman and they never said a word. you know a nice like message like "2 IM GOING IN!!" or just a good old "AAAAAGGGG" nope not a peep. first I knew was the hind ripping my nice little bird with alot of holes. wasnt till afterward when I looked at the mission report i saw that, that one hind had killed all 3 of them by himself. uggg. so not only can they not fly stright they suck at self deffense. and ever worse at deffending me!!

ok have to disagree with you guys about the dumb wingman. dont thing there dumb I think they really are working for the otherside or at least is getting bribed. yesterday i was coming around the side of a mountain and pulling into a hover to check out the valley when my wingman was kind enough to fly into the side of me. riped off my left wing and started an engine fire. oh thanks for the help. must have been a glancing blow we were both still in the air so I figured hell just send him home. he quickly flew into the valley and was kind enough to show me where the AA was as missle popped up and turned my idoit friend into a smoking crater.
