Hi Just got into this sim I got it on Steam and it runs fine, the only problem is that the rotor sound in cockpit only seem to sound pulling back on the stick aggressively etc, when I look at videos on YouTube the blades can be heard quite clearly. Have moved the sliders in setup but doesn't seem to help, is there a fix for this? Thanks

That seems to of fixed it thanks, thought it was going to be a long night!! Again thanks for the quick response

Hi all Just installed a new Radeon 5850 graphics card and now having problems I didn’t get with a Nvida card If I select a mission the screen will lock up, when I get back to the desktop this error message is displayed Error ..\blackshark\modules\me_openfile.lua:227:bad argument#1to output (./data/scripts/temp_options.lua: Permition denied) Stack traceback: ->stack: \ blackshark\modules\me_openfile.lua:227 in func: save PathInFile ->stack: \ blackshark\modules\me_openfile.lua:376 in func: show ->stack: \ blackshark\modules\me_openfile.lua:268 in func: func ->stack: ..\luagui5\Widegt.lua in line 266 in func: ->stack .\Blackshark\BlackShark.lua in line 717 in func: I don’t seem to have any Crash or Error files in the temp folder, I have reinstalled BS and applied the patch but still get the same problem Any help would be appreciated John DxDiag.txt

Thanks for that Do I have to us ALT + C all the time or can you set this mode as default 　

Hi all Is there any way of altering the realism of the weapons and control in the sim other than the game avionics and flight mode? I am still learning and need things simplifying but these seem to give all or nothing. I particularly don’t like the big red radar screen overlaid in all views can this be removed?

Hi all Just got trackIR after taking your advice, all I can say is thanks its brilliant!!! Can’t believe it takes so little time to set-up and how affective it is. Just one thing though how do you use the mouse to point and click cockpit buttons etc when using trackIR, is this possible? Thanks again John :)

What am I missing with trackIR? I get the fact that if you look to the left you look to the left in the cockpit and so on but if you look left aren't you looking away from the monitor? I can't see this not being uncomfortable, can someone talk me into getting one please? (I love gadgets :lol:) regards John

Warbird 242 that sounds encouraging are you run windows XP or Vista? Have you done any tweaks etc etc EtherealN I’ll try this software when I get back on my machine but will probably replace the motherboard as well. That way I’m not restricted on the processor I can use, I was thinking of getting a board with 2 x PCI e slots anyway but you’ve put me off that idea, if it won’t make much difference then I could replace the graphics card later for a higher spec, the card I have at the moment is the best card I could get that would fit on to my motherboard (they don’t take into consideration the fact that these new cards have to fit onto a motherboard then into a computer case when they make them). So what am I looking for? is it as simple as the more cores and highest clock speed I can afford, or is there anything else to conceder i.e. dose the socket type make a difference to performance. I have always used intel in the past don’t really know why!! Could be talked into AMD Thanks for that in-depth reply by the way its much appreciated John

Thanks a lot lads for all your help, it seems to be normal form buy a new game need a new computer!!!! I seem to run FSX ok and lock-on fly’s along brilliantly, I can get the sim to run ok if I set the graphics and so on to minimum but that doesn’t cut it with me!! I like eye candy. I admit the processor is out of date but don’t think its a P4, system info calls them Processor x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 4 GenuineIntel ~2999 Mhz Processor x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 4 GenuineIntel ~2999 Mhz I’ve lost touch with processors so could you recommend one that will give me a worthwhile boost for my money, there seems to be lots to choose from nowadays not as simple as P4 2.5 Gig or P4 3Gig, also why all the different socket types? I would also get a board to suite wouldn’t bother trying to replace the processor on its own. Also what advantages are there of strapping two graphics cards together? Is it worth the new card and board with two PCIe Slots? Once again thanks for the help

I hope someone can help me get the best from this game!! I seem to be getting low frame rate / performance with my setup even with medium to low settings. Having read lots of comments on this site I think I should be getting better but being new to this I don’t understand most of it. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can get the best performance possible? Things I’m having problems with How do you see your frame rate? Looked at altering Black Shark LUA file as suggested in one article but can’t open it. What is DCS Max I read you can only use the duel processor if using Vista but I have also read that DCS Max can do this Any info would be appreciated Ta Spec P4 3Gig D Processor NVIDA 9800GT Graphics 4Gig RAM
