Can't wait to fly the Huey I sure am going to miss having a moving map though. Have to adjust to navigation, among other things I am sure. I like the rumors about muticrew, has there been any more details about multicrew? Anyone else get duped into Whirlwind over Veitnam years ago, what a horrible unfinished peice of junk that was. Can't wait for this, thank you ED, I love you!

Any other profile soft besides SST for X52?
Toast replied to red2112's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
I don't know of other software to use. I do know that some people have programed everything in game and not use sst at all. so that is one option. You are not the only one to have trouble with SST. I have had tons of crashes and headaches. What finally worked for me to be stable was before I load a profile I launch task manager and go to services and disable saitek directOutput, that was what was messing mine up. Other people have had have to go to profile and make sure enable clutch is not checked. Hope you get it sorted out I just wanted to let you know you are not the only one and I am sure others will have suggestions. -
Not able to control all my Wingmen in BS2 World...

That worked, thanks Nate! -

Toast replied to Gunnergolly's topic in Bugs and Problems
Ok now I have an even worse problem, my communication menu will not come up at all, the default key \ will not do anything now. Edit, ok so I think I see what Joy was saying, I need to select the local freq. Too bad that page was not included in my printed manual from like 2009. I will give that a try I tired to look up what other switches needed to be selected but I was not able to find that in the manual. I looked in the most up to date version as well. Ok off to try it! -

Thanks Nate and Joy I will give that a try -
Not able to control all my Wingmen in BS2 World...
Toast replied to Gunnergolly's topic in Bugs and Problems
I came here to post about this as well, good to see I am not the only one. Not being able to use the wingman to recon is a huge issue. I will try to turn easy communications off. What does that do anyway? -
I uninstalled everything including previous standalone versions then I deleted ED folder and user/saved games/dcs folder then a fresh install of DSW world and the BS 2 mod. That worked! I had BS 1 but when BS 2 came out I bought the full version to support ED and this time it paid off since I didn't have to do the BS1 to BS2 thing. This did cost me an activation, but I did not deactivate prior to uninstall. Hope this helps!

I seem to be having this same problem. I am going to try a fresh install.

Thanks EtherealN, I was looking through my records and I solved the mystery! I bought it from direct2drive. I will get my serial number from them! /facepalm

It must have been in 2009 when I purchased Black Shark, and I must have used a different Username although I am sure it was the same email. Because my purchase of Black Shark 1 does not show on my profile. I could never log into that username so at some point I needed to log into the site so I created a new username. My harddrive crashed and I had to reformat and I lost everything. I wanted to get to flying again I could not prove I owned BS1 and I wanted to support ED so I bought the standalone BS2 under my new username. But my old system just cant handle it. I am running XP 32 Bit Intel Core 2 6300 @ 1.86GHz with 3.00 GB of RAM and a Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT I was getting frequent crashs and items in the cockpit like switchs, shkval, abris map, were disappearing. I followed Nate_IRL's advice and did the 3GB tweek, got new video card drivers, direct x, c++ patch, did a fresh install of BS2 twice and that sis seem to help some, I ran some missions and really love the new ATC and new AI is so much better. but I am still NOT able to run the sim consistently on this machine. I read the bugs forum and this seems to just be a result of my system being 32 bit and outdated and not up to running BS2. My hardware just seems too old. I hope to get a new system soon that will be up to the recommended specs for BS2. In the mean time I would really like to play Black Shark 1. I don't know my original log in that I used to buy Black Shark 1. I entered a ticket in the hopes that since I just purchased Black Shark 2 but was not able to run it that they would provide me with a serial number for Black Shark 1. Do you know how they could verify that I did indeed purchase Black Shark 1 back in 2009? I know it is the holidays and they are backed up I entered my ticket 2 days ago and I was just curious how long you think the wait may be? Do you think they will be willing to help me in this situation? What can I provide that will help them? I love ED and this community, you guys are the best, thanks for any help you can provide.

I have been having crashes in Black Shark 2 and I wanted to follow the stickies and post properly. I saw the sticky that said a .crash file will be generated in your games Ka-50/temp folder. It seems to the folders are now different and I need help finding this .crash file I don't have a KA-50 folder anymore as far as i can see. I have the Black Shark 2 stand alone version not the upgrade. I have C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS Black Shark 2 Thanks and I hope that with help I can get these crashes to stop. I will do a proper post with my specs and the crash logs later once I find out where to find the .crash file.

Thanks for all your hard work. I can't wait! -
Thanks Dragon. I knew most of this, but turning off the blue lights to reduce the hud glare further is a very nice tip, as well as turning down the abris brightness which I never thought to do.

VATSIM is another group that performs virtual ATC for MSFS, X-Plane. Website vatsim.net They provide text and voice services. The Controller makes text macros. There is a radar client and an freeware program Squakbox or FSinn that the pilots use to set squawkcodes ect. I am busy with the Black Shark Academy, but after I get out I would love to run a tower.

As tempting as "ur is the glory" sounds, I think I will pass. However, thank you, for the entertaining posts.

Yes Frazers tweak guide is awesome, make sure you read the whole thread as I think there are some little things here and there you may miss otherwise. Welcome to the addiction!

Thanks for the news Wags. I am excited as everyone else. Perhaps we can be productive while we wait and think of how we will be able to coordinate with the fixed wing guys. Any ideas? I have heard of using smoke rockets to mark targets. Are there any aircraft that can share the datalink with the shark? (I doubt it but wouldn't that be cool?) So if not, how will we communicate target info. I know you can hit self coord and get your cooridantes then give range and heading info to target, or via visual refference to a known point. (North west of the comms tower.) Any other ideas?

Wow that would be so cool to play on a wrap around screen like that! I wonder how much it would cost to set something like that up.
