  1. Then how do you engage heading hold? I had no idea you could do that. I thought that was just a system simplification in the settings.
  2. If I were to bet, Id say pitch, roll, and yaw in degrees attitude.
  3. The SAS works in conjunction with trim. Unlike in the Huey, you have two sets of trim in the Mi-8. Im not too familiar with the autopilot, but I do know that the SAS controls the pitch, roll, and yaw of the aircraft. You have the basic trim button, and you have a trim hat that does the finer trim adjustments. The difference is that in the Huey, you have to hold your stick in order to keep a stable hover, while you can fine tune the Mi-8 so well, all you need to do is keep your feet on the anti torque pedals to keep heading. I have my hat switch for the SAS trim functions. Keep in mind that the rotary knobs on the pedestal only turn left and right, so you have to do some trial and error to get it right if you want to map it to your stick. Mine works just as it should in an aircraft - up for nose down, down for nose up, left for left wing down, right for right wing down.
  4. The one thing you should always pay attention to is your blade angle. In the Huey, the torque meter tells you how much pressure it takes to lift off the ground - in the 8, its blade angle. The dynamics are the same.
  5. Looking for a new squadron to fly with. Ive the most time in the Huey, but also time in the Mi-8, Ka-50, any FC3 aircraft, and A-10C. I "sometimes" fly the Mustang as well. Any great active groups that I could possibly look into joining?
  6. I just redid all of my stuff, and wound up with an extra 16 bucks. Too bad I cant use it all for some reason.
  7. I bought FC3 within 2 days of it released, I got the full discount for it.
  8. Exactly what I was talking about. Either that, but hopefully you can shim yours nice and straight. Honestly I wouldnt go with the base on the floor unless the shaft could clear the chair I sit in, else the throw in the stick is just too great for me.
  9. One big idea thats been floating around is to use retaining springs on all 4 corners of the base attached to the stick, which would center it completely. Im at a loss looking at how to resolve this one...but its an idea. Maybe shim the upper base?
  10. Any chance for a template?
  11. Squad mission from a while ago - Bad Day for Charlie
  12. I get this bug as well, but to correct it, I just start from scratch. I turn the inverter off, the main generator, battery, and reset the hydraulics and other stuff. Basically, I just shut the aircraft off and just restart.
  13. He still used it.
  14. probably because of the 70% discount coupon, correct me if Im wrong...
  15. Im gonna have to redo it soon, its a bit outdated now. My second one too...Thanks anyways!
  16. $44 bucks off next module, PLUS...I still have my 70% off discount coupon. Too bad about the MiG-21, I would have bought the shit out of that thing.
  17. Im gonna shamelessly plug one of my tutorials here if I may. Also, a famous quote from George Carlin that also applies here - "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, man...lots of practice." QINyWv8OzyE
  18. What do you mean squashed?
  19. got any extra strength TP and a plunger?
  20. I apologize..been doped up on percocets the last few days recovering from surgery.
  21. SO how do we register the previously purchased products? And furthermore, how about DCS Black Shark 1 & DCS Black Shark upgrade? Guess this is a good or bad time to say I own -all- of the modules (including the full Ver 2 BS)
  22. So if we've bought all of the modules prior to this sale, does this or does this not apply to us?
  23. Not to be a pedantic ass or nuttin' but how come there arent any mirages in that desert of yours? How come you havent done this yet??? How dare you. :joystick:
  24. Couple questions- would this come as-is shown in the first picture? And would you ship to the US?
  25. I use nvidia surround. To get the correct aspect ratio, you divide your width by your height, and that number will be what you should select in your aspect ratio. Mine is 5.33333. The outboard monitors look distorted, and thats a graphics engine rendering issue, and it will look like that. BF3 is the only game Ive seen that actually renders those resolutions without any distortion. In cockpit it looks distorted like this external it looks like this I think the monitors should be curved towards the viewer in order to get that, its more of a perspective render than anything. As for my FOV, with an exception of the Mi-8, I always zoom all the way out...it just seems natural that way.
