When you're flying, how can we tell the wind direction in say the Su-25? What's the best way to find out? Cheers

Alt+F4 it's great!

This is the Aussie way ;) It's not about the money, it's about losing us to the other love - the computer. At the end of the day, I use my usual line "Honey, aren't you so glad I'm at home with you and not out at the pub drinking and gambling with my mates" :music_whistling:

I ended up editing my touchpal profile. So instead of having the left panel on the left (blocking some text), I put both left and right panels on the right hand side. Then moved the shkval to the top left. Therefore any overflow messages I can follow onto the shkval on the next screen. I would rather them both on one screen, but at least I can use it and actually see what's happening in a mission.

Yes and it kills the frame rate. It doesn't seem to output that fast with so much vertical res this is 1920x2280. This is more pixels too than 3200x1280 or in my case with touchpal I need even less width. Why can't we just specify the location of all dialogs to be on the main camera screen? There must be a way so hopefully in the next patch ED will fix it.

Thanks. Played it yesterday. Those SAMs are hard to find sometimes! Hiding between buildings and trees... I found a bunch of tanks and brdm's as well, do I need to destroy them?

I'm having the same problem. Even the default campaign, half the message appears on my left screen, then the right hand side of the message is hidden behind my touchpal on my other screen. How can I move the messages to the main camera screen only?

I believe we start from scratch. It's a new version using the DCS engine and DCS map. Maybe the cockpit mods like Ricardos might work, but missions won't and lots of other mods won't work. However while waiting for mods to port over, we could take DCS mods and apply them to FC2 I hope, anything not related to the Ka-50 that is. E.g. terrain mods.

Probably with 3 wingman since 1 AI wingman is only worth half a human wingman :)

Thank you EvilBivol!! Can't wait :thumbup:

Thanks Falcon. Do you think it would be completable in single player or too hard?

You mean what is this? It's replacement for background screens in multiplayer

Before shkval lean in with trackir or zoom in key. Then scan around in the zoomed view. You do lose gen sit aware but if you hover you can focus in one direction without too much issue. Even for ground targets I usually scan before bothering with shkval

It won't happen pretty fast. Flaming cliffs 2 is next, then A-10C. Both of these take up this year. After that the future's unknown. To obtain information on threats, use the target detection sight from the ka-50 pilot, the eyeball. It's development over millions of years has resulting in an unrivalled display resolution of the target area :lol: Being constructive now, it would be great if an AI ka-52 model could be added to flight groups and ordered to recce areas, then datalink them back to us.

If you have trackir, use HMS to track him and slave shkval to a spot just a bit in front of him. Line up the shkval in front of his flight path. Then lock as he flies into it. If you can't lock and it's on him, he's going too fast and you will damage your laser if you keep trying. Wait for him to turn toward or away from you, or slow down, then you can lock. Then only fire vikhrs if hes slowed down, or facing towards or away from you (or about to turn to that aspect). Fire from < 6.5km if you don't want to waste ammo, because the vikhr needs to do more movement there is higher miss probability at larger ranges. Vikhr range is your advantage, cannon is the hind and apache advantage, because they are dual seaters and their cannon has a larger turning circle.

I uses to have that setup. What are your 2 screen res? Attach your monitor config and options file

I've edited a profile for: 1920x1080 screen on the left for cockpit window. It will work for others but you have to fiddle with x/y of shkval/abris in the monitorconfig. 1280x1024 screen on the right for touchpal. All controls keep the same aspect, so there's a few gaps but I've kept it symmetrical. The two major benefits: 1. Your shkval is MUCH bigger and higher resolution, easier to pick those pesky manpads out 2. No need to click the button to hide the warnings to show shkval (I've removed ekran though, so it looks symetrical, but you can add it back easy) This doesn't contain all the images, only the modified ones, so install Gadroc's normal profile first, then overwrite files with this one. Put the attached rar file contents in your my documents\touchpal. Then use take the monitor.cfg to KA-50\Config\MonitorSetup and reference it appropriately in your KA-50\BlackShark\data\scripts\options.lua file. Note that since the shkval ends halfway across the right hand screen, you only need a "WIDTH" parameter in options.lua of 2950, instead of the full 3200. It's not much but that 250 pixel width will give you a few extra frames per second :smilewink: Smoky - this may help you as I wanted the same thing. Try this.

It's only $6! Just buy it and install both in the same directory. Then put all mods on.

Dragon made one of a night our squadron spent flying with his STP squadron: The video is "selectively captured" of just the interesting parts of the night, but I don't believe there is any heavy editing.

Ahh I assumed it didn't work with win7, I tested it before bothering with config just to see if it would open! I may try it again. One question though - do you think if I fiddle with the configuration files I could modify it to use a 1280x1024 size screen fully? Many thanks for the work you've done Gadroc Cheers

Did you put a touch overlay into the dell screen? Did it fit inside the bevel without any cutting of the plastic? I have a dell 17 inch, and I have heard of some monitors having the touch overlay too thick to fit between the glass and the front cover.. Cheers p.s. Which overlay did you purchase, and are you happy with it?

Thanks Grimes, What about touchpal, I assume it would have the same problem as touchbuddy? Cheers

Hi All, Does anyone know if touchbuddy works with DCS or LOMAC multiplayer? The virtual panel doesn't work for me because none of the servers allow lua export. Thanks

No not unusable. I'm only talking about mission design here.

I've set salvo size to 1 on my su-25 Now when I click the trigger why do all of my precious s13 exit my dispensors? In black shark they can be used in pairs quite successfully unlike the smaller s8s.
