Yeah thanks guys, I'll have to look into getting one of these. I was saving for a HOTAS as I only have a simple 3axis joystick, but now I do beleive I can survive with it for awhile longer :D

So how do you lock up landmarks (with the shkval) when you want to correct INU? (or do you not need actually lock the fixpoint?) Sorry, it's a little fuzzy in my memory and I dont have my flight manual at work...

Im pretty sure from the manual, producers notes videos, as well as ingame training missions (the one on startup) that you can have the electrical systems running prior to engine start. At least its done that way in the sources cited above. They also do not turn off the pumps after engine start. Wouldn't that stop the fuel from making it into the engine?

Hey guys, I've been watching the producers notes vids and have come to wonder how the producer tumbles his view around in the cockpit. So far, I've been using the mouse to move the view (but it can then be hard to press certain switches/buttons) or the little hat thingy on my joysticks also does the trick. However, in the videos, the producer seems to tumble his view in a very natural motion. Is there some kind of trick to this? Is he using those led hat thingies i've seen around? (either way, what are they called?) And lastly, what do you guys do for looking around in the cockpit? Cheers!

I don't beleive you can manually set the EGT, but Im still new with this ka-50. I do beleive turning on the anti-ice for the engines and rotor will increase the EGT, as well as running your engines in take off mode (lot's of collective). WP5 means waypoint5 and TGT1 is Target1, corresponding to the switches on ur pvi800 and RTE is route mode.

Hey guys, I just got this "game" not too long ago. Im really only getting started with it, but I love it so far. I have a little question regarding my trainning. I've managed to learn how to start the machine and basic flight maneuvers with the manual, internet vids and the training missions. I've typically loaded those training missions, and just take command of the chopper to have it idle and on the ground. As far as i've noticed, instant action puts me right in-flight. So basically, Im wondering if there are certain missions or options in the game to start cold at the airfield for free flight? And likewise, can i find missions that consist of a simple flight plan? (i.e. takeoff, go to point1, point2, point3, land) Or am I going to be stuck learning the mission editor on top of the game to create such missions for myself?
