  1. I reversed it so I pull to increase collective, Did that in DI's Hind aswell Staffan
  2. No Problem, I have also seen the game at the local Gamestop, unfortunately he can't sell them (He's a Fifa geek) And I enjoy the game hugely myself so if I can even do a little then I have done some! Staffan
  3. It is very cheap here in Denmark but prices vary from 259,- DKK to 349,95 DKK. I had to fight an uphill battle with the multimedia superviser in the store I work to be allowed to get the game for the shelves (sims are not underrated by retailers here, they aren't rated) originally I was asked to demand 399,95DKK for BS but I managed to get the price down to 279,95 DKK and still make a profit (The curse of having to go through a local distributor) Staffan
  4. I never received any ameil regarding shipping, but I din receive the rather more important manual, so no need to worry bumfire Staffan
  5. Well aren't we a tease today!!! Sounds really good, still just got my wife her first sticktime in DCS:BS so No rush with the A-10C module :smartass: Staffan
  6. It does, but both railings and antannae are "laid down" when there's flight operationg ongoing, even the flight deck of a frigate is a busy place hence the need for railings Staffan
  7. I've spotted DCS:BS in the Valby Gamespot, in Betafon near Vesterport, Also the DVD version is available from komplett.dk and We have a few left at Arnold Busck in Valby. Staffan
  8. Got mine this morning curtesy of PostDanmark. Brought it with me to work so I had an excuse to not use my breaks for anything workrelated. Definetely well worth the £19.99 (BTW ordered mine from the Fighter collection). Now I'm waiting for my new 24" minutor and my wife's X52. Guess I have to get Track IR 5 Pro sometime soon, that way the wife can get the TIR4 I already have. And I guess then it will be over with this kind of purchasing stuff, because of the child expected november 14th Staffan
  9. Do you have the stick in a USB port in the computer or in a hub, if hub use device manager to make sure that Windows 7 doesn't turn off power to the hub to save power (Had this issue myself and just unchecking that power save function did the trick) Staffan
  10. Just ordered a copy, not that expensive, and I have a one week vacation starting this sunday, so with a little luck I will get my copy in the middle of next week. Will be good as a supplement to the russian DL version, the UK DL version and the two hardcopies I bought at work for me and the wife Staffan
  11. Fortunately I have a wife that shares many of my hobbies, she also have black shark (though she is waiting for me to give her that pesky X52 as a gift!!), she also builds scale models (were both members of IPMS Denmark), she reads about history, and she also plays tabletop wargames, on top of that she pregnant with our first child. What more can a man wish for? Staffan
  12. Voted for the Hog, Mainly because it is one all time favourite of mine. I'm eager to try this new "electric" Hog A lot of cockpit changes over the "A" So I'm in Hog heaven! Staffan
  13. Great utility Skypat, it nullified the Launcher error I used to get very often on Windows 7. Thanks rep inbound! Staffan
  14. That did it for me. Had the same issues for a while Staffan
  15. Congrats, well deserved. I have a hunch this could be a repeat cause for celebration Staffan
  16. 3-3-5 here, works fine so far as a preemptive program. Staffan
  17. Nope one of my own, trying to fiddle with triggers Staffan
  18. Noon, getting ready for a training flight with our hosts, russian army aviation, the mission is for a one ship formation (Kamov only did build 20 of these good hardhitting aircraft) to fly up the coast on the Black sea, then make a dash over some small seaside towns, followed by a return flight over the sea, loadout for the flight was 1450 litres of fuel and full cannon and flare stores, wing pylons empty. I strapped myself into the now familiar helicopter, and my ground captain gave my the usual briefing on the quirks I had to handle. starting the KA-50 has become second nature and is now done without groundpower, I was a bit anxious to be this close to the georgian border after the last conflict here earlier this year. Tower gave me clearance to turn the engines and I got the beast started, having checked the map and done my preflight I got permission to take off and continue as per flightplan, I turned out over the sea and looked around, then programmed my UV-26 flare dispenser to the standard (for me) programme 3-3-5 (3 flares in 3 cycles with a 5 second interval) I then scanned the sky and the ground to my south... was that a flash on land... Definetely I spotted a smoketrail heading my way fast and started pumping out flares and taking evasive action, the KA-50 has a huge power surplus so that missile streaked beneath me and detonated about 200 meters in front of my ride. Then I got a radio message "Mya'shoko 501, enemy ground units have crossed the border in your sector, abort mission, return to base and arm up, then find and engage the enemy units". I went low and slow to home plate, then landed and turned my radio to ground frq. asking for an immediate anti-tank load which was granted and mounted on my helicopter very quickly. Taking off again I head out to sea, still scanning the ground and looking for movements inland, at a range of 8 km the enemy SAM vehicle launch on me again. the missile plunging into the Black sea as I perform evasive maneuvers, I turn on my Shkval TV sensor and find the enemy unit, range is down to 6 km and I get a positive ID on an SA-8 SAM vehicle, I flip my master arm and arm my Vikhr Anti armour missiles, then locking him up and firing a weapon that thunders downrange, it takes less than 10 seconds and the SAM is no more, behind him is the distinctive shape of a ZSU 23-4 I shoot at him immediately and gets another kill. in front of the AD vehicles are a column of 4 T-72 tanks which I destroy fairly easy, making sure to stay out of their engagement zone. Having killed the last tank (and I will admit sweating profusely) I turn for base, Having landed and shut down the helicopter the base commander came and told me that for an imperialist swine I did ok! I know that the training here with the KA-50 is not sanctioned to be live fire nor in a warzone I will claim that the georgian SAM vehicle opened up on me while still being inside georgian territory, I was not released to engage before they crossed the border. I do hope this has no impact on my further career! (originally posted on the Vnavy forums) Staffan
  19. 22 inch Samsung syncmaster 2032BW 1680x1050 res Staffan
  20. Sim, and a fair amount of trial and error, the oldshool flying lessons :D Staffan
  21. Thank you Jim, had completely forgotten about that Staffan
  22. Indeed this title will mark the beginning of a new interest in highly detailed combat sims, I think the team has actually been impressive considering all the bitching and moaning from the potential buyers, I have noticed that some of the most outspoken against this tithe have bought it (I'm sure Groove has an idea who I'm talking about) and that must show the potential and the expectations. Staffan
  23. 65-35 in favor of the helicopters, and quite frankly not since Janes LB2 has there been anything I was this pleasantly surprised with. Looking forward to the Mi-24 and the AH-64A now Staffan
  24. BoneDust, A few of my squadmates over at VNavy.com have given it a go, and I am currently in the process of assembling a squadron for this community http://www.vnavy.com. They reported that the event had been good, no issues, good flow of data (one member in Hawaii the other in Vermont) Staffan
  25. Either use the advice by Groove or press the lock key and move the cursor away from the target Staffan
