Simple! Cal it DCS: Black Shark. Then we would know what the subject was and DCS would continue to get their name remembered for when the next simulation comes out. Worth doing before someone else decides to run a parallel forum such as SOH.

What about it? Is it solely for Ka-50? If so let's change the name.

Is there (and if mot why not) a dedicated Ka50 forum.

Thanks- No problem. I assume the Flaming Cliffs 2 manual is not out yet as I was only able to buy the Black Shark one.

I read on the forum that this was available from Amazon. I oredered it but they told me that as I lived in Chile I could not have it. I suspect they think it's a game and as Chile has an unfortunate reputation for intellectual property theft they faer it will be copied- Well I have it on my computer when I downloaded Black Shark but it would be horrendously expensive to print it- Is there any country other than the US that sells it as I'm sure this is a govermental restriction and nothing to do with Amzon except probably their interpretation of US Customs restrictions. :mad::mad::mad:

I suspect you are right that it takes you to the next waypoint but it does change the thrust and sometimes the altitude. It also adjusts the flaps but you need to lower your landing gear yourself coming in to land. Also it seems you have to engage it beore you do the LAlt thingymijigs other wise you get taken out of NAV mode. I've searched the manual but what the manual really needs is an index of keywords so that you can jump to the appropriate page - a mammoth task I suspect because it is voluminous.

Can anyone explain to me exactly what the key A does and what it doesn't do. Imagiine my surprise when I went to get a coffee I found on my return the aircraft coming in for a pergect landin -albeit a slightly higher speed than recommended for touchdown. But I also know it will also fly me straight into mountains unless I take over.

Ignore my last message. I have tried disabling the desktop theme as well as checking the compatability box and it works for me on both BS and FC. Why did noone suggest this to me!!!!! Thanks anyway.

I had that problem exactly with both BS and FC There are five pages of suggestions as to how to resolve it at http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=53179 It is important to get max resolution on the menus so that you can see and use the lower buttons It has nothing to do with the Win7 task bar. I finally solved the problem by loading FSX at max resolution and I run the first FSX menu in the background (minimise it). Of course altermmatively you can operante the OK and Cancel buttons that you cannot see with the ENTER and the ESCAPE keys. However I have no idea what the appropriate key is for the EDIT button. Good luck.

No I tried that and it didn't work. I tried it because it soled problems that I had with both OFF (Over Flanders Fields) and also interestingly with TOW Kursk 1943.. However I have officially reorted the problem which luckily for me is resoved by having FSX menu running in the background. Thanks anyway.

You're absolutely right. The very first F15 mission is just that - an air to air missile and gun practice. With my screen set at 168 and poor eyesight I tensd to avois the fine print which as you can imagine can be quite embarassing. Duly grateful and properly embarassed. Thank you :thumbup:

OK that figures but then how do I practice what the videos have preached? Quick Start had you on the air and at the mercy of the enemy. How do I practise takeoffs and landings? There is no mission builder that would allow me to build appropriate missions - or is there? I could of course install my original FC and practice there.

All videos installed and working EXCEPT neither the pause nor the escape keys work. Neither P nor Pause nor S have any effect and the escape takes you back to the training menu. I'm flying with Win7 and FSX in the background so as to access menus in high resolution.

Did I metion that the problem is only with single player for both BS and FC. I should also add that running in XP mode doesn't help though it is necessary for Flanders Fields and TOT Kursk 1943.

I liked the idea of downloading the training videos seperately but am I right in thinking that you are unable to escape and take control? I'm assuming so even though access is via the game menus. If that is the case can we erase the voice over saying " at any time if you want to etc. etc."? Or is it my another fault on my computer that escape takes me straight back to the traing missions menu?
