Hi guys, can you guys direct me to some good training tutorial..(vids) that can help me with using the Shkval with locking on targets,how,when and best to select,lock and firing the rockets. Thanks for your help

so if I can see and choose the resolution (1920x1080) within the games options would I still need to make the changes in options.lua? windows 7 x64

I have a acer 24 wide screen monitor set at 1920x1080 (native) in my Nvidia panel...do you need to go into the graphics.cfg files of DCS and change the settings to match this or is it automatic? and if so where would I make the changes? thanks!

Hi, Does anyone have a list/definition of which each volume slider tab represents (in options) ofcourse some are self explanitory but others can be confusing? like which tab will lower just the in cockpit cannon volume, or if I want to hear the whapping of the blades more?.. also what does the "GUI" slider do? thanks

Hey guys, I'm getting 60 fps in game play on high settings and I know I can get higher but it seems like the game is limiting the fps to 60. what can I do to switch this limit off within game? also within graphics.cfg i have graphics set to =0 . Thanks

Hi, I need to ask you guys your opinions before I take the plunge in a new monitor. I would like to keep it under $500 otd 1. LED or LCD pros and cons? 1. can you really see the differance between a 2ms and 5ms rated monitor ? 2. Other than reflection glare of a glossy screen.. which is most preferred within the sim world glossy or non glare? I do notice that the glossy screens sure seems to bring out the clarity and vibrance on pictures but not sure if it will make the cockpit and gages and game look strange? my last monitor had anti glare screen. Thanks guys!

Oh, is an LED monitor better than LCD? thanks

Hey guys, I'm ready to upgrade to a new monitor and I was wondering about how BS will look on a widescreen monitor like a LCD 24" 16.9 aspect ratio? I'm more concern if the game fills in the complete screen or if there are black bars or if some of graphics are cutoff a bit. the res is 1920 x 1080 / 60Hz If you can give any pros and cons would be greatly apriciated since I want to buy it NOW. :D Thanks!

Where are the VAC profiles located? Hi, anyone know where the VAC profiles I've created located at in Black Shark? I need to transfer them and I can't seem to find them, Thanks in advance!

Hi, I was looking at maybe picking up something along this line..do you guys think this setup can handle BS on high settings? thanks This is from fry's ready to go sys. $1299 SPECIFICATIONS OPERATING SYSTEM • Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit - makes everyday tasks simple—and makes new things possible PROCESSOR • Intel® Core™ i7-920 Processor PROCESSOR SPEED • 2.66GHz CACHE (L2) • 1MB L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache with QPI Technology CHIPSET • Intel® X58 Express Chipset MEMORY • 9GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM memory (3x2048MB and 3x1024MB) (expandable to 24GB) HARD DRIVE • 1 Terabyte Serial ATA hard drive OPTICAL DRIVE(S) • SuperMulti DVD Burner with LightScribe Technology Write: 16x max DVD±R, 12x max DVD±R DL, 8x max DVD+RW, 6x max DVD-RW, 12x max DVD-RAM, 40x max CD-R, 32x max CD-RW Read: 16x max DVD-ROM, 40x max CD-ROM VIDEO GRAPHICS • NVIDIA Geforce GTX 260 graphics card with 1.8 GB dedicated graphics memory, DVI capabilities and support for Microsoft® DirectX® 10 NETWORK INTERFACE • 10/100/1000Base-T network interface WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY • Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n SOUND • High Definition Audio with up to 7.1 surround sound capabilities MEMORY SLOTS • 6 DIMM (240-pin, DDR3) (occupied) EXPANSION SLOTS • 1 PCI Express x1 (one available) • 1 PCI Express x4 (one available) • 2 PCI Express x16 (one available) EXPANSION BAYS • 2 external 5.25" (one available) • 1 external 3.5" (one available) • 2 internal 3.5" (one available) EXTERNAL PORTS • Front panel 15-in-1 memory card reader: supports SmartMedia, xD, MultiMedia Card, Secure Digital (SD), Mini Secure Digital, Compact Flash I, Compact Flash II, IBM Microdrive, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo, RSMMC, MMC Mobile, MMC+ • 4 USB 2.0 ports (Back) • 3 USB 2.0 ports (Front) • 1 FireWire® (IEEE 1394) port (Back) • 2 eSATA (Back) • Headphone; Microphone (Front) • Optical Audio Out; LAN; Microphone/Line-in/Line-out; Rear speaker-out; Side speaker out; Center (subwoofer) • DVI available on the graphics card Thanks

edit and moved....sorry

It's set at water=0

I know that when I enable full screen I get the most FPS, as of now I'm avg. 35fps on low settings with textures set to med. and 30fps on Medium settings and even lower if I disable full screen. I might sacrifice the tearing to keep the higher fps. Thanks

Hi guys, I've read up on most of threads relating to tearing but I cant seem to get rid of it...majority pointed me to forcing vsync to on in my Nvidia panel to stop it but this did not work. I've tried changing the maxfps in graphic.cfg file from 0,30,45,and 60fps and tearing is still there. I double check my monitor and it is refresh rate is 60hz. Is there anything else I could try or change to get rid of this tearing? Most of the tearing that I can easily see is tearing on the side cockpit struts when panning from left to right. I do remember once about a week ago I did make some changes within my Nvidia panel and got the tearing to stop for just a brief moment but I cant recall what the changes were or if it had anything to do with stopping the tearing.

Hey Fox, I'm new at using it but I do know that it does have a option with the trial version for push to talk feature.

Hi, I'm still in training and learning to taxi and fly which I'm getting the hang of it...but when observing my FPS (with all settings set to LOW and cockpit at 512) my FPS is avg. 25-30FPS and thats looking straigh ahead with cockpit in view. I notice if I turn my view to the left or right and looking out windoa with less cockpit in view or at higher altitude the FPS increases sometimes to 40-60 FPS. the 25-30 FPS average seems to be smooth enough (no jittering graphics) during the training exercises.. but my concern is that when I get into more detailed graphics during game play my FPS may drop and I may start getting that studdering effect. Is there anything I can tweak within my system to increase the FPS. btw can changing to a pci sound card help much? thanks for your input. I'm running Vista OS (using internal sound off board) 2.2 ghz duo core 3gb ram Nvidia GTS250 1g ram also running in background: Voice activated commands VAC TrackIR 5 saitek X52PRO

Is this easy to do? I'm running vista.

Thanks StrongHarm, i read your link about affinity and to tell you the truth this is way over my head to comprehend and attemp by myself without help... I'm running Vista with a dual core, 2.2 ghz 3mb mem, can these changes still help my case? I'm getting aprx. 25 FPS while hovering and taxing around base with a glitch here and there but at higher altitudes in open areas i've seen as high 50-60 fps. all this is on medium settings. note that I have not flown any missions or seen explosions or any performance draining graphics yet. Also will my performance drop when I use TRACKIR 5?

HI, I can't seem to find this in the manual or by searching but as I'm practicing auto hover technics... at the point when I toggle the Auto Hover button, is there a Light or something on the HUD that tells you that the Auto Hover is engaged? also does auto hover disengage if an input on the cyclic is given. thanks

Thanks got it!

sorry...where is it in the cockpit? oh and thanks for the reply!

Hey guys, Where is the Auto Hover Button? Thanks

I saw this (below) in the FAQ area and my setup is a HP duo core cpu running 2.2ghz 3g ram, gtx250,Vista OS. My question is, will this method work for my setup for better game performance and HOW do i set the affinity for DCS? Thanks Q: Does DCS: Black Shark take advantage of multi-core processors A: DCS: Black Shark uses a modified version of The Fighter Collection Simulation Engine (TFCSE), which was not originally designed to take advantage of multi-core processor technologies. Nevertheless, such systems do generally provide better game performance as a result of their native capabilities. 11/20/08 EDIT: You can try manually setting the core affinity for DCS to all of the CPU cores, which may boost your game performance. To do this, Alt-Tab out of a running mission, set the CPU affinity for DCS and Alt-Tab back in. You will have to do this every time you run the sim

I do notice from the key mapping list it has both listed? any ideas?

what is the diffferences between TRIM and TRIMMER and when would you most likely use one over the other and visversa? Thanks
