do wiper blades on the shkval camera work? wheres switch?

[silent one]

On the camera, Shkval, I seem to see wiper blades . is there a switch to make these work? I see a windscreen wiper switch but it doesnt effect the Shkval. Any clarification helpful.

[diveplane]

the switch is to the right of you in cockpit.

[Boberro]

Please read manual.

[ronht]

Actually, in the Russian download version flying in snow would black out the shkval and require you to operate the shkval wiper every once in a while to get a view back.

 

That does not appear to be working in the English download version. At least that's what I've seen so far.

thanks for the help guys, the ones who actually tried to help.to the others,apparently I have to scan a manual constantly for one obscure reference which isnt in the manuals index.If I could have found it in the manual I wouldnt have posted here. Duh. Thanks for that advice ., Never thought of reading the manual. And I cant ask for help in more than one place. That would be awful. hope someone can be as helpful for you in the future.

Get real.

Don't cause more work than needed.

[Boberro]

It is wrote in manual:

 

[silent one]

Thanks Boberro. Ive read the manual several times. I didnt say it wasnt in the manual I said it wasnt in the manuals index. As you know its a big manual and thats a very small note. I think I can be excused for overlooking it. I appreciate you showing me where to look :)

Didn't you post this same thing at SimHQ. Smells like trolling to me. If I wanted to post on 2 sites I'm going to. If you don't like it, don't respond. Simple. Now move on.

Says who? :D

I understand, sometimes I am rude - so sorry about this - but on forum there are so many questions which can be easily solved by reading part of manual or secion keys, and people when have problem first are writing new thread than read docs included with game :P

and people when have problem first are writing new thread than read docs included with game :P

 

Most likely becuase as seasoned gamers....

 

We realise that a lot of items are not described accurately or at all in some games.

 

Its a valid question and asking here is sometimes quicker than scouring a manual - the poster said they have already missed it once

 

It may be a way for a poster to get an answer to a question as well as introduce themselves to the communities.

 

 

Give him a break guys and be civil.:doh:

[xxvintersorgxx]

Another point is that the manual provides a lot of answers but also is vague or lost in translation. Having the "English Cockpit" on and having the manual describe everything by its Russian translation has already confused me to the point i get lost for 20 minutes trying to figure out what buttons to press. Sometimes it's just easier to ask.. I still am unsure I'm using the data link correctly heh

[sobek]

The manual is a pdf, pdfs feature search for keywords, no need to ponder through the manual yourself. If a bunch of keywords don't give you the wanted results, search the forum, then post if nothing turned up. No member with common sense will flame you if you say you couldn' find something about your problem in the manual and the forum.

[d0ppler]

I still am unsure I'm using the data link correctly heh

There are some very good tutorials for the data link in the training section in-game.

[xxvintersorgxx]

I've watched them, but the manual has multiple ways to designate targets. The way it is it seems you have to cage the shkval up to send the data.. seems a bit tedious.. anyways i don't mean to hijack the thread. I was just stating the manual is not always clear, and not always the easiest place to look for information

I'd rather read 10 crossposts than having a "forumpolice" like you in here!

 

The manuals is a mass to read and small notes are often hard to find when they are not indexed. Either help or just keep quiet.

This attitude serves in driving away senior forum members with lots of knowledge, because they get annoyed of all the redundant questions being asked, often easily avoidable by using the manual or forum search feature (yes, even you can search a pdf for a few keywords ;)), it's not asking too much for everybody to use the search feature, if you cannot find what you look for, (almost) everybody will be glad to help.

 

Btw. i know some die hard sim fora where the old-timers do not hesitate to flame newbies for not RTFM, be glad that this forum is not one of them.

If you had read the thread, you should have noticed that I was the one who answered his question first and gave him a hint where to find what he was searching before he started the whole thread again.

 

So I kindly ask you to overthink your rant.

Sorry, but after all these years i've seen enough bashing on people asking for help. Even if we can find our ways to solutions doesn't mean everyone else does it. People don't ask for help just for the fun you know :)

Again, sorry if i was mistaken.

Thats great you answered him. So you are upset he posted somewhere else? Oh my god. ITS HIS RIGHT. And to think you CHASTISED him here and CHASTISED HIM on the other thread makes this a personal attack and against forum rules and deserves mention to forum moderators.

Senior people on message boards should be mature enough to not bring out the finger useless flame and attack people for asking questions. WIth replies like this its a wonder anyone risks asking any question. The only other place i have seen worst replies to genuine questions is on Derek Smarts forums.

 

There is no need for such behavior like this. If you are mature memebers of this forum then bahave like one.

[Groove]

Asking a question on different forums is valid, at least for me.

 

Everybody, calm down please. People can ask whatever they want regarding Black Shark.

Well Bogus, just in case you didn't get it and to all the others who didn't get it and replied also in their short tempered mood:

 

Why is everybody upset?

 

What have I said?

Well here's a short review:

 

Another crosspost.

I hate it.

...

Especially when the question was already answered.

What does it mean?

It means that I personally don't like it when people ask questions on wich to answer you spend time, although the answer could easily be found by the asker himself, and then the same question is asked again by the the same person. That's it, not more not less. I didn't rant, I didn't ask for resolutions, I didn't insult anyone personally.

I didn't even disallow someone to do that or said that it was wrong.

I just said thatI hate it.

If some of you disagreed, you could have simply read on.

The reactions by some of the users here were short tempered and short viewing.

 

What's the result?

Nothing. It was just an impression of my personal opinion and also a hint directed to the one who asked, that he might choose the regular way to answer his question by searching the forums or the manual instead of asking the question in several forums. It also was an information for other users that on the answer to this thread was alsready worked in several forums on the internet.

 

What does it mean for you?

Nothing. I was just a random reply and could have hit any other user too who did that.

In the last time I remember a lot of threads that answered a question and a similar thread was opened by someone else shortly after the previous was just finished

So my post was just a reminder, so to say.

Not that we get another 15 threads asking how to setup the controller axis or endless threads about why rotor blades break.

 

Keep the forums slim and keep your creativity for mission and campagne editing or modmaking.

You see, some of you inculpated me falsely.

 

And that was my last statement about it from me at all.

Get back to topic.

 

Thank you for your attention.

If you lack patience for questions like these perhaps a sane course of action would be to simply ignore these threads?
