bought Black Shark today and only problems

[EtherealN]

maybe you have some real heli pilots allready for testing the flight model ..... if not, i was one in the german army aviation >>>> anti tank bo-105 pah.

 

Yeah, DCS:BS was developed in co-operation with Kamov and with input from Ka-50 pilots, as well as engineers that work on that engine type.

 

It is a real shame that you are having problems though - I really hope the patch does it or someone thinks of something. If a pilot has to give up his wings he should at least have something similar to do on the computer, and I am quite certain that you will be very pleased with the detail of the simulator if we can just get it to work on your machine.

sorry i look first page and still not see event viewer logs? can you put me link where is they if i m blind :).

[EtherealN]

second page

[Nasty]

yeah i see that but still , that is not event viewer log

 

this is pics what i mean

[EtherealN]

Doh, yeah. That would indeed be interesting to see.

[ShadowVonChadwick]

OK you know DCS.exe runs!!

 

Now go to install directory find Launcher.exe.....

Send to desktop as shortcut

Edit Start in parameters to look similar to attachment below

 

Quotation marks are as already mentioned by EtherealN due to the space in

\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50.

 

The reason I suggested to run Launcher with out --console and in a "Normal window" is so you can see what launcher.exe is doing in the "DOS Box" that will be visible ( or should be ). And it might give us more info about what is going on.

 

Yes I know its not DOS !

 

I suggest you set a standard rez for now, it will be windowed and wont take up to much space on your screen. Black Shark\Data\Scripts\options.lua . But must use Notepad++ (you will find it easy enough on web)

 

["graphics"] =

{

["multiMonitorSetup"] = "1camera",

["color"] = "32",

["heatBlr"] = 1,

["scenes"] = "high",

["water"] = 2,

["fullScreen"] = false, --needs to be false for now

["visibRange"] = "High",

["aspect"] = 1.3333333333333, --change this = 4/3

["textures"] = 2,

["shadows"] = 3,

["display_mode"] =

{

["avi"] =

{

["bpp"] = 32,

["resolution"] = "640x480",

["full_screen"] = false,

["aspect"] = 1.333333333,

["height"] = 480,

["width"] = 640,

}, -- end of ["avi"]

}, -- end of ["display_mode"]

["effects"] = 3,

["lights"] = 2,

["haze"] = 1,

["terrPrld"] = "20",

["height"] = 768, --change

["resolution"] = "1024x768", --dont bother with this

["civTraffic"] = 0,

["width"] = 1024, --change

}, -- end of ["graphics"]

 

 

Give it a go and see if you get any info in the command prompt window.

 

Only other thing I could think of is to copy lua-gui5.dll from FlamingCliffs to BlackShark ( remember to rename original BlackShark lau-gui5.dll )

 

Hope something helps....Shad

Preusse, Some thing else I just remembered, might not be relevent??

WGL or Wiggle is the windowing system interface to the Microsoft Windows implementation of the OpenGL specification. WGL is analogous to GLX, which is the X11 interface to OpenGL as well as CGL, which is the Mac OS X interface to OpenGL.

and what will this mean ?

dont undertand what you wanted to tell me :)

[EtherealN]

I'm not sure about Win7, but it should at least be similar to Vista, where you press Start, then right-click "Computer", click "manage", then find the Event viewer under "system tools". It as a bit cumbersome to use however.

Sorry it was a bit vague,,,,Your Mobility Radeon HD 4600 series onboard GPU is known to have problems with some Open GL applications which I believe the User Interface (Launcher.exe) uses.

 

This is the reason I suggested you copy "lua_gui5.dll" from FC2 to BlackShark. As it is called & used by Launcher.exe. As you know FC2 runs OK, I though it might be worth trying. Rember to rename or backup original.

You cant use "FC2" Launcher.exe

 

Have tested it here as those Screen Shots show.

 

Cheers

i think u find event viewer if u use windows help and type there event viewer. Or go my computer > control panel > use classis view > admistrave tools and there is windows logs.

 

That place u see all thinks what windows do so there MUST be error which cause crash and i think some one get idea why that crash

One of the apps mentioned was glxgears and a quick search.....

Microsoft Windows is not shipped with support for X, but many third-party implementations exist, both free and open source software such as Cygwin/X, Xming (free up to 6.9.0.31), Mocha X Server[3] and WeirdX; and proprietary products such as Xmanager, Exceed, MKS X/Server, Reflection X, X-Win32, and Xming.

 

 

Sorry its a long shot

 

PS. I know you will love Black shark & if we can get you in too a local Multi Player map you will love it. Just need to edit some settings e.g. joy stick.

Send me a copy of your options file for reference &/or corrections e.g. language

[JG11Preusse]

also copied lua.dll from fc2 to ka-50 ... no change, same error.

 

maybe have to copy some lua´s or dll´s :) ... no idea which

[Nasty]

weird yeah but do you try install that same drive example c:\ where windows is. Some games wont work other drive that where windows is.

 

and if that not help u clean all eventviewer logs and then start black shark and look all logs what happend.

 

Some why that crash some lua file but not sure if black shark need WINDOWS path to install folder.

you can easyle test first this

 

open cmd

write

path E:\Eagle Dynamics

or

E:\Eagle Dynamics\ka-50

or E:\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin

or E:\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable

 

Hope you got that work .

no need reboot you dont move no where via command box only type that there

 

 

that tell windows where is in this case black shark folder if some system need that and thats why not find lua files..

[JG11Preusse]

some news now.
