Got 9 cars and the engine but they got me.:oops:

[Oberon]

You're not alone, IIRC a similar fate befell a 109 or 110 pilot during the BOB, strafed a train on the Kent Coast, the boiler exploded and the debris damaged the aircraft so much it had to crash land nearby.

Bummer. Did he live to tell the tale?

Thanks TF & Biggles

Just ordered it from Amazon. I have been waiting alonggggggg time for a new WW1 air sim. This looks great. :D


Again, Thanks a ton guys, you rock :rock:

Nice shots arclight.:up:

I myself learnt what it is like to be in a blackshark and have 10 cars explode right under you...:doh:

[Arclight]

Nothing like debris in the rotors to ruin your day. :yep:

Never overfly a target area, it's not just to avoid getting shot at. ;)

[Task Force]

My issue is keeping the thing steady to get a lock on the target...:yep:

[Arclight]

Trim often... no, more than often, constantly. Really, it flies itself. You can mantain a constant course, speed and altitude towards a target without any input, while staring down at the Skvahl display and locking targets. Engaging other helo's is a different story though. :doh:

Glad to be flying again. :yeah:

After Longbow 2, nothing ever felt right anymore. Patch should be out next month, iirc.

A10-C should be next, probably followed by AH64-A. I guess SU-25 after that. :hmmm:

I want the su 27:D
http://www.defensetech.org/images/Su-27-Flanker.jpg

[Arclight]

Me too. Question is just if it is declassified enough to get the level of fidelity ED wants for DCS. If not, it's not gonna be there. :(

[Raptor1]

The Su-27? It's ancient and half the world is using it. The Ka-50 is a lot more classified...

I hear they're making an A-10 sim now (Which I will buy, instantly)I used to have A-10 Cuba! That was fun moving mud with the "Hog"!

http://www.unigamesity.com/wp-content/uploads//2008/09/a10cuba.jpg

[Dowly]

Ah, A10 Cuba was great. :yeah:

[Arclight]

The Su-27? It's ancient and half the world is using it. The Ka-50 is a lot more classified...
Thing is, KA-50 doesn't have any radar, FLIR or fancy countermeasures/warning equipment, stuff that is more likely to be classified.

You sure KA-50 is still relatively classified? I doubt it to be honest, since ED won't do a playable model unless they have about all the information you can think of. They don't like filling blanks with guess-work for the DCS series. :hmmm:

[Oberon]

Aaah, Warthog missions are great fun, nothing like using Gods finger on some rusty T-72s :rock:

Oh, and Arclight, you should have seen me in Comanche vs Hokum, trying to find the switch to do something, I think it was one of the MFDs when I hear:

"Ejecting rotors..."

Random button pressing is never a good idea... :damn:

[Arclight]

That's why I'm glad I can just look around the cockpit and flick a switch. Once you're familiar with the lay-out, chances of accidently shutting down one of your engines greatly reduce. :)

I just pointed out that if something is classified about each of the aircraft, it would be the Hokum, it's much more modern and still used only by Russia.

[Task Force]

I think those guys made LOMAC and were part of the blackshark team I think...:hmmm:

[Raptor1]

Aye, but I heard LOMAC's realism was a bit lacking

[Task Force]

Yea, atleast they didnt slack off with blackshark though...:yep: pretty good training ingame vedios also...

[Arclight]

ED decided to focus on 1 aircraft at a time for very high detail/fidelity. LOMAC had multiple aircraft at "medium" detail (though the Su-25 was very good). I'm glad they decided to focus on max detail, and having rotary wing aircraft as well is simply fantastic. :yeah:

[Oberon]

I can foresee that should I ever get the next generation machine or manage to upgrade this one (whilst farming those flying pigs) then I'll definately have to aim for that A-10 sim.
Love the 'hogs :yeah:

Barely 'nough meat on ma bones to feed the 2 of them. :rotfl:

Was weird though: not much damage to the Kamov, but I was killed on impact. Helo was trimmed for hover pretty well, so it just kinda slowly drifted down untill it exploded after a while.

Weird to still see it flying, knowing the pilot is long dead. :-?

Ah, that's cheating! Far as I know, those planes didn't even have trim.

I must say I'm pretty interested in it, but I figure you'd really need TrackIR. Just to darn difficult keeping an eye on an enemy in a dogfight without it.

Think one could have a decent experience without TIR? :06:

Hmmm, the cockpit of the F6 is open which leads to the assumption that the American is already in his "I want to land and ignore everything else" mode.

BTW Your Zero has no markings which is a violation of international law. Even if you should survive the battles at the end you will be hung as a war criminal. But don't let that distract you from your missions to come.:D

[Kapitan]

Well i have flown alot of aircraft on flight sim over the last 10 years everything from harriers from carriers and F18's to E3 awacs and sea king helo's ive flown fighters tankers transports and passenger jets big and small.

But today i found a little helicopter that is well rather nice to fly.
Ive spent what about 400 hours over 10 years flying helo's thats not alot compaired to well over 15,000 hours in fixed wing aircraft.

So here goes:

This is my MI-8 helicopter boarding at KORD readying up for some training and we also had a duty to observe landings and approaches on vatsim as well which was kind of unusual for me today.
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i213/British_Airways_Captain/Other%20flying/onground2.jpg
Side view with our main door open obviously we dont have the main 5 blade rotor going have not yet got clearence to start her up.

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i213/British_Airways_Captain/Other%20flying/onground.jpg
Frontal view of the MI-8 on the ground shes not a huge helicopter but large (no where near the size of the MI-26) i do want to have a go at trying to fly one of those one day.

Gee Bee Z "Sportster"
Yup, the notorious Gee Bee, the only plane Doolittle was scared to fly :D
very torquey and nose-heavy, take-offs have to be done with no flaps, and full right rudder, else you will soon find yourself out in the grass!

Dornier DO-X
The famous 12-engined flying boat. Trust me, it takes all 12 to get this thing off the water. the turn you see in the screenie was accomplished after about 10 seconds hard on the stick, no letting up on the turn. It's a TANK in flight, but wonderful on the water taxiing :)

And my pride and joy,

Hughes H-1
I am simply obsessed with this plane. Its pretty, it flies nice. But don't let it fool you, it is downright mean. The first 10-15 minutes of your flight is solely looking at the panel, changing your mixtures, prop pitches, and making sure you keep your throttle under the red-line in the Manifold pressure. This is a pic of the cockpit, it's very utilitarian. I like that. You can see that I'm running Okey-dokey, by looking at the three gauges to the right of the stick, Manifold pressure is okay, oil temp is in the green, and carburetor temp is well under 4 there, and that's good, a fine plane, well worth the money!

[Oberon]

(cross-posted from mod thread)

We were to provide top cover for the poor sods stuck on convoy escort duty down below, climbed up to angels fifteen and sweep along the Kent coast from Dover towards Margate. Jerry showed up shortly after we swung over Deal and laid into the escorts, our leader veered off to port and dived onto some yellow nosed bastards and me and three followed suit. After that, it dissolved into the typical one on one, I covered the skipper for a while and then lost him but found a 109, gave him a seeing too and then found he'd brought a friend who was determined to protect him, I, on the other hand, was not so lucky and had to break away from Jerry, and every time I tried to re-engage one, the other would swing behind me, one of them got a hit on the engine and glycol started spewing all over the shop, tried to continue the dogfight but couldn't aim through the glycol and called it a day. RTB'd and CTD'd.

This is a real crying shame. I am a huuuuuuuge fan of flight sims, and ROF and BoB both look great, but I am in the long forgotten computer game market known as Canada. I checked out EB today at 3 locations, and they were all pretty sparse for games of the PC variety.....
Is there any way other than ebay to get them LEGALLY (eg steam or something) that I am not aware of? It hurts to see such pretty pics and not be able to give them a whirl.
Cheers

Wow.... Those ROF shots are amazing... looking at their site I soo need an upgrade... (stupid single core, I can't buy anything these days...)

I just added the DCG to IL2: 1946, where do I get those Africa campaigns that are shown in some of the Screenies? I only see a vs Italians one on that site.

[HunterICX]

DCG comes with 2 Afrika campaigns:

Tobruk 41
Tobruk 43

the best way to use DCG is by enabling the option to let DCG take over ''DGEN'' and ''NGEN'' so the campaigns will appear in the game itself.

Don't worry, you would not have gotten it back under control with the upper left wing almost gone. So bailing was the right choice.;)

IIJG53 mission action November 15 1943 north of Leningrad. Our mission was to interdict a Soviet column that was planning to cross the frozen sea to retake Kronenstadt:

The column was split into two sections. My wingman and I took the rear of the column whilst the other pair in our section took the lead column.

[smithcorp]

Nice of you to use your Nav lights so the Rooskis could see you better! (j/k). Nice shots.

[TarJak]

The shots are from a co-op mission flown by IIJG53: http://iijg53.com/

The Nav lights are so we don't shoot one another down so they have a real purpose. In IL-2 AI can't see so lights camo etc don't make any difference to them but when you have up to 12 pilots in the air all on the one side it makes it easier to work out who to shoot and who not to.

If you are interested the Aussie schwarm normally flies on Sunday nights at about 8pm AEST.

[smithcorp]

Cheers Tarjak - good explanation! Thanks for the invite - I don't fly IL-2 much (though I have 1946). Do you use any mods, and what version are you flying with?

[TarJak]

We use 1946 with a specially created mod pack for the squadron. Check out the site I linked above which covers all the details.

To bring them up to what level? What flight sim has better ground textures? Sure they could be better but they are a hell of a lot better then IL-2 (as you would expect being a newer title).

@Biggles - Nice shots! I assume you are on the ROF boards as well.. what is your handle over there? I am Bleddyn, the annoying forum moderator.

[Dowly]

To bring them up to what level? What flight sim has better ground textures? Sure they could be better but they are a hell of a lot better then IL-2 (as you would expect being a newer title).

To the level one should expect them to be in a game released in 2009. If that's how they look on higher settings too, they are more of an step back than forwards. I also dont agree that they are 'hell of a lot better' than IL2's, they are pretty much the same. Blurry mess.

[Highbury]

Well if you think IL-2 and RoF ground textures look the same, or even similar then we have a huge difference of opinion, but that's ok :up:

I think the RoF ground serves it's purpose more then adequately, and I have yet to see better in a flight sim... now if they would just re-work the "zippers" they call trenches I would be fully happy with it.

[Fincuan]

I agree, the planes look amazing but the ground textures... uhh. IL2 actually has better ones should you choose one of the user-made texture mods. I'll try to find some shots to illustrate this.

1 after I got to a certian altitude, the plane didnt want to clime anymore, the flaps did the job better than the elevators, and also kept it in a nice steady climb.

I can't even imagine the terror of a barrage like that creeping up on you. :-?

If they used a barrage at all; looks like they just pounded the general area to dust.

[Raptor1]

I can't even imagine the terror of a barrage like that creeping up on you. :-?

If they used a barrage at all; looks like they just pounded the general area to dust.

Barrages were invented later in the war and used on a large scale only by the end of the war. Any notion that the massive amounts of guns available could be used for anything other than lobbing a million shells into the other side of no-man's-land or that such bombardments often did more harm than good was lost on most commanders.

Though being bombed constantly for a week is probably worse than facing a barrage of any sort...

[Arclight]

Perhaps. Perhaps there's a limit to how terrified a man can be. I imagine any situation where you're holed up in a fortress, any place really, while it is being blasted to dust all around you, be it by shells or by bombs, would drive any man to his limit.

Not that I would know; I've been lucky to live in a country where armed conflict is a thing of the past. The not so distant past, and for now at least.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

The only thing I could think of that would be worse than getting shelled or bombed for weeks on end would be the dreaded mustard gas attacks that happened towards the end of the Great War. The weapon was considered so horrific that it was banned from use in combat ever since.

[Oberon]

Plenty of ways to find your end there. If a mortar didn't land in your trench or the gas attack didn't turn your lungs to mush then was always the option of having to go over the top and landing up either being buried alive by a shell, falling into a shell hole and drowning, getting hit by a bullet or even making it to the other trench and then getting skewered on a bayonet.
Makes me that more amazed that my great-grandfather survived it :up:

I brought my guns to bear on one chap and shot him dead in the cockpit.

Out in the distance, I noticed some Breguets moving in on our positions. The DFW having already absconded home, we decided to engage them.

The results were less than desirable, as I was sent whirling down to the ground in flames, my wings torn from my body.

[Oberon]

Ah, another victim of the Hookdump, yes, this is a dodgy one RM, and I'm afraid I've only been able to rid myself of it one way.
I had this problem trying to join the latest Gulagwaffle campaign, and I suspect that the problem lies with Tigers Sound Mod.
Two questions:
1) Do you use HSFX 4.1?
2) Do you use Tigers Sound Mod v2?

If your answer to the above is both in the affirmative then there is one further question:

1) Did you install the soundmod as directed in the Readme (aka, dumping it all manually into the IL2 folder as opposed to through JSGME)

If the answer to this is also in the affirmative then you'll have to reinstall IL2 and HSFX I'm afraid and rather than install it into the Il2 main directory you'll have to create a JSGME folder and plonk it in there, delete all the random H102JKRY2 named files in it and just let it transfer to the standard sound folder in IL2 like you would a standard sound mod. Unfortunately this means that you lose the flyby sounds but it should...should and don't quote me on this completely because we've only tried one Gulagwaffle mission, but it should rid you of that error.

What is SubsimMachFest? It is our very own short film festival! Welcome to the second Annual Subsim Machinima Short Video Festival. Contenders for the awards will be posted on http://au.youtube.com/user/SubsimMachFest I'm looking for the best 7 minute machinima videos containing a submarine that you can create.

Being Subsim we need a theme for our vid fest and of course it is submarines. It doesn't matter if you don't use a sub sim to make your vid but in the 7 minutes you have to include at least one submarine whether it is simulated or otherwise.

So all you budding machinima makers, crank up your skills for a chance to win one of the following awards:


Best of the Fest
Best Comedy
Best Drama
Best Director
Best Cinematography
Peoples choice



The rules for entries are simple:


All entries must be received by 5pm AEST (Sydney, Australia) on 30 April 2010. Any entries received after this time will not be considered.
All entries must be less than 7 mins long and must contain a submarine, simulated or otherwise. Other than that I don’t care what games or tools you used to create your entry.
All entries should have ending credits which include the following text or voiceover: "Dive into the Web's #1 Submarine and Naval Resource: SUBSIM.com"
Entries can be mailed on digital media or made available to me to download. To notify me of your entry by PM or e-mail. PM me to obtain my e-mail address.
Individuals may submit as many entries as they wish
All entries being considered for an award will be posted by me on the SubsimMachFest (http://au.youtube.com/user/SubsimMachFest) youtube channel.
All entries must be your own work although using material from other sources is allowed as long as it is properly credited. I have no interest in holding the rights to the videos other than the right to post them on the SubsimMachFest site.
All content must comply with the posting rules for Subsim, so no porn, racial or political vilification or abuse of any sort will be considered valid.
This is my film festival and I am the judge so if you have any complaints about my judging talk to the hand cos it’s mine and the entries have to please me. :O:
As the judge I cannot enter the competition in any way shape or form.

Post here if you are interested in taking part or know someone who would be. Any questions post ‘em here (http://subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=165411)also.

Nah, it crashed not because of weather and ATC, it crashed because the cheeseheads shot it down! You must punish them at once with an extensive bombing campaign against major population centers and windmills.

I haven't gotten so far as to check what's the eject key. :O:

[Lionclaw]

I think it's "CTRL + E".

[Arclight]

Just to make sure; it is combat damage right? Not some horrific start-up accident. :hmm2:

[Dowly]

What is this "start-up" you are talking off? :O:

[Lionclaw]

There's some damage to the airframe itself other than the burning engines, must be combat damage.

A panel is missing on the nose, damage on the the tailfin, a missing wing, left gear is missing.

[Dowly]

2 missile hits. :yep:

[Schroeder]

That looks somewhat expensive.:O:

[Dowly]

Some glue and duct tape. :O:

[Arclight]

And when you do get away from the airbase:

Try #1: get all the way to target, then shot down by Hind.
Try #2: forget engine anti-ice en-route. Subsequent engine-failure makes for a rough emergency landing, leaving you with all rotorblades halved.
Try #3: doorbell rings while en-route: Pizza!. Find yourself splattered across a mountain on return.
Try #4: get there, deal with the targets and go inbound to check and pop some rockets. Turns out there's this tit with a MANPADS behind a tree; trees don't have collision: they block your view, but AI can spot and shoot through them no problem. No missile warning either of course, since the Shark only has RWR. Subsequent explosion causes engine failure and sees you "land" right between 2 vehicles, who promptly riddle you with bullets... at least the ejection seat was still operational.

This sim is so harsh. Absolutely awesome, but harsh.

Arc: Yes, at start.
Dowly: Oh ffs!

But hey, I did a barrel roll it on so. :O:

Only thing I really have problems anymore flying wise is hovering or more precisely understanding it. Same with trim, need some practise. Otherwise I got it quite well, even went in for some low alt town cruising. :up:

But yeah, you're picking it up quite nicely. Didn't get beyond flipping switches on my first day, so I'd say getting the hang of actually flying the bitc... Shark is good progress.

Nice shot. :salute:

[Task Force]

I really need to get back into DCS, my RTS games have been really takeing all my time from my Sims...

[Dowly]

Now that I got the FF working it's a breeze flying the thing, tho still can't really start a hover. :-? Or shoot anything except buildings. :O:

[Arclight]

As far as the weapons system goes:

For rockets and guns in static mode:
Enable master arm
Select weapon

Reticle pops up on the HUD to aim with.


For tracking (gun and Vikhr)
The above + Uncage Skvahl (display comes alive and you can pan the view around)
Enable laser
Lock target in Skvahl

Line up the helo with target and launch; you'll see a reticle over the target, indicating where the Skvahl is looking, and a larger circle that indicates Vikhr launch window. Gun is a bit more forgiving since it has some degree of free movement.

Enable the laser before locking to get a range. Doesn't matter for Vikhr since it just flies down the beam (no need to lock either, technically), but the gun needs range information. Gun will also properly leed a moving target (if locked).

Range gets stored and changes as you pan around, but this is based on calculations, not actual laser-ranging. Laser-ranging is updated everytime you press the lock button. If you have a group of targets close together, lock 1 to get range and then just pan the Skvahl over next target and fire.


Be carefull with the laser: disable it when you don't need it and try to keep the use of the range finder limited, or it will burn out. First indications of it failing are usually inaccurate rangings and Vikhr loosing track for no aparent reason.

You guys are having fun with DCS Black Shark. I want to try it. :rotfl2:

[Dowly]

Yeh it's fun. Just takes some time to get used to. Your first challenge is to fly the darn thing, you gotta remember that helo in it's natural state is out of control. Fortunately the Kamov has pretty nice autopilot functions that keep the helo somewhat under control, but even with them on prepare to crash alot in the beginning. Once you learn to fly a bit then you have to keep an eye out for the dreaded vortex that will suck you right into the ground if you're not awake.

After you can fly the thing, then it's time to learn to shoot stuff which is luckily much easier.

PS. Don't be scared of the number of switches and buttons, you don't need but a fraction of them to fly and shoot stuff. :yep:

I yelled "missile!", but yeah, doesn't do much good if he ain't got no flares. :haha:

Lol, I really need to get back into blackshark...

So, when do youall fly? never done Blackshark MP.

[Arclight]

Just occasionally, but could organize it a bit more. I just threw together a mission with several target sites and a convoy heading for your base, fairly straightforward. Nice to practice a bit, without those frustrating things like an enemy helo or plane blowing you away (Shark barely has capability to engage helo, none for fixed-wing).

Could post in BS thread when I'm running a mission. Regulars now are Dowly and Lionclaw, 4th slot available, so feel free to drop in... guess I'll add a few more slots in case we need them. :hmmm:

Bought Black Shark! :rock:

[Arclight]

Good. Now learn to fly all over again. :D
