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

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:

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. |
SWWWOOOOOSH!!

You guys are having fun with DCS Black Shark. I want to try it. :rotfl2:
|
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: |
Arc
http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...ret/arcme2.jpg Arc & I http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...rret/arcme.jpg Circling around as Arc lands http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...ingCarrier.jpg Refuelled and ready to go http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...et/Carrier.jpg On the return trip we came under fire from the coast; enemy convoy. Arc here going down, I followed soon after (had spent all my flares just for the fun of it earlier :oops:) http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...ret/archit.jpg |
Bloody Shilka. Told ya there was a convoy coming through soon, didn't I? :lol:

Lol, I really need to get back into blackshark...
So, when do youall fly? never done Blackshark MP. |
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:
|
Good. Now learn to fly all over again. :D
