DCS Black Shark

[Arclight]

Weird.

Maybe there was target in cue or something, and it warns eveytime you mess with the PVI.


*sigh* trying to play that "Oilwar" campaign; wingman is useless and they send me back a phase after doing exactly what I was tasked with.

Running the server a bit, can't stand SP anymore. Reboot first though.

[Arclight]

Righto, server's up. Running mission, test TIR a bit, see if that HMS is a bit handier now.

[Arclight]

Right, just some practice then;


Try a bit of canyon flying and low level flight. Plenty of trucks to empty ammo on. Start empty, so need to select load-out and refuel.

Flight-lead has route, so follow the "leader".

Is running but paused, and imma using ma TS. Unpause it when we get some people.

[Arclight]

Could you post that track per chance?

Should be in "..\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Temp\". Something like "clientxxx.trk" or "MPxxx.trk" or something. Most fun I've ever had with a convoy.

damn teasers you are....

just out of curiosity how would it run on my system?

CPU: Intel Dual Core E6750 2.66ghz
RAM: 2 Gb DDR
GPU: 8800GT 512 Mb DDR3
OS: Win XP

The A-10 is a nice aircraft, but as far the moder era aircraft go they don't have the same attraction as I have for World War 2 warbirds.

Helo's on the other hand well haven't played with them that much, I recall a old dos helo game where you could pick between certain helo's even a tilrotor one (used to pick that pretty much all the time) I got as far till I met sam's and it was the end of the mission

flown BF2 and ArmA but that doesn't really count as Sim's and I was pretty bad at it (in BF2 I was ok, but in ArmA well you all know it)

I guess its ArmA's way of handling the Helo to blame for it or it's that I just didn't put enough time in it. but you can't really say the helo's in ArmA where detailed and had a proper flight model.

My rig is almost the same except I have an E6600. You should be able to run blackshark fine on medium/high settings.

[Task Force]

Your should be able to run medium, or high, as Ubergeek said.

But you will probably want that program that allows you to run more that one core... I actualy need it. lol

[Arclight]

Think that was fixed with patch, or you can just set the afinity for DCS.exe to all cores manually, no need for any programs.

I ran it on "high" preset on E6750, 8800GTS 512 and 2GB RAM no problem, since v1.0. There's some conditions that make the framerate dip though, usually in heavy weather, and maybe a little stutter when something scripted triggers, but I still have that on Q9550 and 4Gb RAM. Think you can get away with enabling civilian traffic as well.

After watching the video Dowly sent me, and his signature I'm in the mood to play DCS Black Shark.But I keep giving up due to frustration.

Last time I tried I had just started using my brand new rudder, which was part of the problem that made me quit. When I would take control of the helicopter the rudder pushes to one side and stays that way. If I push all the way on the other side of the rudder it'll go to the middle. I Believe it has to do with my Saitek rudder, anyone have suggestions on how to fix?

[Schroeder]

Have you calibrated it under windows?

[Dowly]

Mate, we got a DCS thread already, juuust under this one.

It actually wasn't until I posted mine that I realized I had chosen the same title. I guess I should of named mine: Black Shark Rudder Help, although the fact it's in this topic works too.

@Schroeder: I think I did. I haven't touched it in over two months so I'll have to double check when I get home.

Yeh, better check it out. Sometimes these things might 'forget' the calibration. But atleast Saitek (joystick) can be calibrated in-game too by just moving rudder/axis' to the all extremes.
