Yeah, got into a vortex as I slowed down for hover, managed to get out of it quite quickly. Just point the nose forward and add collective.


I use Saitek's Pro Flight Rudder Pedals, they're not as expensive as the other companies products. But they seem a little rickety, but if you take it gently it's no problem.

However I've done more quick rudder movements but they seem to endure what I put them through at least. I've never broken any of my hardware by usage.

Anyone use the mod manager (Modman)? I can't get the f* thing to work, it won't find the BS folder.

I installed it and when it asks for what game, I chose DCS series after that it asks for the root folder, I point it to D:/Eagle Dynamics/Ka50 and it gives an error that it can't find it.

Yup, one can prolly do it without it, but just makes it easier.

EDIT: Wanna play at some point? I got 3 hours or so before I leave.

Lost my pilot after a stupid mistake! Was playing the default quickstart map (the valley one) with realism on, had just gunned down the trucks and was flying towards the next patch of enemies. Got to a good spot and started hover, only one thing; didnt keep my eye on the collective and ALT+TAB'd out to check something quickly. Came back and I was at 7 meters and going down too fast.

Yeah, can be such a pain. Think I lost more helos and pilots to vortex trouble than combat damage.

Folowed closely by Strela and Stinger missiles. No warning untill (if) you spot it... usually too late by then.



So, what, no cottage? I'm confused.

We had planned on leaving early with my brother but it turned out we all go at the same time once my mom gets out from work.

But nevermind the playing, got my fix already.

Yeah had a few reboots yesterday, thanks to that marvelous StarForce on Flaming Cliffs.

Windows wouldn't boot after install, managed to repair, and then noticed Avast was disabled.

Forgot to start Steam.

Looking up in this thread and researching about DCS Black Shark, I found this game very interesting and fun to play, but hard. I'm not sure if I can buy it but I need a new joystick...

Has anybody bought it from Direct2Drive? If so, will the standard patches work on it alright?
