Hi tirta,
You're lucky you caught me here, I don't often visit the forums nowadays. Let's see about your issues...
1. It sounds like it's windy out there. The helicopter rocks from side-to-side when there is quite strong wind in a mission, this is how the developer's visually displayed turbulence. Try turning turbulence off in the options menu and see if that helps.
2. This is a common side-effect of running the game on modern computers. It has been put down to a CPU speed issue, strangely enough. It is also to do with the fact that you're probably using a USB joystick. There isn't really a cure for it, other than use the keyboard 'fire' button which still works first-time or use an old-school Gameport joystick if your PC has one.
3. I never had a joystick with a working hatswitch, and LB2 can be a bit temperamental when it comes to configuring controllers. I think there is some mapping software out there that allows you to program buttons on a joystick outside the game. Can't quite remember the details on that.
Apologies for me not being as helpful as I might once have been, much of this stuff now passes me by. Perhaps someone else will chip-in and fill-in the gaps that I have drawn.

Thanks for the reply, Flyboy. You are correct about the turbulance option. Turning this off get rid of the rocking motion. I have done some tinkering with svmapper, programming the joystick button no.1 with "enter" and set it as "continuous" do the trick, now it is fixed. However, programming other buttons seem a bit tricky, for some unknown reason, LB2 interprets some of the buttons rather differently than as intended. I have to do some more experiments about these. I have found another bug with the rockets. Every time I shoot, the rockets always fall short and never hit the target, how do you fix this?

A good program to slow the CPU clock down is DOSBox. You can configure it to slow just about anything down.

Funny, I've been playing LB2 for years with barely any issues (maybe a CTD once in a blue moon). Recently it started crashing at the end of a mission. Sometimes in the middle of the mission. Art first I thought there was something with a new campaign I recently started so I started a new one and it worked fine for a few missions. When I thought that was it, it started crashing again. I then remembered a problem with another game where the voices (music and effects were OK, just the voices had problems) sounded like I had "double audio". After checking Device manager, I noticed some nvidia audio drivers that were probably installed after a recent driver update. I disabled the nvidia "audio devices" and "the other game" worked fine so I went back to LB. It worked fine again for a couple of missions, then started crashing again. I did a lot of troubleshooting always with the same results. Just when I thought I got it, it started crashing again. I even restored a backup I made when I first got it running without any luck...Until I realized, the MS Compatibility Toolkit was no longer installed on my computer. I started looking at my old CDs until I found it, installed it with PositiveG's DB and finally fixed it!!! I then again tried other DBs I had on disks but it still crashed so I went back to PosiviteG and it hasn't crashed in the last 2 weeks. Edit: The only problem I have now is the radar not updating air targets (enemy chopper or aircraft) returns. Sometimes it keeps the pointing at a place where the air target is no longer there. Sometimes I go chasing a ghost (the chopper has been destroyed), sometimes I think I am chasing an enemy chopper but it is really behind me.

Yes the web address is still the same. Unfortunately, for some reason, some people have trouble getting on to my websites. They work for me. I don't know what to suggest. I've never been able to access the site and I have never figured out why.

I had some time to kill and tried to find out why I cannot access http://digitality.comyr. I spend over an hour and nothing worked. Cleared my temp files, reset modem and router, changed DNS to an open DNS, flushed DNS, disabled firewall, ran virus scanning, checked router settings, attempted using Chrome and IE8....nadda, nothing worked. Still cannot access the site. I'm thinking his ISP is blocking us. I'm not sure why but I can nearly guarantee its not on my end.
