It flickers in any view, but it's very infrequent, like once every 20-30 seconds or so, and just a minor flit. I even get something similar on my XP desktop, and I think it might be more due to video driver compatibility than anything else.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:40:18 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2905305.html#Post2905305 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2900327.html#Post2900327 Reticuli

Automatic target categorization, not automatic targeting. I think it was for vehicles, not really people, and so you could be masked while analyzing all the sensors. Though I wonder if it could just have "people" tagged as opposed to like goats, or something. Most bad military aviation kills are caused by bad intelligence or faulty weapon guidance. And if the current helos were so suitable to Afghanistan, how come they keep crashing into mountains and fly around like Winnabegos at those altitudes? Extreme pilot workload. Low durability. High maintenance to flight hour ratio. I think most of the public really doesn't care about aviation advances. You just tell them the country doesn't need a new scout helicopter to replace ones that need to be replaced anyway due to age and that's already designed and ready, or a new artillery system that can shoot further and with fewer friendly fire using guided rounds, and they'll eat it up as surely as dog doodoo spoon fed to them. 1950's style trust and complacency. Friendly standard artillery and mortar has killed a great deal of GIs in the last few years. "You don't fight with the army you want, you fight with the army you have." Sure Rummy, I'm sure future warfighters won't care you used the money to buy more unarmored Humvees and machine guns that jam. Anyway, though it's a little late for Afghanistan, the Army will probably eventually get Sikorsky X2s with SAC sticks and digital fly-by-wire. That was kind of the way they should have gone in the first place but just couldn't work out the kinks. It looks like one of Austin's tubby-looking designs for X-Plane, but who gives a rip if it works! That could take 10 years to field it, though. After the cancellation of Raptor, I wonder if the Obama administration has the foresight to go ahead with it rather than just keep regurgitating the same Jetranger with a FLIR off-the-shelf concept they seem to be keep flocking to.]]> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:41:21 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2900327.html#Post2900327 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2901304.html#Post2901304 HawkI

Great work as ever, Samovar6.

Keep at it!]]> Sun, 15 Nov 2009 09:17:11 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2901304.html#Post2901304 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2892738.html#Post2892738 BeachAV8R

Sorry to hear your HOTAS isn't working with it. Unfortunately the control mapping capabilities (which there are really none) are non-existent in these games. Basically you are stuck with whatever the game recognizes as a controller.

Regarding TIR - yeah..the only way it works is when you are in the cannon mode, and then only if you are using mouse emulation mode. There's no reason not to use it in cannon mode though since you can't use the mouse to do anything else in the game anyway..

It is a fun little time diversion. Sometimes it's nice to just boot up a mission and fly a lite sim instead of going through a 20 minute startup sequence. And the helo dynamics aren't that bad at all!]]> Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:59:31 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2892738.html#Post2892738 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2888230.html#Post2888230 Eugene

The great Jane's Longbow 2 is still flown, sometimes online. Can't forget this one, and more likely to be online than Hind which has issues due to its age.]]> Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:29:01 PDT http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2888230.html#Post2888230 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2872392.html#Post2872392 Flyboy

I think most of them are test or WIP missions.Have you tried them in the battle builder?]]> Mon, 05 Oct 2009 04:55:30 PDT http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2873493.html#Post2873493 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2871741.html#Post2871741 Flyboy

Hi Bill

Take a look here-

DCS- http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php

EECH- http://www.cockpits.nl/PRODGAL_AH64D_cockpit_EECH.html

EECH Central- http://www.eechcentral.com/

LB2- was the benchmark heli sim until DCS was released last year. The terrain is dated these days and theres no native TrackIR support. Other than that its still a great fly.

For my own taste though I switch between DCS and EECH these days.

ps- if you want to fly will more realistic, then purchase HOTAS, Pedals, and TrackIR]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 14:41:03 PDT http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2872080.html#Post2872080
