Hi
Cheers Para_Bellum for your tutorial & probably the best one out their to help newbie folks like me.
But as I am pretty new to this wonderful sim I would be extremely interested to see how a real competent pilot would play & execute this mission by posting a TRK. Im sure it would help a lot of people not just me.
I am surprised as far as I know, there has not been one single TRK of this mission uploaded on to this site especially as a lot of people have played it.
hi

Is it possible to move the targeting box left and right - or the whole scan angle of the SHKVAL so that I don't have to turn the whole chopper? Same question with up/down - I know its probably in the manual somewhere...
Ok I think I found it... looks like the , and / key for L and R and ; . for Up and Down...

Hi All, I'd love to get the mission file for this tutorial ( http://freenet-homepage.de/parabellum/tutorial01.miz ), but as I try to I'm directed to a download site written in German. Wish I could speak German but I don't. Anyone know how I can get this file ... in the U.S. (english)? Thanks, Gary

Garyn, use the updated link from the 1st page please. Simply click on "download" or "free download", if you haven't got a (paid) rapidshare account you'll have to wait a minute or so before the download starts.
Also, in the lower left corner should be a little english flag, click on it to see the english language version of the site.

I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of thanks to Parabellum for this tutorial mission and notes. I recently got back into BS1 (after the release of BS2, which I can only play on low settings) and his tutorial mission was perfect for getting me back into flying this tricky machine.
It took me three tries to successfully complete – my biggest problem was misunderstanding which ridge to crest to attack the tanks in the first part of the mission. The first couple of times I found I was under attack when I was hovering to get my weapons set up, or searching for the targets. Turned out I was sitting behind the wrong ridge and actually hovering in the valley the tanks were in – I finally noticed them blasting away at me with their main guns close by.
Once I’d identified my mistake everything went more smoothly. I popped up and Vikhred the Turkish tanks, leaving them smoking wrecks, then snuck over to the location of the insurgents, knocked out their tent with rockets from a stationary hover 1.5km away, then cannoned the remaining insurgents. Love the sound of the cannon on the slow rate of fire – thump-thump-thump.
Then after the second success message, I managed to fly safely back to the airbase, land (not a hovering landing but a fixed-wing style approach) and shut down.
Most satisfying. The only problems I had were getting out of phase with the trim (and having difficulty getting into a hover, ending up spinning around), which I solved with a quick reset-trim (I think it’s a great idea to hit the reset-trim button now and then to get things back to ‘normal’); and having the HUD refuse to go back to Navigation mode (which I think was caused by still having the cannon selected).

Bump. Well, I'm not sure if you can bump a sticky but I will go so far as to say that I joined the forum pretty much to say "THANK YOU!" to Para_Bellum for putting this together. I've flown this mission a few times now and it's certainly given me a greater appreciation for the game. Small bite-sized missions are the future. You've probably moved on to other things but if you do ever feel like putting something basic together like dealing with the ABRIS then I'm sure it'd go down a storm like this mission. Thanks again.

+1 for a BS2 tutorial mission please! Hi, guys. I think if you put the mission in the appropriate BS2 folder, open it in the BS2 mission editor then save it, it should work fine.

The link on the first page takes me to the rapidshare site but only to the upload page. No mention of the mission download there. Please post another download site or email the file. I'm done with dcs a-10c for awhile and want to get into black shark and i think this is the best way. thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out. kkretch [and then you put the "at" sign here] hotmail.com

I just checked and the link works just fine for me, kkretch (see below for screenshot). Also, I edited your email address out of your post. Don't want the spammers to get ya!
