So uh, after getting better with the DCS A-10 module I decided to try out the Huey module again. So, I got over confident. Did the startup tutorial a few times and decided that I was going to fly that thing after the fifth run through of the startup procedures. I took off, and flew around the pattern for a bit. By taking off I meant spun like a top for a second and then got control before flying around. My previous attempts at landing usually resulted in one or more or one giant fire ball. I landed without blowing up. I mean there was a cracked windshield, a warning light or two. The main rotor landed somewhere near the maintenance building but don't worry because it's all one piece. So hey nothing blew up this time so uh I think I'm getting the hang of it :) Yeah I'm still doing my tutorials. Those choppers are difficult but fun. Someday I'm going to update my flight control game and get a damn good HOTAS.

Nah man haven't you been watching the History Channel? Aliens dude ... it was the aliens. Sorry I couldn't resist. Hopefully you see my point amid the humor.

Wow. Here I am thinking about buying a drone to survey my property and it appears these things just might be outlawed.

I came across this channel and I figured this is more for those who were or are in the military especially the US Army

It was the battery. The battery to the motherboard went bad somehow. On a whim I replaced the battery and everything is there! It works. My baby is alive she's alive! AHHH!!!!! ah, I'm sooo going to get an external harddrive.

OH YEAH My motherboard still under warranty! Woot!

Hey I found the exact motherboard that I have. So, considering my current real life situation, I'll just buy another one of the same model. I'd prefer to buy better but maybe I can do that in the future.

I'll take comfort in your words. Because the only computer I have left to test my new HDD Is on is my old one that can barely run Vista ... okay I shouldn't be too critical of the ole gal as she is helping. But if the HDD can be saved then groovy. I'll just get a cheap rig that can run everything. Is there a decent motherboard that is compatible with the AMD FX-8320 Octa-Core processor?

I'm hoping my hard drive can be saved. If so then I'll be fine.

It was a cyberpower pc job that I got from Amazon.

The computer I've been waiting years to have has died today. It was a jacked up. I was just using this morning, then shut it down. Ran a quick a errand came back, no power, no nothing. Computer repair believes it's the motherboard that's gone. He doesn't have anything in stock for my baby. It's the one we talked about here the one with 8 cores, 2tb hard drive, it was perfect for my needs. I'm going to check Fries? I think that's what he said. Or just buy another computer and put my old harddrive in it. As anyone had this happen to them. A motherboard just crapping out and in under a year or two. edit. Frys.com is the site.

Oh wow they're still funny thank you Caesar

@Wrench I'm so glad you remembered it too I thought I was going crazy. @Caesar Thank you, thank you!

A long time ago someone posted a series of some funny videos that used several DCS modules. All I remember is that it was in French and the two pilots were screwing around, one of them accidentally blew up their commanders jeep, they got demoted, flew A-10s. Does anyone here know what I'm talking about? I'm trying to find those videos again.

Dang I'm getting better. I had to punch out though because all my systems went off line and the engines flamed out. I was flying around doing a bunch of loops and rolls and flying upside down. Attempted restart ... it would've been cool if a Huey could pick me up.

I was in when he landed in a suburb...I was really in when I saw who he'll be working for. It's like the aviation version of Lord of War.

I'm totally watching this...

Beautiful.

I did find those just now. For some reason that I thought that would launch my campaign so I ignored it. I claim my idiocy on this one thank you, sir.

Wow. Good thing that tree was able to cushion the landing somewhat.

I've been flying more and more training missions and getting just as addicted to the DCS series. I know I'm no where near digital combat ready yet but I'm getting better. I wish there was a free flight mode where I can do stuff without the tutorial getting in the way. But I'm targeting JDAMs and Paveways with a really high level of accuracy. For a while JDAMs where giving me problems but then I realized that in my startup procedure I wasn't allowing the NAV alignment to finish. Today just a few hours ago was the best damn flight I have ever had. A far cry from my first out. So Migbuster, CombatACE, thank you letting me know about DCS. I'm loving this. I just got to HOTAS sometime in the future when I can afford one.

I just found the revised version. I think it flows a bit better.

Check out that entrance way ... that's neat.

@Erik Okay that's cool. I really like that feature.

Just seeing what things will work here. ... Yes I'm exploring the new features of the upgraded site.
