Here is the fifth Producers Note for the DCS:Blackshark helicopter flight simulator.
This two part video provides information about targeting and performing recon with the main Shkval TV monitor, as well as targeting with the helmet-mounted display.
There are also some extra navigation features discussed at the end of the video.
Hi-res download version is available here. (Free registration required)
The English PDF manuals for the DCS:Blackshark combat chopper simulator is now available HERE. (It requires a free registration)
The flight manual is 385 pages of text, diagrams and color photos, and teaches you all the detail about the KA-50 systems, including avionics, comms and the ABRIS Moving Map/GPS system. It contains checklists for practicing those cold ramp starts, and some basic operating procedures.
The User Interface (GUI) manual is 162 pages, and teaches you about the mission editor and the new pilot logbook.
What are you waiting for?
The Russian version of DCS: Black Shark has gone Gold and is scheduled to be released by the 1C company, in both retail and digital download, for the eastern market on October 17!
details here
Unfortunately, the localization for western languages is still in process, and then the game will need to spend time being rated, so we may not see the North American version until Jan 2009. 
Between now and then, they plan to release the ~550 page PDF manual, and a playable demo.
I believe that the Russian version will have option for English labels in the cockpit, or there will be options to add the localizations later.
Will you consider purchasing and downloading the Russian version?
