I knew it would be soon when I saw that the manual was up, but that was faster than I expected. I've already over-stretched this week's budget, so a purchase for me will be next weekend at the earliest. As far as I'm concerned, though, the jury's still out on this one. Also, I don't have enough space on my SSD. Stupid DLL hell taking up all my space. I need another SSD.

I wonder if that would increase or reduce house prices :P

I saw that article this morning. I thought I was on The Onion instead of beeb news. Utterly crazy, and enough to make me glad I live in one of this island's other capitals!

In other sims, he never leaves me alone. Maybe I will like this. Please include a ground-loop avoidance tutorial.

Those are gorgeous!

There's also Chenarus Apocalypse, which I think is a set of zombie missions rather than a mod, but I don't know.

That makes more sense. It seems I need to get my eyes tested. Maybe I should go to Optimal Express:music_whistling: Thank you both for the info. Back to the books, back to the plane and back to learning. You wouldn't think I bought this when it was still in Beta! I'm rubbish!

Does anyone have any clarification on the optical vs ballistic release cues for LGB's? I seem to have missed clear information in the manual. All I know at the moment, is that I seem to miss when it's set to optical and that the TOF is much shorter when in optical than in ballistic. Currently I stick to BAL, because I hit the target, and think I can release at a greater (and therefore perhaps safer?) distance.

One group which seems very welcoming to new pilots. http://flight-sim-fanatics.com/index.php

No problem. It's unusual for me to be able to answer questions, so I relish the chance. Usually I leave it for someone who is much more knowledgeable (almost everyone here), someone gets there first, or a combination of both :D

If It's Steam, it'll be v1.0.2. That version IIRC didn't work with the training tracks. There are many training videos here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/video/black_shark/ The manual will help somewhat in conjunction with these Here's a startup video on Youtube. Finally, the following is essential, and really got me working in BS. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2626185/

F14 Fleet Defender Gold way back when (actually, that was old when I played it). I couldn't handle full realism, but I'm trying to make up for that these days. I did play it to death, and even found the dragon. I also played Navy Strike, which I never really got on with.

WOW. That's pretty good. I never played tribes originally, but this is fun. Very fast and hard to lead your opponents from any distance making a long-range shot feel like a real achievement.

It looks like your system is similar to mine when I first played Flaming Cliffs 2. Again, I couldn't play missions with anything more than a handful of units. Unfortunately, my only solution was to save a large proportion of my income for 1/4 of a year and upgrade.

Actually, it was my wingman who got shot. I did just that. I thought "it's 1AM, I'm not going to make any more progress tonight"

Just tried this for the first time last night. My god it's difficult, isn't it? So far I've had a 2 second connection. Lots of work to do to learn this.

I couldn't agree more. I look forward to whatever is later released, but I don't count on it. I enjoy what I already have, because Black Shark is great, A10 is great. I still have so much to do in those, and as an aside, I'm trying to learn BMS. Just working on enjoying what I have. The old proverb goes "don't count your chickens before they've hatched"

It's not cheap there anymore anyway. GBP24.99 now.

You can zoom if you want to You can leave your friends behind 'Cause your friends don't zoom and if they don't zoom Then they're no friends of mine.

Forgive my ignorance and stupidity, but could anyone please remind me where to find the AOA guage and the maximum endurance etc cues? Always trying to learn.

I never expected this thread to make me hungry. I'm so suggestible when it comes to food.

The core based system could hopefully free up some HDD space couldn't it? I'm not sure if I understand correctly.

JTAC and targets being near a steerpoint/markpoint are fairly essential, unless a mission's text describes what land features to look at to find the targets.

So long and thanks for all the fish?

On the other side of the coin, I know people who like Flight better than previous titles in the series and thing it's what was needed. These people are not hardcore simmers, so maybe it does have its place in the market.
