Pretty sure that was sarcasm from GGTharos but, you never know ;)

http://www.aolnews.com/2011/03/22/raw-video-crashed-u-s-fighter-jet-in-libya/ F-15E downed :( EDIT: Sorry about the ads.

http://www.facebook.com/#!/eagle.dynamics I feel that the F-15C would be the most practical plane they could do. BUT, don't you think ED wants the element of surprise for a reason? It could honestly be a fighter that nobody is expecting. I mean it is odd, all those pictures of the F-18 on their page.

http://www.break.com/index/fighter-jet-shot-down-over-libya-2027136 What's the story with this situation? Our plane or no?

I agree. Look at comments of that photo album below: 張成業 So... Hornet is the next sim ED will do ? Eagle Dynamics ‎=) everything is possible

This is me on my last vacation doing a little water skiing, no big deal.

Hmmm, tell me more about this 'Combat-Helo.' It looks pretty great, and I've never heard of it.

I can't speak to the comparison of the 4890 but I own a 5770 1g ATI and things run really well for me. If I were you though, and the 4890 is playable, maybe save up and get a Nvidia 560ti I've heard really good things about that card. P.S. What's your CPU?

Oh man, that is good news. I always thought it was odd but assumed it was just the way it worked. Does this bug also effect the MFDs restarting also?

So much for helpful criticism.

I was merely referencing Black Shark to A-10C because the two aircraft and modules are VERY different. You made the point that it's highly unlikely that they would have the development time to consider the F-18 as their next module, I'm saying it's not. Not ONLY the flight model in A-10C (was completely new) but the weapons:(guided bombs, dumb bombs, GAU-8, Air-to-air missiles, mavericks, etc.) THEN-- JTAC, Targeting computer, A-10C nav computer, I can go on and on about the different things they've implemented into A-10C that wasn't in Black Shark. That was my point. So a carrier and an F-18 avionics and flight model? Yeah, so? ;)

@Alfa, I agree with the fact that some of these things are problems currently, but look at Black Shark and A-10C. If they can COMPLETELY redo an entire flight model from a helicopter to a fixed wing airplane, why couldn't they add in something like physics for the water/carrier to add a little dipping up and down. Or add a new theater (i.e. like Nevada for A-10C) for the carrier to exist in? I really could not IMAGINE how difficult carrier ops would be though, considering ED's eye for realism, it would be months worth of practice. Not that A-10C and Black Shark aren't already. Honestly though it doesn't matter what they make, I'll be getting it. These sims are the most fun I've had on a computer since World of Warcraft first launched!

The red is where I noticed it. When I get home tonight I'll post a screen shot. Thanks P.S. How is it different?

So I read through a few threads in BlackShark and I now realize (I just wasn't grasping it before) why it appears the way it does. (Water is ALWAYS displayed as sea level and just collision is raised for the elevation of terrain.) I was flying over a river where I noticed it next to the soft target waypoint of the weapons training mission. I'm glad the major lakes have been fixed though but I'm assuming you're not going to be correcting rivers because they're on a slope? Nate is there any future plans of changing how the water is rendered/displayed to deal with this issue in the future?

Just wanted to throw my .02 in here and say that I do notice the same thing even in the Final release of A-10c. The texture of the water is displaying like 50m UNDER where the surface should be located. But I know it's phisically in the correct space because my bullets hit where it should be located. And the same with the shadow, it appears to be on the correct altitude. Is there maybe a setting I can play with to fix this problem?

I'm pretty sure the original post has been edited with all the correct information.

I haven't tried this mod yet but just to clarify.. I have Win7 64bit and I run the 64bit A-10C exe, so the 32bit dll that is posted will not work for anyone running 64-bit version of the game, or 64-bit windows? I can't wait to try this though because loading times(w/ the GUI) in Black Shark compared to A-10C are night and day.

Depending on your budget of course, I just went with an H70 and was able to clock my Q6600 to 3.265GHz without going over 47 degrees C. under load. It's pretty amazing. I also have a mid-sized case so space was an issue for me. Here's what it looks like.. It mounts right to the back fan slot of my case. Comes off with 4 screws therefore if you need to get to something behind it also.

Has anyone seen the cloud reflection on the water moving up and down really fast? My clouds in the sky are rendering fine, but if I see the reflection of them on the water it's bouncing around (more so just up and down.) Was just curious if this was just me or if someone else has seen it.

I'm just curious, does anyone use the X-52 WITHOUT the saitek software installed? I have windows 7 and it recognizes the joystick fine and works in the game fine, but is there any reason (besides using someone's saved profile) to use the software other than that? Maybe the spoiler trick too. 0-33% is closed and 34-100% is open. etc.

I have had the ATI 5770 1g for sometime now and it's served me very well. From WoW and BF:BC2 to DCS Black Shark and A-10c. But I understand you being hesitant. Some people have just had better luck with Nvida, I've had good luck with both. Anyway, I think a few other people suggested this but the 560 Ti is around $250. And I don't know much about the ~$189 GTX 460's, but I would assume waiting for a good deal on a 560 Ti would be worth the wait.

I think that is a great setup for the money. Depending on how fast you want to get it though, the i3-2300 should be arriving soon which will compete directly with the AMD X4 955 and for a similar price. But again.. "Despite its position in the pecking order, Phenom II X4 955 offers the best gaming value. It is a true quad-core processor with a sizable 6 MB L3 cache. But even more impressive at this price is its unlocked multiplier. From our experience, the great majority of Phenom II X4 955 processors can run just as fast as the Phenom II X4 975 with a simple BIOS multiplier change from 16x to 18x. That's an easy way to put this $140 processor on par with a stock ~$210 Core i5-760 when it comes to gaming." Can't go wrong with your setup!

Hey Topcat you're absolutely right. I was reading through some posts early on and noticed a lot of people talking about the Crash to desktop while programming their joystick and also people hearing the Master Caution during startup (until engines spooled up) so I just "assumed" they were known early bugs. I'm going to look into Nats recommendation and see if that helps. =/ My bad!

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone knows if there is a short term hot fix in the works to fix the CTD during setup and the other minor bugs. Or will it be fixed in the next long term patch? Loving the game though!
