  1. I've personally had no problems running the RC on either XP or Vista regionalized to English.

    My Regional setting were Croatian. RU FC wouldn't start even if I change into English. I had to change into Russian, and so had to be done my two buddies that also have RU FC.

     

    I think when Wags says "RC", he means to the Release Candidate of BlackShark.

     

    So, while you may have had to change the language settings for FC, we may not need to worry about it in BS. (here's hoping :))

     

    Best Regards,

    I wonder if they have 2 code paths in source control, and have been checking in the Blackshark changes into both paths all along...

     

    Or maybe both engines are modular enough via interfaces, to simply plug-in the helicopter code into the new engine (unlikely).

    [/developer speak]

     

    Not that I really know what I'm talking about, but I don't think they would have to totally re-code the chopper portion in the new engine.

    What do you think? Does it suck?

  4. Say that you had to do an emergency startup of the KA-50, and had to navigate to a distant FARP, in the early morning darkness, with no external lights.

     

    What parts of the startup could be skipped, and how would you navigate to the FARP?

    Let's pretend that none of the waypoints or INU points were previously programmed.

     

    I assume you could start the ABRIS while you are flying and use the map to find the FARP? Would the ABRIS contain the cities in the area, so that you could avoid overflying them once you crossed into enemy territory?

     

    Do FARPs have radio beacons?

  5. From the FAQ:

    Q: Will DCS include a dynamic campaign system?

    A: The initial DCS campaign system will not self-generate missions. However, it will consist of any number of phases, which can include any number of missions. The player will move forward or back through the phases depending to his mission performance. When combined with the mission editor's trigger system, it can provide high replayability value and a sense of player impact on the campaign.

    I too would like a fully dynamic campaign, but I think what they have planned will be much more interesting that the scripted missions that we have in Lockon.

     

    Cheers,
