In this case I'd like one as well. Will pay in GBP :-) PM?

But is it legal?

The first impressions are that it's amazing, fantastic, awesome and more then we could ever expect, plus performs well on older machines. But we can't have it, cause we are from the evil west :smilewink:

I'm sure I'm not the only one sitting at work refreshing the entire forum every 2 min :music_whistling:

Tried to buy the russian DVD box online from suggested links but it seems that the only way to buy from the "West" is through Monegram\WesterUnion :( I'm in UK, I reckon I can't wait any longer :)

This is no doubt the best manual in the history of computer games and simulations and we haven't seen the 600 page one yet. :smartass:

It's beautiful, simply beautiful. A balm for my soul and a tear in my eye. We've been waiting for so long, just need to hold for one more day till the russian version is available online but a day after seeing the manual is like an eon!

Hah, it all makes sense now. BK - "balon kislorodnyi" (oxygen canister) probably followed by the model number. Great stuff, many thanks

Does anyone know\can guess what does it say on the blue canister? I presume its part of the fire extinguishing system?

So is it a general consensus that the cockpit colour that is used widely varies and is not specificaly linked to the night or day version? IE its unlikely that the night version has anything buy black cockpit but the daytime versions could have anything depending on the specific machine?

Got that walkaround already thanks. Good gun and weapon pics however not high enough resolution to see what is going on properly. Here is a picture from the game in comparison, it looks very simple. Is the cockpit black or light colour for the night version then? The walkaround is of the daytime version yet the cockpit is black.

Hi guys, As the release of BS seems to be quite far away to keep myself calm I started building a 1:48 scale Ka-50 model using a Revell kit as a base but with a lot of scratch building and reworking. The problem is finding good high res references. Now I have about 150 pictures including the ones from a recent walkaround post as well as the Polygon book. However there is still lots of "grey areas" or photos are just not high res enough. I wonder if any of you can help? Several quick questions: 1)There seem to be several cockpit colours, I've seen black, grey, blue and turquoise. As well as different insturment setups. Are they related to different incarnations, operation areas or just year of manufacture? 2) There doesn't seem to be any close up pictures of the main gun and the screenshots from the game that I've seen seem to be simplified? The bit I'm interested in is the bobbins under the wing, hydrolics etc. 3) No good hi res picture of the rear chassis and it's hydrolics. There are many more but tha's a start :) Hope somebody can help.

As stated previously. As much of 3D cockpit as possible with some Track IR, flicking switches etc.
