It would be nice to have some kind of converter from other formats. I don't know how complicated is developement for LockOn or DCS, so I don't know if it would be possible to make an application that loads one of the standard 3d format (obj, collada, fbx...), and converts it to internal LO/DCS format. There are many people who make planes to other sims, and they just can't afford 3dsMAX, so they are using freeware and cheap alternatives like Blender, 3dCanvas, Softimage ModTool, and many more. Most of them have enough tools to make a complicated 3d models for a simulator/game.

Because I like to have dvd on my shelf, not because I'm against digital distribution. That's the only reason I've bought dvd version.

I know that pitbull, but I fly many various sims (mostly DCS, FSX, and few others occasionally) and it would be nice if Saitek's software would load a profile automatically, like TrackIR. That's why I thought about DcsMax support for Saitek's profiles.

Wow, didn't know that! I'll try when I'll get home, thanks!

Haven't tried DcsMax 1.6.1 yet, but I have a humble request that would be very helpful to Saitek joysticks users. Would it be possible to make DcsMax load Black Shark profile in Saitek's profile manager? I quite often forgot to load my profile and have to alt-tab to windows after startig simulation to select Black Shark profile. Oh, and thanks for very useful tool :)

Come on guys. Even professional software comes without printed manual these days. Check this out, a manual for a $600 software: http://www.e-onsoftware.com/order/ProductInfo.php?id=685 Six hundred bucks for a software, and you have to buy a printed manual if you want it. I don't see the point to complain on ED.

Thanks for update, I've bought Black Shark dvd version today, can't wait for the manual.

I'd buy that one!

I can't watch your movie on youtube too, downloading from jabog.

Thanks. I assume internet activations will be limited to certain number of activations and deactivations like in download versions? I'd prefer dvd-check, but I think I can live with activations though.

Thanks Wags for update, I haven't tried Black Shark yet, because I prefer hard copy over download version. I have one more question. Have you already decided how English DVD version copy protection will look like? Dvd check like in Russian version, or will it require internet activations (I hope not ;) )? Thanks.

They uses their own engine.

Who needs a demo, I'm waiting for English dvd version ;)

You guys are having fun, don't you? :P Gimme the Hind!

I want Ka-50 boxed version, I havent flown it yet. :D Besides this I want Hind, and carrier capable jet.

Stunning! My favourite modern aircraft :D

Nope, GF8800GTS. EECH probably may work with 169 drivers, but those drivers are terrible with FSX on my system. I have 30 - 60fps in FSX with latest drivers, with 169 I had 10 - 20 fps only :cry:

Congratulations arneh, stunning work! Unfortunately I won't be able to check this beauty, EECH doesn't work on my rig :(

It's not true. 30FPS in games is very different than 24FPS in movies for example. You don't have a true motion blur in realtime computer graphics, that's why difference between 30 or 60 FPS in games is very big. I agree with ryuzu. You can't blame NP that they don't want others to use their software. I guess they have invested a lot of money to produce their software for TrackIR, and now 'a competition' is just using it.

Cool. :thumbup:

What about third party addons? Let's say someone would like to make a plane with vectored thrust, is DCS engine flexible enough to let this happen?

+1 Great idea!

Me too.

I have one question regarding English DVD version, sorry if it has been asked before. DVD version will be encrypted by Starforce, and will require online activation. Is it only one time activation after installation without limits, or is it ten times limit like download version?
