Same as Kuky. To me, most imporant things goes onto the stick like weapon swithcing, shkval slewing/zooming, trims, ECM and all the rest that is used when flying and fighting. But i flip the switches with my mouse when i startup and shut down. Ofcourse with a 3 mode joystick you could have most things on there, but it would be, to me, a bit far fetched to learn in all those buttons, cause lets face it, its fun flipping switches with the mouse! At least at this level of realism in graphics. That pit is... Magnificent. :) EDIT: Forgot to say that with several modes HOTAS (X45, X52 Saitek for example) you can have take off and landing procedure on the stick ofcourse. Like gears, flaps & airbrakes (umm maybe not in BS, but...), landing lights, wipers etc etc.

So is it worth to get Freetrack instead of TrackIR? I mean is it much cheaper but works equally good? Im getting one or the other along with CH HOTAS very soon. Regards Alex

No problem at all to photoshop something like that. Would be nice though if we could be given an ID when register BS. This ID could be checked somehow to see that its legit. Dont know how it would work, but sure sounds better than taking a picture of your face holding BS in your hand lol.

That is very smart actually.

Exactlly! :thumbup: EDIT: And big thanks for that info Wags!! Regards Alex

Thanks Skypat! :)

Thanks TorwaK for the shots! Really love this one, it looks so realistic: Regards Alex

Ok ok i got it! ;) So wags seems to be newer. Cool.

Where does wags post come from? EB1 said in the open letter that it will be around christmas (with reservation to change). So i just wonder wich is newer news. Posted today by EB1: "ED will now attempt to provide a western demo of Black Shark sooner than planned. We want to avoid date estimates and exact feature sets for now, but certainly a functional demo before the holidays is the goal. Please remember, these plans remain subject to change and, as you have seen, very well might." Regards Alex

Thank you for putting it up ED! EDIT: Damn thats some nice textures... Real professional! :thumbup: Regards Alex

Well we saw this coming. At least the healthy, thinking bunch on the forum. That some people are so ****ing thickheaded scares me, right out scares me.

What about one of those "startup sequence flash progg" thingys? Can we have that while we wait for western release ED? ;) Regards Alex

Not completely true. The A/C's DCS (ED) will release are based on all the info they can lay their hands on plus what they are permitted to let us civis use (un classified info). Since militaries order modules from DCS i would take those mil versions are as real as the PC and coding skills allow them to be. When those modules goes out to us civilians they will make classified systems simplified or "not to work in that exact way". So my point is that it is definatelly not just a bunch of "guess work" or what they "think" buttons will do when we press them. And since this is going to be the most realistic combat flight sim to date, i dont think its all fantasy based. At least i hope not. ;) PS. Dont take everything litteraly of what i said though, i reserve myself to be a bit off as well. But i hope i got it somewhat right. Right? :D Regards Alex

Isnt it their job to keep the forum rules in check? To do the tedius job of tidy up after people who dont read them? And also, some posts that have been deleted recently was about things that cant be discussed because of EULA. And then some more things they clearly stated million times not to talk about. Their just doing their job.

Correct my friend, no offence intended at all. :) Hope you got my point though about that now when it is being released (even is in RUS) the shouting for it begins again. Now when its finally here i just see it a bit "corny" for wanting to know the exact date. Like ok tomorrow, or in a week. In the big picture (been waiting myself since first announced as a LO addon) it feels a bit... who cares. If you know what i mean. I want this equally much as the next guy on this forum (dont know how many times per day i check in here...!), but now i know its here, at least around a short short bend compared to the long friggin highway it was on first when i came here. And im guessing its a bit annoying to the guys running this forum as well as they cant share what they dont know themselves (or not allowed to answer yet). So we push them and they push ED wich in their turn cant answer or tells them not to say anything yet. Must be crappy to not be able to please the members with the answers they want. And they clearly cant tell us atm, but yet we crave. We can be sure, or i know i can be sure of, that they will tell us when they have the info. I dont doubt that for a second. So no offence at all mate, it's just what I feel and think about this personally. And my sentences and words are probably not correctly put together many times as english isnt my native language. So im sorry if it was offensive in any way. ;) Regards Alex

LOL Skipper. :) yeah i know, crash crash and some more crashing, but i just tried for a second to have a more romantic view of it in my head. I even saw a sundown (bloody red one) with maybe 4 of us in perfect formation low sniffing some forest, briefed up and ready to scout out our first targets... aah, i get tears in my eyes thinking of that, its so beautiful. :cry: :D

Gary, i would have loved to see you here in the beginning of the year when the only answer was 2008... :doh: Many of these guys here have been waiting on this forum since 1850 or something like that, and ive been here since that famous 2008 answer came to be. Now where here. So please guys, just let them get everything done and ready without this childish nagging. The release date will soon just be a "bad" memory when we formation fly to our first targets. Regards Alex

Yes it has been seen. And it might not be legal to do that according to the russian EULA (at least what we have read so far). So better just leave it for now. EDIT: Why are my posts being so darn tall sometimes? I try DEL after last letter, but nothing helps, argh. Regards Alex

Go through this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=32530 And this: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=982&scr=products&lang=en ;) Regards Alex

Didnt see you post in the thread about the game mode. But heres the youtube video explaining how it is to fly in "Game Mode". Should be a lot of missions (or same) as in realistic mode i presume(?). Regards Alex

Recon missions are great. Luckily we get a very nice mission editor shipped with BS. So recon missions will definatelly come out sooner or later. Kinda like ArmA and its million missinos made by community people. And since the ME now supports triggers and such, missions can be made very very nice. Even trigger off sound recordings for example radio chatter that comes up at certain steer points/locations. A recon mission out of the box would be nice indeed, but rest assured, we will have all the missions we like in just a little while after release. At least i forsee this as i know many here love to make missions, including myself. ;) Best regards Alex

Sounds great Mortmortis and welcome! This is what we expected and DCS delivered. Cant be happier. :) Thanks.

Tackar för det! :) Thanks!

Didnt see any info about FC oly so im guessing i can use it in vanilla LO? Very nice job btw! Regards Alex

Are we there yet??? Are we there yet??? ...When its time, ED will tell us, be sure of that.
