Personally, I cannot understand the tactics employed here. Hardcore sim games like this are ususally played (and purchased) by more mature people who are less likely to pirate. However it is already the case where you can pirate this game which gets away from the need to activate..... Bit harsh to have scummy little ******s have an easy ride, but loyal purchasers to be screwed over.

How about you go **** yourself. Your comment would be applicable for standard games, but for a specialist game like this, your comment is foolish and damaging. Just like you don't just buy a house based on its looks, the same applies here. This game would not be half the game without a decent community and support..... And I'm sure if you asked one mods/owners if they would like people supporting their product by enticing others.....im sure they would like it. Wow..... I can just see you running a sucessful business. If I was a small minded person, I would take it personally, **** off and go and pirate myself a copy. Thankfully most people here have been fantastic and supportive, something which is enticing me to purchase this software. No point having a complex sim without having a great community to work with :) Thank you very much Rockstar, will probably purchase it later :) Cheers

My apologies, I was giving the values which my internet could produce. eg I have a 1mb package with 128kb upload which gives me 100kbps and 14kbps. :)

This gives me 100kbps and 14kbps

Its not really the money that im quibbling about, but where I spend my money. I have resolved to spend my money more ethically. eg I download films now before I buy them, as I refuse to support movies which contravene my beliefs. (kingdom of heaven anyone:D). Whilst its to a lesser extent with games, I just want to make sure my money is justified :) (Its alright, im not going to pirate this ;)). The quick and friendly responses from the community alone have got my finger twitching :D. Oh and one FINAL question :P:helpsmilie: can I run 2x 24" monitors without to much performance hit? cheers

Thanks for the replies people, good to know there is a healthy community :D Im really REALLY tempted to get this, as I love the idea of sims rather than BF2 esque flying. My final 2 questions :doh:are: 1: Will the engine ever be updated. Im not a graphics whore, but http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/img/products/large/6c3af06465fae7bcadbc18a1e34da4d9.jpg still hurts my eyes slightly (must be 2009 thats doing it :D). 2: How well will it run on my internet connection if I play online.(I can get 100kbps downstream and upload at 14kbps). (a megabyte in 10 secs). My latency isnt TO bad....

Can you persuade me to buy DCS Black Shark? That is indeed the question. :D There are a number of things that I want to clarify before I laydown my money on this software. 1- What is this lark about activations etc. I don't have to pay more money when they run out do I? 2- How will it run on my pc? Its not very high spec but I game at 1920x1200. Core 2 Quad Q9450 45nm 12mb @ 3.00Ghz (Is the game multithreaded) 4Gb 2x2Gb 800Mhz 4-4-4-12 1t 8800 GTX OC 2x1Tb HDD Can I run at high settings? 3- How well does the X-52 Pro run? I have one, but would like to know if I can get better (within sensible cost) to increase realism. Many thanks. I look forward to placing money with company who make such good stuff.

What a sweet setup. You liking the G25? I found it a real letdown personally. You using a projector for the g25?

is that the X52 Pro? Mine is on its way :D :D :D Does it have LEDS like the cheaper version? Bloody bastards decided not to deliver the parcel today, so a wait is on :( (Coming in Post, Z-5500 to upgrade from G500, X52 Pro, Canon 400D with some lens, 16gb Compact flash) :mad:

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

or did you use soft whatever its name. :|

pwns my rig in looks anyway :( :D Whats under the hood? You using Matrox triple head? That was my plan til I found out that you cant use 24" monitors.....

I cant search for the term X52 pro :( Any ideas? I just made an impulse buy and want to see if its worth keeping or not. cheers
