Sorry for the OT.
Thanks Concrete, I think I'll get it anyhow.
I'll propably also get the russian DL of BS... just to stress myself out.

Concrete,
Is it any good?, I've seen some movies from SimHq and I've got the Demo

man, you're very lucky to have a wife that's wants to fly with you!
I know, she also shares my passion for scale models (actually both of us are working on KA-50's at the moment, hers from Italeri, mine from Zvezda). I'll never complain.

I agree Skipper, Still there are other cool stuff around, I will propably be getting T-34 vs Tiger aswell, just to keep me busy. and my wife still wants to get into some dogfighting in IL-2. I think I'm fairly lucky that I have very diverse interests.

Well...good for you. You will get what you want in afew days, but the rest of us will have to wait years more. :P
Unfortunately not, still no plans for an F-14 sim, I take what I can get, and try to enjoy myself.

I am sad but if I waited so many long years I can wait few days or months longer. For me important is game is technically ready.
I agree completelywhat is a few months compared to the years we have waited, besides I think it's wrong to start bitching and moaning when there finally is a new super detailed simulation out.
This is a niche games that requires a lot more work than the annual releases like the EA Sports series (Not demeaning it I play Madden like a sucker).

Wags already said specificaly it will be available the 17th OR SOON AFTER... next week still falls in this category.
What Kuky said. Spend the time catching up on the Producers notes, the SimHq videos or maybe even *ghasp* read a book.
I won't lose any sleep waiting for Black Shark, I have plenty of stuff to do, but I will eagerly await the game, life is too short to take delays personally, just my $.02

I guess it is a fairly reasonable business decision, the russian version is meant for the russian market, not the western market. I wouldn't take it too seriously pagadi-zaiet.

I'd be surprised if the DL version is released today.... pleasantly surprised but still surprised.
I'm thinking about getting it but it is price dependent, I'd still get the western version when it is released, which in my calculations at the very earliest will be mid to late december, but way more likely January/February -09

Thank you yeepeekai much appreciated!

No worries Skipper, I might have been a bit fast on the response, my apologies!.
Yeah still it does depend on the issue of distribution.
I even tried getting our multimedia director to try and sell DCS: BS but he declined , too much of a niche product so I got told off, and kinda laughed at aswell. Too bad simulations aren't taken seriously.

Skipper I'm not, merely comparing with russian price, first off danish customs takes 4,5 % then you have a standard sales tax on all consumer goods here 25% and you have to take into account the price of distribution and such (I sell games for a living)
I was just impressed by the price.

That's just 77,62 danish Kroner, and the price for a normal game in denmark is usually from 299,95 Kroner... I suspect the western release will be somewhat more expensive, at least I'd gladly pay the usual retail game price for it.

Showed it to my wife yesterday, she's now intent on getting a copy aswell, hope to get her turned to the dark side of realism and hardcore simulation.

I'd love to see the F-14... but considering the dark clouds of secrecy concerning it still I'd never get my hopes up for it, I'd rather be happily surprised
Staffan

I'd like to be able to practice procedures and maybe even be allowed to use a limited arsenal on very few targets, maybe limit loadout to Vikhr and S-80s and the targets to some trucks and humVee's ample opportunities to train but plenty of openings so one would want the real game

Hows your moisture damage insurance GG... Looks like you could risk some flooded basement issues!!

I have favourites among the aircraft aswell, but I will be buying every module that comes along, if not for everything else then to support any future development. Also I'm not presompteous enough to say that I won't try something, I'll try anything at least once.. (still I might get back someday and eat my words followed by a huge humility pie)
Staffan
-
OT I know... I just hope that some of those that buys it next week will have the decency to show off some screens..
Staffan

I'll definetely get Black Shark, I've always liked helicopter games, and I've never been dissapointed by ED. I do look forward to other modules, but the sheer complexity means that I at least will have my hands full getting to grips with this one.
Staffan
-
I'll get the manual and the Demo then wait for the western release.. maybe I'll even manage to finish my 1:72nd scale Zvezda KA-50.

From what I understood when I had a lecture by the danish PEGI rep, the PEGI board (europe -Germany, that has their own system) will make an estimate of the product then all the member countries have a period in which they can make changes to it, short story is, harshest comments win, which is a bit sad here in Denmark where we have no laws on the subject, PEGI is just a service, I won't get canned if I sell something like GTA IV to a 5 year old kid. but in other countries PEGI is gospel, they have laws on the matter and any publisher selling anything without a grading could end up in serious trouble.
I think that ED would have been more pleased if no legislation existed but rules are rules. Which reminds me I have to attend a huge EA party tomorrow.... mmm Free Beer

I'm pleased with the CP system used, I'll propably get both a DL and a hardcopy, just to have something to flaunt for all the simheads that pop by my place..
I can understand the need for a good CP (profit on a computer or console game in Denmark is normally less than 18%, compare that to other stuff in the store I work where we can make 450% profit) it is clear that the huge investment should be protected..
One thing, will the printed manual be offered for sale before the game hits the shelves/distribution system??

Good news Wags... Thanks.
Hah and I have been forced to really get accustomed to PEGI which isn't law bound here in Denmark.. LOL
