DCS: Black Shark Producer's Note #6 Part 3 Available on Vimeo and You Tube

very nice, these videos will get the public up to speed on the vital features in Black Shark.

Nice !! positional displacement correction (HUD-Head) included ..nooot baad.

Also note the designated red square in ABRIS - the kill box ;)

Nice video :)

But have especial petition. In future videos, please use others videowebs, non youtube. Others web http://www.vimeo.com http://wuapi.com http://www.veoh.com http://divxvine.com

This webs have excelent quality, and same options youtube. Fast, easy and good for upload video.

Quality of youtube is very very veeeeeery bad.

 

And thanks again for this great video.

Wow...the launch parameters for the Vikhr seem strict! You have to have to put one reticule on top of each other to get a launch authorization? What if you override that (I thought I heard in the video that you can do this)? Will the missile still track? This is different than the Su-25T where you can get a missile to track at the limits of the Shkval 's field of vision, so I'm wondering if this is a real difference between the aircraft or an inaccuracy with the Frogfoot.

 

Btw...even on youtube's craptacular quality, the scenery looks gorgeous! :D

This PC modern combat aircraft simulation will rule the market for many years to come. I can't wait to put my hands on it ...

So cool :) Waking up, having a morning cup of coco and a new producers note. What's that spear looking thing in the front that has those moving blades? Looks like something Predator (the alien guy) would carry :)

 

Also love the fact that you could use that chopper almost like a dive bomber if carrying those little bombs :) And the textures are just beautiful. Lots of colour on the ground and water reflecting and stuff :) And the Artillery dust clouds as well.

 

Btw Wags sounded almost happy during this note so maybe the release of the sim is nigh :D

^lol

hello everyone.

Great vid! The landscape looks amazing, especially the clouds.

 

And: Lolz, helicopter bombs

I hate to say it, but we told you so... :)

What if you override that (I thought I heard in the video that you can do this)? Will the missile still track?

If the missile is fired outside of the reticle, it will not "catch" or "enter" the control zone and will go dumb. You have to picture the laser as a cone, originating in the helicopter's nose and widening out toward the target. The missile has to enter inside this cone to guide, but it can only do so about 100 meters ahead of the helicopter, where the cone is wide enough. So, if you fire the missile even a few degrees off, it will miss the cone entirely.

This is different than the Su-25T where you can get a missile to track at the limits of the Shkval 's field of vision, so I'm wondering if this is a real difference between the aircraft or an inaccuracy with the Frogfoot.

Inaccuracy with the Frogfoot.

I always happy damnit! :mad:

:)

 

Thanks for another "Note". It is really a nice surprise to see new one this morning.

Once fired and tracking, does the helicopter need to remain pointing at the target for the missile to continue tracking?

You have to point your nose heading the target zone as the Vikhr missile is a laser beam "rider".

So you can't move sideways pointing nose on the target? Only moving forward works I believe just like in Su-25T, am I right?

Cheers wags!

In LO you can fire Vihrs under 60 or above degrees (overriding LA) and Vikhr still tracks target, lmao, now we have full real :D

Is it me or weather visualisation has changed a little (new clouds and their density)?

So cool :) What's that spear looking thing in the front that has those moving blades? Looks like something Predator (the alien guy) would carry :)

I think thats the Pitot Tube http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot_tube#Industry_Applications with some extra things for meassuring. Can`t find more informations about it on the web. Maybe a Beta Tester can answer on this.

 

Thx for the third part Matt! Nice to see the helo with another skin.

There was a talk about it here on this forum. It's called DUAS-V.

(...)DUAS-V (on Mi-24s:thumbup:, Su-22s, Su-25s, think the same on BS) is two pairs of blades looking like arrowhead on a boom on the nose. Those are airflow direction sensors to the weapon computer: the horizontal pair is for the AoA, the vertical one is for the side-slip sensing. With this info combined with the radio (or baro) altitude and pitch&roll from the gyroscopes, the computer will know the position and angles of the weapon system's axis you're using to aim and calculates the current range of target (the theory is that we know one angle and one side of a rectangular triangle) without a laser rangefinder:). As a result you will see the CCIP on the HUD or the turret will move the gun for the right direction to hit. The computer can also release bombs automatically with this calculating method.

You see it is the technology of 70s with analogue computers but believe it is as precise as a brain surgeon:D

I hope it was simple;) At airshow static displays where we ain't have no dictionaries and questions are the same for hours, we sometimes explain that as a simple ion blaster, phaser gun or so... There must be some refreshing changes, hm?

Bye!
