  1. 1. Registration is difficult

Dear users! We urge you to refrain from discussing political topics on our forums. Thank you for understanding.

 

Ok then how about I post about such an issue - with a really simple thing called Registration which Eagle Dynamics has made it complicated?

 

Firstly, I hated it when I had to wait to "Complete Registration". Secondly, the Random Question is the worst edited I have to face. The questions were like what is another name for the Ka-50. Well, it can be its full name, the Kamov 50 or the NATO Reporting Name of Hokum A.

The first DCS product is DCS: Black Shark. Make a guess ;).

The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

The point of the question is for you to prove you actually possess a brain, and are not a collection of transistors. The point of the complicated registration is to keep spam and phishers away. What's the big deal?

When I discovered DCS, and this forum, it was when the A-10 came on the scene. I had completely forgotten about Black Shark, or didn't realize it was the same company, at the time. Had I been asked that question when I joined the forum, I probably would not have come up with the correct answer (sad but true!).

 

If ED wants proof of biological identity then they should choose more generic questions. Folks who are attracted by the WW2 aircraft might not even know, or care, about DCS Black Shark.

 

My two cents.

Not excatly hard to guess, though - first result on Google said "Ka-50 Balck Shark", so not knowing the DCS module would be a weak excuse.

I don't think one should have to resort to Google to answer an 'Are you human?' type of question.

It's right, but you can simply have a look at the modules icon in the upside bar whitout having to google it, reading "black Shark" in the middle of the Ka-50 module icon. I don't know anything about WWII, but if today someone would ask me what was the name of the F-190D, I would write "Dora" due to the forum Icon.
