Some questions in interview format.

[Focha]

Hi there all.

 

I hope you are all ok.

 

I have here alot of questions that i want you to answer me if, of course, it is possible.

 

It is a sort of interview (not really, just some questions).

 

Ok, lets start;

 

1. Have you have already the system specifications that are necessary to run this simulation without the phantom of low FPS?

 

2. What are the aspects that you are changing and/or modify about Lock On: MAC (LOMAC) and/or Flaming Cliffs (FC)?

 

3. If yes, will you make some changes in scenery, for example, because Black Shark is a low flight simulation, will you give more detail at ground level?

 

4. Speaking in systems... In "LOMAC", for example, we were not able to switch on/off the master electrics (Battery/Generator) like is done with the SU-25T in "FC", will you change any systems like this in all aircrafts or you will leave it like it is now?

 

5. We now know that the cockpit in Black Shark (BS) is fully "clickable" with the mouse. Can you tell us if you plan to do this to all cockpits in the other fixed wings?

 

6. About the cockpit, Track IR 4 will be supported in "BS" with the 6 vectors (X, Y, Z, Roll, Yaw, Pitch). In LOMAC we only have 2 supported axis, Yaw and Pitch. Then when it came Flaming Cliffs we had 3 axis, Yaw and Pitch plus the Z axis that was more like a zooming feature. Will Black Shark feature 6 vectors in all cockpits?

 

7. As this combat flight simulation will be played online like "LOMAC"/"FC" do you intend to make two or more helicopters for others nations (for example AH-64, Tiger, etc)? Of course in the most of cases crew in combat helicopters are two, Pilot and CPG (co-pilot gunner), it would be real cool if we can fly online with other person being Pilot or CPG like it was in old sim "Longbow 2". Are you making something like that?

 

8. Talking in adding some helicopters, will you put some naval component to the US side, like a F/A-18 or F-14?

 

9. Ok this is the final question, final but not least, have you already have a precise release date and it will be available in stores across the globe or just on your site via download?

 

Thank you alot for your time and continue with the great work.

 

Best regards for all.

If you go to the lockon.ru site & check (& read) the black shark page, then look at a few of the videos available there, most of these questions will be answered (except the release date)

[Focha]

Ok you are right.

 

I read the text from www.lockon.ru about the "BS".

 

But now i have more questions. How it will be multiplayer gameplay, will all the nations fly the same helicopter, will US nation or Spain or other like UK fly all the KA-50? I think, and its just a opinion, that they should do at least one more combat helicopter. And i think from the begining they do the mistake of not allowing full add-ons support, correct me if im wrong. I think this simulation would have a great improvement if the community were able to do cockpits, models, systems and all sort of things that is missing. Im not criticizing for the bad point of view. I just what that Lock On became the best simulation around. And if they just want, or are only able to model one helicopter i think they should release some tools so the community continue with the add-ons and improving LOMAC. I think that the company makes the sims, but the community carry on with the mission. I just want that they think about it.

 

Best regards to all.
