After new video Cant wait anymore....

[hreich]

After new video, it is becoming very hard for me wait for a demo, or even finished BS...I dont remember the last time it was so hard for me to wait for a game to release...I think this is going to be THE FLIGHT SIM GAME of century!!!!

i too :)

Same here, buddy.

... and here. Can't remember how many times I wrote it down here today that I find it really hard to wait.

[Doggy]

Is there anyone who CAN wait?:D

... :no_sad:

[Boberro]

Me ^^, for now we have FC :D

It's gonna sound like a stupid suggestion..but in the interim, if you haven't tried out the old classic Vietnam MedEvac or Search & Rescue 4..they are actually quite good in the helicopter physics department. Not exactly cutting edge graphics..but maintaining a hover in crappy weather or sling loading supplies into a base can be pretty cool.

I know it isn't a real good substitute..but it might get you in "rotorhead" frame of mind.. ;)

have both [and very good games] but I can't get my 52 to work with them.

Yep..same problem for me. Actually, I *can* get them to work, but the problem is the collective axis is being reported as the little slider there under your thumb on the throttle. The cyclic works fine..and I actually learned to fly the helos using that little slider.

 

By the way, the trick to getting the X52 to work *at all* in Vietnam MedEvac, for me, was to leave the controller unplugged until you start a mission, then plug it in right when it goes to the splash screen where it says the mission is loading. If I left my X52 plugged in, the controls would default to a diving left bank. The lack of controls mapping is a shame..and the fact that the UH-1 sounds like a Eurocopter Dauphin... ;)

+1

[Force_Feedback]

You gonna live for 92+ years? Good luck with that :/

 

This will be the best heli FM so far, no doubt about it. And an ejection seat for when you mess up, or have microcumulative holes all over the thing :)

[joey45]

'the slider' didn't even think of trying that....

 

might have to do a re-install. Thanx mate

Where is this "New Video"? Its not on the DCS site and I don't see a thread about it?

The video itself is at the bottom of the SimHQ article.

 

To all - we really enjoy and appreciate your enthusiasm and support for this project. However, I'd warn you against setting it up as some kind of simulation panacea. Black Shark will certainly set some new standards for PC-based military flight sims - especially in regard to player-controlled aircraft modeling - but it will also fall short of some others. Like all sims that have come before it and all that will come after, it will be a balance of accomplishments and shortfalls. One ED staff member put it this way - if simulation 'B' is part of a line of simulation products, than you can expect it to be better than simulation 'A', but not as good as simulation 'C'. In other words, Black Shark takes many important steps in the right direction, but it still leaves a lot of room for further development, which ED fully plans on pursuing in the DCS product line, of which Black Shark is only the beginning.

 

I think we have gone further than most developers in trying to discuss the product carefully, honestly and realistically in pre-release. If anyone accuses us of "hype" or false promises after release, they better have evidence collected, because it has been our focus to avoid these traps.

[BeachAV8R]

Well stated EB. I think accolades for its achievements and acknowledgments of where it can do better in subsequent versions is a good attitude to take. I figure by the time DCS gets to the Tornado add-on release they'll have perfected it.. ;) (Just kidding guys..but I do hope they would consider it.. :D )

For what it counts, I know all simm/games have short falls and, in my case, are expected. I have played many games simms (as I sure many of you have) that had a ton of short fall but where so fun to play. If BS just give me the Flight model it seems to promote, I think I would be happy. I can see a lot of online friends just getting together on line, have a few beers ( or prefer refreshing drink) and make fun of each others flying. Who has the worst hover or the worst landing, ect. I think that alone will be fun, just flying.

Would be cool to see the same "game" but with blackhawk in iraq

[Yeniceri]

blackhawk would be an intresting choice for a sim..

[joey45]

never played Gunship 2000...

never played Gunship 2000...

I used to play it on my modded 8MB RAM amiga - it was by far the best helicopter simulator to date, imho :D

[Canada]

Wow, great video. I was expecting to see the damage model in action, though. I've always been fascinated by realistic destruction in computer games. Is that something we could see in the (near) future ? Pretty please ?

It means you haven't seen FSX yet :)

[Boberro]

FSX with all best addons, Global 2008, xGraphics ect is simple amazing - of course on good PC :D. But when we gain graphics we lost avionics, realism of planes unfortunetely.

[VMFA117_Poko]

I always put realism before graphic. That's why I fold in love with Flanker 1.0 in an instant where wasn't any textures - just pure vector graphic and amazing FM.

Amazing isn't it? i dumped EF2000 like a sack of hammers after I bought the original Flanker.
