[CAT_101st]

Don't be so lazy:music_whistling:

 

Great Video. :thumbup:

 

I agree

 

and yes there will be

Do you guys plan on shipping BlackShark with pre-made profiles for HOTAS such as the Cougar, Saitek X52 and CH Products setups?

 

Just having the keyboard commands loaded into the macro file for us ahead of time will save quite a bit of time creating a new profile.

There will be map of real KA-50 HOTAS in the manual so I prepare such profile even before premiere when we'll be able to download the manual earlier. If you want, I can share profile for vanilla X52.

Awesome video as always!

 

Wanted to see the flares though :)

 

If BS will be shipped with HOTAS setups i hope Saitek X45 also is in there.

@ Wags: Do you think you could turn the producers notes into track files/training tracks and include them in release? Would be cool to watch them in-game.

Are flares really that effective in real life? Obvioulsy it all depends on a lot of things but if you did the exact same thing as in the video in real life. If they're really that effective IR AAMs would be useless once the target knows about them...?! I find it hard to believe... and Wags wasn't just lucky right :p

You have to consider he used almost all the 64 flares on the left side within a couple of minutes. Won't be able to stay over the battlefield for long with that kind of usage.

OMG, #7 was the best one yet in terms of quality. The Track IR movements really gave you a strong sense of 3 dimensionality and the detail of that landscape was mindblowing. Sometimes I question the wisdom of spending so much time learning a game like this but when you show videos like this all my doubts disappear. I particularly liked the sequence with the SAMs coming up at the Black Shark. Very very nice.

 

 

WOW.

Well, thats why you start to pop flares as you ingress the target area like he did. Having the heater already tracking you and then popping flares is one thing, shooting out a clouds of flares as you ingress is another:

It would also depend on the IR missile's seeker.

Just the button on the UV-26 panel if I recall correctly.

 

The manual has full images and function call-outs for the collective and cyclic.

 

Excellent! Thank you! :-)

i really hope u guys get this on steam. its so convenient. (and thats a important point in these days of torrent sites)

[d0ppler]

I second that. Steam is a great online game market, the way it should be.

here's a mig-25 accelerometer doing the same thing as in this video:

 

 

and the magnetic compass is best modeled ever :D

I actually agree, steam is a fantastic online distribution service, and makes games harder to pirate, not only that, they will be in touch with the developers, allowing for automatic updates and such.

 

Anyone else want to follow up? I got distracted and forgotten all the points I was going to make...
