morsmortis Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 I remember Flanker 1.0 It was a great game that came out of nowhere. The flight model seemed superior to every other Flight Sim available at the time. The same is to be said about Ka-50. It is extremely revolutionary and from start-up you can tell it was aimed for a specific gamer. This truly is a study-sim like no other. I can only compare it to Falcon 4.0, but that isn't even a true comparison because Falcon's flight model was no where close to this. As far as helicopter flight models, I believe X-plane is probably closest even though it still feels it is leaps and bounds above it. Some points to be made about flight model. 1. Expect to crash... and crash you will. A LOT. 2. Stick and Rudder... no seriously Stick and Rudder or see #1. 3. Getting hit by a missile feels like a @$%^# slap from god usually resulting in #1. 4. DO NOT push any buttons until you know what they do or see #1. 5. The blades can and do touch especially when you try to fly it like "airwolf". I can really empathize with Ka-50 pilots after flying around a little bit. The workload for a single pilot/gunner in a combat helo is truly the suck that most of us are going to have trouble getting used to. I am used to having that gunner in previous combat helo sims. Right now I can't even think about engaging the enemy; I am too busy learning how to fly again and keep this thing in the air. I am really shocked at how much has been simulated. The learning curve is going to be steep but well worth the climb to the top. I promise, you will not be disappointed. 6
Stalintc Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks for providing us with your impression! Sounds exactly what I am looking for, I think this sim will turn me from Falconite to rotorhead :smilewink: All the best for learning the KA-50 and I hope you are enjoying it! much as I will when it is available in the West! I am patient like crouching ninja grasshoppa!! Cheers mate!

RobGordon Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 WOW! Thanks for the review! :thumbup: Somehow I think the flight model will be harder to master than expected, but then again, it wouldn't be Black Shark if it were easy. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
159th_Viper Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Somehow I think the flight model will be harder to master than expected, but then again, it wouldn't be Black Shark if it were easy.

Cosmonaut Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Great post and it's your first..! :thumbup::thumbup: Lots of info in short concise presentation that just makes me even more eager to try BS. I've been a member of Hovercontrol for years and have flown lots of their missions, mostly SAR, in the toughest helicopters for FS9. It took me several months of flying time to master helicopters in that sim so I am dieing to see how I'll fare with the Ka50. Thanks for sharing. Cozmo.

Cosmo81 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) thats what my friend also said, basically what you want to do is think of yourself as the north end of a magnet, and then think the ground as the south end of a magnet, and then use your rotors and slide, also said not to use that much power on the blades. Anyone here can confirm this ? Edited October 20, 2008 by Cosmo81
