RockStar Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 I just saw a Black Shark promo vid where the pilot took a couple puffs and flicked his smoke out the door before closing it. Can this be enabled in the real game? At the end of the video was a set of....legs ;) can that be enabled too...lol :music_whistling: Here's the vid.. Rock on, be strong! :thumbup:

RockStar Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 the high heels is what makes me laugh.. id rather not have to see this in my sim thanks.. LOL I'm not sayin I want to see it all the time...Maybe just on the occasional late night, lol.:D Rock on, be strong! :thumbup:

Chibawang Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Great video, but I don't think (hardly) any of that was actually in game. I wish we had effects like that in DCS. Those explosions were AMAZING! It makes things feel much more exciting to have visual effects like that.
geogob Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I don't know. Chibawang. Except the smoking part (:p) that's pretty much how the game looks on my side.
Chibawang Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 That's hard for me to believe, seeing as how I have graphics maxed out and more than competent hardware. Maybe you're just not seeing the difference. It's not dramatically different in the video, but the effects are definately more lively and varied. Also, the AI seems to be alot more active than what I've seen and heard others comment on.
Draco Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 the high heels is what makes me laugh.. id rather not have to see this in my sim thanks.. LOL I'm not sayin I want to see it all the time...Maybe just on the occasional late night, lol.:D lol... my girfriend has the exact same shoes. And they are great for "the occasional late night"
slug88 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 As geogob said, besides the smoking and high heels, I'd say my game looks identical. And where are you seeing the AI being more "lively" than it is in our game? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Chibawang Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I was referring to the vehicles taking evasive action when fired upon, instead of sitting like fish in a barrel... I'm getting the sense that people are going on the defensive about my comment. There's no reason for that, I'm not complaining about the game. Like I said, it's not a black and white difference, and I could be completely mistaken, I don't know.
BaD CrC Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Agreed on the lack of evasive actions in the real game. I wish we could have something as fun as in LB2. Anybody else noticed the cockpit view of the A10? Video mix with Lock on? Also how can you have these different views like the one from the rear of the rocket launcher? Anyway, fantastic job of video editing. I wish I could do just half as good.... :cry: https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
Chibawang Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 There's a view option called "Weapon to Target." I'm not sure what the keys are, but it's in there.
slug88 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I was referring to the vehicles taking evasive action when fired upon, instead of sitting like fish in a barrel... If you're referring to that Abrams in the beginning, I think all it's doing is driving off road to avoid the burning hulk on the road ahead of it, just as the AI will currently do. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Rhino4 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 This video was made waaay back when black shark was intended to be another add-on for lockon (hence, you see the a-10 being flown as well). Lots of special effects and video editing were used and a few lockon specific tricks were employed as well. Anything you take from this video cannot be applied to the final black shark production... As for vehicles supposedly taking evasive action, I suppose you're refering to the spot at 20 seconds and again at 4:38? When you have a convoy, and you blow up one of the vehicles at the front, all of the other vehicles will continue straight until they get to the one that blew up and then they will go around that vehicle to continue with their waypoints. That is all you are seeing. A vehicles was destroyed and the vehicle directly behind it turned left (his left, our right) to go around that vehicle. There is no evasive action in DCS:BS. There are only stationary targets, and targets that move in straight lines...;) As for the explosions and such being somehow larger than they are in DCS, there is a way (config file, i believe) to change the size and duration of fires after an explosion...As for anything else you may imply about this video...It's called sony vegas, and it's one helluva video editing program. (Although it costs an arm and a leg, it's totally worth it.) One final note: read the description for the video: A recent technology demonstrator video from the third installment of Lock On: Blackshark featuring the russian Ka-50 Black Shark helicopter("vertalot").
Chibawang Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Thank you for confirming that special effects were added. The AI was a bit of a stretch I suppose, especially since it was only a few seconds of video. The movement just seemed less automated and mechanical, or as I said, more "lively." But that could also be because I never look at tanks that close up when I'm firing upon them.
