The game is called DCS: Black-Shark then why my helicopter is brown??

[GGTharos]

ED is currently considering changing the name of the game to

 

DCS: Brown Shark

 

for you.

[joey45]

still think it should be DCS: Werewolf

If you're going to register on this forum just to troll, do it like this guy did. :thumbup:

 

 

P.S. Be glad it isn't called "Pink Shark". ;)

in this topic i would like to say, for the Default skin, should be black and not brown. But you all can put something like Pink Shark Baby in the name, should be nice too :D

A black KA-50 was the feature flight player in a movie called "Black Shark" and the name stuck. At least that's what it says on pg 1-9 of the manual. :-)

What you are experiencing is not a bug but a feature. It's called Automated Training Assessment Unit (in russian "Нет преступления, предназначенных, мой друг").

 

Since there's no two-seater trainer version of the Ka-50, some way had to be devised in which flight instructors could evaluate overall student aptitude during their first flight, from a safe distance.

 

The ATAU is cleverly implemented as a relatively small probe situated in the bottom of the pilot's seat. It consists of a very precise accelerometer that measures force on the probe, and yields a fail-proof assessment of the pilot's suitability during a solo, AP-off hover. This accelerometer is then connected to a series of electronic equipment that activate a plasma field generator outside the helicopter located in the tip of the right winglet. The plasma field would in turn then polarize the light bouncing off the Shark's surface according to the electric signal generated by the mentioned equipment, generating a color coded response that you appreciate as "brown". This is of course fully modelled in DCS:BS.

 

When the Red Army pilots where initially introduced to the BlackShark, they where delighted by the advanced targeting systems but expressed some concerns about the appropriateness of the mentioned instrument. Kamov's scientists then found that by using less reliable equipment in some other areas they could spare enough generator power to install a more advanced, pupil dilatation measuring device on the HMS. The airmen where much more satisfied with the enhanced prototype and the Army approved the mass production of the Hokum. When the first units got delivered to combat squadrons and the pilots found they had to keep a mental track of the times their lasers where used, during combat, and that they'd have to find a way to take a 30 minute pause in hostile airspace while their targeting equipment cooled down, Kamov's internal mail system collapsed with energic requests to bring the probe back, bigger if necessary.

 

Kamov's top scientists where at the time quite busy figuring out a way to make a coaxial tail rotor helicopter with no main rotor, (poker bets where taken very seriously in Soviet Russia), and the job of modifying the production units was then assigned to a lower team of "interns", a management innovation introduced from the West by a then young politician with a strange forehead birth mark. The interns, of course, took the pilot's request literally and installed back the probe, never replacing the laser system. They where proud of their efficiency and developed a strong team spirit that helped them very well cope with their next assignment in deep Siberia.

 

All this matter did not make the Red Army specially happy, they would discontinue the use of the Ka-50, and some of the more radical elements even suggested using the Ka-50 as a test probe for the now not-so-young politician ability to govern the country. Luckily for us all, the moderates triumphed and after a casual light cold, the politician was deemed not necessary any more and the world became the multi-polar paradise we enjoy today.

 

As for the DCS:BS implementation, this feature is the reason why you must combine a series of key presses in order to force the virtual pilot to take a seat. In the default mode the pilot will stay comfortably enjoying a warm coffe in a Starbucks near Mineraln'ye Vody giving you a very slight finger every time you fly by. DCS AI is not so dumb, after all...

LMAO 1st its Dark Falcon and now its DCS Brown Shark.:lol:

Do'h :doh:

Why did that first appear in DCS and not in Lo-mac??? :smilewink:

 

*Edit* Why is the A-10a not a real Hog?:music_whistling:

Eddie Murphy - Delirious "...and then a big brown shark came"

 

thats the first thing that came to mind when I read the OP

 

ha ha!

 

I'd post a youtube link but won't due to copious amounts of profanity

[msalama]

Huh? Of course it's friggin' brown. Well mine is at any rate. See, I usually wipe my underpants on it after a mission - if I'm back that is :helpsmilie:

 

Never mind the smell. It's the flies that get to you after a while.

Veeery interesting translation!

 

At least: «Нет преступлений предназначенных, мой друг…»

Спасибо!!

 

So the plural makes all the difference in correct grammar? or you're implying that there are multiple offenses in my text? :cry:

 

My native tongue is spanish... I can only be blamed for trusting google...
