Itkovian Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Salutations. I do not have DCS, but am something of a rabid study sim fan and DCS Blackshawk certainly looks very appealing (I haven't gotten it yet because I need to free up time to even start thinking about tackling another study sim *grin*). That said, I must admit I love the DCS concept. If I understand correctly, that is of having complex study-level simulations of different aircraft released as "expansions", all functioning within the same package. However, I must admit I do not know where to find official info about the upcoming "packages". For example, where is the A-10 "expansion" announced? Or even rumoured? The only place I could find any info on it is on sim HQ. I would appreciate any information, thank you. Itkovian

CE_Mikemonster Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Yeah, thanks for the link, read it before but since lost it. Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T
Itkovian Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 And what will it be exactly? is it an expansion to DCS blackshark? Or is DCS some sort of common interface that they will be releasing "plug-in" aircraft and environments? Thank you. Itkovian
EtherealN Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 It will be a stand-alone product. The goal is that it will be multiplayer compatible with DCS:BS. (Kind of like how there was a stand-alone sub game a while ago that was multi compatible with a completely stand-alone destroyer game.)

Itkovian Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 Ah, I get it. Cool. Well I'm buying Black Shark tonight anyway. I'll have to order the manual separately though. I loved Longbow 2, having another helicopter sim is quite exciting. :) In fact, when I read the preview about the full ramp start and shutdown procedure, as well as the fact you can (and probably will) spend hours messing around on the tarmac learning the avionics, I knew I needed it. :) Itkovian

26-J39 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Yeah then there's more!! Try leaning all the features of the ABRIS system alone!!! :thumbup: Punching in WPT co-ordinates manually in the PVI... Lots to learn.. Love it ;)
Itkovian Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 Installed the game last night and patched it, works nicely (though granted I haven't tried a cmapaign or anything - is there a framerate hit for campaigns?). I figured out how to crash the helicopter! :) Oh, and that at least one of the beeps I was hearing was a threat warning indicator. :) I must admit I loved the first training "mission". That's one beautiful aircraft. Itkovian
Celo63 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Since each new module will have a "new engine", what will happen to the original BS engine? Will it be updated alongside the new modules or will there come a day when BS is no longer "multiplayer campatible" with the latest modules due to big engine differences? How is this going to be handled so that BS stays parallel with new modules?
GGTharos Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 That is to be determined. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

Lots of virtual fresh air. I could do it over and over again:lol:. I used to love her, but I had to kill her I had to put her, six feet under And I can still hear her complain A tribute to BBetty and NNadja :bye_3:
Celo63 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 That is to be determined. Cross that bridge when we come to it. I thought that might be the answer but asked the question anyway :D Thanks for the reply. Cheers :thumbup:
