Patch 1.0.2 for "DCS: Black Shark"

[Ulrich]

This patch adds multiplayer compatibility between the Black Shark and Flaming Cliffs 2. As such, either game can host a multiplayer mission that both products can fly in.

 

Several additions and a few bugfixes have also been included in this patch.

 

For a more complete list of changes and improvements, please refer to the readme1.0.2_en file.

 

You may download the patch from the 1.0.2 EN page, http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/patches/dcs_bs_patch_1.0.2_en/

 

Please note that the most correct way of 1.0.2 install is:

 

1. Install clean 1.0 release version and activate (or have activated and not deactivated 1.0 or 1.0.1).

2. Install 1.0.2 patch.

 

Please check the path of 1.0.2 patch install to avoid questions and problems.

 

For those who have "BS installation not found, patch installation interrupted" message (it may appear in case your Operating System was reinstalled):

 

You may install release version again, it will not ask you for activation, and 1.0.2 installer will found it. Or you may like to add registry stings with a path to 1.0 version yourself:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'Software\Eagle Dynamics\BlackShark', 'Path', BSPath

or something like

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'Software\\Wow6432Node\Eagle Dynamics\BlackShark', 'Path', BSPath

for 64-bit Win-7 OS.

 

1.0.2 patch or new install of 1.0.2 version do not require new activation if your version wass activated already.

Nothing in the readme about fixing the sound engine....

[JG11Preusse]

BROADCASTING RADIO STATIONS

Broadcasting stations in game are not accessible any more. This restriction has appeared in connection with a new sound engine introduction.

[Eries]

Thanks....i missed that reference...

 

Thought it would have got a section of its own.......

 

Good catch though !!!

"Black Shark game not found! Installation interrupted!"

 

Perhaps because I did install a new OS and activated the old installation.

Do I really have to re-install BS now? I already used so many unlocks because of corrupt installations, CPU changes and especially failed re-activations (with deactivation-key)

[HitchHikingFlatlander]

Thanks for the patch!

[CAT_101st]

this is good news. I will now have to go and edit a few of my FC2 missions to add in the KA-50.

Thanks Ulrich!

 

I'd go for the regedit-solution.

However, didnt work yet.

You mentioned

 

lockOnPath

 

I guess you wanted to say the path to Blackshark?

 

I created a Eagle Dynamics Key in Software, a Blackshark Key in the ED key and there a string called Path with the value D:\Spiele\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50 (which is my BS install dir)

 

Didnt work so far. Do you see my mistake?

[DualFulcrum]

Modman 7.02 work with this new patch? to me it doesn't work "Mod Manager will close"

[Ulrich]

Didnt work so far. Do you see my mistake?

 

Do you have a 64-bit OS? Then try to use

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Eagle Dynamics\BlackShark

key.

 

Can't see any other mistake now, maybe reinstall will help faster?

OMG how long to Russian version..... :P

[Griffin]

Great job ED! The problem is, I can't try it this weekend...

Downloading and seeding on torrent.

Sort of shame but I rather want the spanking new engine! I assume the internet radio mod still works.

Yes Ulrich, I will re-install :)

Thanks for your quick replies!

Thanks everyone! I've been looking forward to this and am really happy it came before I have a (very) brief holiday in a couple of weeks. Will be enjoying ED products for a long time I reckon.

See you in the skies as they say
