(there is a DCS channel http://www.xfire.com/communities/dcsbs/)

 

So it seems xfire guys are a bit slow updating games (see FC2). I've modified the game to allow for detection of both FC2 and Ka-50 (latest 1.0.2 patch changed the executable)

 

Just open C:\ProgramData\Xfire\xfire_games.ini and search for lomac and blackshark entries and modify them like this:

 

[4201]
LongName=Lock On
ShortName=lomac
LauncherDirDefault=F:\DCS\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\bin\x86\stable\  (use your path here)
LauncherExe=Launcher.exe
DetectExe=simulator.exe
Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
InGameRenderer=D3D9
InGameFlags=USE_PRESENT|ENABLE_MOUSE|DISABLE_FOR_VISTA

 

[5774]
LongName=DCS: Black Shark
ShortName=dcsbs
LauncherDirDefault=F:\DCS\Ka-50\bin\x86\stable\  (use your path here)
LauncherExe=Launcher.exe
DetectExe=simulator.exe
Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
InGameRenderer=D3D9
InGameFlags=USE_PRESENT|ENABLE_MOUSE|DISABLE_FOR_VISTA

 

I guess everytime the xfire updates the file this will be erased until they update it officially.

Doesn't work for me mate. Xfire doesn't find either.
