Updates to black shark

[bogusheadbox]

Just wondering if there is any proposed updates to Black shark other than (possibly) bringing it inline with DCS A-10

 

E.g.

For one i would like to see the temperature guage working so we can anticipate icing conditions before ekran throws a fit.

[Lixma 06]

Hopefully.

 

One thing that's bugged me for a while is the bug/cheat/feature whereby you can tell which target is alive or dead by whether the Shkval will give you a track indication. Kind've kills the immersion having such a God-like device. Plus the generally mental wingmen..etc..

 

Just have to sit tight until A-10 is up on it's hind legs.

Currently THE most important thread in the Black Shark sub-forum. ED?

[bogusheadbox]

Well for added bump, i will add a few more items that i would like to see rectified

 

 

- Magtnetic variation dial

- Hud tape in nav not showing degrees magnetic. (well if it is, its certainly not corresponding to the magnetic compass nor Abris slaved to degrees magnetic)

 

Is there a problem with the DCS BS or LO2 engine with magnetic variation ? Does DCS hog suffer the same fate ?

I've heard additional updates are not likely to be done... I mean example damages, when Rita says use TV to attack and so on...

I'm actually hoping for Mission Generator and maybe even Commander Mode as in A-10. Mission Generator (in place of Dynamic Campaign) is something that was sort of promised by ED long time ago.

[dooom]

wow - if my wishlist matters at all, this is what I'd like in BlackShark (in no particular order):

 

1. JTAC calls from field for targeting for mission editor.

2. Integrated Teamspeak tied to Radio or integrated voice comms.

3. Tunable frequencies for airfields.

4. s-8 Bunker busters and anti armour mine for KGMU

5. working temp guage

6. Rain streaking on windscreen/schkval to necessitate the wipers.

7. Improved flight briefing for multiplayer missions.

8. Bring back radio maykop

9. Reliable track files

10.Nightime texture illumination fixed.

 

^^ these are just the little irritants/wishlists for what is an otherwise amazing sim.

 

Thanks ED - please keep offering us hope on the DCS series - you have patched Lomac up to such a great game... i hope to see ongoing support for the DCS titles likewise.

My two major party poopers are well known:

- wingman AI

- lack of proper haze/fog implementation which results in, among others, transparency of objects in the Shkval display.

I want compatibility with A-10, and all the goodies that comes with that.

What do you mean by compatibility? IRL there's none as far as systems go, so we'll probably see ditto ;)

[sungsam]

Anyone mentioned Starforce AAA technology ? :)

He wants compatibility between the simulators - the same as DCS:BS has with FC2 for multiplayer.

Well if so then that's a great request actually. Seconded :thumbup:

DCS:BS will be compatable to DCS A-10C as i heard from ED an at Russian forum on DCS...

 

BS have all same stuff as A-10C on BS next patch for 1.0.2

 

but have wait till ED releases A-10C the final game an that wount be this year have wait little to 2011.. all me know on Russian forum... ^ ^

[EtherealN]

Yuya6104, no news. :P

Q: Will DCS: A-10C Warthog be online-compatible with DCS: Black Shark and Flaming Cliffs 2?

A: We hope to be able to release a compatibility patch for DCS: Black Shark after release. This would give Black Shark all the features of A-10C, except the flyable A-10C. Compatibility with FC2 is unlikely.

Christmas time, I am waiting for our gift.

 

Please please please please...

[martinistripes]

Question for ED... Do you have a seperate team working on BS, or must we all wait until the final release of Warthog for any BS improvements? I'm not talking about the big WH/BS compatibility patch, but just any improvements that address current issues. Waiting for WH release is painfully slow, especially when all you want is fixes for BS.

 

Would be great for ED to have several teams working on different products in parallel, although I do realise this is all cost/profit related.

After a recent conversation with Bucic, it seems that INU allignment is not modelled and alignment is instantaneous as soon as power is supplied to INU and nav.

[Boberro]

Yeah quite a lot of things weren't modelled at all.

Anyway hope to see those things in the future :)

I really doubt it, at least in the near future.

[Bucic]

You might have noticed that "series" description on the main DCS site mentions the ability to model various nav systems even though they are not used in DCS Black Shark. My guess is that ED models certain systems globally so if there's an update to the INU model itself Black Shark will get it too. In any other case we should not expect it to happen.
