What about a DCS:BS patch?

[Pigmachine]

Will BS ever get the love, a10c alreay got?

 

And if so, willt be compatible to a10c ?

Before Patch 1.02 was released BS only uses one Core of Multicore CPU s like i7 920

 

If you are aiming towards Multi GPU GFX card.

a nvidia 9600 or similar should be enough.

 

Cause the Sim Calculates most Graphics on CPU.

 

But i think this will change if BS gets the overworked Graphics engine like A 10 C uses.

[isoul]

Q) When do you foresee Black Shark/A-10C compatibility in missions, etc, being implemented?

 

A) We plan to provide a compatibility for Black Shark that will allow it to fly online with A-10C sometime later this year. First we need to polish up A-10C a bit more.

At last we got some info concerning the BS/WH compatibility patch. We can just hope that there are some fixes concerning the BS on way along with the rest stuff.

 

Thats what I expect when I wrote the OP. THX ED!

isoul any patch will require testing, during that testing there will be the opportunity to fix major problems. It would be helpful if there was a concise list of outstanding issues for the testers to verify and pass on to the Devs. There may already be a concise list, I'm not that familiar with BS these days, if you could point me to it that'd be great.

I'd like to throw in my 2 cents here.

 

@isoul: You have to take in to consideration the type of software you're using and the company that made it. For example, if I were to buy Black-Ops and there was some major bugs that weren't fixed for months, I would be complaining right and left that these things are not being addressed in a timely matter. I would be complaining because I KNOW they have the revenue and resources to do it, and the only reason they aren't doing it is to move on to their next title to make anther few million. In ED's case, they have a very small costumer base, as with ALL hard-core flight sims. It's not a matter of them ingnoring all the Black-Shark costomers out there, it's a matter of them having limited resources/revenue to have a devoted team working on JUST black-shark or JUST A-10C.

 

I think of it like this, without ED, I would be forced to play these mediocre (at best) simulations. I mean, look all the other simulation software out there that you have to mod and patch 100 times just to get to work and it still doesn't even hold a candle to DCS series.

 

I for one am extremely happy to buy and play ED's games. I have FC2, Black-Shark, and A-10C, and you can be sure I'll be buying their next fighter sim. For $50 I've had a lot more use out of a game than I've had with ANY other title (Besides WoW but I paid monthly for that.) So a very playable sim with a few bugs still? Big deal.

 

-End rant.

Nate,

 

There have been many threads (including one i have started) that define a lot of bugs. Problem is that they can never be a concise list as people inevitably post wish lists instead of bugs.

 

Here is a link to mine

Yeah I see what you mean BHB, It just makes it harder for us to filter what should be fixed and what should be left behind.

What? many bugs have already been talked about, many times. Surelly ED has some internal tool to keep track of those. And probably there is a hidden forum where testers team have threads for each of them.

This is not for ED it is for me. I've lost touch with Black shark and want to understand the issues, sort the wheat from the chaff.

 

Nate

[Distiler]

I understand, I've also lost track of them and only see those that affect me (just graphical glitches, and some ai weirdness going on). But I guess you're better asking ED directly for that list.

[winz]

The main issue in wingman AI is that he sometimes refuses to attack target. You lock-up a target via skhval, order two to attack your target and the only response you get is 'negative'.

Several weird things accompany this bug.

When you have more wingmen, then not all refuse to attack. I.e. two will respond 'negative', but three (without touching anything else then the com menu), will acknowledge and proceed to attack the target.

Another weird thing is, that this behaviour is not reproduced in tracks. In those the wingman, who previously 'negative' during the play, will attack the target.

[Vecko]

Please ED, if you guys planing to add only few puffy clouds from A-10C and online compatibility then save your time and dont do anything. DCS Ka-50 is your first born child and probably BEST hely sim ever and must not be forgotten.

 

There is few major bugs that are present since 1.0 version .For example :

Very strange autorotation

 

Super accurate INU /no INU drift no mather what/ -good thread about this and more http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=53699&highlight=inu&page=2

 

Nate, if you need our help , just say so. Someone could start new thread for Ka-50 major bugs with short problem explanation and maybe with some link to older threads .I gues that could help you in your work.:)

[bogusheadbox]

@ Nate,

 

I have trawled through the 7 pages of my post and listed confirmed bugs (wishlists and rants removed). Sent to you by PM.

 

Hope that helps.

[Sharkster64]

The main bug I would like to see fixed is the use of NVG when using a multi monitor setup. The NVG resolution is all screwed up with multi monitor, making it unusable. Many people use multi monitors, so it would be nice to see this fixed. Another issue is the GUI for multi monitor. The resolution is all screwed up for that as well. Most of the buttons are off the screen, forcing people to have to modify the .lua files to move the buttons back on to the screen. Also in game messages appear stretched over multiple screens.

 

If all this is fixed, and only if this is fixed, I will buy A-10c to support the devs.

[Xxx]

Correct me if I am wrong, but is the NVG aspect a problem only with a two monitor set up. ie, when the ABRIS and Shkval are on a separate monitor? The triple "surround" of Eyefinity is ok, is it not?

 

A pre configured GUI and sim settings for multi monitor would be welcome though. Its put me off setting up such a system for BS. However this sim is so good I am tempted to do it and mess with the lua's until its spot on!

 

The two "bugs" I can identify are:-

 

1. The wind direction in the mission planner is reversed. eg mission planner says 270 at 8, when in cockpit the wind is 090 at 8 ( also displayed on the INU as 090 at 8 )

 

2. The AI "Traffic" will drive over bridges that have just been blown up! Like they do not "see" that the bridge is no longer there. They also drive "through" stationary vehicles.

 

I intend to buy the A10c disk no matter what. The patch process will address any new issues!

 

Regards.

resource-intensive Warthog engine can still be problematic for folks like me using older computers. A good case in point is my aging Dell Optiplex, which nevertheless exceeds the original minimum requirements for BS

 

You understand that your computer is old, so you gonna need to upgrade it one day, and that day, you'll probably ask ED to upgrade that sim engine with their most current!!

 

Sorry, but I'm waiting so much for an engine upgrade in BS to play with it again.

 

If your computer don't meet the minimum spec start thinking to upgrade it.

 

But please don't ask ED not to upgrade their sim.

[LukeSky]

I can run BS on medium settings with a beautiful framerate.

I run Warthog on lowest settings and it's unflyable. Point being, if you don't have a top of the line computer, you're screwed. I won't be downloading the patch.

when people are saying medium setting or low setting they seem to forgot that the screen resolution has a big impact on the fps. lower it at 1024x768 and your frame rate will get a big boost. Before telling that your computer isn't able to play a game or sim, always try to buy a good video card.

[LukeSky]

As a new pilot in the KA 50, v 1.02 ( ie never having flown the earlier versions ), I am curious to know whats wrong with the AI wingmen in v1.02 versus v1.01?

 

Am I not using my wingmen correctly? The only thing I have seen is the occasional refusal to do a recon to a data link point. Apart from that, he seems ok, at "excellent" skill level.

 

Just curious as to what needs fixing?

As an exemple, I was asking my wing man to RTB and he flew away ?? I don't know where, but he was going away of the only planned base.

 

Dumb wingmans. They never listen :)

[LukeSky]

Then they went to work on FSX for a couple of years, which you had to pay almost twice as much as BS.

 

I dissagree, it cost me 32$ CAN for FSX deluxe edition.

 

But I agree that we must wait until the A-10 engine is completly/or more patched before receiving an upgrade to BS.

 

Patching BS = moving the 3d model and programming of the KA-50 to

the A-10C 3D engine.

 

I don't like to patch and repatch and repatch a game. I prefer one big patch from time to times.

[msalama]

But please don't ask ED not to upgrade their sim.

 

Was that what I did? I thought I just pointed out that folks who can't (or won't) upgrade their computers MAY have a problem later when BS gets patched.

 

As for me, yah, I'll probably install a 64-bit OS first and see if that makes a difference when the time comes...

64bit offers nothing in the way of a performance boost, but will be almost necessary if you want to run the newer DCS engine with all the bells and whistles, due to memory issues with 32bit.

[msalama]

64bit offers nothing in the way of a performance boost

 

Not directly, true, but there're 2 things still:

 

1) More accessable memory -> more cache space for textures, etc. -> less stutters

2) A better DirectX infrastructure giving tangible boosts in some cases / with some games

 

But of course I'll have to upgrade the ol' pooter regardless sooner or later, true that...
