How to Play BS 1.0.2 Multiplayer to Flaming Cliffs?

[ErichVon]

Hi,

 

I have gone to BS 1.0.2 in Multiplayer. I have seen many servers and tried a couple. How do I know whether I am in Flaming Cliffs or Black Shark?

 

I am assuming if I am in Flaming Cliffs, there will be more options to fly various aircraft?

 

I am only setup with my controllers in Black Shark Single Player. I do fly around on the servers I have tried with multiple aircraft offerings on the servers I have tried: 51st.org and 104th Phoenix.

 

Thanks for any help.

Not sure if I understand your post.

You need FC2 to fly other aircraft. If you can see the server in BS, you should be able to join and should be able to fly as long as they have KA-50 in the mission. Same goes for FC2, as long as they have SU-25/25T/27/33, Mig-29/29C/29G, A-10 or F-15 you can fly.

That does not depend on the server, only on what you run. If you run Black Shark and the server list shows you servers then you can enter all those servers. If the server has client slots for Ka-50's then you can select one and fly there.

 

However, you can not select an Flaming Cliffs 2 client aircraft (F-15C, A-10A, Su-25, Su-27, Su-33, MiG-29A, MiG-29G, MiG-29S) from Black Shark. To fly these aircraft you will have to purchase and install Flaming Cliffs 2.

In those servers you can fly Black Shark. Based on your avatar I'm even guessing that this is you :)

Hi,

 

Initially came on-board with the purchase of LockOn Platinum edition in January 2011. So, I have LockON installed; separately Flaming Cliffs installed; almost immediately purchased DCS: A-10C Warthog, installed separately and played with it until July; then purchased separately DCS: Black Shark. All products are Windows-7, 64 bit.

 

I may be wrong, but thought the Black Shark in Flaming Cliffs was not the same intense Black Shark found in the DCS series.

 

And hence, my original question:

======================

How do I know which server I am on?

 

Thanks for any help and insight.

There is no Black Shark (Player-Flyable) in Flaming Cliffs.

The answer is: you don't need to know which server you are on. Just start whichever product YOU want to fly, that's all you need to know. Want to fly DCS:BS? Start DCS:BS. Want to fly one of the FC2 planes? Start FC2. It's that simple, and which of the two is being run by the server is irrelevant.
