ComradeLucifer Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Hey guys, I'm thinking of buying black shark 2 (have the steam version of bs 1 but ironically only ever played A-10, and god does that kick ass!) and I was wondering how my rig would be able to run this. The only thing I'm worried about is my relatively weak graphics card- a nvidia 540m. It can run A-10 very well and extremely smooth. Is this more demanding? I also have an i72620qm processor and 8 gb of ram, win 7 64 bit home edition. Basically, if I can run A-10 can I run this? Or is this too demanding on my hardware? Note: Running through an HDMI cable to a monitor. Not sure if that matters, but you never know. Oh, I also use TIR 5. Thanks for the advice/responses!
GGTharos Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 If it runs the A-10 well, it should run black shark about the same. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
ComradeLucifer Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 damn, sorry I didn't clarify in the topic title- I'm talking about Black Shark 2. Sorry if that caused confusion.
GGTharos Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Yep, BS2 should run fine if you're running the latest patch of A-10C fine. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
ComradeLucifer Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 great! Does there happen to be a good quality T.A.R.G.E.T. profile for BS2 you guys could point me to? I'm wondering if that's a possibility before buying (T.A.R.G.E.T.) is so much easier than manually progamming and saving a .lua, y'know? Thanks again for the info GGTharos.
ComradeLucifer Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 sorry, one more quesiton- do I need to uninstall my steam version of BS 1 or anything like that before purchasing and installing BS2?
GGTharos Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Unfortunately I don't know, but do a search on the forum and the file exchange. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
ComradeLucifer Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 Hmmm can't seem to find ANY T.A.R.G.E.T. profiles for BS2 unfortunately. Anybody have any working profiles for the WARTHOG and BS2?
EtherealN Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Depends on version, really. If you purchase the "upgrade" version of BS2, which is cheaper, the installer will need to see your Steam install in order to work (you may need to run the BS1 once as well). So in that case, uninstalling BS1 first would probably cause BS2 to not install at all. However, if you purchase the full-price version of BS2, you can do whatever you like with your BS1.
