I'm mulling picking up DCS Black Shark during the Steam sale (it's $5.00). Question is, if I do, will I be able to include it in World (not having BS2), or will it be stand alone only?

No, only BS2 is compatible with DCS World.

Standalone...but with BS1 installed you can upgrade to the latest BS2 for $19.99, download DCS World for free then you're in. The whole sheebang for $24.99. Not bad if you ask some:thumbup:

One thing to keep in mind with the upgrade for the foreseeable future at least, you will need to have BS1 installed to install BS2. After you have it installed, you can delete BS1 but anytime you need to install bs2, you will have to install bs1.

 

Apart from that, its a fantastic flight sim that I would highly recommend getting.

ED should really take BS1 off the market IMO. There's bound to be people who will buy it thinking they can integrate into DCS world, and even though that is their mistake, I don't think it is fair.

sorry please elaborate why you think bs1 is a fps ? thanks

 

He was not saying it is a "First Person Shooter". Rather you will get better "Frames Per Second" in BS1 because the graphics are much less intensive than BS2/World.

I think there are people like myself who keep BS1, or who will buy it, because the bugs are out of it and its been patched to the point where it just runs reliably; which is something BS2 is still a long way from achieving.
