Cosmonaut Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Hi All, Just wondering if ED have stated whether or not "Lockon: Black Shark" will be compatible with "Lockon: Flaming Cliffs: Black Shark" for online game play and S/P missions/ campaigns? Its a little misleading on the "BS" section of the website seeing as it states The "Lock On: Black Shark" add-on will include all the content of "Lock On: Flaming Cliffs Ok I took that to mean even the Su25T as well but after asking a question on these forums a few days ago it seems as though the Su25T will not be part of the content carried over from FC. Now this would create two different versions of lockon; "Lockon FC BS" and "Lockon BS" if this is the case then could these two versions be compatible with each other online? I assume like almost every other game/sim that different versions will not be compatible or maybe ED have found away to make these two versions co-exist online together. Thanks for any info. Cozmo.

Yellonet Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Heh... I knew I was right about the non-inclusion of Su-25T. It should be doable to make the different versions compatible online, it would just mean that no one can use the T frog, but they might just go with the easy (and less time consuming) way of just making the versions online incompatible. So, we will have LockOn Complete BS and Lockon Pure BS versions :p Edit: Ok... I wasn't right... it that's really official GG ;) i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5
GGTharos Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Black Shark will include everyting that was in FC. Yes, including the Su-25T. [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
Gazehound Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Im really glad :D Was worried it would turn into IL2+PF+FB+AEP+OMG+WTF You'd have LO1.02, LO1.11, LO1.11&1.2, LO1.2. VVS504 Red Hammers
Cosmonaut Posted December 5, 2005 Author Posted December 5, 2005 Black Shark will include everyting that was in FC. Yes, including the Su-25T. Aaaahh Great news!! So our FC CD's will become coasters after all lol Cozmo. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Minimum effort, maximum satisfaction. CDDS Tutorial Version 3. | Main Screen Mods.
GGTharos Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion it wouldn't ... 1.2 builds on 1.1 ;) [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
britgliderpilot Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion it wouldn't ... 1.2 builds on 1.1 ;) The same way the F16 sim became known as Destroyer, I think. All it takes is two people at the same time to say the same thing ;) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
VapoR Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Ok, so say I want to get a new person into Lock-on, they will only have to buy Lock-on and then Black Shark?? Now also, will the cd version of BS be available at the same time as the download version? Cause it would suck to wait a month or two extra to get a copy while people who buy the download version are having a blast in HL!! Man it still cracks me up that the abbreviation for 1.2 is BS!! :D

Their service seems to be the better way at the moment - might also be worth asking them to ask ED about including Black Shark with a Lomac install disk for convenience. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
Cosmonaut Posted December 5, 2005 Author Posted December 5, 2005 I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion it wouldn't ... 1.2 builds on 1.1 ;) It's a long story lol but sufficed to say that in the beginning I didn't..however after asking this question http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=12169 it lead me to believe that "BS" would not contain the Su25T. However after a post in UBI forum I wanted to get more concrete information so I started this thread which reaffirmed what I originally thought. Cozmo.

bSr.LCsta Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 I am still confused :? Will the BS disc install all of the current flyables + the KA-50? is this ok?
GGTharos Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Yes. [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
The Gigler Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 BS Install Black Shark will include everyting that was in FC. Yes, including the Su-25T. Will the new BS sim be a standalone sim or will we have to deal with Starforce and work arounds like with Flaming Cliffs?

How about an un-install and install disk so that we dont get locked out of our god given purchased software sims?:rolleyes:
