JG14_Smil Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Ok, We have gotten past Step One in our list to get BS improved. Let's try Step Two: Pick a BS2 bug, any bug, and fix it. Silence is not Golden here, give us something we can use. While this may seem like a small issue that is easy to gloss over, the fate of my spending money on your sim ever again is riding on this. Wanting only to improve your product, thank you.
Griffin Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I find this important too. ED does fix and evolve the World but if they don't have the resources to completely finish their first product, I think they should reconsider their priorities. Don't bite more you can swallow. Same applies to every developer. They should be able to finish their products and give continued support for them. If the older products are left broken they risk losing their customers to 3rd party developers because of the distrust from us, the customers. While BS2 might not be the biggest money maker for you anymore, the product quality is directly proportional to your future sells.
RedRain Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I wish the developers were as proactive as the moderators on this forum, my last post was closed at the blink of an eyelid, thanks moderator, my question was, will the KA-50 recieve some love in the upcoming 1.2.4 patch ? I am loosing much hope, and will not be purchasing any more modules untill i see progresssive improvements associated.

Hi, I am not picking on your post, but very curious, what else needs improving,, it is pretty amazing to me.... but of course there are always some little things that either we don't think about, don't know about, or could be better,, I just don't know of any... and if there are they are insignificant. Is there a list of things needing fixed, added, etc? (Oh yeah, there is a bug list fort all aircraft, but no show stoppers..). IMHO ASUS Strix Z790-H, i9-13900, WartHog HOTAS and MFG Crosswind G.Skill 64 GB Ram, 2TB SSD EVGA Nvidia RTX 2080-TI (trying to hang on for a bit longer) 55" Sony OLED TV, Oculus VR
Griffin Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Here's a list: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=94741 The AI particularly along with the datalink makes single player pretty useless (I assume, haven't flown for a long time).
Erforce Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 BTW Datalink in SP is more than important. Today, Step two has a partial answer in the bug thread. Very appreciable! Hope it's only the start of Black Shark era again ;) TASK / ROLES acronyms guide Black Shark A.I. datalink guide illustrated (v1.2.4 Available on Wiki) DCS World Codex 1.1 : full units list (Speed/Weapons/Armor thickness/Threat zone/Weapon damage...)

Griffin Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I hope there wasn't a misunderstanding. I meant that if the datalink doesn't work, single player is "useless" because you can't command the AI. The AI in itself is bloody useless too for anything else than a decoy.
JG14_Smil Posted May 5, 2013 Author Posted May 5, 2013 I still have hope for step three, it is where I buy every module made in shear gratitude for some overdue lovin' for BS. I am glad I'm not alone with this. I am almost ready to go back to Blackshark 2 and say heck with DCS Bug World.
Griffin Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Maybe we just shouldn't buy modules we think we'll be flying for more than a couple of years? Two years and hope an interesting module is released or change your main sim for the next couple of years. That seems to be the realistic lifespan, after that new modules are a priority and old products can be forgotten and decay?
Davis0079 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Blackshark in DCS World will be fine if they fix "non clipping trees" and "building not breaking AI line of sight"...... all the other whinny shit you guys are complaining about should without a doubt be fix only after the two things I just mentioned.... Having said that....the hope is, when the new terrain engine "Edge" comes out that you will finally collide into trees and be able to hide behind buildings.... at this point.....nothing else should matter.....any helicopter game that fails to have these two things will always be consider incomplete....for the reason that the most basic helicopter tactics revolve around "terrain and building masking" and "not running into shit, like trees and powerlines"....... its so not realalistic without these two things, that I have no idea how you ppl can complain about secondary things....its just such a waste of energy... Edited May 5, 2013 by Davis0079 It only takes two things to fly, Airspeed and Money.
Griffin Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 The things that we are talking about are something that can be fixed and what you are talking about are what can't be fixed, yet. So we are not wasting our energy beating a dead horse. We are complaining about things that keep disappearing and getting broken patch by patch. ED has done great job introducing new stuff too but I feel sorry for chaps building fancy home cockpits for a sim that keeps decaying. Highly anticipating the EDGE (not Nevada though). That will fix the true things that matter as you said. But till then we can only complain about what we can to keep ourselves occupied :D (and hopefully ED too).
Erforce Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Griffin's right. Trees is a problem ED can't resolve actually. I'm not sure EDGE will take care of this too. (EDGE is an Apple's secret so wait and pray.) Building sight line, i don't know for you, but i used it whenever possible. saved my life in "on the other side" and some other missions. i'm safe behind a building. For boycotting other ED products, imho, it's useless and not fair even if true BS community is a minority now. the real thing, 1.2.4 bug thread has more views and more answers than my BS topic, not counting ED team involvement. and it was created 5 days before. I'm not whining or crying about that. Sure we don't need those lights and switch to work like a real shark. In fact, BS is pretty awesome today, only a couple of bugs cripple this game. Look at my bug thread, come on, we can't say BS is unplayable atm. (but AI and shkval crazyness is some situation). I don't really use CALC, ILS, low RPM light, and i never repair my shark (i don't like to cheat, or i would use invul mode instead) You can bet ED has other priorities right now. I will still buy EDGE and the next modern fixed wing if it's not an arcade mod like FC3. (F16+, even a MIG) My worst fear is this game being clearly outdated the day a big company put a feet in sims. Fortunately (or not) Microprose passed by, and shown to everybody Military Simulation is not meant to (or bought by) everyone. :-D TASK / ROLES acronyms guide Black Shark A.I. datalink guide illustrated (v1.2.4 Available on Wiki) DCS World Codex 1.1 : full units list (Speed/Weapons/Armor thickness/Threat zone/Weapon damage...)
