Do the owners of Black Shark 1 have to download the Patch product, or can we download the whole thing?

 

You can purchase patch or full, up to your preference.

Wow! Definitely upgrading my shark, although due to work and family life (6 year old son) I have very little time to enjoy A-10 or BS but this is well worth the $20 upgrade price:thumbup:

 

thanks ED keep up the good work! Sure wish these great sims were around before I got a family:music_whistling:

Purchasing the BS2 upgrade to BS, it will create a new install with a new exe and set of activations.

 

People with BS should always buy and download the update version. Keys from the BS2 update will not work with the full version. The update version is the same as full version but it checks if BS has been installed and it costs a lot less.

This was kept very quiet, or have I just not been looking in the right places? Compatible with DCS A10-C, that's a whole lotta fun!!

I'm just too busy to take it on just now (redundancy, sorting out my life!), but it is top of my ToDo list as soon as I've sorted out some priorities.
