Ramstein Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Just out of curiosity, how do you guys feel about the rudder rocker switch? on the Saitek as opposed to actual pedals...does it really make that much of a difference in the feel or control? since Aeroscout was on the subject anyway The rockers switch was very very inprecise. If you try to find a cheap way out you wil be very sorry and waste your money and time.

Flyby Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 A year ago I found the Thrustmaster Elite rudder pedals on Ebay. Took a chance, got the winning bid, and wound up with a very fine set of pedals to add to my Cougar hotas. To me it made flying IL2 a bit more immersive, so I guess I recommend rudder pedals if only to get your head more into the game. Most guys who use them will tell you itr makes you a better flier too. I'm not a good virtual pilot by any means, pedals help me be better than I was. I think having them will help me be one with the Black Shark. But don't quote me on that! ;) Flyby out PS yes, I'm used to changing out pots, and replacing switches. wish I could afford to mod my HOTAS. But I'm a Cougar fan all the way.

strannick Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 pedals hi guys.. im a commercial low hour heli pilot up here in canada, and for flight sim, pedals ramp up the realism big time. i have ch pedals and they are great. and while you are waiting for BS, theres the DODOSIM add on for flight sim 9 and 10, which again brings up the realism big time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strannick Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 editted in graphics in edge since we are seeing these BS movies as renditions of the game, why on earth would you edit in graphics that arent part of the game? for that matter why not edit in footage of the actual BS, since its not part of the game anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilBivol-1 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Some of the videos for Black Shark are strictly in-game and do not feature any added effects. From the videos available on the downloads section, these would include the "New Video by GLOWING AMRAAM" and the three short technology demos (rotor physics, gun ballistics and ricochet effects). Additionally, the Ka-50 videos available on the TBS website are also in-game. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer.

Guest mac343 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I would like to know if any updates for A2A missiles are included in the BS update, I'm not really a fan of heli sims and I'm trying to justify the purchase of BS. If there are no updates for any A2A missiles does anyone know if 1.12A will be compatible to play online with BS?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beside that i will get BS anyway, the care for the detail of the helo is really interesting, and seems also to be a nice platform for multiplayer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are no updates for any A2A missiles does anyone know if 1.12A will be compatible to play online with BS?. I wasn't a fan of chopper sims until they gave me BS. It's an extremely challenging experience, and really good fun ;) Given some of the changes that have been announced in Black Shark (for example, SFM for all AI aircraft), I think it's safe to assume that Black Shark won't be compatible with 1.12a in multiplayer. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would an add on be compatible with the previous version? Even much smaller patches are not backward compatible.

UWBuRn Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 BTW, i was referring to the missiles fixes et similia, not to compatibility between FC and BS. AFAIK the compatibility between the two version was never took in consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H4rM Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I agree 200% as lot and lot of people i know Greetings I too would like to hear the outcome of this. If there is any improvment to the network code and/or jets in either Lockon with BS add-on ( if it is an add-on) or as a stand-alone. I personally have had no spark of interest whatsoever in flying the KA-50 helicopter.

EvilBivol-1 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 As has been stated before, ED is currently focused on modeling the Ka-50 and everything associated with it to the highest possible standards. Time permitting, they hope to do another patch for FC, with attention to the issues raised by the community. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer.

Vekkinho Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I'll certainly buy BS once it becomes available, I'll try flying the helo although I'm more interested in jets but flying NOE in a helo might be a new experience. I hope that AI helo units will behave much better than they do in LOFC, placing hovering waypoints is something we can't have ATM but I hope it becomes possible with BS. Any news on MiG-29 and Su-27 3D models announced by ED a year ago?! Is that project dead or is it included with BS?! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMFA117_Poko Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 MiG-29 and Su-27 3D models are being prepared by ED themselves. We've seen early stage of modelling but I think we will see it finished on BS premiere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyby Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I too hope the AI Black Shark helos show a bit of improvement, if only to get away from that follow-the-leader-to-perfection FM that really detracts from the game, imho. It's not a big issue for me. It just looks a bit odd. I won't condemn BS if that little bit isn't corrected. I'm still anxious to get my little grubbies on it. ;) Flyby out The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witchking Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 man! I'd be happy if they also add good AI to ground vehicles. I was playing IL2: PF last time. I was doing a ground run and I swear...the vehicles were swerving IN PANIC. It would be nice if they see a attacking plane in their LOS and then DISPERSE to cover rather than stay there still in a freaking line like idiots. :p But, ED seems to know what they are doing....so we'll leave it to them. ;) WHISPR | Intel I7 5930K | Nvidia GTX980 4GB GDDR5 | 16GB DDR4 | Intel 730 series 512GB SSD | Thrustmaster WARTHOG | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR4 pro | |A-10C|BS2 |CA|P-51 MUSTANG|UH-1H HUEY|MI-8 MTV2 |FC3|F5E|M2000C|AJS-37|FW190|BF 109K|Mig21|A-10:SSC,EWC|L-39|NEVADA| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
