Black Shark 2 is out!

[Herr-Berbunch]

And it is just a patch!

I think ED products are greatly detailed - showing time and effort, and are quite fun when I'm not plummeting to earth, but aside from getting us to pay for a patch I wish they'd update their website (and TFC's site too - Black Shark (not 2) 'will be the flagship title of the new "DCS" series...') - Really? Three years later that is still the flagship?

And back to the patch -


***8226; Updated Mission Editor with many new features
***8226; New air, land, and sea AI units at incredible levels of detail
***8226; Improved AI for a smarter, more realistic behavior
***8226; Expanded map area to the east to include Tbilisi and location of the 2008 Georgian War
***8226; Dynamic weather with variable weather fronts, winds, and precipitation
***8226; Improved graphics effects like HDR
***8226; Improved low level terrain graphics like grass, bushes, tree shadows and high resolution textures provide a better sense of speed when hugging the Earth
***8226; New campaign based on a follow-on to the 2008 Georgian War
***8226; Network compatibility with "DCS: A-10C Warthog"
***8226; Dynamic shadows in cockpit
***8226; Improved 3D model of Ka-50 cockpit
***8226; Fast mission generator to easily and quickly generate missions
***8226; Takeoff and landings from pitching and rolling ships according to wind speed and direction
***8226; Radio messages from all other friendly flights helps makes the battlefield come to life
***8226; Improved FARP textures

Network compatibility with A-10C, so we do have to get this?

I'll stick with my Hog. Thanks, but not for me. Does this mean the next 'new' game (I'm still hoping for Harrier!) will be A-10C 2 VSTOL?

Disappointed, unless the items in the list above are better than they sound! I'll find out from Dowly.

Edit: PS - I'm still happy to pay for new maps, i.e. Nevada
