The ultimate chopper sim, it seems

And last but not least, performance will be on par if not worse than what is observed in Fs X.
Maybe under all this there is to be found a real gem, but I doubt it.
It will be Lock On phase 2.

Where did you get that from exactly??? source?

Maybe from people testing the BETA...Oh, wait. It's a BETA.

Its not 100% certain, thats why I said with 99% certainty. :p
Me too I'm waiting for this game, except that I'm as little bit less enthusiastic as far as performance goes.
Did you see the reviewers pc ?
Quad core 6700 and Nvidia 9800gx 2. And the performance in the video wasn't excatly ground shattering.

Is BS even designed for muti core cpus?

It would be a shame if it weren't.

And here I was expecting a Harley.

Multi cores have been more or less the norm for a while now and still nobody designs software for them.

for having been playing to Lock on for 5 years now i can say it's really a good sim i've seen that in Black shark there'll be soldiers running , i don't like much this kind of things personnally when i purchase this kind of game it's to shoot at targets i don't like when it becomes too realistic war isn't a game (brain on the walls isn't my cup of tea) but anyway i think it's gonna be a great sim

Not exactly, Falcon 4 Allied Force was compiled specifically for multicore cpu's.
If it was possibile for F4AF I see no reason (except laziness maybe) to not have a multi-core aware Black Shark simulation.

I didn't literally mean nobody, I know there are several of them. I knew of F4AF, Distant Guns is another that comes to mind. But the bigger design houses do seem to be kinda "lazy" in this regard.

It could just be that it is more difficult than we realize. Maybe their compilers aren't that great, maybe it's a total headache and brings all sorts of new compatibility issues up. Dunno.
