Brilliant.

Dowly · 08-14-11, 05:44 PM

Nice!

Schroeder · 08-15-11, 11:14 AM

Well, guess I'm out then. I don't have the time or patients at the moment to learn a highly complex new sim.

Raptor1 · 08-15-11, 11:22 AM

Traitor!

Only A-10C is really that complex. The Black Shark is surprisingly simple to use after you stop crashing into the ground and breaking your rotors, and you even have the cheat to start it up automatically...

Oberon flew with it in less then a day

The first thing you'll have to learn is the start up sequence, Lionclaw made a nice cheat sheet which I've been using for quite a bit:

Trimming the Kamov is a bit tricky but eventually you'll get it.

Aye, BS is easy to learn and now's a good time to get it as it's on sale.

Schroeder · 08-15-11, 02:19 PM

Does BS come with any nasty stuff like starforce, always online etc?

AFAIK, Black Shark uses Starforce ProActive, but this is what their FAQ says about it:

Also note that both the download and boxed DVD versions use StarForce ProActive which doesn***8217;t install drivers or other system modules

Copy protection FAQ: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?...04&postcount=3

The Steam version uses Steam as copy protection I THINK.

Raptor1 · 08-15-11, 02:43 PM

It has some Starforce online activation thingy, but it doesn't install drivers like the old Starforce did. The only problem with it is limited activations and deactivations, but it has so many that you'll probably never run out, and if you do they refill them (A-10C's even refills them automatically after you run out).

EDIT: Damnit, Dowly!

Not a bad system, though I'm definetly no fan of limited activations. This is the only game I've made an exception for.

Recently uninstalled BS and reinstalled. Didn't even ask me to reactivate, so you'll really only use new activations with major hardware changes.

Yes, noticed this when I reinstalled A-10 last week or so.

Well it seems unless you do a complete sweep of the registry for the DCS files, it saves them so the CP just acts like nothing has happened. Yeah I don't think I've dropped below 7 activations on A-10, and I've reinstalled it several times on both my old, and my current computer.

Now the Steam version still installs the SF ProActive. They can't actually use the steam Copy Protection, as Steam still doesn't have 64 bit binaries.. I remember Nate-IRL- saying so in the A-10C thread, but I could be mistaken. I know Wags has mentioned it on the ED forums.

After i get my PC sorted out, and Everything working, ill be back flying.
