I know the TG majority ain't into sims, or tactical games for that matter anymore... but it does come with a action mode, lol... OK that was wrong...bad joke.... anyway...
I'm a big fan of combat helicopters, real life and simulations... the greatest ever still being Longbow 2... when Kramer let me in on the secret on how to buy the Russian version of Black Shark, I jumped at the chance... it's been too long with the failure of Enemy Engaged 2 to launch, and Whirlwind in Vietnam (or whatever it was) not even installing on my system... I've been wanting a working combat helicopter sim for a long time...
After purchasing and downloading, and installing without issue... (and a slight renaming of a folder to force English in some parts), I booted it up this AM...
(BTW, Black Shark is suppose to come out to Western markets in early 2009, wait for it unless your a diehard idiot like me, lol.)
