Black Shark Eng Download released...

**Magnum50** · 12-10-2008, 05:19 PM

I've been playing the Russian version for a month now, greatest combat helicopter simulation since Longbow 2... SimHQ has a 3 part review of it if intrested... http://www.simhq.com/

Anyway the English downloadable version has been released, they are trying to get a STEAM download version. Be advised that it uses the much hated Starforce, but no problems reported by anyone on hardware failures, it's a newer version of Starforce. Also be advised that it has a easy mode, but in simulation mode this is HARD, a true simulation, not a action game.

I just bought it (Starforce be damned), and I'm really excited.

If I like it as much as I think I will, I'll buy it again for Steam. Keeping track of activations is a pain.

Glad to see a TG member getting it... I was wondering why no one had commented yet... you mean to tell me no one from "Tactical Gamer" is interested in simulations.

This is tempting me. It looks so deep.

Great sim, I can tell this by the fact that I've owned it for a week, and I'm still getting basic flight smooth, as opposed to owning wave after wave of tanks. I have great hopes for the DCS concept. Really solid in execution and looks and plays amazing.

Wow, that looks amazing. My brother will love this

**Scattershot** · 01-08-2009, 10:34 PM

I bought this a couple days ago. This is really something.

I'd go for it except my poor PC normally has it's tongue hanging out over IL2... Black Shark would probably flat line it.

I am also here Magnum

Thanks for the info, I like flight sims and specialy helicopters.

If it goes on Steam, I will buy it.

Is there a multiplayer coop and/or pvp mode? Specifically, is the campaign persistent coop capable?

I just picked this game up last night. Haven't had any problems with Starforce. I just tried an instant action before I went to bed, and it's a little tough. I'm definitely going to have to put some time in training. Really, really cool though.

Magnum's other thread detailing Black Shark is old, so the pics and video don't exist anymore.

Here's some Black Shark gameplay: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRaNnpIdYWY[/media]

I'm still going through the training courses. I liked this little gem at the end of course 2:

"In conclusion, you should be able to find all of these switches and dials blindfolded."

Yeah right.
