Not sure if anyone plays any combat sims around here, but Ive been playing this new sim BlackShark for a few weeks now and Im struggling to find any aussie players playing multiplayer.

So, if by some chance, someone here has been playing it and wants to do some co-op let me know!

do you know if your able to play that online if you download it, seems it doesnt seem to be a well known game.

i wouldnt mind giving it a shot. seems okay.

yer, well it is a study sim, so it takes quite a while to work out how to play the game. also, its hard to crack if you download, dont know of anyone who has got it working sucessfully.

theyre also adding to the game each 9-10mths by releasing a new aircraft, the next one due to be released is the A-10 Warthog. the eagle dynamics team gets contracted to make these sims for air force, then they take out a few of the classified features and release it to the public.

Will order it through EB

so is it a flight sim? or tank sim or infantry sim? or everything :S

cant quite work it out from the screens and im to lazy to read what the game is about lol

its a helicopter flight sim. flying the Russian Ka-50 single seated attack helicopter.
the game is a simulator, so you just do campaigns and blow shit up and what not. but its insanely hard to play and you need a decent joystick/throttle.

does this use the il2fb engine? looks like it, with the ground objects buffed up a bit.

only being able to fly 1 thing sucks

not sure what engine it uses.
however, they have already announced a list of aircraft they will be implementing in 9-10mth blocks. these include;

1- A-10A Suite 2
2- A-10C Suite 3
3- AH-64A Blk. 49A
4- Su-27
5- F-15C
6- Mi-24V
7- F-16C
8- MiG-29A

although, i think they have since announced they are only doing the A-10C as the next module to be added. as well as a 300mb patch which is due for release in may.
they get contracted to make these simulators for defence forces, so only release planes they are contracted to do.

i might give it a shot, used to play alot of sims years ago. will have to dig out my joystick

There are quite a few AEF members playing it, your quite welcome to jump in our public vent channels and have a fly with them.

Yeh, Ive been searching through your forums about it, do you have an ip for the vent server?
msn me if you could: kingy_68@hotmail.com

Kingy, this disgusts me.

dude, get on board.
