DCS: Fun with Trains

[r4id1337shitname]

.... have the awesome background song uploaded :)

[GlowingAmraam]

@r4id1337shitname

Thanks. :)

[corsair16]

Three years ago, I watched this video and was utterly awed by the Ka-50's graceful maneuvering. Now, having been a proud owner of DCS: Black Shark for nearly three years and having just purchased Black Shark 2, I watch this video once more with the same reactions as before. The way the Ka-50 floats in the air, maneuvering, dancing...absolutely beautiful.

Fantastic work, Eagle Dynamics!

[XxBillyGoatNinjaxX]

I wouldve just blown up the train....

[Annofreak69]

In Soviet Russia...

[Excrubulent]

@Annofreak69 Train land on you?

[mbaquara]

LOL!

[lmos26]

SUPERB FLYING! 

[Braeden123698745]

Are you just good at stabilizing the heli or is it very stable because if you did those manuvers in fsx the heli would squirm like crazy

[Flopper01Gaming]

@Braeden123698745 that is because FSX is one of the most unrealistic flight simulators in the history of flight simulators.

[PASKI502]

GO PLAY ARMA 2 PLZ WTF IS TAT GAME

[SavaTTAGGG]

Why didn't you shoot ???!!!! XD

[Bloodyvains71]

Ahh the good old simulation/stratagy ganre. Lot more fun than the same old boring first person shooter.

[SavaTTAGGG]

@Bloodyvains71 They are completely different. You can't compare these genres.

[Nerwik]

how you recorded that ?

cool flying btw.

[REVERT3DEngine]

Cool! :D

[sitofak]

[crim3cost]

@martindahl123 update it, the loading times are a lot better now

[l85a1rt4]

cooooooooool :D !! , how u makin train ? and .... when i touching the train, train just stopping and i can land on it why ?

[Wargeneralguy]

Mind if i ask what the game/sim is? :D

[kllr101]

@Wargeneralguy Its DCS: Black Shark.

[JahPahZzZ]

name of the song? nice vid btw :)

[MJCG1088]

You my friend, are cool 8-)

[FysikFyren]

and I can hardly land safely on a concrete airport ;-)

[NoFL88]

Your skills are awesome!

[THEKINGOFEUR0PE]

whats the song? :)

[MRrailaway]

lol



[ab123110]

Awww, it's so cute! ^ ^

[dallatorretdu]

[eaglebazdmeg]

this game is like ACE combat on helo's :D

[Martin14061980]

good landing

[4ebbo]

Bravo, Comrade.

[2010theganster]

waw!

[trenckgz]

awesome

[Vikinatorn]

Lol, that was awesome!

[federalfsx]

where the hell did you learn to fly like that? oo awesome..

[gen0zid]

eoutstanding airmanship thumps up!

[VF101DutchDuck]

kinda James Bond, now innit :)

[indendunklenschatten]

Niiice :D

[TheJockstrap99]

wow awesome flying..i cant even land on a fucking runway lol great skills mate

[ThaFunkster100]

Very nice, great piloting skills.

Entertaining all round.

[ClockworkPolitics]

jesus what a fuckin song haha. Its really basic up until the section at like 1:09 when that strange chord/note choice comes in. I love it :S

But yeah, the landing was AWESOME :D

[slpstang08]

Haha, I shot the train, It came to a complete stop. Then i proceeded to destory the train cars

[BossSquadIL2]

graw, you kinda have to learn, i just bought the game 2 weeks ago and you kinda set up controls as you go, i looked everywhere and couldn't find a good set up system

[Scorch1321]

that was some fancy flight:D

[salleens7]

how do you make trains in the editor? I cant find them anywhere

[ClockworkPolitics]

You dont, their civ traffic in the system options.

[salleens7]

thanks man! time to give this a try

[aquaph0nic]

Gotta get this sim, looks like fun! Does anyone know if it runs in DirectX 9 or is it still DX7 like LOMAC?

[federalfsx]

This is DX9.

[ClockworkPolitics]

DX9 works.

[STRYKER1467]

i wish i can the full startup i can only autostart ^^

[Matija10]

i'm like: "damn dude how do you do that? i dont even know how to take off lol"

[MrYoyi96]

Neat

[seals9121]

AWESOME !

[kolesztar]

bro that was mad...

landing on the train ftw...

5* bro, keep it up!

[graw777]

that was AWESOME!!!... Great job!!! Dude i was like "I want to do that too"... but now im having trouble just trying to take off. ive just bought it. Its gonna take some weeks... do you know where i could find one good map of the controls????...

[bd251]

@graw777 look on the dcs forums for a flash "cockpit trainer"

[jeka300]

WOW! Music is good! Where i can get this music???

[EyeOfTheNorth11]

nice

[airmech1985]

wow!!!

[dataguttene]

dude! thats some real nice piloting u got there!

[Torsade101]

Great flying. Thanks.

[henryhandicap]

holy crap. hackery.

[7h3k1ng]

Nice flying and tell your friend that the music is totally awesome.

[sonicboyPT]

I have a hard time landing on the f*** base... :D

[SpFiota]

TAHT BECUZ U A NUB

[DroehnIng]

THIS is some awesome landing! Just look how narrow the spot is. AWESOME flying Amraam!

[StyIlez]

this game is so hard :(

[deviletk]

Its not a game. Its a simulator. Thats why it is "hard". You need practise - like real life.

[AFractionOfAction]

I so want to be able to do this. Thanx for the vid.

[syntaur]

Nice flying... just watch out for tunnels:)

[GlowingAmraam]

As mentioned earlier, the music was created by a friend of mine. Sadly, he doens't have the song at all anymore, neither do i. And i'ts nowhere on the net either.. sorry.

[Gargantou]

Wow, you actually landed on the moving train? Haha, that's awesome, I didn't even know you could actually do that!

[GlowingAmraam]

You should check out "Fun with trains 2" then ;)

[lucasguillen]

man your awesome subscribed

[Mekwag]

Ka - 50 black shark

[OnlyGokhan]

what game is this?

[GreyKnightUK]

Ha-ha! Very good indeed, great flying there. Might have to try this myself.

[stef1997s]

Nice landing!

[InzaneNOR]

Nice.. 5 stars

[Blomman993]

how do you make it fly? i can't get it upp in the air

[triadwarfare]

Nice one, I thought the graphics of DCS is as bad as Flaming Cliffs but still resource-hungry. Were you using a flightstick? Using the keyboard for flying at the Lock On is pretty bad for flying cause there is no way to reset the digital flight stick. Is DCS worth buying anyway. I mean there is only one flyable vehicle and there's the evil Starforce. I will consider buying if they add more flyable/drivable vehicles and if they come to their senses that DRM does more harm than good.

[GlowingAmraam]

Hehe... This video is from 2006! :)

Black shark looks MUCH better today than in this video.

Plus it's not "just" one flyable. It's the most realisitc helicopter simulator on the market! Plus AI is also better, brand new mission editor as well.

And the A-10C is next up! Which you will see a movie from me in a few months time.. Just buy it, you won't regret it ;)

And yes, joystick is a MUST.

[triadwarfare]

Thanks for the information, I'd really hope they could make this game without the Starforce protection. I have bought a Starforce protected game before but I regret buying that game cause it damaged my files because of occasional reboot. I'd hope they consider replacing Starforce DRM for a better driverless DRM or removing the DRM entirely.

Do you have to have to buy a throttlestick and rudder pedals and a specialized helicopter operating keyboard along with the joystick? What do you have anyway

[CommonChild]

Throttle and stick is definitely the way to go. Saitek X52 is probably the biggest bang for your buck. It's a nice quality joystick with plenty of buttons. If you set it up right you should rarely have to touch your keyboard or mouse while flying. Of course if you really want to blow some cash there's always CH Products(good quality) and ThrustMaster Cougar(just plain cool). I just got some rudder pedals for the first time, and I think they're worth it but completely optional.

[triadwarfare]

Thanks, saving up my money to buy one

[alistairmartins]

I love Flaming Cliffs but did community choose for A10 and im just a noob but why..yes Why Couldnt we have Lock on Fc with Black Shark Terrain and People who have lock on fly with people who have Black shark did they think about this just curious.

[TKMR010]

Yes. The things that they wanted to do with the DCS line they couldn't do with the limitations in the Lock On engine.

[commandosolo2009]

@GlowingAmraam and dont forget, the AH-64D ;D

[MasterZelgadis]

@triadwarfare Sorry, no offense, but I can't stand people talking about stuff, they didn't inform on..

Starforce is a big Copy Protection System. The evil part criticised was the module, that installed a driver without the user knowing it. DCS doesn't use this module.

Also the Online Activation, yes, you have to activate it online, yes you have limited activations. But hell, you don't have to activate again between two installs on the same PC, and you get Activations back, when you uninstall.

[rogerdodgeraviation]

Wow.....5 stars.

[snakebyte14]

is there any way to enable mouse look in cockpit?like in lock on?

[xdragon5]

Yeah. You can either buy TrackIR for headtracking, you can build your own headtracking setup with Freetrack, or you can use the game's standard mouselook where the camera follows your mouse, with some degree of freedom, meaning there is an invisible box where you can move the mouse around in without the camera moving. When you move out of that box, the camera follows your mouse.

[cs512tr]

awesome vids and flying dude!

can i ask, what flight peripherals were you using?

i am guessing you had a track-ir?

thanks!

[GlowingAmraam]

When i made this video, i didn't have a TrackIR. :)

[gerry7man555]

@GlowingAmraam minimum specs for this game?

[Squater1986]

WOW! It's cool, especially landing on train platform.

[qinsyte]

What is the title song??

pleas

sey my

[DipsoBBerS]

WOW! :-D I like that.

[returningwhisper]

Amazing video. Great song too, I had to go find it on Google.

[corsair16]

Yeah, it sure is. You wouldn't happen to have found the version that plays in the video, would you? The only version I can find is an updated one called "Lost Treasure."

[returningwhisper]

No, I could only find 'Lost Treasure'

Still great though.

[corsair16]

Huh, that's too bad. Ah well, Lost Treasure is still really nice. I tend to think of it as the theme song for Black Shark since this is one of the first videos I saw that sparked my interest. =)

[Anarhist001]

WOW 5/5!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Njischh]

Pro !

5/5

[Cosmo8888]

^^ nice

[TheUndert0ker]

Tried landing helos on cars and trucks in GTA4 and you can't do it sadly. I want to play this for the general asshatery you could achieve.

[Serondal]

That fact that this game even allows you to do this at all is amazing in and of itself. The fact that you were able to do it is another thing all together. I can hardly land a jet on a giant airport runway in FlightsimX :P Well done!

[SheebMaster]

Keep on practising, soon you'll be landing a jet on a moving train lolz :D

[Spetznaz]

that was ausum dud!!

[hannibalflo]

just great ! :D

[WebVideoDesigner]

I was just waiting for a tunnel to appear as he was trying to land...

[magicstorm1]

is tehre like enemy infantry u cna engaged in this game?

i like the on in COD4 where Ac-130 kill em wiht 30mm with the infrared imaging.

[bigbangAT]

yes there is also inf

[warriorsoul28]

why didnt you fire a missile after landing to destry the lead train? that would have been funny

[brett31979]

I enjoy the DCS projects and am about to dive into this one.

But I hunger for the day when they release a product with an expanded selection of aircraft.

My dream would be to keep the sim factor of LOMAC and BS, but allow for the Western aircraft. While I love strapping into a Mig-29 or now the KA-50 on a lark, we need some F-22, F-15, F-16, F-111, F/A-18F, F-14, Longbow, Kiowa, V-22, Tornado.... etc etc... and that is just a short list of the more commonly known ones.

[brett31979]

A cross between the detail-pounding of LOMAC (I never DID re-configure my keyboard enough to make sense of the controls... even with a G15 keyboard.... but darn did that game play nice video replays! LOL) and the fun/selection and pure RETURN INTEREST of IL-2/1946 or Jane's USAF.

That being said: any chance of a World War One flight sim??? Hoping Oleg's crew does one up after the long-awaited Storm of War is released.

[Purple692009]

Check out Rise of Flight. It's gonna be good.

[GlowingAmraam]

DCS series aims to model 1 airframe at a time (or maybe ground vehicles for the future, but so far, only helicopters/jets). And they dont just model them and "guess" how it should be. They make it as real as it can possibly get on todays home computers. And you dont believe the USAF will give full details on the F-22 and the bunch do you? :) They are classified deluxe. But, Su-27, F-16, A-10, and so on....now that we get to see, and next up is the A-10C ... ;)

[gabb138]

Is the grphics better than in Lock on ??

[LoudS1l3nc3]

The worst thing of this game is that there is no way to tune other NDB that the preset ones. The vikhrs are the only weapon that can make any damage to armored vehicles. Rockets are very difficult to aim. and the S13 (you can carry only 20) are the only ones that can damage a lightly armored vehicle without a direct hit. Althought the 30mm cannon is quite powerful...

[eno88]

awesomeness.

[Jacquinot1982]

Its fuel economy?

[juanicop]

nice!! we have to play together some time

:)

[juanicop]

easy flight?? and invulnerability?? because im fly every day black shark, and ur chopper is very stable!!

[GlowingAmraam]

Well, i've flown it quite a bit since 2006.. ;)

[CheckMySix]

Hi G.A

Awesome ,excellent flying skills.

QUALITY.

5*****

Respect

Keith :)

[34532525]

well done:)

[pae39]

my rotor lower rotor blades crash with my upper rotor blades and the chopper crashes... any ideas why this happens?

[kiss4luna]

your aoa is too high or blades' pitch are too high, maybe

[pae39]

thx for the answer mate. About blades pitch, you control that with the stick right?. I have the sensation, that right side of the lower blade is always upper and i am not even moving the stick... thanks again.

[kiss4luna]

yeah, so they may hit each other. lol

looking forward to DCS: Apache

[LoudS1l3nc3]

fly fast and see what happens ;) dont forget to have your hand on CTRL and E keys!

[soundmachine6]

Damn thats nice, Im starting to love this game more and more! Can you land on buildings too ??

And btw nice filmish landing you get 5 pnts from me ;)

[GlowingAmraam]

Of course you can land on buildings ;)

[uchihataru]

awesome video..any ideas when the retail,hard copy version might be in stores? i really wanna play a combat sim but cant find a good one..

[CichlidAsh]

I belive that the retail copy will be around march although you can buy it digital download right now. This is the best helicopter flight sim you can get. It is ment to be very close to the real helicopter to fly so it will take a long time to fly well. You can get it digital download at their site right now though for $49.99.

[CichlidAsh]

Great flying then GlowingAmraam so this was a 2006 beta version? Its just seeing most the recent videos apearing now the games gold a lot of people seem to have a difficult time getting the KA-50 airborn let alone flying with the skills you demostrated, so well done really can not wait to get this.

[GlowingAmraam]

Thanks for the comments :)

And yes, this was with the 2006 beta.

[CichlidAsh]

Amazing video and flying not too sure what that actual train engine was though looked a bit strange or why it even needed two engines, nit picking though really as I am going to get this game. Also the shadows from the helicopter dont show on the train but maybe once the games grapical engine catches up with current graphics engines that might be fixed. Still ace flying if that really was simulation mode

[GlowingAmraam]

That was simulation mode, but this video was created in 2006. Improvements to the game engine will be made to future DCS modules.

[distiler]

Cool video.

And very cool music. Any way to get it?

[KillerZetzz]

What are you using for controls?

[Vailgunner]

that was ......awesome

[flyglobalairlines]

can you land on ground because it seems all the time i try i end up falling over for some reason

[ais422]

that was badass

[masteriansun]

cool video, can you destroy the train if you fire your weapons at it?

[GlowingAmraam]

Yes

[flyglobalairlines]

you are one class pilot

[NuclearMind]

Kudos, Kudos, Kudos to Eagle Dynamics. The engineer that I am is deeply delighted. I'm just wondering if you were able to land on the train because the programmers made a patch to the existing engine or if the engine supports this natively? That sim looks so hot!! :) I'm impressed!

[GlowingAmraam]

No patch whatsoever. Thats me using an early version of Black Shark, but this is still possible, if you have the skill. :)

[NuclearMind]

I don't know if any folks at Eagle Dynamics is going to read this but I've been waiting for *so long* to find a high fidelity chopper simulator. You guys seem to have taken flight sim for the mass a few notches higher than what has been produced to this day. It takes a lot of commitment (producer, publisher, programmers, 3d animators, 3d artists, so on) and very deep pockets to attain that kind of product and I admire this commitment because the market is so limited.

[NuclearMind]

It took us about a year and a half of flying before we obtained the highest medal available in the game, the Congressional Medal of Honors. And, for that mission, we flew as pilot and copilot. (I was firing the Hellfire and Sidewinder and 30 mm cannon rounds.) It is going to be a lot of fun to get into that same realistic environment once again. (Even if the display on the C64 is bad, the sim was exceptionally accurate) Eric, where are you? Time to meet again!

[NuclearMind]

Gonna have to find an old friend of mine... Eric Trepanier, aka GarbageMan... We flew together some 24 years ago in what was then the very finest flight simulator (Gunship, on the commodore 64) and believe me, I've tried most chopper sims that were produced after that day and I've never found one that was as close to reality than the C64 Gunship version. (Probably because of the joysticks for the PC... even when left in a neutral position, mine used to cause the chopper to turn)

[pkpgpkpg]

ok you could be a stunt pilot in that thing. haha a heli landin on a train in REAL LIFE would OWN haha. by the way you flying rules ive never seen anyone as good as you. :O

[KeepItSidewayz]

What song is this?

[KeepItSidewayz]

Sorry, Stupid question.. Just realised it was at the end.

[KeepItSidewayz]

Absolutely stunning!

[madcows10]

KA-50..The coolest gunship ever made!

[Crawlerz246]

yes it is. it's gettin' on in years tho

[cs512tr]

smooth!

[Corvusdotensis]

xD

Awesome! +5 I couldn´t believe that you did that. Wait... were you using Simulation or Arcade mode?

[GlowingAmraam]

Simulation mode :)

[VinnieM2000]

what is the name of the game?

[GlowingAmraam]

DCS: Black Shark.

I thought that was pretty obvious. :)

[sugarboy321]

Jeez, physics engines just get better and better

[mograf1]

The game is already OUT but in Russian as far as i know

[Vocod3r]

dissapointed, tought his gonna blow up that train

[Hairysteed]

Great! Now try that with electrified rails ;)

[sparrowlt]

I guess that i should buy that X45 joystick ... ^^

[hybridgraphite]

it would be worth spending the extra cash on the X52 pro's Imo. I have them theyre much better than the X45's i had.

If i had the cash i would have some thrustmaster cougars, look them up if you havent seen them before.

[sparrowlt]

The problem is that i dont like the rudder being in the joystick .. i mean i dont like "Twist joysticks" . the X-52 to activate the rudder you have to twist the main joystick, where in the X45 the rudder is located under the throtle. I know people who flies Falcon 4 and other high-realistic demanding flight-sims and they prefeer the X45. I actualy have now and had "twist-joysticks" and the problem is sometimes you activate the rudder simply turning the joystick in other axis , feels weird

[hybridgraphite]

Ahh I see, maybe get some rudder pedals to compensate for that if you did want to get the X52's.

Obviously if you're on a budget though go for the X45's if you prefer them for that reason.
