  • i have thsi game when it first came out as I love flight sims.

    Always used to play IL2 sturmovik 1946 on full realism but woah!!! Black Shark takes realism to a whole new level I jsut had to give up in the end was too technical even for me.

    Might reinstall and try the dumbed down mode. I have the manual printed somewhere - liek about 350 pages long - eek!

  • @skimbo72 if you like flight sims and realism, have you tried aces high? free download and off line play, gotta pay to play on line but really good ww2 sim. one of my favorites anyway, just gotta have some patience for the long flights

  • 1 question: only helicopter avaible in this game?

  • @stilness285 Yes but if you buy an upgrade to Blackshark 2 through their official site(20 bukcs I think) you can merge the game with DCS A-10.

    These games are not just a sim. They are 'study' sims akin to Falcon 4.0 and its many incarnations. Only DCS series are even more precise and detailed. Feels great when you master the many systems. It takes patience and passion to get the hang of this game. But it can also be played in a much more tone down gameplay but part the fun is in mastering it.

  • guys can you give samples for serial numbers?? i need serial number for activation please

  • LOL imagine on startup, the pilots screen display starts booting up and then gets the blue screen of death

  • doesn't every other helicpter have diffrent switches and on diffrent places, how can you fly a diffrent compat helicopter without having read the entire manual?

  • do you need a joystick for this game

  • is it just me, or when he is setting up for take off, it sounds like he is beating the keyboard with a sledgehammer?

  • Exploding UH60 BlackHawk is another bug because in real life blackhawks NEVER EXPLODING WHEN CRASH, LAV25 APC's armor is badly modelled. 7:46 You are silly? You can't destroy HAS by gun, by VIKHRs too, this can be done only by S13 or bombs.

  • developed by russians right?

  • @RockRebel1998 The Kamov-50? Yes it was. Too bad it never got mass into production yet.

  • @tvercetti1 no no, im talking about the game.

  • @RockRebel1998 Sorry my bad. LOL Eagle Dynamics is based in Moscow Russia. Founded in 1991 according to the wikipedia page on it. Love their sims, too bad they didn't have a few more, since they're good at it.

  • the best helo simulator ever made...for the best helo ever made... that's sounds fair to me.

  • Can I have a Serial?

  • is DCS A10A addon or what?

  • @Pilotbrate6435 Hey silly... DCS A10C is a standalone sim, not a addon for DCS BS. I seen A10A addon for DCS A10C, but A10A is poor and if you want to fly A10A better choose is a LOMAC or LOFC.

  • DCS BS is so good, but automatic startup is the poorest thing in DCS BS ;) if i first time started DCS BS (not on my computer) i learned the startup procedures, with english cockpit this is very simple. And some about twist rudder: much times i using twist rudder in helicopter simulators, but sometimes i using pedals form steering whell, but my pedals are not accurate. Everywhere in helicpoters bombs are fun, but salvo is not good idea. ONLY DRUNK trying blown up AC shelter by cannon!

  • "Outstanding graphic detail" not with my graphic card, if i using my laptop i cant see anything because my graphic card diaplaing only shit.

  • COOL i just got it hope its fun -stupidfart

  • Thanks for the vid though it was fun to watch.

  • LOL Stationary buildings... as opposed to what? Moving buildings? heheh

  • @lonecrow66

    HAHAHAH ya i'm not sure what i meant there.  Yes the game is outstanding, and you don't need to know how to fly a real heli before buying this game. There are many different modes from arcade to full sim, and you will see that it's a lot of fun. Enjoy.

  • @skinnadoor I suppose you have a huge knowledge of Helicopters in the first place, or did you just read the manual?

    Also, have you ever tried Lock On? That's complicated too, so complicated I rage quit to HAWX.

    Only Sim I can actually play is IL-2 Sturmovik, and that's because the planes are far less complicated due to it being set in WWII.

    Well, I can also play Armed Assault 2, but that's less complicated too.

    Anyhow, nice video, very enjoyable.

  • @skinnadoor Hey, I was wondering if I should buy DCS Blackshark. I currently can fly helicopters pretty decently in Arma2 if that has any relevance. So could you tell me how hard it is to learn how to fly in that game? Also, would it be smart to get a joystick? The game looks really fun.

  • @skinnadoor

    Wait, so do you need a joystick for this? Or is it possible to just use the WASD/Arrow keys?

  • @lonecrow66 stationary buildings opposed to mocing buildyngs?, YES, in some countries houses can swim, this is not joke!

  • @lonecrow66 I have moving buildings in my town they move all the time!

  • I never gully understand those game... You have to know how to fly a real helicopter to be able to play it.... wtf

  • What a beauty of a game, I'm currently downloading it via steam.

  • @GeforcerFX update minimum 1 gb ram

  • only the russians would but 500lb aircraft bombs on a helicopter, genius

  • Is someone building a chiffarobe in the background?

  • God bless Mother Russia... I wait for their version of flight sim... it will kick ass

  • is it easy to hover the helicopter on this game?

  • What is the serial number or Dcs Black Shark...

    I download it without the CD-ROM...Pls reply...

  • with this game ther more then one chopper to chose from bc all the video i have seen has been with this one???/

    and all so are u abe to do multiplayer like over the net and lane ?????

  • @1308joey yeah, but it's compatible with LO: Flaming Cliffs 2, so you also have Su-25, Mig 29, Su 27, F15 etc.

  • You can buy and download this Sim, English, DCS Black Shark on "STEAM". It's worth buying for the multiplayer alone...

  • @skinnadoor can you fly other helis in the multiplayer or does everyone fly just KA-50s?

  • Since when do helis carry bombs?

  • @elmehman since long time ago ;)

  • US has the Russian's beat in many places, but attack helicopters is NOT one of them.

  • DO A BARREL ROLL!!!!

  • @closetothe Look at it here watch?v=9Rzvyj90nxA

  • hey man how to use the external camera thing cause i hate the cockpit view and dont know how to turn it off

  • @JosephAllenGameMedia

    You have to have external views checked off in options, and when your playing, hit F2 for the external views, most of the F buttons are views.. hope that helps.

  • this is a great game. i'm playing it with thrustmaster flight joystick and i like this sim.

    it's dificult, but HEY it's a sim!!! it's like microsoft flight sim and it's so much fun! great job making this game!

  • Great sim but hard as hell to fly just like the real thing it's very unforgiving. Runs fine on my dual core 2.8ghz, 4gig ddr2 mem and ATI 5770 setup on max detail.

  • @scalliwagg

    Just make sure you have the Trimmer button, and Trimmer reset mapped to your joystick, makes flying it easy. point the nose where you want it and hit the trimmer button, let go of the controls for a sec, if you get messed up, hit trimmer reset. Hope that helps.

  • @skinnadoor Heh, I never use trimmer while flying ... tried to get used to it... but I don`t need it for my kind of flying... btw, was this flown in sim or arcade mode?

  • Will I be able to run the game on high with good FPS? Thanks

    • AMD Phenom II X4 965 Processor

    • ATI Radeon HD 5670 1GB

    • 4GB DDR3-1333 Memory

    • Windows 7 Home Premium 64BIT

  • @usmcpvtswat Yes you will, the CPU is the most important thing in these kind of sims, a quad like yours does the trick, the ATI is good, I have a 5770 myself, a little better but it doesn't make much difference, the CPU does.

  • @usmcpvtswat you wil ;) .. I`m running it on Pentium E6200 2.8 GHz, 4 GB, HD5670 512 MB, W7 Ultimate x64

  • Do they have a demo anywhere on the net so we can see how it runs on our own systems?

  • @ellonysman

    I don't think there is a demo. But you would be safe with at least 2-4 GB of ram or better, dual core or better, PCI-E vid card..... at least 512mb, and a half decent OS, like windows 7 64BIT.

    Keep in mind, this sim like all the rest runs best on a machine that has been formatted using the windows DVD, a fresh install so to speak. If your pc is from best buy or a retailer that has pre-installed windows for you, performance will be lower because of all the store softtare.

  • @skinnadoor can you make youre missions???

  • Stationary buildings? As opposed to moving ones?  LOL Just yanking yer chain. Thanks for the video.

  • nice

  • is it explained in the game what you all need to do or do you need any experience?

  • I gots to ask: if i can run lock on, can i run this?

  • Will this sim run well on a 512MB video card w/ 4GB ram and 2.4GHz dual core processor? Also, does it take advantage of DirectX10? Great video. You fly like a pro even when drinking beer haha. Thanks for uploading.

  • Comment removed

  • Looks good I'm thinking of picking it up!

    What are you using to fly it? I asume not just the keyboard and mouse?

  • omg is this for pc? do you need a monster machine to run this sim like this video?

    my future specs:

    -amd phenom 2 black edition

    -asus m4a785td-v-evo

    -6gb ram (crucial)

    -2 hardrives wd 500gb and wd 250gb

    -thermaltake tr2 600w psu

    -windows 7 home edition

    mainly im building this for fsx, but will it be enough for blackshark?

  • @50N1C800M

    Your Good To Go

  • @skinnadoor awesome! thanks!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @skinnadoor can you fly jets and humvees and stuff ?

  • altceva inafara de a va lauda nu stiti ?

  • @50N1C800M I rarely post "hard" comments on youtube, but this time...! I've never liked people like you who are always asking "OH MY GAWD...I'm so scared about system specs...Will i run it with my NASA PC?" Have you bought your computer in a mall or do you REALLY know what you've got under the hood?! Don't show yourself off, please. You act like a nerd / looser (choose your most suitable form of address)

  • hey where did you get your game? online or at a store?

  • where do you buy or find all of  the right switches and control pannels at?

  • did i just see 486DX4 during the startup scene?? lol nice :D i used to have one like this in the mid 90s

  • @happosai27

    My pc has been out of commision for the last 3 weeks, on friday my black shark server will be up and running and if anyone wants to rip it up, just page me on here and we'll get something going.

  • @skinnadoor

    ah no. i dont mean your pc but the little screen in the cockpit of the hekicopter.

    i downloaded black shark but need a crack to make it work ._.

  • @happosai27

    I know what you meant, lol. Crack eh ? I bought myne, only because of the on-line, and that is pretty awsome. I'm in western Canada and i haven't seen it in any stores, maybe london drugs ?

  • @happosai27  buy it!!! ^^

  • @Kill4FunAuG

    no need ^^ i found a working one but you need the russian version to make it work xD

  • @happosai27 How about you buy it

  • how did you get that skin for your helicopter?

  • @KittyRokher

    It was a defualt skin, there are a few to choose from.

  • @skinnadoor oh, where do you find the skins?

  • lol awesome D:

    it came out in 2008?? somehow i musst have missed it.

    i bet fox news would call this game something like "muslim terrorist antiamerican hate game" lol XD

    ill buy this one tomorrow!

    good sims are rare now a days

  • For XBOX?

  • @ Maverickf22flyer

    First time i tried to "Manual" start it, without the manual, it caught fire and exploded on the ground, i've never been able to make it do that since.

  • @ Maverickf22flyer

    When starting you only open the fuel cut-off valve once the engine speed is at least 2200 rpm or something like that. It must be tied somehow into the actual engine starter motor, or fuel pumps. Either way, it sounds like you fried the engine starter motor/break the starter motor shaft itself or damaged a fuel system component while trying to open the valves at the wrong time.

  • Somebody try this and please let me know what went wrong and what can be done to recover the engine in this condition, without having to restart the flight!:

    When one engine is idle, put it's cutoff valve to shutdown position and while the engine is shutting down put it back to startup position and let it there...!

    You'll notice that if you try to restart that engine, the EGT will show some increase, while the engine will remain at 0% RPM!:(

    Neighter false start or crank would rise the 0 RPM!

  • i downloaded this game a while ago, it had no tutorial and i didnt feel like constantly alt+tabbing and looking at the manual ..

  • hey when i start a game it says to press Pause/Break to unpause but when i press it nothin happens, i have tried reassigning keys but nothing please help

  • Thanks for that! Good stuff.

  • ya it will work with 1 gig of ram but it won't run as smooth.... compared to 2 gig's or more. read the first comments i post the specs in there.

    cheers.

  • please tel my, online??

  • does the game work for 1 gig of ram ?

  • Thanks for the video(s).

    Also, I'd recommend building your own Freetrack headset or buy a TrackIR set if you don't have one. It'll really improve your enjoyment of the game.

  • you can only fly this heli? or can you download other ones like flight simulator?

  • what specs do you need to run this game for your computer?

  • I'm running it on Windows 7 Premium 64bit at the moment, works good for me.

  • i wish i can play this game, but i have windows 7 home.. and the game won't work!! I LOVE THIS GAME

  • @ rubiconus

    Dude that sounds turbo-gay.

  • Fanboi's make me hawt

  • amazing game

  • how do you git this

  • Hell ya, a joystick is a must, make sure it's got a twist feature... for the rudder..

  • should i play it with joystick?!? plz write back

  • I do enjoy starting her up manually every single time i take off.. I just dont like short cut commands.

  • @PrandtlGlawert

    He did say he was having a beer :P

  • Please reply to this: Is enemy engaged better or is DCS black shark? Or which is more suitable for a 10 year old? Thanks and again please reply

  • Enemy Engaged I suppose. Unless your 10 year old is an aviation nut with a lot of patience. He MIGHT appreciate Black Shark. When I was 10, I used to have a lot of fun with a high fidelity space shuttle simulator back in the day. I didn't understand half of it, but figuring sophisticated sim stuff on my own created such fond memories of my childhood.

    Most kids may want something simpler though, Black Shark is a true to life simulation with a complex cockpit environment and avionic systems.

  • lol well it depends whether your ten year old like super realistic simulators or not. DCS black shark is made by super obsessive people who have replicated all the function of the black shark to provide for one of the most realistic flight sims ever

  • hmm do you think this game could run alright on 3 gigs of ram and a 8400 card?

  • I admire you for playing this game XD, seriously, it seems kind of boring and difficult xD, you really like it eh? I mean, otherwise, you'd play other things :P

  • Maybe becuase you don't appreciate that it's a SIM not a GAME.

  • It's a Simulator, yeah, but, afterall..a game also

  • It can't be both... it's either a Sim or a game.

  • Well, you can lower the difficulty levels next to nil, making it almost as easy as a console game.

  • As long as you have a twist rudder, built in to your joystick your good to go.. I use to this day... the diss-continued Microsoft Sidewinder precision 2 joystick only.

  • I use a Hotas Cougar stick for LockOn and FSX. How would that setup translate over to flying the Kamov KA50? (is that the correct aircraft here?) I'm definitely not going back to kybrd., and can't afford another stick. Also--does this sim support 6DOF for TrackIR?

  • It's nothing compared to BF2, and much easier to fly.

  • I can barely fly the choppers in BF2,.(for example, no amount of practise has ever enabled me to successfully 'funnel' fly, I just keep crashing without even a hint of funnel flying). I reckon I'd get so bored of this in such a short amount of time, I'd just resort to cheap-ass crash-bombing, (kamakaze), in Bf2 like I usually end up doing, not because I WANT to, but because I'm just so crap. No offence against this game - I'm sure for those with better hand-eye-co'ord' it's great fun.

  • 無理w買ったけど乗れませんw

  • does this game use DRM technology

  • The absolute worst actually. It has Starforce and for that reason I alone I refuse to purchase this game, which is a terrible shame because I was really looking forward to this sim. Oh well.

  • Seriously, how did the Russians find Intel 486 processors? The production line closed over 10 years ago.

  • @gerodinis even older processors are used in space craft. In the age of new weapons, EMP etc. old reliable CPU-s are still a great choice.

  • @RuskiTytan

    Right... I read somewhere that the Israelis are also using the i486 on some fighter airplane, don't remember which type and in which of its subsystems it's used though.

  • 0:48

    CPU: 486DX4

    MEMORY: 2097152KB (about 2MB RAM)

    VIDEO: EDGA 32768KB (32 MB VRAM)

    MOUNTED FLASH (flash memory???)

    Quite a good rid, I'd say!

  • All depends on what else you got loaded on your pc.... for programs. I origionaly shot the video using 2GB of ram and using a single core cpu.

    The graphics are excellent, but Black Shark is not a crazy system hog, so i'm sure you will be fine.

  • "You can also do everybodys favorite thing. Hover and annihilate everything on the ground" xD xD .... but: how do you know we love to do that??? :>

  • Don't bother with the cracked version, buy the game it's worth it for the multiplayer alone.

    edcrins: use the default keys for moving your laser designator around, and map your Lock target button to your joystick.

  • black hawk down, we got a black hawk down

    awesome game cant wait to get it.... buying it of course. that way the developers have money to make more!

  • Very realistic game !! Can you support me. How can make a different in the game between flying and gunning ? Which key combination should I use for targeting the enemy. regards ....a rooky.

  • where?

  • IVE BOUGHT THIS GAME YESTERDAY FOR 26 EURO NEW :d

  • sweet......

    I wonder which is better: Apache or KA-50

  • lol, Russia and USA always fight over wich of their jets is more powerful, but the truth is that they are all equal,

    MiG-29:::::F-16C

    Su-27:::::::F-15C

    Su-33:::::::F/A-18C

    Su-47K::::F/A-22A

    Su-47:::::::F-35A

    AH-64:::::::Ka-50

    AH-1S:::::::Mi-24

    Argue all you want, you are equally matched....

  • Yeah man, I can see that. I guess what it comes down to is timing and place and which jet is more modern.

  • remember....PILOTS.

  • @blackeagle989444 Brainiac - Mig-29 is designed for AA missions, to counter enemy jets, unlike the F-16 that is designed to hit targets on land (AG). You can't compare them!

  • @blackeagle989444 actually the f22 is the single most advanced fighter on the face of the planet. (its the only generation 4 fighter in the world) and it is not expected to be beaten until the year 2024 and by then it will have evolved

  • @blackeagle989444 you obviously either havent played blackshark, or dont know anything about the apache. Even before the longbow upgrade, the apache had far superior imaging capabilities, and the dedicated gunner/pilot configuration has been proven superior (hence the ka-52 being 2 seats). The apache also has better target acquisition and designation systems. The Ka-50 is relatively primative as far as modern helicopters go, and im willing to bet most other russian aircraft are too.

  • @blackeagle989444 it comes down to the pilot, IMO the f - 35 is a dud, the mi 24 can transport stuff compared to the ah - 1.

    also the su - 47 hasn't even came out...

    the difference is the U.S could afford way more fuel therefore train more, unlike russia ( who were once good but know soviets are gone..)

    but i say the KA - 50 is the best att heli in the world.

  • i.m buying this game but i have wait on the game one week en the game come

  • maybe i should patent-protect tanks with mirror-surface XD

  • beats me bro, google it. (:

  • going to buy this. looks good and its also track ir enhanced. maybe some of u could answer me a question: how is it possible to measure distances with a laser like this? because enemy tanks are not made of mirrors ;)

    sry, but for so long i wonder how it will work....

  • Maybe I can answer that. A laser sensitive receiver (the eye, if you will) can see the laser light that makes its way back from the illuminated object. Most surfaces do not reflect but rather disperse laser beams in random directions including the direction of the illuminator itself and the sensor. which is a good thing because if tanks were made of mirrors, which reflect and don't disperse, laser ranging would'nt work on them unless the laser beam falls in in the correct angle to be picked up.

  • yeah, thanx for ur good explanation. its really good to understand.

    i only knew how distance in roadworks are measured (mirror i think) and the distance measuring of the moon(mirror), but your explanation is really good and makes sense

    thank you

  • I upgraded my computer for Black Shark... didn't break the bank... but it runs wicked.

  • my pc died the day I got the sim through the post which was gutting. So I hooked up my old pc, just to take a look and get some familiarization in. Its a athalon 2.5 running at 1.8ghz, 750 odd mem, and a geforce 6600 256 card. Its running the sim, at about 5-12fps, lol. piss poor, but at least Im getting used to all the dials and buttons :)

  • yeah pretty much same here.i have to go to my grandpas house to play lock on and all that.SUCKS!!

  • Right now i'm running black shark on a freshly installed version of Windows7, 64bit. With a dual core chip, and 6 GB of DDR800.

    You can fly the shark 3rd person if you like.... and 100% i can let you know, that she's worth paying for the store bought dvd.

    Realy is a blast to fly... and extreem detail, on all aspects of the warfare and equpment.

  • What's ur setup for this game?

  • Can you fly this thing in 3rd person... is it even fun with all the button mashing you have to do?

  • There is a Arcade mode to the game where there isn't any switch flipping required, but why would you buy the sim if you don't want the full experience of flying a ka-50?

  • u can choose console mode so it is 3rd person and like playnig a game on an xbox

  • Ive just bought this, but I wish there was a sim the equal of it with a flyable WAH64 in.

  • Xpacks will be released in the future. The first one will have the A-10 Warthog and then there will be an Apache followed by the F-16.

  • 0:40

    That chopper has an 486DX4 and 2 gigs of RAM. Proves that you don't need lots of megahurtz to obtain a frightenly long e-peen.

  • That is just the ABRIS navigation system. The other computers, like the weapons computer, the shkval, the other navigation system, autopilot computer, etc. all have their own virtual RAM and CPUs, relative to their real-life counterparts.

  • oh ya, it's in shops. And you do need a joystick.

    Come on, anything is fun to shoot down, not just blackhawks !

  • This is a top notch sim. But as a US citizen u know i always hate to see a black hawk get shot down like that. : p

  • Is this game in shops, or still not??? I have flaming cliffs and it is beautiful game:)

  • will i need a joystick to play this?

  • Yup, i too am very eagar to try out Track IR4. I'm just using my joystick hat switch and i mapped zoom in/out to the 2 buttons on my stick.

    My next vid will have Track IR4 i hope.

  • I'm a huge proponant of Track IR. I won't fly or drive without one now.

    Despite your lack of Track IR you manage to get all the views you need.

  • I just bought this game today and the Track IR4 yesterday. Is there a way that you can play this online. Track IR is definately a must.

  • TIR5 came out already, unless I'm missing something here.

  • Yeah I have that part. What about online play?

  • You DEFINITELY need Track IR. It will exponentially increase the realism factor of the sim.

    I'm still getting used to the instruments in BS. So far I'm impressed and am glad I bought it.
