Product Description
-------------------
DCS: Black Shark offers an innovative combat simulation
experience that is sure to challenge the hard-core flight
enthusiast. There is also an easy-to-play arcade mode that can be
enjoyed by any beginner. Employing -qualified technology,
it¿s an unprecedented level of realism ¿ flight dynamics,
instruments modeling, avionics systems, and weapons systems like
you¿ve never seen before. A detailed 125,000 sq mi depiction of
the European / Asian border region serves as your battlefield and
includes a broad array of eastern and western air, land and sea
units. Each unit is accurately reproduced to include detailed
models, weapons systems, movement dynamics and artificial
intelligence. Add to this a state-of-the art campaign system
which allows the front line of the battlefield to move back and
forth according to your mission success or failure. Each bullet,
rocket, shell or bomb fired is modeled in the most precise detail
for an unimaginably visceral gaming experience. The new Mission
Editor includes a powerful electronic ping system that allows
you to easily create missions and campaigns, and nonlinear
campaigns are also included for unlimited replayability.
Multiplayer mode supports up to 16 players and includes both
cooperative play using the Ka-50 data link and head-to-head
combat. With intense missions, authentic flight modeling and
versatile gaming options, DCS: Black Shark offers the most
realistic flight simulation experience ever.

DCS: Black Shark is the definitive PC simulation and combat game
of the Russian Kamov-50 (Ka-50) attack helicopter and is the
first title in a new Eagle Dynamics and the Fighter Collection
simulation series: "Digital Combat Simulator" (DCS). DCS: Black
Shark offers an unprecedented level of realism in regards to
flight dynamics, instruments modeling, avionics systems, and
weapon systems, while its artificial Intelligence of ground
vehicles and helicopters and weapon modeling is second to none.

the Black Shark World
DCS: Black Shark operations are based in the western Caucus
region and include portions of Russia, Georgia and a small part
of Turkey. With Russia, special attention is paid to the
Krasnodarskiy, Karachayrvo-Cherkesiya, Kabardino-Balkariya and
Stavropol’skey regions. Some of this area will be recognizable
from Flaming Cliffs, but DCS: Black Shark has added a
considerable new a of terrain, particularly much of Georgia.
the DCS: Black Shark is approximately 330,000 sq. km of
ground and sea area.
Comprehensive Access to Kamov-50 Avionics Systems
DCS: Black Shark comes packed with a wide range of piloting,
navigation, targeting and defensive systems avionics for the
Ka-50. Game copies include a detailed flight manual covering
these, which include, but are not limited to: traditional
electromechanical cockpit instruments, multifunction advanced
moving system AMMS (ABRIS), the "Rubicon"
targeting-navigation system, the I-251 "Shkval" antitank
targeting system, countermeasure dispensers, a head-up display
(HUD) and helmet-ed ing (HMS).
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Aircraft
the primary innovation regarding AI aircraft in Black Shark is
the inclusion of a new and improved flight model (FM) system. In
previous Eagle Dynamics products such as Lock On, the AI-aircraft
FM did not reach a high-level of realism, relying sometimes
instead on animations to supplement flight dynamics equations.
This absence of detailed angle of attack modeling and the
influence of cross wind led to problems during advanced
maneuvers. To remedy this Black Shark features the same standard
flight model (SFM) that was used for player-controlled aircraft
in Lock On. With this advancement in AI aircraft flight dynamics
it is now possible for the AI to conduct more advanced flight
maneuvers and combat tactics.
Ground Vehicles, Ships and Weapons
Ground vehicles, ships and weapons such as bombs, rockets,
missiles and cannons have been significantly improved in Black
Shark. Improvements include: an expanded roster of available
active ground vehicles, the ability of each ground vehicle to use
multiple types of weapons simultaneously, an overall increase in
the level of detail and the inclusion of infantry units.
