Woo hoo , we get a patch for FREE how nice of them

Downloading now

Will have to see if I can still fly thru trees in this ultra realistic flight simulator

Anyone else think it is kinda worrying that they tell you to re-install fully if their patch
goes horribly wrong , does not inspire confidence

So Black Shark 2 requires BS1, how does this work with steam? I am considering grabbing BS1 on steam as it's on offer right now.

edit: Nvm, I just saw your post about it Nate. So when buying the BS2 upgrade, you get a key which you must enter to play the game once updated?

Basically there are 2 versions of BS2. A Standalone version and an Upgrade from BS1. The cheaper Upgrade version of BS2 will work with the Steam version of BS1.

However, the Upgrade BS2 version will install to a separate Folder outside Steam. The Steam version of BS1 will be untouched. The one caveat is that you must fly in BS1 once and then install BS2.

Clear as mud huh? :)

They really should offer the BS2 pack as paid for "DLC" on Steam although their relationship with Steam is odd at best. The fighter collection (Publisher) blame Steam although personally, I just think it is because they are not a publisher and do not know what they are doing (Which is not entirely their fault).

Brilliant, thanks for that. It looks like buying from steam and then upgrading is cheaper than buying the full version 2, so I will go down that route!
