Having spent a long time reading this thread and pondering a purcase, i've finally bit the bullet and done it.

The files are downloading now, so will report back after i've had a play of the game.

I have a feeling it's going to take a little while to get the thing off the ground, but having played FS series for a number of years, I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

Hi All,

I bought this via a digital download from DCS, but since my first install have rebuilt my PC.

When I ran the game last night it popped up with the activation box asking for a serial number to be entered, so I went back through my emails to look for this and I can't find it.

I looged onto the DCS website to try to find my key in my account but it doesn't show there.

Does anyone now how you go about getting a refreshed serial number for the game sent out.

Regards

If you go over to the main site at http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com and login, then go to the files tab on the left, and then the products sub tab, it shows the CDKey for Black Shark there.
 
Aren't they due to release the first big patch shortly? I bought this in February and think it's definatly the best sim I've played. However I only have my laptop to run it on! It plays okay but I think I'm only really getting a small slice of what the game really has to offer!

Can you download as often as you like from their site?

Also, does the Retail version come with a beefy manual or just a PDF on the disc?

Yep, you can download as often as you like. The retail version is basically the download version burned to a disc, with the excellent producers notes videos and the pdf manuals on the disc too. You can download these anyway.

There is a separate extended KA-50 ring bound manual available for purchase for about £20, mine is on its way from amazon now.

Some patch info and an updated Georgian Oil War Campaign

Eagle Dynamics Update – 15 June 2009

It’s been a little over a month since the last update, so I thought it time to bring you all up to speed:

1- DCS: Black Shark Update/Patch. The update/patch is still in work but many more of the training tracks are broken due to update/patch changes than we first expected. Moving forward with DCS: A-10C Warthog, it is unlikely we will continue using the track file system for training missions! Between this and a couple of high-priority, time-sensitive tasks that have come up, the update/patch will probably not be released until August 2009. We understand that this is disappointing news to some, but believe me when I say that we want to release the update/patch even more than any of you.

2- DCS: Black Shark Printed Manual. Regarding North American distribution, the manuals have arrived at the distributer’s warehouse and will be sent to both GoGamer.com and Amazon.com. We apologize for the delay on this.

3- DCS: Black Shark Localization. Our localization manager and the dedicated Spanish translation team are working very hard on finalizing the Spanish version and are now at the release candidate stage.

4- DCS: A-10C Warthog. Not much to report here other than progress is good and it we will go into alpha testing after the Black Shark patch is released. Probably starting in August we’ll be discussing this project in more detail and I will start the Producer Notes soon after. We appreciate the PM beta tester application, but please note that we are not accepting beta tester applications at this time.

5- Lock On: Flaming Cliffs. As mentioned in the last update, we are working on a further evolution of this product line. However, until the software is essentially done, we will not be discussing this in any detail. Sorry.

6- 3rd Party Tools. As some of you may have noticed a Tool Wiki is available here: http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/All_about_land and forum discussion here: http://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=89 In the near future we will be adding an additional 18 documents regarding terrain construction (kudos to Hawg11). Later in the year we will be adding additional plug-ins and instructional documents to create new aircraft.

Given the unfortunate delay in getting the 1.0.1 patch out, the one item I could released early is an updated version of the included Georgia Oil War campaign. This version includes many adjustments based on user feedback.

Primary changes:

- Various identified scripting errors fixed

- Player killed point penalty removed

- Cold start on all missions that do not have fixed timing issues

- Vista warning removed

- Mission titles based on mission type removed to avoid confusion

- All offensive missions now are rated between 51 and 100 to provide more random mission assignment due to players always trying to max score at 100

- Force on force missions now start player at 50 pts.

- Radar SAMs in third chapter removed

- Recon zones increased to 3,000 meters

- AD systems at route points have even lower random variable settings

Been waiting for the patch for what feels like ages. Must admit I haven't played much DCS the past month or two but will be firing it back up hopefully in the next few weeks.
