Here is the second Producer Note for the upcoming DCS:Blackshark combat helicopter simulator. This second video shows the insane depth of detail in the onboard GPS system. I like the fact that you can designate areas as no-fire or fire-zones and send them to your wingmates, and these can be preloaded in the mission editor.

I discovered today that there was a bit of an IE layout problem (tested with IE 6), related to an image that was too large, which forced the right-hand menu to the bottom of the page, but looked fine in Firefox. Let me know if you see any layout issues, and I will fix them promptly. Thanks
If you have your own WordPress blog, you should also watch for unclosed tags which can cause a similar layout issue. I’ve turned off auto-formatting, which can break youtube video tags. The solution is discussed here.
I’m still looking for a WordPress plugin that simplifies adding YouTube videos in the New Post editor. A single button would be excellent, similar to the way BBCode works in PHPbb.
UPDATE: found one: smart-youtube
Here’s how you use it.
Let me know if you have any other cool WordPress plugins that you think the site could benefit from.
Looking forward to seeing some user posts! (Email me with any concerns that you have)
Cheers,
Webmaster Ross
It seems that the Eagle Dynamics/DCS forums have been down for a couple of days.
I hope everything is ok.
I know that the sim-mod team website has had some virus problems recently.
I’ll try and update this post when they are back online.
UPDATE Aug 17: looks like they are back up and running, and as far as I can tell the data is still there. Good show.
DCS Producer ‘Matt Wagner’ has been posting video previews of the KA-50 Blackshark simulator that is due to be released this year (2008).
This first video is the startup video, which showcases the insane level of detail in the avionics system.
