Does anyone in folk play these games?

I ask because I have lately been really getting into the beta of DCS A-10 that was recently released for prepurchasers of the full game when it comes out. It's a beta so some of the weapons and flight model issues are borked, but it's still more complete than many releases, and there's a ton of content.

Unfortuately, it doesn't do MP with Black Shark (yet). However, Black Shark and Flaming Cliffs 2.0 do network, and that means you can have multiplayer with any of the aircraft in FC2 in addition to Black Shark. Which is pretty damn awesome.

I know that Xiathorn is a flight sim deviant, I could smell it on him as soon as he joined. But it might also be that some of you are daywalkers--those that carry the disease but are able to hide it from outsiders. If that's the case, maybe we can get a session of DCS or LOMAC going at some point.

Here are some videos I put together on DCS A-10 to show how some of the systems work. Also how to land. (don't ask how I got started doing this. I'm not sure myself) DCS Instruction Playlist

And here's a pathetic attempt at a Black Shark video from earlier in the year.

And here is what you probably really wanted, a video of stuff getting blown up with the A-10's main gun.

Having played another flight sim with Headspace before, I can tell you that's he is great fun to play with. He's very knowledgable about the aircraft, and can help you work out how to play if you're not familiar with the particular sim, but he's absolutely crap at actually playing so you'll be able to destroy him within a short space of time.

I'm currently unemployed and useless, so I won't be able to pick up FC2.0 - although I do own Black Shark - for quite a while. If people want to try this out, I'm game.

Pretty much. At least with BS I can try to hide in trees while Xiathorn is busy playing with the boys in his F-15.

I'm in! Only have Blackshark but willing to expand if there are players to enjoy with.

Good games shame they come with Starforce..

I Black Shark but only played it a few times (and not for over a year now). I would like to get into it but finding the time is a major major problem for me

Headspace....awesome videos...absolutely awesome.

Is MP enabled in the A-10 beta? If so...I will buy it tonight.

Yeah, it's enabled but I haven't tested it.

We'll change that then. Purchasing tonight.

Now the proad owner of the beta Headspace. Now we need a time and a place
