TX-Kingsnake, TX-Gunslinger, GOZR, and myself have been having a blast with Black Shark.
As a veteran clickable cockpit pilot from other sims, the lack of a cockpit interface in IL-2 and LockOn were big let downs. . .of course there isn't a lot to worry about in a WWII era cockpit compared to something like a modern fighter, I still notice every time I use those two sims (the only ones I own, that don't have clickable cockpits). . .BlackShark is helping me get my fix! The flight physics are impressive, and overall systems fidelity seems excellent. There are only a few inop switches in the cockpit, and the outside air temperature is also inop, but apparently all of that will change soon. . .in the end, it raises the bar in most respects. If it has a weakness, it's that there is only one flyable (for now) and that the graphics are still pretty much like a subtle update to LockOn. . .and to be honest, neither of those is a weakness at this point. It looks great in most cases, and the Ka50 learning curve is steep enough to keep anyone entertained, even if they wish they were flying a Longbow (I admit to missing the mast mounted AN/APG-78 system of the Longbow though).
