rockape LAN_WROTE ... yah. i have a10 but not got into it much lately. and i use to fly blackshark with the 104th vfs a couple of yrs ago when it came out. not got BS2 tho. does BS1 still work online with ver2/a10?? No. You gotta get Blackshark 2 to play multiplayer with the new DCS Warthog servers. I've been really really really interested in this for a while, but I don't know if I can ever learn all of this by myself. I've been teetering on the fence on whether I should get a Track IR which I know I'll need for anything flight sim. related, but my confidence (after seeing the 371 page manual) has kept me from purchasing and trying it. If I ever did learn this, I have a feeling that I'd be hooked on all things flight sim-related for years to come. I'm right there with you. I had the original Black Shark but didn't get into it much because frankly I was on my own. Now with Warthog being released on Steam and the new influx of players, I'm more inclined to spend some time to learn Black Shark 2 with friends.
