I just tried it and it works.  Try opening the link in another browser, i.e. Firefox.

Odd, seems mediafire is on/off/on/off... I was trying all day today with both ie and firefox, using IDM and normal downloading. I leave it an hour or two and come back and it's fine.

Funny how desperate you get when it's one little file that'll get a little extra function in a game/application :)

Cheers anyhow!

e: I got the english one, but now I try the russian one and it won't download, giving the same error as I got before. Just my luck, it's the russian one I need!!! (I didn't know which one I actually needed as I'm copying over the russian files with the english ones, so I decided to take both as a precaution... but I only got as far as the english one before mediafire decided that it won't let me download a ~120kb file!!!)

"Grrr" doesn't quite cover it :(

Is actual legal action going to be taken upon those who implemented this encryption? I think it's ridiculous that they did this to those of us who speant the time to setup our own head-tracking devices, but atleast we got an easy crack!  :p

Thanks for that!

Well, I've left a download manager trying intermittently to download the russian file until it does so successfully.

If anyone does have the russian file to hand and has 5 minutes to spare, could you please mail it to me?

Address is my username at gmail dot com.

Another thanks in advance in case someone does help out!  :D

e: I've managed to download the files now, works well. Until the next patch though, I suspect. From what I've read on another forum Eagle Dynamics will be implementing their own 3DOF interface for other head tracking devices (FreeTrack being the only "other" one) to implement into their own applications.

I still don't see what right Natural Point have to lobby a game developer into removing support for 6DOF for any other devices other than their own. Do they have any copyright or patent on 6DOF?

I almost understand that NP would have the right to restrict the use of their own API in any given software, but to request (read: threaten) that ED restrict any API they create for other devices to 3DOF or else they pull the plug on their own support for black Shark (a shot in their own foot in one way, a sneaky way of leveraging ED in another) would be downright illegal according to competition laws.

Am I right in thinking that FreeTrack is capable of outputting 6DOF without using TrackIR's API? If this is true, that either the FreeTrack interface, SimConnect or other means exist to make it work, surely ED are obliged to provide support for one or more of these methods?

Edit:

Ok, don´t mind. Didn´t realise, that there is another dll for the english version. This one works also for the german version, so forged the original post.

original post **************************************

Yesterday I got my german version of DCS Blackshark.

It seems that there is a new NewInput.dll included. Its filesize is 552.960 Bytes.
The dll in the russian version and the fixed dll have a size of 385.024 Bytes.

If i replace it with the fixed .dll I get an error an the mission won´t load.  :snif:

I hope we can get a fixed version for the german version soon.

Thanks a lot for your work so far.

The mediafire links really do come and go. One minute it sayes there is no such file and the next, it is there. It's working right now at this very moment. Please give it a shot.
