Yo,

The helicopter sim from the lockon developers seems to have hit the market recently , i bet everyone here already knows but i just found out. So if anyone have tried it , is it any good and worth the money

?

Looks great, contains Starforce.

Caveat emptor.

A few squaddies have gotten it and say it is absolutely a brilliant helo sim. Understand there is only 1 flyable (Black Shark) and there are a few small issues that should be ironed out very soon.

Bottom line...I hear them saying "get it!"

it's also important to note that DCS intends to add a new aircraft every nine months. in fact Matt Wagner says progress is moving along on the next aircraft, the A10C yeah, the C, not the A). Also, DCS hopes to implement two-seater multiplayer aircraft at some point. Imagine the Strike Eagle, or Apache online with two players occupying complex aircraft. I'd like to see the Tornado too.

Interesting about the A-10C. That variant is extremely new. I guess its easy for them with the A-10A already modeled. I heard there was a F-16CJ in the works as well.

I reaad somewhere that at first the A was going to be done, but then DCS got permission to do the C as well. IIRC DCS does a training version of the C for the U.S. military. Also, DCS posted a list of a/c it plans to model. I'm not sure which version of the F16 is on there.

I don't know if you flew Long Bow 2 but it supported 2 guys multiplayer in the Apache. It was the best Helo sim for a very long time.

I just picked up BS on Friday and I've done a few FAM flights. I'm very impressed.
