Doing this will makes things easier when someone wants to find information out about it.

I put the link you provided into the first post of this thread.

Or if you like I could just move every thread to "other topics" like I am supposed to do since it doesn't pertain to BOP. Just saying...

can i use my thrustmaster hotas x? or am i going to get thrusted when i pop in the game and go wtf no flight stick support?

My first guess would be since it is Gaijin that is making the game I would say they will give us flight stick support. But since we know nothing about the game and there is no website or dedicated forum its hard to say for sure. I am curious to know if it runs off of the same engine as BOP and maybe they have put some of the features in that we asked for in BOP (crossing fingers).

What is weird is none of that has been done yet and the game is coming out in under two months.

This is offtopic but I was looking around and noticed 1C published a game called "Whirlwind of Vietnam" Developer is G5 Software and there isn't a forum for this game but just thought I would let you guys know this incase you wanted to try a helicopter sim out that I didn't know was out there.

Whirlwind of Vietnam


This is a few years old. PC only

I know we know nothing about this game coming out. But I do remember Anton saying that in the sequal to BOP that they were going to look at different things, and one of them was using the playstation eye for headtracking, since we don't even know if they are making a console sequal lets hope that they have implemented this feature into Apache Air Assault.

Would be killer to track targets on the ground using your head like a real apache would.

Hind is not as good as you think. It needs a runway to take off most of the time.

I used to drop from them in Afghanistan, not very comfortable in those chairs. The way the Mi-24 is, is like a flying BMP-3. They are old, but I hope they are replaced by the Ka-50.

Yes, good choppers, overall its historical importance is great, but it lack in performance in terms of being a helicopter. Nothing a squad of blackhawks and apaches cant do better.

All russian stuff is really made uncomfertable. But it works, it works well. THats all that really matters.

It's faster than a Blackhawk and an Apache. You'd need a Blackhawk and an Apache just to do the job of one Hind.

You were (are?) Russian airborne? Wow, never know who you might meet on the internet. My uncle was US 101st airborne and would drop from Hueys in Vietnam. You guys have way more guts than I do, glad you're still in one piece.
