That helo sim had potentional, i knew what i would do with it but hit a brick wall trying to talk to the devs.....

There is nothing like a UH-1 gunship flying over jungle with everything from miniguns to rockets blazing.....

if anyone read this and who have some contact to the team behind Whirlwind over vietnam please send me PM....i stil would like to bug fix and mod the crackzz out of that game....

Is that 'The' LZ X-Ray they're talking about in that video? The Ia Drang one?

If you want to fly a helicopter try KA-50 Black Shark, good fun if you really like helicopters.

No, I'll never forgive DCS:BS

Without a top-of-the-line joystick it is impossible to effectively deploy unguided rockets in that sim. With a top-of-the-line joystick it is supposed to be almost as hard.

I still fly it sometimes - without any weapons.

I like rockets.

As for Autogyro's, Oleg implied many months ago that he had tried flying one and it is supposed to be a very intriguing experience. I'd prefer a flyable lysander, but civil aviation has its charms.

Yes we are developing autogyro that was in a service of many european countries, including UK, Germany and Italy. And it was built by license from Italy

I hope to get it in release. Flyable. Two seater.

Russians also used own autogyro A-7... and someone also started it in the past for Il-2, but not finished.
A7 used in a Battle for Moscow.

Interesting to try the FM they did

After all he didn't demand a chopper on release, he just asked if it's possible to some day have choppers in the simulator's engine which, judging from the long-confirmed knowledge of an upcoming Korean war add-on, is something that would be useful in the context of it.

New mission builder triggers + cessna o-1 birddogs + skyraider + helicopters = awesome pilot rescue missions in multiplayer

Yes yes.. thanks for clearing that up for me man.. i just think it would bring a whole new nice little gameplay into it too. (not that I dont like the current gameplay). Plus, Ive been craving a good modern combat helicopter simulator for a while now. I know Oleg could do it!

awww man thats cool

Shhh Oleg. They don't like people talking about mods here.

Well, seeing as you've mentioned them, I'l probably just about get away with saying that they are a pig to fly well, at least to start with. So probably accurate in that regard at least. Apparently the modders struggled for months to get them to work, but they seem to handle more or less correctly, from what real chopper pilots have said. I'm sure someone will tell you where to find them, so give it a go.
