How about you also deprive the plane of it's wings as the rotors ARE the helicopters wings.

There is no way that planes or helicopters spawn at that altitude and just fall down. And if a helicopter reaches that altitude and it's hydraulics system or engine fails it will be able to get to the ground if the pilot is trained.

The point is that both vehicles work differently and have different strenghts and weaknesses. That also goes for rockets and other stuff as well.
Just because helicopters work differently it doesn't mean they are worse than a plane.

if we enter the area of opinion, yes its possible. and in my opinion helos are worse, and just not my thingy.

The only reason helicopters fly is that they are so unnatural that even the earth rejects them!

I've got the full version installed since thursday.

first impression; it works (sorry it's just that I can't really say the same about Clod)

graphically speaking its a modified Arma2 engine, and it isn't that hard to tell that it is. However, when it comes down to flight modelling this is a surprisingly challenging sim. And that's just after barely touching the training missions......

here's a few pit pics

I'm really impressed to be honest but I wish we had some light/medium Eurocopters.
Maybe when the SDK is released, I'd buy them if they were DLC.
