Another thing. If you guys want to save time when the Huey will be delivered, you'd better learn how to fly a real helicopter... as it will have nothing to do with the KA-50... And sorry to say that, but FSX, even greatly enhanced with Dodosim is still a joke about helicopters... Please give a chance to X-Plane 10, it has really realistic default physics, and this guy made a perfect Bell 206. You can taste how it looks : This particular Jet Ranger has awesome physics, the startup and overall all turbine management is perfectly simulated, with the starter, governor, twist grip and push to release button ( to close fuel ). Once you know how to handle this chopper, you surely won't have problem with the DCS Huey, as it should behave the same way ( not exactly the same, but closer than the KA50 or FSX ships... ) A matter of preference i suppose, i own both Dodo and Dream, but find myself drifting back to Dodo more often than not. Both have there pro's & con's and any difference at all is marginal,(when it comes to flight dynamics/physics). However, i have limited flight Hrs as a student rotary pilot, and you obviously have the experience to suggest that the Dodo is a joke, of which, i will have to agree to disagree on that one.Perhaps its just being able to revesit my last real time flight in familiar surroundings (home airfield)with great add on scenery, awesome add on weather,realistic add on ATC & AI Traffic, and perfectly being able to replicate my real time route, that i find appealing in comparison? Not my intention to turn this into Vs thread, so where's the Huey, bring it on.:joystick:

Yes, it was a pity the Huey did not eventuate, though I don't think we are going to be disappointed with the forthcoming one ? Yes, like all , Voxatc is not perfect, still the best AI atc available though ? I do use the Saitek radio panel, and I still crash taking my eye off the ball for a few seconds. As with the dodo, I'm hoping we will be able to do some firefighting, sling load, logistic missions with the Huey, and off course, a little combat in between, bring it on.

Getting my rotary fix with the Dodosim Jetranger at the moment,Voxatc is my substitute for the non combat role. Switching radio channels,squawk,altitude,heading,is very demanding with the lack of autopilot on the 206. Watch out for the trees.

Uh, I don't know that one ?

Just wondering if the Dodosim Huey was stalled for the same reason ? Though the Jetranger made it past the drawing board ?

I think this is meant to be a sarcastic comment, as in the whole package?

Despite only flying the shark, I have purchased all content up to P51d beta in support. I will not purchase the remaining or future modules untill I feel significant improvement has been made to the neglected core product. We have patiently waited so so long for significant issues to be addressed, lets hope they get it right soon ?

Roger that 1+

If he wasn't orbiting/observing near to my spawn point, he wouldnt have known where i was shooting his sides forces in the first place. By the time he would have noticed, i would be attempting to take cover behind some transparent trees, or trying to avoid being lased through terrain & buildings while the FPS drop's to 10 FPS at 8m altitude. the shark is definately loosing its magic. :joystick:

We're not talking about Fc2 were talking about DCSW. If your really up for an air to air challenge, jump in a shark and go hunt down some SU.

If you watch Mythbusters, shooting fish in a barrel is quite a difficult challenge, unlike shooting static objects that don't move.

Ok, perhaps I need to be a little wiser regarding choosing server/mission in the future. Obviously the caliber of pilots & sportsmanship has changed dramatically since the introduction of FC3. Just wondering where the challenge is for fast jets shooting down kA-50, are these the same pilots that choose to take on those savage killer tents or the parked truck at the side of the road, spawn killing will be the next topic ? The magic is definately sliding.

After joining public server last night was shot down repeatedly by fast jets. Initially there were just 3 x shark in the server when one SU joined on the opponents team. The SU repeatedly shot down all sharks upon arrival at target area's. The KA-50's appear to be sitting ducks, especially with no air support, there positions are easily given away during their attacks, and use of countermeasure, just says, here I am, come kill me. Eventually, all KA's opted out as more fast jets opted in, since FC3 came on board, this has been on-going. Is this what we can expect in future M/P, as the KA-50 now appears to be loosing its magic ?

Perhaps a poll to decifer overall preference, S/P Vs M/P, ? Once i have finished S/P (any software/game/sim), i never usually return to S/P, M/P then becomes my preference, period ?

Silence is deafening, could here a pin drop around here ? Assume the late week test did not go so well ? 3rd party devs have been awfully quiet also ?

No trees to hide behind, lased through buildings & terrain, shocking FPS down low, definately room for improvement, me thinks ? Seems KA-50 gets little love nowadays, is there anything to look forward to in 1.2.3 for us rotorheads ? + 1 for the above also

Exchanged 13.1 for 13.2 last night, definite improvement on my 7970 @ 6040 x 1080 (not so much on fps, 25 - 35 at base, 35 - 45 airborne, good enough for me though, could be better ), seems to run much smoother ?

So that should be DCFS and not DCS ?

With the recent introduction of CA and the inferior fidelity of FC3, perhaps we're asking the wrong questions, after all, this product is marketed as a combat simulator and not a flight simulator ?

Now that the FC3 fidelity model has invaded the DCS World, is this the new future standard of fidelity we may come to expect ?

Not familiar with FC, just wondering if there is a high fidelity Vs low fidelity issue here (sim Vs arcade) ? There must be a significant fundamental difference between aquireing & destroying targets between a DCS and a FC module's, Eg, Dcs A10c Vs FC A10c ? I would imagine FC modules would have far more advantage on the battlefield over DCS modules ? Also noticed FC pilots actively engaging slow & static targets (KA50's) via f10 map, they are sitting ducks, with no place to hide, not even behind trees, no competition.

Nice piece of marketing,though I will not be buying any new modules until what we already have, has been fixed ?

Just a thought Any chance of a duel DCSW, one optimised for rotary wing & one optimised for fixed wing ? It is getting a little long in the tooth arriveing at a target area in the KA50, to find it has allready been cleared by A10's or other. Not being able to use tree's for cover in an attack hellicopter is a bit of an immersion killer IMHO. I would immagine there would not be many real time KA50 pilots alive if this was the case, perhaps this is why the KA50 was decomisioned lol ?

I have black buildings in Shval since latest update. Do not use alt tab, full screen enabled.

well, I tried the pillow, and then the book, and then both the pillow and the book, I then inverted both the book and the pillow, but to still no avail lol. Razors suggestion works conventionally, but not suitable for my Eyefinity/Tir configuration. Perhaps I should post in DCS wish list ? Thanks for the reply's.
