I got the KA wayyyy back when. I was very intimidated by the chopper an also DCS being my 1st ever flite sim. Over the years an with the rewards of learning the A-10C I applied some of that structure(later) towards the KA50 ie readin, watching tutorials, doing the training and practice,practice practice. I'm by no means an expert but I can fly the heli an somewhat fight it which is way better than the nooby sitting in the cockpit I was wandering"what have I gotten myself into" all those yrs ago. Way worth the time invested, an yes the heli is awesome in 1.5.
