Hueyman

I know, but the MI-24 is just the Symbol of ex USSR .. the Apache is not the US one.. it was the Huey, my favorite heli, but absolutely no chance to hope to see it in DCS, Vietnam Era wasn't Maverick, Vikhr and Hellfire era.. And I'm a russian stuff enthusiast, all that complex engineering, heavy things from the 80's.. You must admit russian stuffs are exceptionnal, wheras US ACFT are more conventional and use less " superlatives ".. The Russian, with their giant submarines, AN-225 or even MI-26 just need respect .. Anyway I don't know much about the MI-24 Task repartition, does the WSO do everything conscerning weapons ? Or just the gun ? In some cool and fun games like BF2, the gunner only controlled gun and missiles, Pilot the rockets. I'm feared that if 3'rd party guys start to develop, the quality level of DCS will Quickly decrease.. The only solution would be that, before a release of a 3'rd party ACFT, DCS would check and accept the file.. that would take too much time. If they could release 2 ACFT a year, that would be genius. I personally hoping for MI-24, and Mirage 2000 for next Aicrafts... There aren't only American or Russian fighter you know.. The actual Rafale ( yes I'm French ! ) is just one of the best, if not the best.

DCS : MI-24 Hind Hello heli pilots ! I'm wondering what you think about that marvelous attack helicopter for next DCS module about helicopter. I know main part of votes is for the Apache, but once again, it's a US heli, and last DCS was American Bomber.. I think the Hind has a much more important history than the Apache,it's a kind of symbol of ex CCCP and Cold War. Beautiful, powerful, the Hind is very versatile, from troop transport to infantry support.. Moreover, it already has a very realistic and accurate 3D model in DCS, I know it's just a little part, it miss systems etc.. but isn't what you did for the Mustang ? I really hope Flying Legends and Eagle Dynamics have that idea in their " to do list " http://red-stars.org/IMG/jpg/Mi-24P_Hind-F.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/Helicopter_Cockpit_Mil_Mi-24D_Hind.jpg http://www.checksix-forums.com/gallerie/albums/userpics/42953/normal_99.jpg

Hello Guys ! I'm french, everyone here knows about Alouette III, that bird will NEVER escape from our hearts, as well as Alouette II and Lama. Thhen come the Puma/Super Puma/Caracal series helicopter, different generation. We have also the " Tigre " actually one of the best attack helicopter of the world, seriously. But the thing that shocked me the most .. Why ( almost ) anyone didn't mention ... the Huey ?! I mean the Vietnam Era Bell 205 UH-1 Iroquois commonlly called the " Huey ". I'm assuming most of you are native american, this bird and his legendary rotor sound should be part of your roots, of your identity, like the hamburger and the rock n' roll .. If you're paying attention, look at the quality of the Huey aviable as AI in DCS Blackshark, the UH-1H, very nice detailed. Of course, the possibility of such an ACFT would go with a totally different theatre an era.. I mean we go back 40 years earlier, somewhere in southeast asia.. I'm sure there is something great that could be picked up from that, a DCS Module : Vietnam, with only two flyable helis : the UH-1H as troops transport, Medivac, and the UH-1C Gunship, no modern weapons system, only good old rocket, but a campaing that would take both birds into account, following the pilot's profile during the progression of the war, for example it start around 1965 in the Dust Off Huey, and get a quick role as a ground attack/support Huey pilot, in collaboration with old Cobras. What do you think ? The Huey is just THE most knowed helicopter from all around the world, it's kind like the DC-3 for fixed wing. And the Vietnam conflict would change from eternal Russian conflicts that we're used for since first versions of Lock On. Best regards, Valentin.
