Welcome friends from all over the world, my name is Olivier Jansen, i'm from Belgium. I played helicopter games since i was young, and regret that i never went for a helicopter pilot. I am still considering following lessons here, to become private pilot. The rest is just way to expensive, even those private pilot course i guess :(
Last game i played was APACHE: AIR ASSAULT (Playstation 3) which was good, played it platinum... i liked it... then i saw a friend who made a quadcopter, which got me more intrested in drones... and then i saw this on youtube:

Probably costed a fortune, but i like it very much... so now, at age 36... i decided, to follow the dream, and that brings me here, through DCS UH-1 HUEY... now that is what i hopefully can call a simulator, the flight guide is real, it's just real :thumbup: and it's cheap too !!!
So i have some questions ?
- i still have an old PC, i have an AMD 3000+... Minimum system requirements: Operating system: Windows XP, Vista or 7; Processor: Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz; Memory: 3 GB; Free hard disk space: 7 GB; Video: 512 MB RAM card, DirectX 9 - compatible; Sound: DirectX 9.0c - compatible; requires internet activation. Would it work ? or just for a while wait until i have a new PC?
- it's all download, no boxes or manuals i guess?
- Can i compare it with real helicopter lessons?
Regards,
Olivier Jansen
