I can't believe what I'm reading.. You can't hide behind trees in a helicopter simulator you have spent almost 5 years of developing?

I am also one of the X-52 fanboys. Been playing flight simulators for 20 years now, my last 4 years with the X-52 and it works flawlessly.

9 months waiting for next flyable is nothing if we consider the time we (at least I) have waited for Black Shark. I think it was back in late 2004 I started to wait for it to be released. Now after 4 years I might see a light in the tunnel :-)

I won't make any, but I will gladly pay for any high quality payware add-on.

I second that. Steam is a great online game market, the way it should be.

Yeah, MicroProse's Fleet Defender was awesome, not to forget F-19 Stealth Fighter on the C64/Amiga :D

i can only imagine, but I feel that the stationary threats from below are far less dangerous than i.e. an F-16 armed with both AIM-120/9.

I think definitely that a Black Shark Wiki can live alongside with the manual. A wiki is great when you need to find something out fast, or you sit at work with nothing to do. (It's easier to hide that you read non-related work stuff from a computer than from a book with a picture of a helicopter on it :P). A 500 page manual is handy when you're on a place where no internet connection is available. I know that I would at least appreciate a Black Shark wiki :)

due to my experience with radio controlled aircrafts, fixed wing aircrafts are far more prone to changes in c/g than helicopters. I can mount a 2lb camera in front of my .50 size heli without any problems hovering and manouvering it. That would be impossible with an eqvivalent fixed wing aircraft.

Bell 412 or the MI-40

That would be awesome :pilotfly: Thanks for the heads up!

I'm sorry if this question has been arisen before, but are there any chances that we will see rescue operations and freight operations with helicopters in the future? I know that the Black Shark is an attack chopper, but have you ever considered to add a non-violent chopper (like the Bell 412, CH-47, etc) with a campaign system? My passion is flying and operating helicopters, not killing/destroying/blowing up things. One of my favorite games of all times are SAR4 and Vietnam Med Evac :)
