You connect your car to 'ground power'. (Engine and cabin heat, for those of us lucky enough to live right next to the f'ing North Pole.)

The base jumpers certainly keep the Norwegian rescue helicopters busy. Looks like great fun though.

here you go.

No, couldn't find any list of sources. It definately contains proposed and experimental weapons for other helicopters. (Penguin missile for Apache, etc)

Dunno how reliable it is, but Modern Fighting Helicopters (by Bill Gunston and Mike Spick) lists 'R-60 dogfight missile' and 'R-73 heavy AAM' as pylon mounted weapons...?

Got one too, still haven't gotten it properly configured. Right now the collective only works in the low and high range of the logitech throttles, huge dead zone in the middle. Spent a weekend to get it so far, which is annoying as it took ten minutes to get flying in FSX. :D I don't like the recentering of the pedals, but other than that it's a great kit.

I read in a book once that you can launch some ammo to discourage, or even drop pods to fool the enemy into believing that you have a2a capability. Before evading of course. You can't scare AI though, so it's hardly relevant.

This looks very good, thank you!

Sorry about that. Well, the A-10C was approved despite it's high-techness, so maybe in a couple of years the Apache Longbow might get approved as well. Who knows. And if ED wants to make it of course. We don't even know if the module after A-10 will be a helicopter, right?

Just a thought, does the Westland Apache have the same information restrictions as the American Longbow? Not that the AH-64A would be a problem, as long as a flyable OH-58 is included. ;)

How does missions actually work though? (as I've never played a military flight sim.) Will it mostly be like "head to x, destroy convoy/sam site/something, and return to base", or will it be about participating in coordinated battles with friendly and enemy ground and air vehicles? I've been reading Red storm rising lately, and I would definately love to play something like that.

Aviation was so much cooler before they started involving science. :D

Ah, thank you for explaining Sobek. The whole concept sounds so... nice. Not like the gaming industry at all. Pretty dang cool.

What new engine? I don't follow.. Are the next DCS modules like the A-10 and AH-64 ment for the new engine? Sorry, new guy. :)

Really cool Agusta pictures! I guess there's no hope of seeing the 109 in a DCS module anytime soon so pictures are appreciated. ;)
