Hi 47_Driver, I just stumbled upon your comment on the DCS forum and I am so glad that a pilot who actually flies the CH47 decided to tackle the critics on the DCS forum. As a civilian helicopter engineer, now retired, contracted by the RAAF I had the opportunity to participate to the upgrade standard (in 1993/95) of four CH47Cs subsequently delivered to the Army in 1995. This was the most challenging and enjoyable project of my entire engineering career.

Therefore I do understand the complexity of the aircraft, even thou I never worked on the F model, I also understand how daunting it must be to translate this A/C into a flyable virtual model. The ED team attached to this model have already done a fantastic job with the unit we already have to fly with. We should be humbled by these achievements for what they have ahead is a real challenge. This aircraft is a piece of art, and if the DCS pilots really want to learn how to fly an helicopter, this is the time NOW with the CH-47F.

As my instructor said..."Keep practicing your over"

Cheers Mate
